"Flosum is an enabler of an efficient DevOps approach"
What do you like best about Flosum?

Before Flosum we were using change sets. As many of us know, this could (was) a real pain as it often is a repetititve, error prone and time consuming process.

Now that we are using Flosum, our release frequency went up exponentially and time spent on doing releases decreased significantly. The tool has it's own unique vision on how to do release management, but the approach is straightforward and the success portal (as well as the Flosum team itself) is also always there with extensive documentation in case help is needed.

Overall, Flosum allows us focus on developing, rather than losing time on deploying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

However there is a not-so-steep learning curve, there nevertheless are some concepts that you need to understand in order to be successful with Flosum. nevertheless, I don't see this as a negative, but rather as a prerequisite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It Was Amazing"
What do you like best about Flosum?

First of all, I was not aware of DevOps, so using Flosum for the first time made me really excited to learn. I felt terrific using Flosum. Creating Branches and connecting orgs are super easy using Flosum. Even the best part I liked was that it auto-resolved my conflicts, giving me less headache. Deploying components or scheduling deployment is so smooth in Flosum. Even I can connect Jira to my Flosum Org and track my stories. Connecting VS Code to Flosum made it easy to understand and work seamlessly. I would highly recommend using Flosum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

I could not find anything which others could dislike. All the features of flosum, like code reviews, impact analysis, snapshots, merge conflicts etc, are super fantastic feature. Don't see anything that the end user can dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Must try tool for Salesforce DevOps"
What do you like best about Flosum?

As a Salesforce DevOps working in the IT Industry, I have worked with quite a few Salesforce Deployment tools. After recommendation from my colleague, I Flosum and Instantly fell in love with it. It works on Salesforce platform so you don't have to learn the UI or install anything in your local system. We can create, edit, delete and merge branches from a single location. Can create pull requests and also resolve merge conflicts without opening any other window. We can also setup our deployment pipelines easily. It is a one stop solution to all the Salesforce DevOps Pain points. I will definitely recommend others to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

In terms of functionality, there's nothing not to like. A good part of our problems was fixed with the implementation of Flosum. The only thing that I would say is that the pricing is a bit on the higher side, also need to buy the license for the data migration tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flosum simplified life of salesforce developers"
What do you like best about Flosum?

It saved our developer's time by 40% keeping them on Salesforce platform. We don't need to train people on different tools for the deployment process. Flosum provides all capabilities from pulling the changes to a branch till deployment. Some key features that helped us a lot are, Branching strategy, SME reviews, Code quality monitoring, Conflict management, Security control for branches, Code comparision, Pipelines and deployment history tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

It will be great to have more adaptable plugins to connect SonarQube, JIRA, Rally and other useful applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
