There are robust opportunity and pipeline tracking, reporting, and dashboards. Cons If there is any customization to be had, it feels like it costs a ton of money every single customization. Switched from [Lead Sherpa](https://www.capterra.com/p/231666/Lead-Sherpa/) We grew exponentially and this was the best way to manage contacts, activities, and pipeline. Review Source JC Jeffrey C. Enrollment Systems Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce for college recruitment and admissions" April 1, 2026 5.0 I've had a fantastic experience with Salesforce. I have been a Salesforce administrator since 2013, and I think it is a great platform. Pros Salesforce is a flexible platform, and I appreciate the ability to make customizations. Pages are completely customizable, and there are many options for automation. Also, the cloud service is extremely reliable and robust. Cons Data storage limits out of the box are restrictive, and the cost for additional storage is very high. Review Source DRS Daniel R. S. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very pricey for glitchy software" September 15, 2025 1.0 Salesforce is very pricey and their software is full of bugs. It made me look unprofessional and frustrated my business orocesses Pros I used Salesforce as both an autodialer for my business and as Client Management Software. I loved that I didn't have to dail 600 numbers manually and I had the customer information at my finger tips Cons The platform would freeze , I would make calls and a customer information from five calls ago would appear and the forms I used to collect information would receive 404 error messages when user would try to submit their answes Alternatives considered [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/)[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Reason for choosing Salesforce Sales Cloud We went with Salesforce because it was a company vote decision but I voted against it Review Source MW Marissa W. Senior Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Salesforce for B2B Software Sales" January 15, 2026 4.0 Since Salesforce is compatible with many different systems and integrates well, it makes day to day workflows and operations much easier. Pros It keeps all accounts organized and can be customizable to the company's reporting needs. This includes ownership, contact/account details, and pipeline management (activity, logging calls, etc.). Cons Some Salesforce instances can be very confusing and complex. My company is still working through system changes with an acquisition and I am working in two different Salesforce instances. One is simple. The other is confusing. Review Source Bill L. Vice President of Sales and Operations Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The good and bad about Salesforce " December 5, 2025 4.0 I think its solid if you have the budget and team to follow the need steps to capture and build the data or accounts Pros It centralizes customer data, giving our team a complete view of accounts and interactions for better relationship management. Cons If i am being honest the cost..it adds up quick and you have to watch extra fees. It also takes a bit to get use to...although i wouldnt say this is 100%con but ppl tend to give up mid point when things are not easy Switched from [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) Corporate decision and we had no choice to switch. Review Source RL Rico L. AE Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Positive review" April 15, 2026 5.0 Positive, easy to navigate solution which has a lot of features to help create a siloed workflow to the team. Pros Great tool to allow reporting, reviewing accounts and notes, whilst also tracking pipeline and deals. Cons There is not a fluid relationship between child and parent accounts, so it can create duplicates or crossovers. Review Source RG Ruby G. Patient Advocate Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We need salesforce!" February 18, 2026 4.0 We use this every day for multiple different things, and it’s helpful to be able to use it in so many different ways. I would maybe edit some things about it, but many of the issues we experience are just setup things that our IT team needs to fix. Overall it’s really helpful and not too hard to navigate. Pros I love the clean look and ease of use. There are a ton of different functions we use every day, and it makes it really nice to have it all consolidated into one interface. Cons Because it has so many features, it can be easy to get lost if you don’t know exactly what page you need to be using. Training on how we use it is critical, but once mastered, it’s not too bad. Review Source WD Will D. Associate Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool!" April 6, 2026 4.0 It has been a solid and satisfying experience, creating ease of use and manageable site interactions. Pros It has great continuity for the aspects of website hosting, creating a smooth flow for changes in structure. Cons It has many times where the data from the site and the input from the UX is not fluid and creates lag or extraneous prompts. Review Source JS Jack S. Finance Director Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Salesforce Sales Cloud" March 26, 2026 5.0 Salesforce Sales Cloud is a key tool for structuring sales tracking and improving visibility over the pipeline. Pros Opportunity and account management are very comprehensive. The tool integrates well within an already structured business environment. Cons Implementation can take time and often requires adjustments. Without well-organised data, the platform can quickly become complex to use on a daily basis. Review Source SS Sam S. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best CRM but also the most expensive" March 23, 2025 4.0 We have been happy with Salesforce but find it to be way to expensive and technical to utilize to its full utility. Pros It’s completely customizable and by far the most robust CRM out there. Cons It costs way too much for implementation and ongoing costs of maintenance. Alternatives considered [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Salesforce Sales Cloud They set us up with an implementation partner who was adamantly familiar with our industry. Switched from [Act!](https://www.capterra.com/p/175860/Act/) Act was like a glorified excel spreadsheet and we wanted to significantly improve our technology to ultimately sell more. Review Source Mai M. Managing Director Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Salesforce Cloud is a dream!" February 11, 2026 5.0 From implementation to adoption, I have had a truly positive experience with Sales Cloud. We recently switched to this platform and the transition has been seamless! Their customer support has been incredibly helpful! Pros I think the value for the spend and the ease of use are the biggest pros for me! I was admittedly nervous as I had never used the platform before and I was delighted to learn it was so user friendly! I picked it up and adopted it immediately! Cons In fullest candor, I haven't found any cons yet! I find it efficient, user friendly and the set up and implementation was a breeze! Review Source RT Roldan T. Data Entry Specialist Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Innovation" September 24, 2025 5.0 Words aren’t enough to express my satisfaction with this tool. It has truly exceeded my expectations. Magnifico! Pros Salesforce is definitely one of the best CRM tools out there. It makes it so much easier for us to communicate and stay connected with both our clients and potential customers. We also use it to create tickets, which helps us keep track of any issues or concerns they have. The interface is really user-friendly and straightforward, making it simple for anyone to use. Honestly, it’s totally worth the investment. Cons As I mentioned in my initial statement, this is by far one of the best CRM platforms, and I have nothing negative to say about it. It has everything I’ve been looking for in a CRM tool. Review Source AL Ashley L. Financial Planning Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Another slam dunk for Salesforce" June 9, 2025 5.0 Salesforce Sales Cloud is the enterprise standard for CRM—versatile, AI-powered, and fully customizable. While it demands investment in both cost and configuration, it offers unmatched visibility, automation, and control across the entire sales lifecycle. Pros Salesforce Sales Cloud is one of the world’s most widely adopted CRM platforms, purpose-built to help sales teams manage leads, close deals faster, forecast revenue accurately, and drive predictable growth. With deep customization capabilities, AI-driven insights, and seamless integration across the Salesforce ecosystem, Sales Cloud is the go-to solution for organizations looking to modernize and scale their sales operations. Cons Cost Structure: Pricing can grow quickly with added features, custom objects, and premium support. Total cost of ownership may exceed simpler CRMs. Setup & Customization Complexity: Powerful, but not always plug-and-play. Real value comes with proper architecture, admin support, or a Salesforce partner. Overhead for Small Teams: Small or early-stage sales teams may find it feature-heavy and resource-intensive unless tailored carefully. Review Source GT Grace T. Sales Representative Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consistently Great" August 20, 2025 5.0 Sales force is a fundamental part of my daily routine and the genesis engineering behind this software helps make my daily tasks easy. I especially love the user interface and logic-based organization. Pros Sales force is the top of the industry for obvious reasons. It helps track sales, leads and opportunities in clear, written and visual metrics. Cons Salesforce stores A LOT of information. I do not like large packets of information like Account or opportunities can all be deleted with a signal Delete so easily. Accidents can happen and I wish information was stored more securely. On the flip side of that, my other complaint about sales force is the Cache it requires and stores. I am often filling out 20+ cases/opportunities/accounts each day and each one is different, but Salesforce saves the information and suggests it for the next account. This feature is really helpful on my personal matters, but very annoying when it is applied to sales force. I am continually clearing my cache. Review Source Patrice C. Account Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Salesforce Sales Cloud Power Engine" August 12, 2025 5.0 Overall sales force is very beneficial it is a very powerful and comprehensive tool that would be streamline the overall sales process from beginning to end. Pros What I like about Salesforce Cloud effectiveness of leads to drive in prospects and potential clients. I have used the software for years and it is amazing because it is the gate keeper for storing leads and contacts that a business owner can use in their sales approach in order to increase their revenue of their organization significantly. It is user friendly if you do not use the platform for other heavy information to store. Cons The Salesforce Sales Cloud platform can be very expensive to be honest, but each organization needs to be very mindful on what they specifically would like Salesforce to do for them. It can be costly if you have too many things in your organization that you want to implement by using the Salesforce Sales Cloud platform. Being specific and tailoring your business needs is the key to reduce cost and be comfortable with your decisions as an organization. Review Source AS Alison S. Executive Sales manager Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data management wonder!" September 11, 2025 5.0 I really enjoyed using Salesforce and would recommend it to anyone with a Salesfoce or Marketing team that needs a database that works. Pros The ease of use along with the terrific user interface made working with Salesforce a breeze! It was intuitive and actually fun to use. The information in would produce valuable metrics to help me track my sales progress. Cons As a sales professional the things I liked least about using SAlesforce had nothing to do with the system itself. Our organization had required data points for us to fill daily, some of which were not as helpful for meaningful sales progress as others. Review Source Creed S. Director, Data Analytics Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce - It Does Everything!" July 25, 2025 5.0 I've been a Salesforce user for over 10 years. It is an extremely mature platform offering solid out of the box functionality as well as flexible customizations. And I love using Slack as well! I have a great deal of trust in the Salesforce platform. Pros Salesforce is a solid CRM and so much more. It's robust, reliable, and extremely customizable. I've seen it used in so many different ways, and I haven't been able to find any CRM that can do what Salesforce does. Additionally, Salesforce's object architecture and APIs are solid, probably the best I've ever used. Cons There isn't anything I can think of that I don't like about Salesforce. The product is great, and they offer outstanding support to our organization. Review Source LN Larry N. Customer Service Coordinator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce brings it all together!" April 29, 2025 4.0 We were able to bring almost all of our sales processes into Sales Cloud; legal/contracts, AR/PO's, scheduling, invoicing, marketing, etc. This has made the onboarding of new customers and employees so much easier. Now everyone follows the same process flow, and every vital piece of information is collected and made accessible to team members. Pros The ability to attach customer communication (emails, Live Chat transcripts, incoming/outgoing voice) to a contact, opportunity, or account record. All customer communication is available for everyone to see. Document storage for the sales processes and marketing keeps everything in one place. No more secret files or notepads storing vital customer information. Also, the ability to define and insert our processes into Salesforce has gotten our team, veteran and rookies, on the same page. Cons Implementation costs are on the high side. This has kept us from purchasing additional products. Review Source KT Katie T. Development and Marketing Assistant Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affordable but More Functionality Than Necessary" April 14, 2025 4.0 Overall Salesforce was an affordable option for a solid piece of software to keep track of our stakeholders. All the staff learned the bare minimum of Salesforce pretty easily, but there was a lot more that many of us didn’t even try to learn because it was more involved than necessary for our purposes. Pros Salesforce was a great tool for keeping track of our constituents at the nonprofit I worked at. We had many stakeholders with different rolls so being able to categorize them accordingly in Salesforce was key. Cons We had trouble getting Salesforce to “talk” to some of our other software such as Mail Chimp for our email campaigns. Anytime we updated someone’s profile in Salesforce it was difficult to get those updates into Mail Chimp. We were a nonprofit so we weren’t exactly using Salesforce for actual sales so some of the features just didn’t quite hit for us. Review Source BS Brooke S. Sales Representative Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce Sales Cloud is a state-of-the-art tool for streamlining sales." April 2, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud has been very productive and we have experienced its impacts on our sales. Since we started using Salesforce Sales Cloud, our sales operations has been flowing much smoothly and we have been able to close more deals quickly than before. With Salesforce Sales Cloud, we have gained better control over our sales activities. Pros Salesforce Sales Cloud offers exceptional sales analytics that offers us precise insights to streamline our sales. Its customers engagement features enable us to have clear communications with our customers during sales. The Salesforce Sales Cloud reporting features offers us a clear view on our sales performances. Salesforce Sales Cloud offers market analytics that help us to accurately forecast our sales based on the market changes. Cons Salesforce Sales Cloud has not failed to comply with any of our expectations. We have not had any complaints towards it.

January 15, 2026 5.0 Salesforce its of great value for our company and keeps me organized and it helps me to not forget what I am pending to do. Pros I love salesforce because it lets me keep myself organized. It is easy to use and its user interface its manageable for someone who has never used it before. My company sets it up to our needs and wants to keep a great workflow! Cons The only thing I do not like is that sometimes me and my coworkers can't see if we are grabbing the case at the same time. Review Source MC Milena C. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and common CRM" November 10, 2025 4.0 Overall Salesforce is a great tool as it is a common CRM for businesses so it is easy to find information and be able to use and integrate with things. Pros Salesforce is a detailed customer management system. The information that can be kept and tracked is vast and is easy to manage. Cons Costly to have especially for a small business if you do the full version of Salesforce and costly to work with customer support.

Pros Salesforce is a power tool that we rely on highly to help our Salesforce in the field and also in the office. Cons The only thing I least like about Salesforce Sales Cloud is the AI feature.
