Salesforce Platform Previous Solutions
Previously, I was using Hyperionix. With Hyperionix, the look and feel were not very good compared to Salesforce. Also, following follow-ups and creating cases were all tedious processes in Hyperionix. Usability-wise, Hyperionix was not flexible.

I've also used ZenDesk at one point. However, it doesn't have the same functionality.

I have used Pega CRM before Salesforce Platform. They have different capabilities except for the workflow. Salesforce platform leads in sales automation.

I actually worked with GoldMine CRM, one of the first CRM tools that were out there. They worked on my internet services and voice services for many years before selling GoldMine to Vendata.
What I liked about their tool, which is something that Salesforce doesn't do, is they actually had a version for individuals as opposed to companies. That way, I would be able to track everything I was doing, too, and coordinate, and be able to save that information without setting up all the alarms that come with downloading something.

Head of IT at a non-profit with 201-500 employees
We used a number of different solutions before going with Salesforce. We didn't switch because they weren't fit for purpose, and we wanted to get all our critical business systems onto one platform.

I have cursory knowledge in Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE. We used to resell. I worked for Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T, and we were a major reseller of Microsoft Office and Intune at the time of their launch.

I've used Microsoft Dynamics. I come from Microsoft Dynamics and it was more integrated with our email solution. It was for the agenda, the calendar, and all the tools you use to just work on a daily basis.

We used to use a GCP application and we switched to this product in 2018. We find it to be a much better CRM overall.

We also use Teams for our video conferencing and meetings, and I've been using Team's folders to save assets, notes from OneNote, video recordings, and stream recordings from the Teams sessions. I saved them all into the Teams file, however, the larger population of the Salesforce team doesn't even know how to use Teams and doesn't know how to log into Teams even if it's for meetings.

President / COO / Chief Technology Advisor at DeKonsultere LLC
We previously used Oracle CRM on premise. We switched because we spent too much time applying patches and upgrades and regression testing such that we were unable to respond to changing business conditions and put in enhancements. Now we never deal with patches and upgrades and we only focus on enhancements.

I have used several different CRMs and my least favorite was Microsoft Dynamics. It was bulky, not user-friendly, and reporting was not ideal.

We did use a different solution. It was quite dated, which was why we needed to switch. We also needed something that would work for a global project.

I have used other solutions similar to Salesforce Platform, such as Microsoft Dynamics. As a standard, the past three or four companies I have worked for have been using the Salesforce Platform.

No. We just decided to use Salesforce as a CRM system as its Forecasting and Marketing Lead is a good module to work with.
