About Salesforce

Salesforce is the market leader and the most configurable CRM available. Almost any sales process, automation, or report can be built, and the AppExchange marketplace offers more integrations than any rival. Its Starter Suite gives UK small businesses an affordable, GBP-priced way in.

That power comes with complexity and cost. Most teams need help to implement the higher editions well, many capabilities are sold as separate products or add-ons, and the total cost of ownership at the top end is the highest in this comparison.

Salesforce was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in San Francisco, USA.
