The Problem With Salesforce

Salesforce = Complexity & Cost

Salesforce was built for the past. BotDesk delivers the AI-native speed, flexibility, and automation modern teams need to delight their customers.

Massive Costs

Licenses start high and skyrocket with necessary add-ons, sandbox environments, and implementation fees for your entire support team.

Requires Consultants

You cannot set it up yourself. You need a certified Salesforce Admin or agency to configure basic workflows for your entire support team.

Vendor Lock-in

Once you build custom Apex processes, you are stuck. Moving away becomes a multi-year project for your entire support team today now.
