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
Per-user pricing scales faster than headcount
Cost compounds linearly with team size. Teams above 15 users should model annual cost against Pro Suite — the capability gap widens.
04
CPQ and quoting require an upgrade
Quote generation, contract management, and product catalogue config are absent from Starter—Pro Suite is the minimum for formal proposals.
02
Customisation hits a hard ceiling
Custom objects, validation rules & multi-step workflows aren't in Starter. Structured sales teams hit this limit within 6-9 months.
05
Third-party integrations are breadth-limited
AppExchange access exists, but REST API/custom-auth integrations need Pro+. Starter connects common tools, not bespoke middleware or ERP sync.
03
Data Cloud unification needs clean source data
The single customer timeline needs deduplicated contact data. Fragmented CRM history needs a hygiene sprint before deployment, not after.
06
Support SLA is community-first by default
Starter includes only community/online support. Premier Success adds 24/7 live support at ~20-30% of net licence value - factor into TCO

ABOUT SALESFORCE
THE WORLD'S #1 CRM — NOW SIZED FOR GROWING TEAMS.
Salesforce pioneered cloud CRM and remains the market-defining platform for enterprise sales, service, and marketing operations globally.
Salesforce Starter Suite distils the platform's core capabilities — contact management, deal tracking, campaign execution, and case resolution — into a single guided experience deployable without a Salesforce admin or implementation partner.
Powered by Data Cloud, Starter unifies contacts across touchpoints into a single timeline. Pre-built dashboards surface pipeline health without configuration. The guided setup removes the onboarding barrier that has historically limited Salesforce adoption in sub-50 seat teams.
