"Copado: Future of Deployments"
What do you like best about Copado DevOps?

We can deploy different metadata types in one shot using its user story-centric deployment process.

It’s possible to merge the code of different developers by resolving the conflicts using the inbuild backend git tool before deploying to the environment.

We don’t need to create anything again and again to deploy the same changes to different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Copado - The next big thing!"
What do you like best about Copado DevOps?

Copado has excellent UI and it makes it easy to work with. Imagine using ANT, ANT is a great deployment tool and really easy to use, the same goes for Copado, but it comes with a neat UI in it so it is much more user-friendly in a way and does not really require too much technical knowledge to get it running.

Seamless deployments are one of Copado's top-selling points and it surely is as long as you commit all the right components and their necessary dependencies.

It can be integrated with most version control tools which is great in managing your code and metadata. It is fairly easy to setup and give it half a day and you have multiple pipelines ready to use Copado.

They have a vast knowledge base and a good success community but if those do not help you with your issues, they have fast support response times and have a plethora of knowledgeable agents so do not fear if you encounter issues. They are willing and able to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Copado DevOps?

Often times, Copado requires above-average technical knowledge in resolving problems under the hood. The usual route I take is if I can try to resolve it on my own, I try to do that first but if I cannot handle it I just have to create a support case, which is interesting as well as they tried to imitate Salesforce's case management but failed to add the CC option, which is a must in my case.

Another issue is regarding Einstein components, it might be a bit tricky but I guess the same sentiment goes for using change sets. I guess if the native Metadata API is having issues, it would not make sense for Copado to do any better since it is using Metadata API as well in deploying the metadata.

"Copado - #1 Salesforce DevOps Tool"
What do you like best about Copado DevOps?

It provides an integrated solution for deploying our changes through the pipeline management and also takes care of the test runs, coverage and static code analysis so that we can monitor the health of out application before sending to production and lessen the risk of vulnerable code present in prod. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Copado DevOps?

- I have faced issues regarding merge conflicts like feature branch remains clean but the promotion branch introduces few extra code due to which deployment fails and we need to edit the promotion manually.

- Sometimes have noticed the problem of the changes getting deployed to the environment but the git sync doesn't happen properly and it needs to be taken care manually.

- In case the changes doesn't have any errors but there is some coverage issue, it fails with warning and doesn't list out the coverage issues in the deployment page. We need to manually check the deployment status in the destination org which is an extra burden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Salesforce DevOps Solution"
What do you like best about Copado DevOps?

User stories allow for greater collaboration and visibility throughout the entire DevOps process. Pipeline Manager allows for clear visibility of where developments are deployed in the system landscape. Searching and locating components to bring into the change request is far superior than the tools provided by Salesforce. Using a git repository allows for clear snapshots of the system a certain points in time. The ability to make changes throughout the orgs without having to worry about accidentally bringing in a change from someone else is great to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Copado DevOps?

I wish the functionality of ClickDeploy (which is owned by Copado) for immediately seeing a visual representation of whether a change component is changed, same, new, etc. as the target org was brought into Copado. The error reporting could also be better; sometimes it's not entirely clear what exactly is wrong with the deployment and what needs to be done to correct it. I've had cases where the error that is reported does not make complete sense based on what I find in the git repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
