- "Salesforce-centric organizations that want reps to work from their CRM" (GPT-6 Luna, Sales engagement)

## And against it

- "implementation that can be overwhelming for mid-market companies, with total cost of ownership often exceeding $300/user/month" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Sales engagement)
- "If you are not deeply entrenched in the Salesforce ecosystem, buying their native engagement tool can be a mistake." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Sales engagement)
- "Users frequently note complexity and cost... "extremely expensive, overly complicated, and very hard to navigate"" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Sales engagement)
- "Trade-off: Often lacks the polished UI and advanced cadence flexibility of best-of-breed tools like Salesloft." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Sales engagement)
