Salesforce.com and SalesLogix by Sage Software are two popular Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. They serve the same general purpose: software that helps companies track customer/employee interactions, lead management, planning, calendar capabilities and much more.
Salesforce.com has been in existence for 10 years and is only offered as a software as a service (SaaS), i.e as a subscription model. SalesLogix has been around for 14 years and was previously install only. However, in 2010 Sage released SalesLogix Cloud. Customers can now choose to deploy SalesLogix on the web, SaaS (Cloud), mobile, and LAN (installed).
There are similarities in both Salesforce and SalesLogix. But also some significant differences. Such as functionality and data storage.
Update… we have a client who tells me that SFDC quoted 18% off the Enterprise price ($125/U/m) for a 2 year subscription commitment.
So that is $1,230 p.a. per User – i.e. $30,750 p.a.; or for the two years = $61.5k; 3yr TCO = $92.25k
25 x SLX (with KnowledgeSync included, and 2 yrs of M&S for the on premise version) equates to $49.4k; 3yr TCO = $56.7k
Nearly half price
