المقدمة
For this paper, we decided to compare 300code against one of the largest competitors on the market: Salesforce. Specifically, we'll be looking at the 300code Sales app versus the Salesforce SalesCloud application.
While the abilities and functional possibilities of both 300code and Salesforce are expansive, this document solely focuses on comparing the two company's specific Sales-focused offerings. That said, many features and options can be utilized with the addition of add-ons and third-party applications. However, the following comparison is dedicated to the basic, standard version of the product, and what it can do right out-of-the-box.
In order to offer the most fair comparison between the two sales platforms, we've compiled a table of the most important features that sales software should offer.
These are organized into 6 main categories:
- General Sales
- Quotations & Sales Orders
- Products & Pricing
- الفوترة
- التقارير
- Connectors & Integrations
These categories most accurately encapsulate everything a business needs to properly manage its sales. We've also included a comprehensive list of pricing conditions and usability analysis for both solutions to further the comparison.
Limitations
When it comes to comparative white papers of this nature, many claim to present a fully unbiased, straightforward breakdown of two (or more) competing products. However, these materials are usually written and published by one of the companies being analyzed.
Inherently, this doesn't always lend itself to a completely unbiased, authentic comparison - as the publishing party often ends up looking like the more “favorable” option.
We are well aware of this presumption, and feel inclined to point it out for the sake of full transparency.
That said, even though we are one of the companies being examined in this white paper, we did our very best to avoid such biases, and approached this project with the utmost professionalism, objectiveness, and fairness.
While an earnest effort was put forth during the creation of this comparison white paper, it's only right to address a few limitations that occurred during the research phase.
Despite our most diligent attempts, we were unable to obtain fully functional use of the SalesForce software. The data obtained for this white paper, related to SalesForce, was collected via a series of software trials and demos, phone conferences with SalesForce product experts, and also with the aid of in-depth, independent research.
Additionally, there isn't a singular SalesForce “Sales” application to compare against the 300code Sales application. The SalesForce software combines various elements of Sales and CRM, while 300code offers individual solutions for each.
For the sake of full disclosure, the entirety of 300code's software was readily available throughout the creation of this comparison. Please keep these considerations in mind as you review the remainder of this white paper.

Salesforce
Salesforce, based in San Francisco, was founded in 1999 by Marc Benioff, Dave Moellenhoff, Parker Harris, and Frank Dominguez. While this cloud-based SaaS provider initially started off as purely a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution, it has evolved into one of the biggest management software companies in the industry.
Salesforce provides a variety of software solutions to its customers, including: CRM, Sales, Marketing, Service, Analytics, eCommerce, IoT, and so much more.
Salesforce is available in four editions, which are all billed annually:
- Starter
- Professional
- Enterprise
- Unlimited
The Starter edition allows users to begin their journey quickly, with basic solutions for sales, service, and email outreach tools for $25/user/month.
The Professional edition gives users a more advanced version of their Sales/CRM applications for $80/user/month.
The Enterprise edition provides users the advanced version of their Sales/CRM applications, with detailed analytics and API for $165/user/month.
The Unlimited edition provides users with everything Salesforce has to offer, including the Sales/CRM applications, complete with automation, AI, and built-in developer support for $330/user/month.
For the following comparison, we chose to use features that are available in the Professional edition.

User Interface
The mark of a truly valuable platform comes down to its user interface.
A top-tier interface not only makes the completion of complicated tasks quick and efficient, it also provides a heightened level of success and satisfaction, due to the reliable convenience provided by its easy-to-use design, functionality, and wide array of features.
The best-designed software organically creates a familiarity with the user, by delivering a consistent dashboard layout with predictable interactions, helping users establish an immediate comfortability with the platform.
In the next section, we'll examine screenshots from these two software interfaces to get a better look at their differences.
