Digital Media Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust Platform Essential for Organizations " May 15, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with the Salesforce Platform has been very strong, particularly in terms of its depth and ability to support complex, organization-wide needs. It’s a highly capable system that goes far beyond basic CRM functionality, allowing teams to manage relationships, automate processes, and centralize data in a way that supports both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy. Pros What stands out most about the Salesforce Platform is its powerful customization and scalability. It allows organizations to tailor nearly every aspect of the system to fit their specific workflows, whether that’s through custom objects, automation tools like Flow, or deeper development with Apex and Lightning components. This flexibility makes it incredibly valuable for organizations that need a solution that can evolve alongside their operations. Cons One of the main drawbacks of the Salesforce Platform is its complexity and steep learning curve. While its customization capabilities are a strength, they can also make the platform overwhelming, especially for new users or teams without dedicated admin or developer support. Navigating the interface and fully leveraging its features often requires significant training and experience. Review Source TH Tyler H. Sales Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce makes life simple " December 3, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with salesforce was very positive. I could only think of one major issue I had with the product. Pros I used salesforce in conjunction with SunRun, the platform was super smooth to use and train reps to use as well. It really made my job a LOT easier. Cons The only major issue I ever had with salesforce was loading times. I could be waiting for a few minutes at times just to load the next page. Switched from [Solo](https://www.capterra.com/p/265186/Solo/) More automation and ease of use made the switch a no brainer. Review Source MO Makenna O. Branch Office Administrator Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kenna’s Salesforce Review " April 17, 2025 3.0 Overall, it’s a user friendly system. It has many features that help me in my workday and getting tasks done, and it has features that help me connect better with clients. Pros It’s bright and friendly to look at. I can personalize it to best fit my workday needs. There are different calendar views, where I might miss something on the calendar, I might catch on the day at a glance. It’s nice being able to bounce back and forth between coworkers tasks in case I need to make a quick change. I also love the interaction note spot! It keeps the main description clean and easy to decipher. Cons There is a lot going on. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming because there are multiple ways to get to the same thing. I would like there to be an option to mark an appointment as “rescheduled” instead of just “canceled”. My opened tabs in salesforce often glitch and change the tabs I have opened to a different tab. For example, if my “home” tab is open, it’ll glitch and change it to my “calendar” tab. Review Source Jean B. Financial Operations Specialist Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful Search and Case Validation Tool with a Dense User Interface" July 4, 2026 4.0 My overall experience has been very good. It is a highly robust solution for specialized case management and financial chats. Even though the interface is complex and dense with information, its searching power and data centralization successfully streamline our daily operational tasks. Pros It makes searching for specific cases and customer profiles incredibly fast and efficient. What I value the most is that when I am validating a financial case, the platform displays absolutely all the related historical data and information on a single screen, which saves a lot of time during Level 2 support analysis. Cons The system requires completing a massive amount of fields and information for each record, which can be exhausting under pressure. Additionally, the user interface is visually overloaded because it possesses too many menus and options on the screen, creating a steep learning curve for newer agents. Review Source Pepukai Loyd C. Snr AR Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great CRM Software" May 13, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with the Salesforce Platform has been extremely positive. What stands out the most is the reliability and continuous innovation that Salesforce consistently delivers. The platform is constantly evolving with new features, enhancements, and integrations that help businesses stay ahead without needing to completely reinvent their systems. Another major strength is the excellent customer support and community ecosystem. Whenever issues arise or guidance is needed, Salesforce provides responsive support along with a vast knowledge base, active community forums, and detailed documentation. This makes troubleshooting and learning much more efficient. Pros Support is awesome, the platform is user friendly, easy to learn and has modern features expected of modern software. Cons Nothing really. There is room for improvement in some aspects but it is generally good and efficient. Review Source YM Yahya M. Admin RD Consulting Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Invest a lot, get a lot" November 17, 2025 3.0 Overall, the out of box experience is pretty simple and it has a great ability to scale to meet needs and exceed project management expectations. This comes with a high-learning curve and investment into the platform over the ability and ease to transfer to other platforms Pros Established solution with security, customer support channels and near unlimited versatility for customizing features and development flows. Cons Value depends as features add up, code updates could be more seamless and rely on custom solutions with limitations out of the box. Alternatives considered [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Salesforce Platform Salesforce comes highly recommended for the added versatility in customizing features Review Source CL Clarice L. Human Resources Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good security platform." August 3, 2026 4.0 Our overall experience with Salesforce Platform has been very satisfactory. There are minimal bugs and issues to fix. Deployment was easy and customer service is good. Overall, it is a great value for the money. Pros What we like most about the Salesforce Platform is how convenient it is to use for our employees who are mobile. The automation is also user friendly. Cons What we like least about the Salesforce Platform is the time it gives you before the security numbers regenerate. The code updates very quickly. Review Source BB Blake B. Field Inspector Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sales force review! " July 7, 2026 4.0 Overall I do enjoy all the data salesforce outputs. It’s crazy, you can have so many different graphs, outlines and etc. in a second. Pros The security of programming, and two way authentication. It makes me feel secure and my information and customer info is safe. Cons A lot of different steps to get to ultimately get to the same place. They could streamline it a little better, make it not so confusing to use as a new beginners.

Underfloor heating advisor Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect solution" July 21, 2026 5.0 Salesforce Platform has met our needs well, providing a reliable, flexible solution for managing data, automating processes, and supporting organisational growth. Pros Powerful automation, flexible customisation, excellent reporting, and a scalable platform that adapts to complex organisational needs. Cons High cost, a steep learning curve, and some advanced features require significant setup and ongoing administration. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Solution Deployment Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Salesforce as a central CRM" August 14, 2026 4.0 Pros It's very powerful and versatile, and connect with all the needed external tools for a comprehensive usage. Cons Old looking design feel cluttered and not always easy to navigate, not the most user-friendly interface. Review Source DC Darby C. Account Executive Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great CRM Platform" November 24, 2025 5.0 Oveall experience has been great. Salesforce is the backbone of most of what we do and it is a tool that we could not do business without. Pros Salesforce gets a lot of hate, but at the end of the day, it is a great platform with loads of functionality, and it is customizable to just about any organization. It is easy for us to make adjustments when we need to and seldom need help from their customer support folks. It allows us to manage nearly our entire business and connects to most of the auxillary apps and products we need to manage all of our other projects. Cons Like any software platform, it can be frustrating at times, especially if you don't know how to do something. But at the end of the day, we have internal folks who know the platform very well and Salesforce is great with pushing out updates to make sure everything generally runs smoothly. It is easy for our team to develop to and is a great value for the money in my opinion. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Salesforce Product Owner Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product " August 27, 2025 5.0 Pros Fully customizable, has built in features for sales, and service. Is able to integrate with third party platforms as well Cons The implementation can be tedious, it’s only as good as the data that goes into it, and as refined as the company’s workflows are. Review Source CG Chelsea G. Engagement Officer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seamless Platform" June 12, 2025 5.0 Salesforce has been a great platform for hosting our customer relationship data and running reports, we have found it tricky to integrate well and have a lack of great trainers to really push it to its potential. I know it can work as a seamless platform that integrates with emails and across all departments. Pros I like how at both places I have used Salesforce, it is so customisable and adaptable to the organisational needs, it has customer data, sales, marketing but also a strong dashboard and pipeline tracker. Cons It can be tricky as there is so much room for customisation, sometimes features get lost and can be tricky to learn without a good trainer. Review Source AW Amy W. Collections Analyst Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce is ok" June 24, 2025 4.0 Its been a hard road and many fixes but it basically does what it is supposed to. Too much money to have to add to a system that should already work. Pros Has many functions available to use. Everything combined can be used for your invocing and accounting systems. Cons Have to go multiple places and fix multiple things for salesforce to work for you. For example to print an invoice you have to go to four different places just to print. Every time it updates, it drops something else that was working. Switched from [Total Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/116971/Total-Management/) Organizational decision. Sales got my boss.

June 16, 2025 5.0 I've used Salesforce at four different companies, in three different industries and three different roles. It has always been a top notch platform to use! Pros Salesforce makes staying on track with client follow up extremely efficient and seamless! It's also easily trackable! I also love that just any user can't manipulate it and Salesforce truly tracks when things are done in the system, down to the exact time! Cons I personally don't see any cons with Salesforce. However, when I've seen Salespeople lie about their follow up, Salesforce will bring them out of the dark and into the light!!! Review Source EB Eric B. Sr. Salesforce Administrator Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce platform is the best CRM on the market" April 14, 2025 5.0 I've been using it for over 15 years and have enjoyed every aspect of it. It's a vast landscape of opportunities and continues to grow. Pros It's easy to setup, easy to use, and highly customizable to suit any business need. I love the Salesforce community and it's desire to help each other grow and develop. Cons This is an expensive product and there are times when it may be overkill for some business users. There needs to a real evaluation before purchasing. Review Source cC cody C. CSR Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce means business" June 6, 2025 5.0 I have been using salesforce since 2019 and I have to say that this program is universal meaning you can have the same experience from client to client. Pros Salesforce allows my company to help provide the most efficient way to work with our customers. Salesforce is a wonderful program. Cons Salesforce can have many different ways to locate information and can take some time to adjust to, however as a positive. You can also store information on how to look at what you need such as SOPS. Review Source RT Ruki T. Sr. Sales Enablement Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Platform with endless options" March 25, 2025 5.0 Pros The capabilities of Salesforce are unmatched in terms of the infinite number of tools that can be integrated, the customization flexibility, and the ability to create a variety of reports. Cons It's a bit clunky and reports can take a while to load, especially if it includes a great amount of data. Review Source DN Davida N.

February 3, 2025 5.0 Overall, the Salesforce Platform offers a cohesive engine for customer relationship management (CRM) that makes it effective and a valuable resource. I still have a lot to learn about the platform, but I can say that long term it will make my job a lot easier. Pros The biggest pro about the Salesforce Platform is its centralized data management system. All of the features are easy to utilize and accessible for the client. Cons I would say the cost for the Salesforce Platform can be a barrier, particularly for smaller companies and startups. Review Source MC Michelle C. Contact Centre Agent Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Salesforce Review" November 21, 2024 5.0 I love salesforce and the ease of info tracking and email sending. It is reliable and always has accurate information. Salesforce has many uses. Pros It is easy to keep track of tasks, leads, opps etc I love how we can open multiple pages on one page and we do not have to open a different tab. Cons How it signs out after a while, but this is okay it is one click to sign back in. Review Source JG Jonathan G. Co-Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The absolute best - and you pay for it" September 4, 2024 4.0 We were able to utilize SF to manage our CRM, setup drip funnel campaigns, ebb and flow of lead from start to close (and track every person that touched the lead for evaluation purposes). Pros Completely customizable to the company/business needs. Incredibly powerful tech to automate nearly every marketing channel in a large scale business. Once its built out, you'll never need another marketing tech product. Cons Very robust and is priced as such. Not a great solution for small-to-medium sized businesses.
