What it is
Salesforce's real-time data platform that unifies customer data from any source - Salesforce, other apps, websites, mobile, IoT - into a single customer profile. Rebranded from Data Cloud at Dreamforce 2025 as part of the Agentforce 360 umbrella.
Why it matters
AI is only as good as the data it can access. Data 360 gives Agentforce the unified, real-time context it needs to be genuinely helpful. It's now positioned as the "brain" of the Agentforce ecosystem - not just storing data, but activating it for AI agents and workflows.
Key capabilities
- Unified customer profiles
- Real-time data ingestion
- Identity resolution (matching records across systems)
- Segmentation for marketing
- Foundation for AI/Agentforce
What's new
- Intelligent Context - Works with unstructured data (PDFs, emails, call transcripts)
- Tableau Semantics - Consistent metrics and definitions across all clouds
- Deeper Agentforce integration - Data now drives agent actions in real-time
Good to know
Basic Data 360 access is included free in Salesforce Foundations. This is the sixth name for this product (formerly Customer 360 Audiences, Salesforce CDP, Marketing Cloud CDP, Salesforce Genie, Data Cloud).
