If you’ve been in the CRM space long enough, you know that Salesforce has been known to rename products, which can cause some confusion. What’s in a name? I’m having flashbacks to high school English class and Romeo & Juliet…ok, really I’m just thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio, who just keeps getting better with age. But, I digress.

[Editor’s Note: This post was originally published in February 2021, but we’ve updated the list to reflect product name changes from the recent Release Notes and company announcements.]

If you’re having trouble keeping track of all the product rebranding, then you’ve come to the right place! We’re rounding up all of the name changes, and we’ll aim to keep this post up-to-date to reflect any future Salesforce product rebranding. Did we miss anything big? Let us know in the comments!
