Economic Moat
Salesforce has a narrow economic moat
Replacing Salesforce can mean rebuilding the sales and service processes that customers have built around it, rather than simply buying different software. The resulting work and risk of disruption make it harder for rivals to win deeply embedded customers with a cheaper offer alone.
What protects Salesforce from competitors
High Switching Costs
Customers build custom sales processes, approval rules and connections to other software inside Salesforce. Moving to a rival requires transferring customer records, rebuilding and testing those connections and processes, and retraining employees, which makes switching costly and disruptive.
What could weaken Salesforce's moat
Easier migration to rivals
Tools such as Microsoft's Salesforce migration service could weaken this protection if they reliably transfer custom processes and data with much less rebuilding and disruption.
