What is Salesforce Data Cloud?

Salesforce Data Cloud (recently folded into the broader Data 360 branding) connects customer data from over 200 pre-built connectors, including systems like SAP, Shopify, Zendesk, and Workday, using a zero-copy architecture that lets organizations query data without moving it. It builds unified customer profiles through identity resolution, maps source data into a common data model, and layers in Einstein AI for insights such as Next Best Action recommendations, along with governance tools for enforcing consent and data usage policies.

Salesforce uses a consumption-based pricing model built on credits, reported at roughly $500 per 100,000 credits, spent on functions like data ingestion, profile unification, and segmentation, with storage priced separately. Ingesting structured data from core Salesforce clouds is free. A flat-rate profile-based pricing option is also available. Exact current pricing requires a quote or Salesforce's online calculator.
