Flosum Reviews & Product Details

A truly complete solution: Flosum is the ONLY complete end-to-end DevSecOps solution that is 100% Salesforce Native. Flosum Backup & Archive allows you to safely, securely and reliably automate your Salesforce data and metadata backups and archives with the frequency that your organization needs to operate effectively. Unlike traditional solutions involving full and incremental backups, Flosum’s Composite Backup retrieves new, changed, and deleted data from Salesforce and joins it with the unchanged data already in your backup container. This innovative approach ensures significantly reduced backup time and complexity. Flosum also offers a DevOps solution that handles the full development lifecycle including merging components, version control, continuous deployments, static code analysis, user story management & regression testing. What Makes Flosum Different? 1. Backup and restore without manual steps. Backup and restore data automatically to ensure a predictable, full backup with simple restore processes. 2. Easily filter and archive Salesforce records. Speed up your Salesforce org while safely storing records for compliance requirements. Easily filter to find what you need to restore. 3. Choose your own data hosting options. Organizations can host their own backup data in their own way. This includes on the cloud, self hosted or on a public cloud (such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure), or on-premise behind your firewall for the ultimate in compliance. 4. Manage automations. Flosum allows you to turn off Workflows, Flows, Process Builder and Validation rules with a quick click. Meet your RTO, without any changes on restore and with no manual steps. 5. Build robust filters to select data. Easily find records to restore from your backup and archive.

"Flosum makes code management and deployments a breeze"

5/5

What do you like best about Flosum?

Flosum is very intuitive and easy to use. I has a great static code analysis feature, and it also provides an efficient way for developers to do code reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

Flosum could make some minor improvements to the way it handles destructive changes. It would be nice if it ignored destructive changes for components that have already been deleted, but it instead throws an error. This means that a branch that includes destructive changes can be deployed only one time to any org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One stop solution for all your Salesforce release & deployment needs."

5/5

What do you like best about Flosum?

Flosum is great native deployment tool with excellent Customer Support. It has got most simple and intuitive user interface which enables quick onboarding and shortens learning curve ultimately resulting in quick implementation.

It is very first to have it’s own native version control feature which is quite advanced. You still have flexibility to integrate with other version control tools out there in market.

Data migration with Flosum is 100% native and secure. You don’t need to use third party solutions or work with your info-sec to review and approve third party solutions. Since it is built on Salesforce, it doesn’t involve opening up access or modifying firewall rules.Flosum can integrate with pretty much any other tool, application, or system in the Salesforce ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

It depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Can't think of any drawbacks for simple small/mid-size implementation. Just minor challenges which are can be resolved by working with support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The tool offers alot but delivers on little."

1/5

What do you like best about Flosum?

There are several features that other solutions do not offer that would be very useful if they worked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

That the solution is far worse in reality than what they promise. There are bugs and issues everywhere in the solution.

I would suggest the Flosum team to really improve their testing process, their user experience, and their support as they just refer all issues to "this is working as expected". If that is the case, then no one should use this tool. If they at least agreed that the issues is issues and they will take care of it as soon as possible, it would be a different story.

"Review of Flosum as a meta data and data migration application"

5/5

What do you like best about Flosum?

Flosum allows you to identify changes in a Salesforce by the individual, component type, component name and the results can be filtered by time range from all time to changes made within the last few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

There are some objects that cannot be migrated with Flosum, but most of those limitations are not due to the limitations of Flosum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are migrating changes from lower-level environments to other non-production environments to support testing. The changes are then bundled into releases to prepare for the production go-live. The bundles are deployed to the UAT and Training environments to practice the deployment to production during the go-live. We are also migrating data used to configure the application that is not deemed as meta-data. Flosum handles all of the relationships between objects so there is no complex activities required to move the data and to keep the data in synch across the environments.

"Game-changer for any Salesforce team"

5/5

What do you like best about Flosum?

Native Salesforce UI makes learning and adopting Flosum very easy. Powerful change management and DevOps functionality are second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flosum?

Honestly there isn't a list of things I dislike, even after using Flosum for 5+ years I can't think of anything about this product I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?

A rock-solid Agile LIfecycle Management solution that everyone on our team (admins, BAs, developers) can use quickly and effectively to manage version control, access control (no more phantom changeset deployments to restricted testing sandboxes or Prod!), continuous integration, impact analysis prior to deployment, full rollback control, and release management between all our orgs. We have seen a MASSIVE decrease in bugs and lifecycle velocity as a result. What takes 6+ hrs/week with Git now happens in minutes or happens automatically for us. If you're still using Bitbucket / Git / Pipelines to manage your Salesforce environments, you are throwing away money, get a trial of Flosum going ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
