 Salesforce.com CRM product Limitations

101 Salesforce.com CRM product Limitations:

  Are simply Salesboom Strengths


Salesforce.com CRM Limitations


Our CRM competitors such as Salesforce.com and others make it so difficult for CRM prospective buyers to make educated buying decisions by means and methods of hiding and neglecting to tell customers about their CRM product limitations and extra hidden costs up front. Here is a list of over 91 Salesforce.com CRM product limitations and issues that their marketing department's strategy seems focused on hiding from you and other initial CRM buyers. A disgraceful practice of hiding valuable product information that could stop you from buying their CRM software products in the first place such as hidden irregular and none published storage costs can easily double yearly license subscription costs. Such concealed unethical business practices make it harder for a successful on budget crm implementation project. Salesforce.com limitations perhaps attribute to their reported higher than average attrition rates. At Salesboom.com we differentiate ourselves by being a limitless CRM technology vendor that focuses on delivering the greatest value through our CRM cloud computing software products, on-time and on-budget.. Here is a highly detailed CRM Feature Comparison between Salesboom.com and Salesforce.com

I With Salesforce.com, if you schedule a task to occur once a year, you can schedule it for a maximum of 10 years. If the Event is to reoccur daily, then you could only have it reoccur 100 times maximum. With Salesboom.com no limits are enforced.

II $1,000 One Time Setup Fee. Applicable only to Enterprise Edition Customers with 10 or more active users.

III Same As Above.

IV Same As Above.

V In Salesboom.com, by mass emailing Accounts, you are actually sending the email to every active Contact in the Account.

VI $500/year. Available in Enterprise Edition Only.

VII This feature is in beta. This will allow you to manage multiple contacts per lead and when converted, it will create appropriate Contact records, Account and/or Opportunity. Salesboom.com is the first CRM vendor ever to address this problem.

VIII $700/year. Available in Enterprise Edition Only.

IX This feature allows you to pre define many popular names for an object, and then use them when creating objects. This feature must be turned on by Salesboom.com authorized Level2 support personnel as the feature only makes sense for specific situations and if improperly used can have a negative effect on your organization data quality. I.e. Most companies will not want to call different opportunities similar names, but others rarely may require it.

X This feature will allow your organization to map Lead fields into custom fields in custom objects when converted.

XI When converting a lead in Salesforce.com only a pick-list of existing accounts that match the Company field are offered; Salesboom.com offers a complete Account Search and Lookup instead.

XII $700/year. Available in Enterprise Edition Only.

XIII This feature will only appear on reports that have objects with an email address field.

XIV Mass Update Records in Views is available free for Enterprise Edition Customers with at least 10 Active Users.

XV This feature allows a user to have multiple signatures, and choose a different signature for each contact emailed. Some CRM users need a different signature based on the field or industry, hence the requirement for this feature. $100 setup fee. Available free for Enterprise Edition Customers with at least 10 Active Users.

XVI This feature is only available to Enterprise Edition customers with at least 10 active users. Although it is highly advised to not hide Field Labels, some of our customers believe that if a field has a null value, it should not show up when viewing a record. However null-value fields will show up when editing a record. This feature will be controlled in the user profile.

XVII $100 Setup Fee applies - available only to Enterprise Edition customers with at least 10 active users.

XVIII $500/year. Available in Enterprise Edition Only and allows workflow rules to be run on the User Object. A good example: to be alerted whenever a user logs in, sends an email or logs calls to specific clients, runs a report, uploads a document, etc.

XIX For a yearly fee of $1200, Salesboom.com upgrades become on-demand and each organization has the control to decide when and if a specific Salesboom.com upgrade is to be deployed to their organization’s users.
