Salesforce Reviews: What To Look for and Why Thousands Choose Salesforce CRM

Businesses of all sizes, from startups and small businesses to medium-sized organisations and leading international corporations, know what the right CRM (customer relationship management) can do to maximise and grow your customer-focused operations. CRM and contact management are the proven way to increase productivity and drive results.

But how do you choose the right CRM for your organisation? A quick glance at CRM software review sites show why Salesforce is the #1 CRM for businesses of all sizes.

Salesforce is the undisputed CRM market leader, consistently ranked the #1 CRM by IDC.

Salesforce brings companies and customers together. The near-endless customisation, extendability, and scalability of the Salesforce Platform make it a great tool for businesses of all sizes. That said, this blog post is a great primer on specific ways Salesforce brings companies and customers together across sales, marketing, service and all the rest of a company’s departments.

With product offerings tailored to entrepreneurs, small and medium size businesses (SMBs), and larger organisations, Salesforce technology is built to support the way you work now, and to scale as your business grows. Salesforce reviews from customers across all industries and business sizes are a great place to learn first-hand what our solutions can do.

As you research CRM solutions for your business, keep these questions in mind. They represent common concerns customers of all sizes use to evaluate Salesforce solutions against the competition:

When it comes to trusting your business data to the hands of a software or services provider, safety should be priority number one. Trust is Salesforce’s #1 value and ensuring the safety of customer data is one of the biggest ways we earn that trust. Look for mentions of data security and safety when browsing Salesforce reviews.

We put a lot of value in these five: innovation, platform, productivity, mobility, and community. As you research Salesforce reviews, ask yourself if the competition can compete across all five areas.

Comparison shopping is a great way to see how different CRM solutions compare directly to one another in terms of features, benefits and deficiencies. We did a little comparison shopping of our own to see how Salesforce stacks up to the competition — you can use our overview as a guide when doing your own research. In a nutshell, scalability, customisations, reporting and analytics, community, and trust are key areas where we think Salesforce really rises above our competitors
