The marketplace boasts an extensive collection of over 7,000 installable apps and components that enhance Salesforce's features. These resources cater to specific business requirements across various sectors and departments. Additionally, AppExchange connects users with certified consultants for customized implementation and support.
Locating the appropriate solution is simplified through intelligent recommendations and curated app collections. Users can experiment with numerous applications in a demo environment via the 'Test Drive' feature. Salesforce Labs also provides a selection of free, customizable applications.
