Sales Cloud vs Health Cloud: Differences you Need to Know

Our clients often ask "Should I start a Sales Cloud or Health Cloud implementation?" While our answer always depends on business needs, the decision to implement Health Cloud is almost always a matter of compliance and security.

The simplest way to think about the differences is to picture Health Cloud as an extended version of Sales Cloud - significantly enhanced for healthcare companies.

The choice between Salesforce Sales Cloud and Health Cloud often comes down to compliance. As heightened security becomes increasingly necessary in a healthcare landscape defined by risk mitigation, the compliance advantages of Health Cloud are usually enough to make it an easy choice.

However, Health Cloud carries advantages beyond enhanced security for providers, labs, pharmaceuticals, and medical device companies.

Our chart below highlights the major “extensions” in Health Cloud versus those available in Sales Cloud.
