What differentiates Salesforce Sales Cloud from other similar products?

Most CRMs give you a pre-set structure, but Salesforce lets you mold it to your processes, no matter how niche or complex. It feels less like software and more like a toolkit for building your perfect sales system.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I set up an automated follow-up for leads marked as "hot" that triggers a series of personalized emails and task reminders—practically working magic for our sales team.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Building custom dashboards can feel like solving a puzzle when all you want is a quick insight. I’ve spent hours trying to make data look the way I need it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your team is ready to commit to deep customization. Then, bring in a Salesforce admin or consultant—someone who can set it up properly, because trying to DIY this beast will leave you frustrated
