Data 360 Governance: Protecting Your Data in the Agentic Landscape

Harmonize Processes and Data FAQs

Salesforce Data 360 (formerly known as Data Cloud) is the real-time data engine that powers the entire Salesforce platform. It unifies fragmented data from every source — including external data lakes, websites, and legacy systems — into a single, trusted "Customer 360" profile. It enables consumer goods companies to get data agent-ready, unify customer profiles, surface actionable insights, and automate complex supply chain workflows, all on a single trusted platform.

The pricing model remains a flexible, consumption-based approach centered around: 

1) Consumption Credits, 

2) Data Storage, and 

3) Premium Add-ons. 

We have simplified our credit system to offer even more flexibility and transparency.

Data 360 allows you to ingest virtually any data source to activate data-driven decision making and a robust data strategy. Seamlessly connect your CRM apps, like Sales and Service Cloud, using Salesforce connectors. Leverage out-of-the-box connectors with common third-party sources, including Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. Take advantage of our zero copy integrations to pull in data from your existing Data Lakes and Warehouses, like Snowflake and Data Bricks, without duplicating data. And for everything else you can connect using SDKs and APIs.

Tableau Next surfaces actionable insights from field data to maximize in-store revenue, optimize route planning for sales reps, and measure consumer sentiment by brand and product. Disconnected data today is costing companies 6% of total revenue in out-of-stocks and causing 66% of customers to switch brands — Tableau Next closes that gap.

Agentforce Operations digitizes and automates complex back-office workflows — like supplier quoting, warranty claims, and onboarding — using pre-built, task-specific agents. It can read emails, extract data from spreadsheets, normalize supplier quotes, and route approvals autonomously.

CRM Analytics is a tool for visual analytics and predictions native to Salesforce Clouds. Tableau Next provides agent-powered analytics that can be embedded everywhere and an end-to-end API-first, enterprise analytics stack that is flexible and reusable. Both products are hosted and maintained by Salesforce. While Tableau Next is the next generation of our analytics portfolio and will be the pathway to the latest generative AI and agentic capabilities for analytics, CRM Analytics will continue to exist for customers who are not ready for that journey.
