"Salesforce is such a widespread software in terms of what it can do and its scope. Theoretically, you can run a whole company off of it.

"There could be an option to change the price list without creating a new quote.""The user interface could be better in Salesforce Sales Cloud because it feels a little heavy.""It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly. There is always way too much information going on in Salesforce. It puts too much on your screen. It gives you every piece of information in the world, whereas I need less. It would be nice for it to be cleaned up a bit.""The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market.""Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge.""The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for.""The solution's configuration could be improved because getting a purchase order and administrating the right fields can be a real headache for us, especially when the Sales Cloud system enters an error stage.""It is a bit pricey."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is challenging, which is particularly relevant for countries like Pakistan and others with limited budgets."
  • "The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
  • "The platform is expensive."
  • More Dynamics 365 Sales Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
