What is Salesforce and what is it used for?
Salesforce is a CRM platform that organizes sales, customer service and customer relationships around a single record of accounts and contacts, sold in editions and products such as Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.
Sales teams use Salesforce to track opportunities and deal stages, gather account and contact information, check reports and dashboards, and set up rules and flows that cut repetitive work. Support teams organize requests and service activities in Service Cloud, which has its own pricing.
Sales Cloud editions climb in steps: Starter Suite, Pro Suite, Enterprise, Unlimited and Agentforce 1 Sales, the one that includes Agentforce, Salesforce's AI agents. Not every function is in every edition, and the official documentation lists the limits of each.
The platform also connects compatible apps and extensions from its ecosystem, which matters for companies that already depend on other tools. Before rolling it out, define the process it serves, the data involved and who runs the system.
