What changed
Sesame Software launched a free, read-only assessment for enterprises considering a move away from Salesforce. The service connects to a customer’s data, then produces a scoped, priced migration plan without requiring a credit card.
The proposed workflow covers assessment, mapping, a dry run, transfer and verification. Sesame says it preserves parent-child relationships, can handle hundreds of millions of records, offers an optional searchable archive in customer-owned storage, and runs migration pipelines inside the customer’s environment.
Why it matters
Leaving a CRM is less like exporting a spreadsheet and more like moving a filing system while keeping every cross-reference intact. A lost attachment is bad; a broken relationship between accounts, contacts and records can make years of history harder to use even when the files technically survived.
Sesame’s pitch is therefore built around proof before cutover. Its verification report is meant to reconcile counts, while the dry run gives teams a chance to inspect the proposed move before making it final. That makes the free assessment useful as a budgeting and risk-scoping exercise, even for companies that ultimately choose another migration provider.
The commercial model is also straightforward: flat annual pricing, unlimited data movement and no per-record billing. Sesame says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, and supports GDPR and CCPA.
The important caveat is that these are Sesame’s stated capabilities. The announcement provides no independent performance, security or compatibility results, and names no customer deployments. The practical test will be whether an actual assessment can turn a company’s Salesforce data into a migration plan detailed enough to approve.
