Netwrix Strongpoint is a native change management and compliance solution built directly inside NetSuite, with a sister product available for Salesforce. It starts by producing accurate, automated documentation of every customization in your account or org and the connections between them, then layers a suite of tools and pre-built controls on top to help you manage risk, save time, and gain confidence in a critical enterprise system.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Automated Documentation (Spider): Automatically catalogs custom fields, scripts, forms, searches, records, and workflows, and keeps that documentation current as your account changes.
- Impact Analysis: Identify dependencies between customizations before you make a change, so you know what search, script, or workflow will break before you touch it.
- Automated Change Detection: Continuously track changes to customizations with change logs showing what changed, how, when, and who made the change.
- Change Request Management: Route changes through defined approval policies, with automatic classification of change risk based on object type and process.
- Segregation of Duties (SoD): Detect and manage SoD conflicts with a customizable rule engine, blocking controls, and pre-approval workflows for exemptions.
- User Access Review (UAR): Run structured membership and permission reviews on a defined cadence, with role ownership and audit-ready history.
- Environment Comparison: Compare customizations across two NetSuite accounts to validate sandbox refreshes, migrations, and production deployments before and after go-live.
- Clean Up Tools: Identify unused fields, searches, scripts, and other custom objects, then safely deprecate them with impact analysis built in.
- Ticketing Integrations: Connect with Jira, ServiceNow, and Zendesk for ticket-level impact analysis, plus a public Integration API for custom workflows.
- Agent (Financial Controls): Monitor and manage changes to critical financial records and settings, with automated alerts and control incident logging.
- Flashlight: A free entry-level product for both NetSuite that provides customization documentation and a starter toolset for working with it, ahead of the enterprise-level products.
On the Salesforce side, you will find many of the same features with a few differences:
- Automated Documentation (Spider): Automatically catalogs custom fields, Apex code, Visualforce/Lightning components, Flows, reports, and records, and keeps that documentation current as your org changes.
- Impact Analysis: Identify dependencies between customizations before you make a change, so you know what a Flow, Apex trigger, or report will break before you touch it.
- Automated Change Detection: Continuously track changes to customizations with change logs showing what changed, how, when, and who made the change.
- Change Request Management: Route changes through defined approval policies, with automatic classification of change risk based on object type and process.
- Environment Comparison: Compare customizations across two Salesforce orgs to validate migrations and production deployments before and after go-live.
- Clean Up Tools: Identify unused fields, reports, Apex code, and other custom objects, then safely deprecate them with impact analysis built in.
- Ticketing Integrations: Connect with Jira, ServiceNow, and Zendesk for ticket-level impact analysis, plus a public Integration API for custom workflows.
- Data Tracking: Extends change control to configuration data stored in custom objects — such as Salesforce CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) pricing, discount, and approval rules — treating it with the same scrutiny as Apex metadata. Teams can put specific fields (e.g., on the Discount Schedule and Discount Tier objects) under change control and generate compliance logs whenever they're modified, cutting reliance on manual field history review for SOX and other audit requirements. Requires an Enterprise Compliance license.
- Access Management Tools: Give compliance and security teams continuous visibility into who has access to what. Includes tracking of specific System Permission assignments across Permission Sets and Profiles, tracking access to specific fields via custom monitoring rules, and documentation of Report and Dashboard folder access. Pre-built Access Reports (Permissions by Object, Object Permission by Profile/PermSet, Users to Profiles/PermissionSets, System Permissions, Field Permissions, and more) pair with dedicated tools — Profile/Permission Set Comparison, Access Review Assistant, and User Activity — so teams can compare permissions side by side, review object/user/profile-level access, and check login activity before deactivating a user.
Primary Value and User Solutions:
NetSuite and Salesforce accounts accumulate customizations fast, and without documentation or dependency visibility, teams end up making changes blind, breaking Apex code, Flows, and workflows they didn't know were connected. Strongpoint closes that gap by documenting the environment automatically and surfacing impact before changes go live, not after something breaks.
Change Request workflows and pre-built Change/Approval policies mean routine, low-risk changes clear automatically while risky changes get flagged for review, so teams aren't stuck manually approving every field edit. On NetSuite, SoD and UAR tools give compliance and audit teams a continuous, defensible record of who has access to what and why, instead of a scramble at audit time. On Salesforce, Access Management tools deliver that same continuous access visibility — tracking specific Permission Set/Profile assignments, field-level access, and Report/Dashboard folder access — backed by pre-built Access Reports and tools like Access Review Assistant and User Activity, so teams can review access and check login history before deactivating a user. Data Tracking extends that same change control to configuration data itself, such as Salesforce CPQ pricing and discount rules, closing a gap that field history reports alone can't cover. Environment Comparison and clean up tools reduce the risk of failed sandbox-to-production deployments and shrink the account by safely removing unused customizations. For teams already running change management through Jira, ServiceNow, or Zendesk, the integrations bring that same impact analysis and change reconciliation into the ticketing systems they already use. Flashlight for NS gives smaller teams and nonprofits a free way to get documentation and basic tooling in place, with a clear upgrade path to the enterprise products as compliance needs grow.
