About this question

Has anyone implemented external objects/lightning connect? It's my understanding that lightning connect is simply a rebranding of external objects.


Is there an additional licensing cost to use external objects? I don't see much mention of it but found some info. here on the investors site regarding lightning connect: http://investor.salesforce.com/about-us/investor/investor-news/investor-news-details/2014/Salesforce-Launches-Salesforce1-Lightning-Connect-The-Fastest-Easiest-Way-to-Integrate-Any-Data-Source-with-Salesforce/default.aspx

Salesforce1 Lightning Connect is priced per data source and monthly subscription pricing starts at $4,000 per month.

Can you confirm this either way?

Salesforce Connect pricing can vary depending on your specific needs and the edition of Salesforce you are using. Typically, Salesforce Connect is an add-on feature, and there are additional costs associated with it. Here are some potential cost considerations:

License Fees: Salesforce Connect may require additional licenses beyond your standard Salesforce subscription. These licenses are usually sold per user, per month.

Connector Costs: If you're connecting to certain external data sources, there might be additional costs for specific connectors or integration tools.

Data Storage: Depending on how much external data you're integrating and storing within Salesforce, you might incur additional data storage costs.

Implementation and Customization: If you need professional services to set up and customize Salesforce Connect to your specific requirements, there could be additional consulting fees.

Third-Party Services: If you're using third-party services or middleware to facilitate the integration, there might be separate costs associated with those services.

For the most accurate and detailed pricing information, it's best to contact Salesforce directly or consult with a Salesforce account representative who can provide a quote based on your specific use case and requirements.
