Dislike

If you are a fast paced business and require quick support you can often feel like you are not a priority. This can create tension between account management and the client. The support team are global and work on all Salesforce products so you often have to be very specific around your business, use case, unique system set up and the software you are using to get the right answer to your query.

    Integration Success With APIs, Yet Salesforce CRM Remains Complex and Pricey

    4.0
    Sep 1, 2025
    It's good for creating personalised marketing campaigns for the organisation. Creation of Global business units and regional business units has helped in better segregation of data. Salesforce CRM has integrated seamlessly with other platforms like ON24. It takes time to fine-tune it to the organisation's needs. Also, the API integrations has worked well so far. SMC is a mammoth tool. Lot of further improvements can be done.
