Salesforce: Strengths and Weaknesses
A fair look at what Salesforce does well and where it falls short.
● Strengths
- Deepest enterprise feature set in the market
- Massive ecosystem (AppExchange has 7,000+ apps)
- Industry-specific solutions (healthcare, financial services, manufacturing)
- Global brand trust; no procurement team questions choosing Salesforce
● Weaknesses
- Extremely complex to configure. Most orgs need a dedicated admin or consultant.
- Implementation costs ($5K-$50K+) on top of license fees
- Per-seat pricing punishes team growth: 50 seats on Enterprise is $8,250/mo
- Data model is rigid without expensive customization

What Conduyt Does Differently
Zero implementation cost: set up in under a day
No dedicated admin required; any team member can configure
Flat $499/mo vs $8,250/mo at 50 seats on Enterprise
Modern API-first architecture vs SOAP-era foundation
Custom objects on every plan without AppExchange add-ons
Switching from Salesforce
Salesforce data export via Data Loader or Dataloader.io. Standard objects (Contact, Account, Opportunity) map directly. Complex custom objects and Apex triggers need evaluation. We offer white-glove migration on Professional and Enterprise plans.
