Ask HN: Do I really need Salesforce for enterprise sales?
- Salesforce (SF) has the biggest market share, an app store, a developer console but is expensive and unnecessarily cluttered, I am not able to setup a Gmail integration without contacting their sales team, something which should be a standard feature
- The rest of the crowd: as expensive and no clear advantage
- The only one which seems clever and sane is Streak, seamlessly integrated with Gmail, there isn't any feature I have missed yet even for large sales teams/cooperations, nice UI, super fine permission/role setup
So, Streak seems like an obvious choice, still wondering why so many opt for SF, it feels super cluttered and unintuitive. I know that I can customize everything but the other choices do not seem that inferior with their own integrations and stuff like Zapier. And again a simple Gmail integration is not possible in Salesforce out of the box and the reviews regarding this integration in the Chrome Extension Store are rather bad.
What CRMs/SFAs are you using?
