I wish you the worst of luck, you are an awful company that makes finnicky garbage software. In my many years as an IT professional, I have never, at any point, heard anyone say anything positive about Salesforce, ever.
Enterprise software is weeeeeeird. Salesforce, JIRA, Workday… these are terrible products by user standards. But they get purchased on other strengths, obviously. Compatibility with other shit software being high in the list. Configurability. Access control. Permissions roles. Some shit. I dunno. All I know is that every time we have to do something in Workday our HR department literally sends out a PowerPoint of step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
For which aspect? Sales force does so much that there isn’t a one product alternative. It is, however, cheaper for an enterprise to hire a team of web developers and build a custom in-house solution.

It’s all varying degrees of shitty, but Salesforce is a shit company. Not as bad as Oracle, but not good.
What are the best alternatives for large enterprise?
Pretty much just MS Dynamics. Or you build your own, that’s common too.
There are others, Zendesk has a CRM, some use ServiceNow or Hubspot but those don’t fit the same use case.
I swear dynamics is the shame shit
ServiceNow is absolute trash, search doesn’t even work
100% agree, it’s hot garbage. I have no idea how it’s lasted
I told my boss if they seriously consider SN for CRM or ticketing, I’m looking for work elsewhere. I won’t subject myself to that again

Our organization notified all they’re shifting to SAP HANA from salesforce. I have no clue what any of that means.
CRM and Marketing
Marketing is a very broad term, what does that mean to you?
Constant contact and twilio might meet your needs depending on what they really are.
Fresh or in house, depending on what you need. Edit: Maybe Zendesk too
What’s Fresh? Freshworks? Never heard of them.
