Flosum Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate Flosum for its incredibly comprehensive DevOps solution which, unlike Salesforce's DevOps Center, offers functionalities such as rollback, code versioning, and code quality analysis, which we greatly missed before. The ability to view the change history is especially useful for development control and security. Additionally, the integrated backup solution is a valuable feature, providing an additional layer of security for our data in Salesforce. The initial transition was very smooth, evidenced by the quick integration of our teams, which reinforces the platform's efficiency and usability. This comprehensive set of features was decisive in our migration from other solutions, and I did not hesitate to recommend it to other colleagues, given the positive impact it has had on our operations.

I believe that the DevOps solution should have greater segmentation of access and security, with the possibility of segmenting access to pipelines or other resources within the branch. In the backup solution, it would be interesting to have the possibility to transfer data between orgs, such as removing data from org A and transferring it to B.

Flosum makes Salesforce DevOps simple, secure, and native. I love that I can manage releases, track changes, and ensure compliance — all without leaving Salesforce. Very easy to use. We have been using it for our DevOps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a slight learning curve and a few areas where the user experience could be more intuitive, but once you’re familiar with it, the platform works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Flosum is its simplicity and Salesforce-native approach. It makes release management, version control, and deployments much easier without needing complex third-party integrations. The user-friendly interface, automated workflows, and strong security features save a lot of time and reduce deployment errors. I also appreciate the excellent customer support, which is always responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Flosum is very effective overall, the initial setup and configuration can feel a bit complex for new users. The UI could also be more modern and intuitive in certain areas. Additionally, since it is Salesforce-native, it sometimes feels limiting when compared to tools that integrate with multiple platforms. However, once the learning curve is managed, the experience becomes much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, this is simply a superior release manager when compared to Salesforce’s built-in deployment manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When deploying non-apex components to Production, I still find that unit tests are required. It's possible that I'm missing an option or perhaps not using the process correctly. To get around this requirement, I usually include an apex test file with my deployment, even if it's not actually necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to merge into the release branch ensures that changes made to the same components by different team members do not overlap. This helps maintain a smooth workflow and prevents conflicts during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flosum offers the unique possibility of combining a full-blown release management suite with the flexibility of Salesforce itself.

The tool is easy to use for starters in the Salesforce ecosystem, but also established experts can find all the features they need to fine-tune complex release landscapes and respective processes.

Big plus: New features are released regularly and you can feel that the Flosum team really listens to the feedback of their customers when designing their product roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside comes not from Flosum itself, but from the architectural fact that it is in the end hosted on Salesforce platform itself, meaning that it also needs to adher all Salesforce platform limits, sometimes causing performance issues. However, solutions to these bottlenecks are already being developed afaik. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we started using DevOps for our deployment, we were a bit confused with which tool to go ahead with as there were a number of tools available which promised to solve our needs. There were Copado, CircleCI, Gearset, Autorabit etc all of which were promising to solve our needs.

To plan our deployment strategy we delved into the details based on:

1. ROI

2. Time required to develop the most requested feature.

3. Price to quality ratio

In all of these parameters, we found Flosum standing par from all of its competitions. If I am to speak about the features which hammered my trust with the tool are the Environment Variables which reduces the post deployment time significantly, Partial branch deployment which means you can select which components from the branch you can deploy leaving behind the rest without any issues.

Ofcourse the factor of being 100% native to Salesforce is absolutely a feather in the cap.

Honestly, this is the best tool I have used so far. Thank you so much Flosum team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
