With a following of over 150,000 customers, it’s no wonder Salesforce has been the industry pioneer and global leader in the CRM space for years. With an offering of so many different solutions to organize, streamline and enhance every aspect of the business process, it’s hard to imagine a solution better suited for the needs of any business. However, with such adaptability comes complexity and for that we can leverage third-party applications known in ecosphere as Salesforce Native Apps.
What Are Salesforce Native Apps?
Native Salesforce apps are developed using the seamless and powerful Salesforce Lightning Platform. Generally, Salesforce native apps don't make use of any code other than Apex, Visualforce, or Lighting Components. Furthermore, they don't require a separate Salesforce integration using APIs. The best thing is that you can experience a seamless and consistent experience with your CRM off the shelf. In short, native apps cannot run without Salesforce.
Furthermore, all of the data from Salesforce native apps is stored within your Salesforce instance that means you don't have to ever worry about extra security, and Salesforce native apps work with custom and standard objects when it comes to interacting with Salesforce and other apps. No additional proprietary APIs are required by Salesforce native apps. In case a native app has a proprietary API, it will be limited in its overall ability to integrate.
Where To Find Salesforce Apps?
You can visit Salesforce AppExchange, which is the world’s leading enterprise marketplace. The AppExchange has more than 5,000 apps that have been installed approx. 10 million times to help customers utilize the most pertinent of the Salesforce CRM solution for each use case. On top of the apps, you can also access Bolt Solutions, Lightning Data, Flow Solutions, certified Consultants, and Components on AppExchange. It’s a lot – so don’t feel discouraged if you find it overwhelming at times to differentiate between the applications and choose the right one for your organization and requirements. Be specific if you're looking for one solution, or try searching for a Managed Support Partner if your needs are unfocused.
