Salesforce is really not a good enough product to be throwing it's weight around like that. It's expensive, it's clunky, and there are plenty of alternatives.

- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoDo the alternatives sell nearly as well? I couldn't name a single one, but pretty much everyone knows the Salesforce name.
- thrower123 7y agoI am not really sure, but we switched to Microsoft Dynamics a while back because Salesforce was overly expensive, and we got some steep discounts from Microsoft through a partner program. I don't use it much, but our sales people seem to have adjusted pretty easily; it was a bit of a pain to extract, clean, and import all the data that used to be in Salesforce, but far from insurmountable.
- derivagral 7y agoHubspot wants to grow up into Salesforce but is still about an order smaller. I worked there briefly but have since moved on.
