Get the outcomes you want. Skip the upkeep you don't.
Before building your own sales performance management solution, consider the benefits of choosing Ascent Cloud's tried-and-true suite of products.
Why build your own solution when you could use Ascent Cloud?
There's no doubt your talented team could build something amazing. But Ascent Cloud products come with more than a decade of hard-won lessons, a world-class customer support team, and a roadmap that keeps pace with your business.
The Ascent Cloud Customer Support Team is frequently celebrated for its friendly, quick, and competent service.
Ascent Cloud has been building Salesforce-native tools since 2010, and have seen it all since then. This experience helps us maintain and iterate upon the very best products in the market.
As a SOC 2 compliant company, Ascent Cloud uses enterprise-grade standards to protect customer data.
“We are going to be able to do some fun things around territory coverage, and have insightful conversations about how we can better deploy resources.”
Ascent Cloud vs. build-your-own
When it comes to building your own solution, it's not a question of whether you can, but whether you should. Here’s what you gain with Ascent Cloud and what you own when you build.
Go live fast without adding headcount
Launch in weeks, not quarters. Leave it up to Ascent Cloud's engineers, not your busy team.
Responsive, personale dedicated support team
When you buy with Ascent Cloud, you get responsive, dedicated support from real (nice!) people.
Continuous product improvements
Benefit from regular product updates that we plan based on real customer feedback.
Salesforce-native workflows
Ascent Cloud products are built inside Salesforce, so reps don't have to learn a new system.
Own the codebase and architecture
When you build-your-own solution, you own the codebase. But you also own long-term maintenance, upgrades, and support overhead.

Ascent Cloud follows SOC 2 security standards, which means controls are independently assessed against the Trust Services Criteria. It’s a widely recognized way to show buyers that security practices are documented, monitored, and consistently followed. (If you have Type II, call it out—buyers care.)
Buying doesn’t have to mean “one-size-fits-all.” Ascent Cloud is designed to work in the systems revenue teams already rely on, so you can configure workflows without rebuilding the fundamentals from scratch. You keep room to adapt without owning the entire platform.
Building a product is the easy part — and it's not even easy at all. Keeping a product reliable, adopted, and current over multiple planning cycles is what usually takes up internal resources.
Ascent Cloud’s customer support is ongoing, which means you get help through rollout, adoption, and ongoing product updates.
Most “unique” needs are a mix of configuration and process habits. Ascent Cloud is built to flex inside Salesforce without turning every change into a dev ticket.
