Overview

Product Information on Salesforce Chatter

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Salesforce Chatter?

Salesforce Chatter is a software that facilitates enterprise social networking and collaboration among users within an organization. The software enables employees to share information, documents, and updates in real time through feeds, groups, and user profiles. Integrated with Salesforce platform, it supports communication across departments and teams, allowing users to follow objects such as accounts, opportunities, and projects for notifications and activity tracking. It addresses business problems related to siloed information and collaboration by providing centralized messaging, file sharing, and visibility into organizational activities to improve productivity and information flow.

Salesforce Chatter Pricing

Salesforce Chatter software utilizes a per user per month subscription pricing model, with variations depending on selected features and integrations. Different editions offer access to collaboration tools, file sharing, and social networking functionality within the Salesforce environment. The pricing structure is tiered to accommodate organizational size and specific communication requirements.

“The future of business collaboration looking long in the tooth when the future arrived.”

2.0
Mar 1, 2023
At one point Chatter felt like the future of workplace collaboration, just needing a brave push, some critical mass, where businesses would drop email and finally think about collaborating in a much more contextual fashion. Unfortunately, when that moment arrived with the Pandemic, the product was so under-nourished that it simply wilted in the face of its competitors and even faced its own competition in the form of Salesforce's Slack. It's hard to see where the future of Chatter lies. Will it be retired in favour of a Slack powered engine? Will it just stay as it is forever and be a limited form of company communication.

Salesforce Chatter Likes & Dislikes

Like

Real-time communication updates in one central place Attach files

Like

In the past, I loved how commentary, collaboration all existed with the records on Salesforce. Instead of digging through emails to see what has happened on a particular account or case, you've got contextual history right there in front of you. That is clever, that is useful. Also, it is baked into the platform. No need to provide a business case or deal with a tricky integration.

Like

Automated messaging that collects information vital to the conversation.

Dislike

It can be a challenge to keep track of multiple chatter posts on one case

Dislike

Frankly, as a workplace collaborative tool, it pales in comparison to all the others. Everybody has moved onto Microsoft Teams - which has a huge advantage as an incumbent software provider with just about everybody running Office365. What it can do is pretty limited, and it just feels old to use now. When surfaced into a Salesforce Community, again - it gets you looking at other vendors who can do that one particular thing well. Chatter can also get quite messy. With field tracking, record updates... anything pertinent can just get lost in the noise. I find the much leaner Activity timeline much better.

Dislike

- Crashes rarely but without notice - Time consuming to set up - Chatting multiple people is a bit difficult

    Chatter is a really good tool for the squad's communication. We are gradually changing our internal communication tools to Chatter. Is easier for the user and easier for the admin, because of the information are all in the same local. The difficulty is to change the mindset for the users.
