What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isSteelBrick CPQ — legacy Salesforce-native CPQ brand, acquired by Salesforce in 2016 and rebranded as Salesforce CPQ, now End of Sale.
Our takeSteelBrick no longer exists as a standalone product.
Salesforce acquired the company in late 2015, rebranded it Salesforce CPQ in Q1 2016, and further evolved it into Revenue Cloud (now Agentforce Revenue Management) in 2020. As of Q1 2025, Salesforce CPQ is officially End of Sale — new customers are directed to Revenue Cloud. SteelBrick and its successors have always used custom enterprise pricing.
Why we rate itHistorically the gold standard for Salesforce-native CPQ, SteelBrick earned its reputation by eliminating quoting errors and accelerating deal cycles inside Sales Cloud.
Its successor Revenue Cloud broadens scope to full revenue lifecycle management.
The catchSteelBrick CPQ is End of Sale (March 2025) — it no longer receives new features or new licenses.
Organizations still on it face a mandatory migration to Revenue Cloud, which is a significant implementation effort.

Best / not good for

  • Enterprises requiring complex product configuration and guided selling rules
  • Revenue Ops teams managing quote-to-cash in a single CRM ecosystem
Not good for
  • Teams not using Salesforce as their CRM
  • SMBs or startups wanting self-serve, low-cost CPQ
  • New buyers — Salesforce CPQ is no longer sold; must evaluate Revenue Cloud instead
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: implementation typically requires a Salesforce partner, weeks of configuration, and significant training investment.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-seat Salesforce licensing costs escalate sharply at large user counts; Revenue Cloud migration adds further complexity and cost.
  3. Walled garden
    High: deeply embedded in Salesforce ecosystem; exporting quotes or switching platforms requires significant data migration work.
