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.

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 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 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 YM Yahya M.

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 IL Ira L.

No need to be in an office, great for traveling to client onsite and connecting. Cons The product allows for ease of building custom reports, connecting third party applications, allows for scaling and easy to learn. Difficult to find a negative.

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 Gabriel K. Senior Marketing and Communications Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful and Flexible, but Heavy to Manage" January 27, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Salesforce has been mixed. It’s an incredibly powerful and flexible platform, but at the same time, it’s demanding. I don’t always enjoy using it day to day, but I recognize that in the right hands and with the right resources, it’s one of the most capable CRM platforms available. Pros Salesforce is incredibly powerful and flexible. If you need a CRM that can scale with your organization, handle complex data relationships, and adapt to highly customized workflows, it’s hard to beat. The ecosystem is massive, integrations are strong, and once things are configured correctly, it can support very sophisticated reporting, automation, and segmentation across teams. From a marketing and communications perspective, Salesforce shines when it comes to data depth. When structured well, it enables meaningful insights into audiences, journeys, and long-term engagement that simpler tools just can’t provide. Cons Salesforce is not intuitive, and it is not lightweight. The learning curve is steep, especially for users who are adjacent to admin work rather than full-time CRM specialists. Many tasks that feel like they should be simple require significant setup, technical knowledge, or ongoing maintenance. To get the most out of Salesforce, you need real investment—either in staff expertise, consultants, or both. Without that, it’s easy for the system to feel overwhelming, slow, or underutilized. The power is there, but it comes at the cost of time, complexity, and cognitive load. 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. Cons The cost of the salesforce platform can be hard to justify its use especially for non fortune 500 companies. Review Source LB Logan B. Owner Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Marketing and Sales Enablement Champs" January 13, 2026 4.0 Salesforce is an incredible tool for marketing managers who want to create and monitor campaigns to enable salespeople to work out deals. 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 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 SK Sagar K. Sales Mangaer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good tool if you know how to use it." November 5, 2025 4.0 It has been great so far, I've converted many and delineated even more to the team - the hierarchy for team workflows has only improved with Salesforce. Pros well, it is value for money - as far as I have seen in comparison with a few other platforms. Apart from that - it has really helped streamline the reporting and incident management in terms of new tickets that I create. Cons Maybe it's just the provision for my firm, but I see too many frequent updates - and it sometimes messes with my work - wherein the existing processes need to be updated as well - they could help give intimations beforehand any new updates are pushed to the production.
