We use Salesforce. It's complicated, but we've integrated it with Wrike (project management) and Hubspot (adding opportunities/leads, prospect scoring). Our Client Services team uses it for support (tickets automatically opened when emails come in) and that works great. Integration with Outlook also adds any inbound/outbound email involving a person's email address that it recognizes in Salesforce, so any employee looking at company activities can see what might be in the works for that client.

Cons: You get what you put into it -- and this is any CRM -- unless the company as a whole embraces it and people are mindful of data integrity

A customer is created in SFDC when opportunity is closed won. We have templates and workflows for account management - onboarding, success milestones, QBRs, renewal reminders, etc.

We utilize Hubspot for weekly newsletter and general outbound campaigns to our customers.

We have integrated these two so information flows between.

Can a Scrum Master also take on tasks such as writing test scripts or developing reports, especially now that GenAI tools make it easier for anyone to contribute? Traditionally, how was it viewed when Scrum Masters contributed in this way, and with GenAI potentially reducing team sizes, how might agile experts view this kind of involvement from Scrum Masters now?
