Microsoft Dynamics is not really a single solution. I guess you're referring to Microsoft Dynamics CE formerly known as Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Otherwise, I'd say the Dynamics suite is only second to SAP in popularity amongst business solutions.


E dey clearly stated there say na CRM i dey talk but you sha like plenty talk

So I've been reading about Salesforce and many nairalanders are recommending getting a skill there. Well, I went to their trailhead and decided to learn about Salesforce . The course was not quite complicated as I understood the few contents I read.
My problem now is, what exactly is Salesforce as a company? After acquiring a certificate, will it only be eligible for me to work on Salesforce? Is it like a platform? Like can a company not ed with Salesforce employ me? I'm confused please help.

The answer is YES and NO.

Salesforce is a cloud-based customer relationship management software and also provides a complementary suite of enterprise applications focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application. To simplify this grammar, Salesforce is a software that allows company to manage their business flows in one place. Salesforce makes it easier to generate leads, manage, and route them to sales teams, payment, customer retention, etc. Meaning, you can model all your company business flows on Salesforce.

After acquiring a certificate, will it only be eligible for me to work on Salesforce?:

Salesforce has a career pathway which is clearly defined on their website -

certification (, advanced )
Developer certification (platform developer I, platform developer II, commerce cloud)
Technical architect
Consultant certifications
Pardot expert (consultant, specialist)
App builder
Marketer certifications
Implementation experts/consultants certifications -.

However, your employability depends on the hiring company, they may signify that an experience in salesforce is a plus, and having a certificate will put you ahead of your competitors.

Like can a company not ed with Salesforce employ me?

Salesforce brand is very strong. It is known to be a market leader in various CRM and platform categories, Looking at the way the salesforce is broadening its offerings ranging from marketing, sales, services & community under one roof. Bringing together various other platforms through integration using custom built APIS or connecting using a middleware like MuleSoft (recently acquired company), Artificial intelligence & ML - Einstein bots/predictive scoring, Reporting in wave analytics, IOT cloud, Health cloud, financial services cloud etc, Lightning field services (for reps out on the client site) are just a few to name.

Some organisation may reject you if you are over-skilled, while others will definitely go for you if you are the only one with an advance certificate among the candidates.

You said it's more popular than Dynamics. You may have an idea of what you're saying, no doubt. But to an uninformed, it's a misleading statement.

No offense intended. I only wanted to clarify it for the readers' benefit that Salesforce can't be more popular than Dynamics.

Sorry.

Of course, you can. Did you work with an instructor? I am asking cause if you're asking questions like what is Salesforce as a company, where is it used, etc. after acquiring an certificate in one of the most widely used CRM in the world, then I'm afraid even your certificate might not take you very far. Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to undermine your efforts. But the Tech industry is skill oriented and from all indications, you need more skills/knowledge than you've gotten.

Nevertheless, you're on the right path. It's a business solution. As an , you can work in any organization that uses the CRM to manage thier customers or as a consultant in a Salesforce partner organization that deploys the system for other client organizations.
I haven't acquired it yet sir, just a few glances

It's more popular than Dynamics CE (a CRM application). It is not more popular than Dynamics. Dynamics is a host of business solutions only second to SAP. That's the clarification I was making.

What do you mean by elsewhere? Different companies use it and its more popular than Microsoft's Dyanamics sef


Salesforce is like Microsoft dynamics, a CRM solution

It can be used as a platform where ticketing platforms reside, customer tracking, etc

Check LinkedIn and watch YouTube, you'll understand it better

Developer jobs for salesforce pays more though

Does this sales force developer need to know how to code?
