Pros

Helping to bring the business up to date with a system that is modern and innovative. It is user friendly and easy to add new functionalities to it according to the business needs.
As a socially responsible company, it feels good to support another company like Salesforce that is committed to these values too.
Salesforce remains the best CRM application for growing our business because of the amazing features. Integration of third-party and add-on options it offers.

Pros

The comprehensive database, the intuitive tools, the ease of deployment - all of these are appreciated about this product.
It is popular and used by a few other businesses that we know, so we considered it and the functionality is good.
Love the email tracking and wonderful having contacts all in the same place. As a solopreneur, it is like having a virtual assistant.

Cons

Terrible experience I wouldn't recommend to even our biggest competitor, Salesforce is totally unintuitive and with very bad UX. Expensive, hard to use and hard to manage.
There are times when the automation fails and gives back inaccurate data. We have to trouble shoot almost weekly to figure out what happened.
The only negative aspect I've encountered while utilizing SalesForce is that saving entered data is not done automatically and can lead to losing work.

Cons

Also, there is a hard limit of 1,000 custom fields, which is not something you can even buy more of, which in my opinion is a severe limitation.
Lack of industry specific columns or trackers. Lack of customization to suit the needs of the industry I was in.
There have been multiple times where we lost data and data was unretrievable.

It has many features, Einstein is funny and It now comes with three months of G Suite by Google Cloud at no cost.

I like all of the integrations that link with Salesforce such as Slack, Trello, and much more. It's pretty easy to set these up.

All of the internal features. It has a steep learning curve when compared to the Hubspot CRM or another competitor.

Salesforce is the pioneer but I feel there's better out there now for less

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, I think it's still one of the best CRM tools out there and if you require complex integration with other sources of data it may be your best bet

Pros

I love salesforce contact management user interface. It's very simple to use and the layout makes perfect sense. It's now integrated with so many external resources so it's simple yo find and enter new leads and contact all within the system.

Cons

The email tracking is still not as easy or neat as I've seen in CRM tools like HubSpot or Sugar CRM but. Integration is not as easier either many features require someone who is very technical

I have tried other tools, including Hubspot to use as a CRM and nothing compares to the functionality and reporting you receive from SFDC.

Pros

It is a great tool to track and analyze all sales and marketing data. It has plenty of customization and integrations available.

Cons

SFDC has a mind of its own, you need to know what you are doing if you are an administrator, however that doesn't mean you can't learn. Currently, not all functionality is available in Lightnighting (we use lightning and I keep being sent back to classic to fix some stuff).

One of those necessary evils

Reviewed 10 months ago

It's the best of a terrible product catagory--no such thing as a good CRM, but I would probably switch to hubspot if I had no budget or performance restrictions

Pros

It's the leader, been doing it as long as almost anyone--and being the most popular platform means it has a nice ecosystem of support content.

Cons

It requires the commnity of support and content that it has created. Too expensive in additional training and contractor costs to keep it an org value--if you have SF it's worth investing to get it fully workable--I would never onboard salesforce brand new at any company.

Expensive CRM that we have to use

Pros

My company is completely deep into the Salesforce ecosystem so we have to use SFDC. It works well but I much prefer HubSpot CRM. The Lightnining mode is better than the old mode.

Cons

Marketo doesn't work as well as I'd like with Salesforce. I wish that once we connected one integration we all could see it. Instead you have to be the user that installed the integration. Its a pain.

Salesforce is terrible for small teams

Reviewed 5 years ago

We were considering a CRM for our project and gave Salesforce a try. I really hope I won't need to interact with this product again, it's terrible. Went ahead with HubSpot and it's OK so far

Pros

Basically, I was betting on the rich functionality, but couldn't even get to it

Cons

It's extremely hard to figure out initially They immediately start spam-calling you after you signup, though they don't offer any useful materials, just want to learn more about you and put a value on the lead

Salesforce is the gold standard, but shop around

Reviewed 4 years ago

Salesforce is the gold standard which is honestly just sad. It isn't an innovative product and I hope Hubspot overtakes their market. With that being said, it is the best in an overly saturated market with too many CRM players/

Pros

Lightning UX is more user friendly than the classic version. All of the integrations are priceless and lead to a great workflow for your sales organization.

Cons

It is highly dependent on how your sales org sets it up and how they set it up is a make it or break it. You have to put a lot of resources to make it seamless for your sales org.

Pricy but worth it

Reviewed 5 years ago

Absolutely fantastic. I wish it was a little less expensive but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. Far superior to the other platforms in the CMS and marketing software industry.

Pros

The customer support is fantastic. The capabilities of this software from a marketing and CRM standpoint are the absolute best in class. The only software we have worked with that even gets close is Hubspot but even they cant do everything Salesforce can.

Cons

The only negative I can say about this software is that it knows its the best so they charge the most. There are different levels and ad ons that can really begin to rack up costs quickly. However, it is well worth the price. If you're in the market for a software that can solve all your problems do not be afraid to cough up the extra money for sales force and make sure to pay for the marketing side.

Great CRM but pricey

Reviewed 5 years ago

We were looking for a CRM to help with our sales process and outbound sales activity. We tried 5 CRMs and Sales Force was one of them. We ended up going with HubSpot since it had the best value and had all the features we needed.

Pros

SalesForce is the industry leader and has found the things that clients need and like. It is easy to use with a great interface. This CRM works as advertised and customer support is responsive.

Cons

The main issue with this CRM is its price tag. Sales Force is pricey and that outweighs in my opinion its benefits. There are a lot of CRMs to choose from now that function just as well. If you are a small business this CRM is not for you. There are other more affordable options that give you the same functionality.

Customizable, flexible, the sky is the limit with using this software

Reviewed 7 years ago

A flexible tool to manage my accounts and clients in a robust way. I can grow into the software as my company grows as well.

Pros

Salesforce lets you do anything. When you're working with a CRM like this, its easy to create a detailed and very real data point about each and every one of your clients. Salesforce allows me to link to my Hubspot account, and it works with a number of other CRM and marketing tools. The flexibility of this tool is virtually limitless. You get what you pay for, and salesforce is well worth it.

Cons

This software is TRULY robust, and with this robustness can come a very STEEP learning curve. Sometime I have to work closely with developers to troubleshoot some issues I'm having. I wish it were a little more intuitive and "plug and play". But this doesn't take away enough from the value of this tool, that it makes it not worth getting... get this software.

Nightmare for small businesses

Reviewed 8 years ago

We tried to use salesforce in our agency but it was far too clunky for a more basic SMB use case. It was as waste of $ and then we cancelled. We're now using the HubSpot CRM very very successfully and recommend checking that option out if you're an SMB.

Pros

It's highly customizable but that is also it's downfall for companies that do not have an internal development team.

Cons

CRM that does it all

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall, I have no qualms with Salesforce. Works great, integrates with pretty much everything, and has set itself apart. Great tool!

Pros

Obviously, Salesforce is the behemoth in the industry for a reason. Its functionality is second-to-none. It does it all! If your organization needs a solid CRM, this is the one... If your organization has a specialized need or something cheaper - Hubspot / Pipedrive, (and lots of others) are good to look into.

Cons

Honestly - I wasn't a major fan of the UI. But maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm a UI snob, or maybe I have bad taste, cause they're obviously doing something right!

Started off a bit rocky and went with another CRM... that didn't last long. The integration was iffy and portal wasn't user friendly. So, we switched to Salesforce. THE BEST. Works with Hubspot, is user friendly, can be accessed in so many different ways (mobile, desktop, email, etc.) Worth the investment

Way too much stuff and too complicated

Reviewed 7 years ago

Not many - it brings me headaches having to work with this software when the sales team uses it and I'm having to integrate with it while I do marketing.

Pros

It's very extensive and can do a lot of great things to help people organize their sales organizations. Salesforce, because they are the big giant CRM, will integrate with everyone.

Cons

Too complicated, expensive, not easy to use, UI is clunky and looks like it's stuck in the 1990's. Because of this complicated software, it makes it hard to get out of it once you are into the tool. If you want simplify things go with a simpler CRM for much cheaper - like HubSpot.

HubSpot for sales isn't ideal, but it works

Reviewed 5 years ago

The overall experience using Hubspot is alright, once you get past the (painful) learning period. It's really comfortable how smooth it is to collaborate with our marketing department, and I think the whole lead generation team in our company is quite happy with the platform. I personally, from the point of view of a salesperson, would prefer a salesforce type of solution over this, but I manage with it.

Pros

Email tracking is fluent, the collaboration between our marketing and sales departments work really smoothly on Hubspot.

Cons

I find Hubspot lacking a lot of key features for a sales department, the whole structure of contacts and companies is obviously directed to marketing departments instead of sales departments. I'm used to salesforce, and without a doubt would always pick salesforce over Hubspot due to the whole structure of information, accounts, contacts, lead funnels, pipes.. everything regarding the use of the tool strictly from a sales rep's or sales exec's point of view.

Overall- I would recommend!

Pros

Free version is great. Excellent customer service and sales team. Very helpful in resolving issues and answering question. Worlds easier than Salesforce.

Cons

Importing data is a little tedious but not too bad. I also didn’t love connecting my inbox to Hubspot - felt invasive.

HubSpot CRM

Simple CRM software that automatically tracks emails and leads, but lacks some bells & whistles

Reviewed 2 years ago

This is a strong legacy product offering that should integrate seamlessly into a sales and client management organization at a fair cost.

Pros

Easily the best integration about HubSpot as a CRM is its automatic contact creation and email tracking. As a CRM, it gets the job done and does have standard reporting and dashboards available for tracking. As a sales lead tool, it also provides the ability to track deals through the pipeline easily. Overall, it's a strong CRM offering for the price.

Cons

Data parsing is not quite as granular as some competitive products, particularly Salesforce, but this isn't problematic unless your organization specifically needs high levels of data breakdowns on sales.
