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 LW Lillian W. Sr Analyst, Commissions Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong CRM Functionality with Minor Technical Constraints" February 12, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud 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 Review Source YB YURI B. Accounting Sales Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. 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 ZR Zane R. Office Coordintator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Relationship manager Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love salesforce" February 8, 2026 5.0 Love it Easy to Use and understand. Helpful staff if there are issues using the system. Helpful Pros Excellent to work with very easy to navigate and many tutorials if you don’t understand something well Cons Sometimes slightly slow when trying to move fast through the system. Will some have to reset but not often Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Sales and Marketing Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Run Your Entire Business on Salesforce- Sales Cloud + Salesforce App Exchange" March 3, 2026 5.0 Pros Salesforce is the most powerful CRM in the world. I can't believe the levels of customization, configuration, automation, and now AI. If you set this up right, you can manage your entire business with Salesforce and Salesforce App Exchange Products. Cons I often hear from Salesforce users that the UI design is rather bland. However, when I use Salesforce App Exchange apps- they are often customized and have really sleek interfaces. I recently switched my view to Salesforce Lightning for Sales Cloud and that is definitely an improvement. 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 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 Jim C.

Pros It makes me easy to set up issue tracking form for our customer to create ticket and tracking it. I can also integrate it with my internal bug tracking system. Cons Still need some training to modify process, such as hard/soft consult, escalation process and cases routing rule. 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 Scott B. Head of Sales Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Salesforce Sales Cloud 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. Review Source SC Shabrian C. Admin Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Salesforce Sales Cloud 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 Review Source JK James K.

Client Services Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Salesforce in Tech" August 19, 2025 4.0 My experience with salesforce is decent. You only get out of it what you literally put into it. It’s your data source, so keep it updated. Pros You can customize salesforce to be how you want to be. Any fields or information you’d like to see on the pages, named whatever you like! Then you can easily report on these fields. Cons The set up is a nightmare. From talking to colleagues of mine, most of the time you need to hire a salesforce consultant to help….. we hired one on staff to make changes on the fly. Review Source JS Jake S.
