Understanding Salesforce licensing is incredibly important for all areas of a business buying salesforce and implementation projects. Common questions are:
- What licenses are available?
- How much do they cost?
- Which license types support my intended solution?
- What are the limitations?
- How are they “consumed”?
As part of my Salesforce TA Certification I created a matrix that compares all current license types making it easy to learn about licenses and make the licensing decision a bit easier. The matrix isn’t comprehensive but instead tries to balance ease-of-use whilst providing the most important decision points.
Let me know if I missed anything important!
This is great and really helpful Wes – thanks for sharing!
