"The easiest way to ingest data I have seen in some time"
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)?

The zero-copy functionality has proved its value time and time again. Allowing a seamless, cheap and easy way to bring data into your Salesforce instance for segmentation, analytics, AI, or any other purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)?

The party identifcation DMO proves rather difficult to break down and understand, and a good technical understanding of this and the 360 model is needed in order to properly drive unification. At the time we implementated, the documentation was somewhat poor however since then, it has significantly improved, and the online communities such as Data Blazer proved a fruitful source of infomration.

"A Strategic Enabler for Unified Customer Intelligence and Activation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)?

What stands out most is how seamlessly Data Cloud integrates with both Salesforce-native and external data sources like Amazon S3. The platform’s ability to harmonize disparate datasets into a unified customer profile has been a game-changer. Its real-time segmentation and activation capabilities allow us to respond to customer behavior with agility, while the intuitive UI and strong governance features make it scalable across teams. The identity resolution engine is particularly impressive—it’s helped us reduce duplication and improve personalization across channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)?

While the platform is robust, the initial onboarding and data modeling phases require a steep learning curve, especially for teams new to CDPs. Some UI components can lag when handling large datasets, and a few connectors for niche third-party tools require custom development. Additionally, documentation around advanced orchestration flows could be more detailed to support complex use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
