Bottom line up frontby Bill Belcamino, founder of HelpCompare
Editorial assessment

Bottom line up front: What's hard to undo once your company is on Salesforce?

Two things: your org's hosting region is fixed when the org is first created, and MFA for direct username/password logins is enforced from summer 2026, after which the org-wide setting can't be disabled.

Pricing starts with a 2-user Free Suite and plans from $25/user/mo, but Agentforce is included only in Max at $550/user/mo and is a paid add-on from $125/user/mo on Core and Advanced, and AI prices like these change often. The MFA change is the one that bites in practice. Forced MFA rarely troubles the people who log in every day; it breaks the shared login someone set up years ago and the old integration still signing in with a username and password. Before enforcement, list every account that logs in without a person at the keyboard, move people to SSO where you can (SSO logins follow your identity provider's MFA), and give each integration a named owner.

Salesforce security, offline access & remote work

Compliance reports, sign-in controls, offline access and the setup details that matter for remote, hybrid and in-office teams. Each value links to the vendor page it came from. Salesforce’s own security documentation: compliance.salesforce.com. Scope: Sales Cloud on the core Salesforce Platform; help-article edition names (Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited) differ from current bundle names. Several certifications explicitly exclude Salesforce Starter / ProSuite.

Salesforce: worth knowing

  • SecurityA Salesforce org's hosting region is fixed when the org is first created, chosen by the customer or an account executive from Hyperforce regions including the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and India. source
  • OfficeOn Professional Edition without the Edit Profiles & Page Layouts add-on, office/VPN IP ranges can only be set org-wide rather than per profile. source
  • SecuritySalesforce is enforcing MFA for direct username/password logins from summer 2026, after which the org-wide setting cannot be disabled; SSO logins follow the identity provider's MFA. source
  • OfflineField reps who go offline with an empty cache have no Salesforce data, so the mobile cache should be refreshed after each login. source

Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data

Where this data comes from

HelpCompare records pricing and feature data from vendor pricing pages and documentation at the time each comparison is researched, then re-checks it on a published schedule. This entity page is generated from those records — it does not introduce any figure that has not already been verified on a comparison page.

  • Vendor pricing and documentation — www.salesforce.com, checked September 12, 2026.
  • HelpCompare research — 3 comparison pages listed above, each with its own verification date.
  • G2 — aggregate rating and review count, checked . Review counts change daily; treat them as a snapshot.
  • Machine-readable copy — /data/tools.json, /data/tools.csv, and the open data hub.
Prices change often and vendors do not always announce it. Every figure here carries the date it was last checked — confirm current pricing with the vendor before you buy. If you find something out of date, the comparison page it came from is linked in the table above.

Founder and author, HelpCompare

Engineer by training, operator by experience, marketer by choice. Bill spent eight and a half years as an engineer at HP, was COO of Auctiva (the number one third-party selling platform on eBay, past 200,000 users) and ran Google’s $70M/year search syndication partnership at Alot.com. Then he spent 13 years building his own web properties with his own money at stake. He has bought, trialled, integrated and cancelled more SaaS tools than he can count, and started HelpCompare because the real cost of switching tools is the part nobody covers.
