“There is no duplicate message if the information is entered twice so can easily confuse during a call or resolving a ticket where you only have minutes to solve a client issue, we had moments when the system was down during peak season and that was very frustrating .“

### "Sales force user review"

May 12, 2025

4.0

Overall I'm very happy with the product itself however with better training can get a lot more out of its

Pros

Overall I like the ability to access all my customer data sales rep information from my PC or from my phone to track opportunities and lead progress

Cons

Configuring some of the dashboards and getting the reports right took a little bit but overall once that's done it's very beneficial

### "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

### "Salesforce unifies teams"

April 17, 2026

5.0

I used the platform every day for 2 years, managing a huge team of covid contact tracers under DPH funding for Massachusetts. I was able to learn the program after a few trainings and with continued learning and support. It was easy to use for someone who had never used it before.

Pros

I used this platform from 2020-2022 when overseeing the DPH funding for covid contact tracing and community support. The communication channels offered a seamless opportunity to collaborate among the large team in Massachusetts, and user interface is critical for ease of use with multiple employees logging in and out throughout projects. I was able to be on the platform all day, often utilizing customer support as systems updated often.

Cons

I recall utilizing customer support often, as sometimes the system would not load, not update or require us to log off and back on often. However, I will say that at the end of the day, the system allowed us seamless communication, clients data, staff workflows were easy to generate and notes were always secured and easy to access.

### "Accounting/ Sales"

March 12, 2026

3.0

I really did not like using the system. It was a bit much and then it didn't integrate with our accounting software, so we input stuff multiple times.

Pros

The pros of Salesforce was that the customer service is good and they answer pretty quick. If you have a problem they are ready to help.

Cons

The Cons with this program for me was that it was too much. It's not as easy to use, it has a lot of functions that it becomes overwhelming.

### "Organize for success"

February 20, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with is nothing short of amazing! The organization it brings to my daily business is a blessing!

Pros

The best thing about as a salesperson is the ability to neatly and conveniently organize my book of business for success and growth!

Cons

The only thing I would add onto would be an AI assistant. However Salesforce Sales Cloud has a plethora of tools for success still!

### "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

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.

### "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.

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.

### "Salesforce Sales Cloud"

March 26, 2026

5.0

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.

### "Strong CRM Functionality with Minor Technical Constraints"

February 12, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with has been positive. It provides strong end-to-end visibility into customer information and the entire sales lifecycle, which makes it easy to track activity from initial contact through close. I also value its ability to integrate with other applications and systems, enabling more streamlined workflows across tools. The reporting and dashboard functionality is particularly powerful—highly customizable and flexible enough to support a wide range of business metrics and analysis needs. That said, there are some limitations around formula fields and complex calculations. When referencing other formula fields or building longer logic scripts, the constraints can make certain metrics difficult to implement directly in Salesforce, requiring some calculations to be handled outside the system. Overall, however, it is a robust and scalable platform that effectively supports sales operations and reporting.

Pros

\- Keep track of all the customer information and sales motion from start to finish - Ability to integrate with other apps or programs - Ability to generate report and dashboard and highly customizable

Cons

Unable to use formula if the referencing field is also formulated, or the formula / script gets really long, so some metrics have to be calculated outside of Salesforce

### "Salesforce for global sales organizations"

February 13, 2026

4.0

It’s the gold standard for a reason. If you have the budget and the team to manage it, there is no better tool for scaling a global sales organization.

Pros

Salesforce is the ultimate "single source of truth." The depth of customization is unmatched; we’ve been able to build complex workflows and custom objects that fit our specific sales cycle perfectly. The reporting and dashboard capabilities provide real-time insights that are crucial for our sales team. I use Salesforce every single day

Cons

The learning curve is incredibly steep. It’s not something you can just "pick up" in a day—you almost certainly need a dedicated admin to keep things running smoothly.

### "A powerful tool with strong customisability that is one of its biggest strengths and issues"

February 12, 2026

4.0

It is a incredibly powerful tool that has allowed us to greatly improve our workflows. We have faced a number of issues that have stemmed more from not understanding how difficult changing things after the implementation was. We have benefited greatly from its vast level of integrations with external programs that allow us to complete all tasks that we want while having it act as a single source of truth

Pros

Using the not-for-profit discount has allowed us to receive 10 free licenses marking great value for money. It is also a highly customisable tool and while it is easy to use, there is plenty of functionality that can be changed and added behind the scenes to allow it to do exactly what you want

Cons

The customisability of the tool itself is great pro but it can also cause issues once you have finished your setup, particularly if you integrate third party apps from the app exchange. One thing to be aware of is the extreme difficulty in making larger changes once you have completed your setup. The user interface for some things such as email templates and forms is not the most friendly and is fairly bare bones

### "New business opportunities"

October 7, 2025

5.0

It reduced the entire sales cycle from repetitive tasks to being able to automate them and improve collaboration by sharing information through the cloud. It makes everything faster and more secure.

Pros

Saleforce's approach has allowed me to optimize processes to close deals faster and build closer relationships with clients. The processes that can be performed through this platform centralize all information, allowing for more sales opportunities with follow-up negotiations. It has a complete integration of marketing, e-commerce, and customer service, making my work more flexible. Its functions are necessary to adapt them to my daily work.

Cons

Its operation has been perfect. The only thing I've noticed throughout my time using Salesforce is that its training is very extensive and can be boring at times with so much information.

### "Salesforce is the best CRM "

August 8, 2025

5.0

I've had a great experience working with Salesforce at three different companies. I especially like the reporting for all KPIs and attainment metrics.

Pros

is an incredibly powerful CRM that can scale with virtually any business size. The customization options are unmatched - you can tailor workflows, dashboards, and automation to fit your exact sales process. Its reporting and analytics capabilities provide deep insights into pipeline health, rep performance, and forecasting accuracy. The integration ecosystem is massive, making it easy to connect with marketing automation, customer service, and countless third-party apps.

Cons

Pricing is on the higher end, and many of the most useful features are locked behind additional paid add-ons.

### "Sales Cloud Stan"

December 26, 2025

5.0

Overall, Sales Clouds meets the needs of our company at a great price. The setup of a sales process is seamless. Debugging and identifying bugs is simple with the logs. Very happy with the product.

Pros

My favorite thing about is the ability to customize it to the most intricate sales processes. Customer service is great - very responsive and reach out promptly. The setup is fairly easy and I love the user interface of the lightning experience.

Cons

Some aspects of Salesforce aren't so customizable like account plans, but I'd like to think with future updates there will be more wiggle room. I'd love if the custom buttons allowed a small popup window in the screen like the options on the creation page suggests it does. It would also be nice to be able to use dynamic url filters on dashboards

### "Following up on all possible reservations."

January 29, 2026

5.0

Guest relationship management is a task demanding potent tools. I am tracking leads through this platform. It is powerful but seems to be an overkill to a small tourism firm.

Pros

The communication channels enable us to monitor all the interaction with each and every guest whether it be through email or phone without any inquiry being lost in the busy season.

Cons

The creation of the set-up was extremely complicated and demanded the use of costly consultants to tailor the page generation tools to our booking process.

### "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.

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.

August 4, 2025

5.0

Sales Cloud has been such a vital tool in our company's success. We've been able to add functionality on both the sales and vendor side that have made us more successsful.

Pros

Sales Cloud is remarkably scalable and flexible. As our business grew, we were able to adapt it accommodate additional features and fields we could only have known about through growing the program.

Cons

There are so many subtle and specific features that can be overwhelming to end users. It's important to have an administrator that is empathetic and in communication with their end users so that Sales Cloud is deployed in a way that does not interrupt daily operations and hinder desired growth.

Overall, has been a reliable and robust CRM that has improved visibility into our sales pipeline and helped streamline processes across departments. While it does come with a learning curve and a higher price point, the value it delivers in terms of efficiency and data-driven decision-making has been worth it.

I especially like the reporting and dashboard features, which make it easy to track KPIs and forecast sales. The integrations with other tools like Outlook and marketing platforms are also very helpful.
