## Reviews

### "All in one data capture and collaboration tool" — 4.0/5

> **Rakesh** | *27 November 2024* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to view, filter cases and update accordingly. Automatically sends email when changes are made. Can track inventory, issues, cases, business opportunities all in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Heavy platform for some simple tasks. Also would be better if layout is simplified.
> 
> All in one data capture tool to collaborate between teams and regions in an organization.

-----

### "Great platform for information sharing" — 4.0/5

> **Jun** | *27 December 2024* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Outlook plug in was one of the best features by far, live updates instead of having to refresh browser
> 
> **Cons**: navigating the tabs and pages (individually having to close each tab)
> 
> Great resource for compiling and sharing information

-----

### "Seamless Platform" — 5.0/5

> **Chelsea** | *12 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how at both places I have used Salesforce, it is so customisable and adaptable to the organisational needs, it has customer data, sales, marketing but also a strong dashboard and pipeline tracker.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be tricky as there is so much room for customisation, sometimes features get lost and can be tricky to learn without a good trainer.
> 
> Salesforce has been a great platform for hosting our customer relationship data and running reports, we have found it tricky to integrate well and have a lack of great trainers to really push it to its potential. I know it can work as a seamless platform that integrates with emails and across all departments.

-----

### "A Great Tool for Client Tracking and Retention" — 5.0/5

> **Brandon** | *8 July 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My favorite part about SalesForce was how detailed the tracking was. From the initial contact with a client to the final sale and every step in between, SalesForce allows you to log everything in detail.
> 
> **Cons**: For many SalesForce has a bit of a learning curve. Any team member is able to edit certain details of tasks and customer information depending on the settings, making it intimidating for new users.
> 
> Overall, my organization found SalesForce adequate and efficient for a team of our size. It significantly increased our organization and ultimately drove client retention, providing us the most value through retargeted customers.

-----

### "Salesforce is a solid CRM" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *27 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mostly easy to navigate and run reports. Wide range of customizations made it easy to use for sales, marketing and CS teams.
> 
> **Cons**: The UI could be more friendly. The learning curve was rough for new employees but that went hand in hand with customizations.
> 
> It’s a good platform. I prefer it to the other one I had used at a previous employer. Overall it gets the job done.
