We replaced several aging and otherwise poorly built systems with Salesforce as a single unified platform to run our nonprofit organization. It's defiantly been a huge part of enabling growth for our organization! Pros When my team asks if Salesforce can do it the answer is always YES! Salesforce is by far the most versatile tool we have in our technology stack! Cons The cost to maintain and continue to develop Salesforce is not insignificant, you definitely need to budget well and make sure you are willing to make the investment! Don't go halfway, always go all in! Switched from [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) Raiser's Edge was no longer meeting our needs and the cost to augment it to meet our needs was significant!

Pharmacist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform but there's room for improvement " January 18, 2026 4.0 Overall it's a very reliable platform, able to store and display tons of info, however, it would be much more efficient it it let each user customize what is displayed and have preset medical orders to limit typing. Pros I really like working in Salesforce platform due to its versatility and ability to access ample amount of information in the same tab. Cons I only wish it would be customizable and have the ability to easily limit the amount of information on one page to limit scrolling and clicking. Also it would be nice to include preset medical terminology and common medications names. Switched from [RingCentral Engage Voice](https://www.capterra.com/p/242187/RingCentral-Engage-Voice/) The team I work for decided to switch in order to streamline the workload. 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 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 Marc R. 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 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 CF Cameron F. Director Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for what you pay for " June 12, 2026 5.0 Overall the salesforce platform is good and is of the caliber of what you are paying for which can be high. Pros The Power of the simple use of using the salesforce platform and ability to use visuals are always a plus.

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.

I prefer it to the other one I had used at a previous employer. Overall it gets the job done. Pros Mostly easy to navigate and run reports. Wide range of customizations made it easy to use for sales, marketing and CS teams. Cons The UI could be more friendly.

Pros I love utilizing the campaigns and reporting features for marketing to understand attribution and ROI for various different marketing campaigns. The ability for sales to log and schedule calls and emails to leads and customers is another plus. Cons There was functionality in Salesforce Classic that was lost in upgrading to Salesforce Lightning; however, most of that was resolved and there is a help doc showing how to utilize the new systems. Review Source NS Nicki S. Manager, FPandA - Sales Compensation Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Navigation is a breeze" May 29, 2025 5.0 I was on the team that helped implement Salesforce as our primary sales CRM for multiple markets over a decade ago. For the last seven years, I have managed team that supports the sales team so we use it for researching accounts, activities and orders. Pros Navigation is seamless. I use SFDC navigation as the gold standard for other websites. Clicking on any link can take me to the related records - I wish more SaaS tools I use worked the same way. Cons The number of objects/tables can be a bit overwhelming when trying to build reports - this is partly just a learning curve issue, but it can be challenging to build a report without understand how all the objects connect.
