Reviewer scorecard
“API is well-documented and webhooks work reliably. Easy to integrate with any stack for transactional + marketing email.”
“SOQL, Apex, and Lightning components are a parallel universe of complexity. Only worth it if Salesforce is already mandated.”
“Pricing scales terribly. At 10k+ contacts, you're paying a premium for a UI when cheaper alternatives exist.”
“The Microsoft Office of CRM — everyone uses it, nobody loves it. Implementation costs dwarf license fees.”
“Template builder and drag-and-drop editor are intuitive. Customer journey builder makes automation accessible.”
“Einstein AI and the platform ecosystem ensure Salesforce stays relevant. Their acquisition strategy keeps them ahead.”
