Ask HN: Is SalesForce overcharging for database space?
We just migrated from Freshdesk to SalesForce for our CRM and what take up 1GB in uncompressed CSV-files is eating about 5GB of table space in SalesForce.<p>Never seen this blowup GB in any other CRM database. This is for standard Case, Customer, Contract, Email (attachments not included).<p>Extending with 10GB have a very high cost compared to any other system I have seen, even after heavy discount.<p>I get this feeling that SalesForce is overcharging by calculating a higher database size, than what is actually used (including temp space?). Or is it any other explanations?
