What is our primary use case?
We can store our leads and track the sales. We can store objects like contacts, opportunities, and accounts in our Salesforce database. It will help to close deals faster. Suppose a contact is interested in purchasing something. That information is stored in the Salesforce database, and you can track the current level of contact.

It has enough customization and I really like the data it shows in analytics module.

The main thing we as team benifit is having all of the leads at one place not looking anywhere else, earlier tools had hassle in this. Everything at one look and easy to access.
The best just keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?

The biggest challenge is just cost. Many of the best new capabilities come as add-on rather than included.

Pipeline visibility is first and foremost, but also helping to determine differences in the execution of our deal cycles -- which seller behaviors, customer segments, and products are contributing most to our growth.
