While the the exact number of subscribers isn’t public, it is estimated that Salesforce has over two million users. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, that is larger than the population of Latvia. It’s actually larger than the population of 40% of countries in the world according to Wikipedia.

With such a broad user base, there are many different needs from users that Salesforce can’t possibly solve single-handedly. Their revolutionary solution to this was building the AppExchange, a marketplace for anyone to publish software that builds on the capabilities of Salesforce. There are now over 2,700 apps to choose from that integrate with the CRM and empower sales and marketing teams to get more done.

But with thousands of apps available on the AppExchange, it’s challenging to know which deserve your attention. That’s why we created the Periodic Table of AppExchange apps – a list of the 80 most useful tools for sales and marketing teams. Comb through these apps to get a better idea of what apps are at your disposal. From heavy-lifting analytics platforms to quick-to-install free apps, there are solutions to your most common CRM problems. Take a look, scroll below for more information about each app, and click on its title to go directly to the app listing.
