How to choose a Salesforce Automotive Cloud alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check whether the bill grows with each licensed user, which edition you need and whether add-ons apply. Salesforce lists Core at US$300 per user/month, billed annually. Compare that cost with the recall work your team actually needs, not just the features in a wider suite.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where your records live and whether you can keep them in a database you own. Also check what you can export and how history, evidence files, messages and permissions are handled. Your records should remain usable by your business if your needs or system change.
- 3
Fit with your rules
List the fields and handoffs your team uses, from affected vehicles and owner contact history to dealer assignments and remedy evidence. Check whether the system can follow your approved process and show what still needs review, rather than making your team work around a fixed process.
- 4
What switching involves
Plan how campaign records will move and who will reconcile them before active use. An export can bring affected-vehicle records across, but evidence files, existing messages and permissions need their own migration plan. Agree what transfers, what stays as history and what your team must check.
The option that fits
Own a version built around your business
If recall coordination is the work you need to replace, an owned version can fit your fields, handoffs and review process. Enterprise DNA builds your version, brings your Salesforce Automotive Cloud data across and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can work with it in plain language. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. A free version is also available for you to run yourself.
