Why Companies Are Switching
Frustrated with Salesforce Revenue Cloud's complexity? You're not alone. While Salesforce has been the default choice for years, forward-thinking companies are discovering Subskribe CPQ offers a faster, simpler, and more cost-effective solution.
Common Salesforce Revenue Cloud Pain Points (And How Subskribe Solves Them)
1. Implementation Nightmares → Quick Time to Value
Salesforce requires 6-24 months of complex implementation with dedicated technical teams. Subskribe deploys in weeks with minimal IT support through its business-user-friendly interface.

- Constant Maintenance Needs: The system requires ongoing technical maintenance and updates to stay functional.
Subskribe Advantage:
- Weeks-Based Implementation: Companies can have their entire system up and running in a matter of weeks rather than months or years.
- Minimal IT Support Required: The intuitive setup process can be handled primarily by business users without extensive IT involvement.
