I see room for improvement regarding financial operations and FinOps. If they are not being controlled correctly, Salesforce billings can get huge. They charge for everything: license costs, storage costs, and transaction costs, and it can really end up blowing budgets if it is not controlled. Those controls should be something that is easy to manage. With Salesforce, it is pretty difficult to manage unless you are a very advanced user. Normal regular users may not be able to keep the costs in control. This ends up resulting in bill shocks where you suddenly receive a bill which you may not be expecting.

The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall. For example, I recently implemented Identity for a fashion brand in Canada. They were using GitGuard before. From my experience, I saw a lot of complexities with GitGuard, especially when developing core integrations. Salesforce Identity was much easier. We replaced it in a month which took them six months to build. It saves time, and it's very secure. You need permissions for any operation, and data is protected when switching between apps. Salesforce Identity supports compliance with data protection and privacy regulations. Salesforce adheres to the data privacy regulations of each region. The data is always encrypted, and their security is very strong. Even with access, you can't break into the system due to their security settings. It definitely obeys regulations regarding data security.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Dec 30, 2025

Valuable Features

Valuable features of Salesforce Identity include intuitive user experience and comprehensive platform integration. It enables pipeline management and facilitates quick communication with management. It offers seamless lifecycle management from lead generation to post-sale support. Users benefit from its user-friendly interface and ample training resources. It significantly enhances security and compliance for organizations.

"The best features of Salesforce Platform that I appreciate are that it is very configurable and easy for both developers as well as customers to use."
"The solution is very easy to understand."
"The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall."

Room for Improvement

Salesforce Identity is criticized for its complex interface and dashboard, requiring extensive training. Users desire a simplified layout with a single comprehensive dashboard. Integration of AI for marketing activities is a sought-after feature. The system’s usability relies heavily on technical expertise, and a preference for a plug-and-play setup is expressed. Customer support does not consistently meet expectations. Performance is noted as slow, which affects efficiency.

"The product is slow."
"Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person."
"Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application."

Pricing

"I'd recommend Salesforce for larger products where you really need a robust CRM. It's expensive, so for smaller websites or products, it might not be the most cost-effective solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a very low price and ten is a very high price, I rate Salesforce Identity's pricing a six out of ten."

Popular Use Cases

Salesforce Identity is used by companies to facilitate communication during pipeline management, support e-commerce platforms expanding across multiple locations, and register customers efficiently. It functions as an identity provider to centralize user authentication for portals on different technologies, aiding fashion brands and various B2C businesses. Additionally, organizations handle network-related cases using Salesforce Identity.

Deployment

Salesforce Identity's initial setup is cloud-based and straightforward. Many found installation easy, backed by strong support from the company, experiencing no issues. Setup is not seen as complex, requiring roughly 15 minutes for deployment. Users appreciate the use of Salesforce's dedicated cloud platform.
