That is the whole plan for Salesforce. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Every integration: marketing automation, support cases, quoting, billing, BI tooling, and the hundred connectors vendors ship for Salesforce and nothing else
- Multi-user permissions, sharing rules, field-level security, and audit trails that survive a compliance review
- Reporting, forecasting and dashboards that leadership already knows how to read
- The admin ecosystem: consultants, AppExchange, and a hiring pool that already knows the object model
- Historical data with lineage, which is the actual asset in any CRM older than a year
