BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
Your Salesforce edition gates the portal
Experience Cloud requires Enterprise Edition or above. Customer and Partner Community licences are unavailable on Professional — confirm first.
04
Agentforce adds consumption-based billing
Agentforce conversational agents in portals bill per conversation, separate from your portal lic—model AI deflection vs. agent FTE savings.
02
Login vs member licensing is a structural choice
Login-based vs member-based licensing is architectural. Login suits infrequent users; member suits daily users — wrong choice risks overage.
05
LWR vs Aura templates are not interchangeable
Site templates on newer LWR runtime can't use Aura components, vice versa. This early choice locks your library, costing weeks if reversed.
03
Guest user data access is tightly restricted
Portal pages use a Guest User profile with limited access. Public records need explicit sharing rules — a design constraint, not a toggle.
06
Experience Builder hides deep org complexity
Experience Builder drag-and-drop looks easy, but production portals need certified SF Admin & Dev for sharing rules/perm sets/ext identity.

ABOUT SALESFORCE EXPERIENCE CLOUD
PORTALS THAT LIVE INSIDE YOUR CRM — NOT ALONGSIDE IT.
