Very efficient tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ishan S. | System Admin, Computer & Network Security, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** It is a fantastic product for tracking and transferring metadata for Salesforce from UAT to production. Any features that may have been implemented prematurely or that were required for more review can be removed. Additionally, it's reasonably priced (although our cost could increase dramatically). **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Although I haven't really seen anything wrong with Gearset, I do wish you could generate a metadata dictionary using the information it collects. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Once the release is complete, it is advantageous to roll back the deployment to the salesforce if something was done incorrectly by accident. An effective problem analyzer will help with this. Automation is wonderful. The Version Control System between Salesforce and the other way around is also reliable. By advising adding dependencies, we can deliver complicated metadata without problems. ### 2. Good tool to use for Decent size org **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** UI is good and better than as compare to competitors to adjust to your need. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Doesnt cover all the use cases yet though looking forward to future enhsncements. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifying CI and CD process with UI interface. ### 3. Gearset is my DevOps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Akash M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The best part is comparing and keeping a sync between the orgs, this might not be a big concern to some but I am working on a complex org and means a lot to me. Also, I can save deployments and comparisons and a well described deployment history. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I think one downside could be that I cannot save a filter once I select a default filter or standard filter **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team collaboration ### 4. Gearset is great for deploments **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul R. | Salesforce Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Like the fact that it effectively compares source to target allowing you to appreciate changes but also identify inconsistencies. Also like that you can backup. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Now and again it brings over unexpected settings. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Beats using change-sets by far, allows for separation of concerns, enables collaboration. ### 5. Very useful tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Taylor H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** It is very easy to compare differences between two Salesforce Orgs and deploy any changes. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I haven't really run into anything that I don't like about Gearset, but I wish you could create a metadata dictionary with the data it captures. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy comparisons and deployments between Salesforce orgs and an easy-to-use data backup and restore function. ### 6. Gearset reduces the painpoints of Deployment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kalaiarasan T. | Senior Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset helps deploy Salesforce to salesforce, salesforce to the version control system and vice versa. Gearset Problem analyser and Rollback are helpful. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Need to simplify the custom filter options.Need more automation process. Request to simplify CI/CD Process. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rollback - It benefits from reverting the deployment to the salesforce once the release is complete when we did wrong by mistakenly. Automation is fantastic, and a problem analyzer will be good for this. Also, the Version control system to salesforce and vice versa is sound. ### 7. Great tool for introducing DevOps to Salesforce Customers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joël K. | Solution Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I like the ability to track the deployments through the monitoring option which allows you to track changes that happened to an org (especially production) and to rollback changes. Within Salesforce development that has always been a nightmare. Additionally, the data deployment module is great for complex CPQ deployments Gearset is also great for deploying permissions from profiles. Normally this is a lot of manual work, but the ability to partially deploy profiles saves us of having to set this up manually per org. Recommended at 3 customers and all of them love it. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** comparing packages or including the package to the metadata comparison is confusing. It should be possible to exclude dependencies on purpose **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Profile deployment issues, partially deploying profiles saves us a lot of time - recommending to add dependencies, allows us to deploy complex metadata without issues - data deployment for CPQ, saves us days of data migration effort - org monitoring allows us to rollback changes within one click ### 8. Super time saver **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dwayne S. | Principal Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Great tool for taking the complexity out of dev ops. Relativity easy to use. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** The price. It can get quite expensive once you have added all the sub products to the main product. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Limitation with Salesforce change sets and data loading tools. Like being able to reply changes to standard pick list or managed package fields and objects. Then being able to deploy data and related data. ### 9. Best Salesforce DevOps tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hitesh J. | Business Application Manager - Salesforce, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** New Features for Comparism of multiple sandboxes **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Calculation time is one thing which takes time. Although, its the on saleforce org size. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** DevOps Solution, Org Comparing and Data Model Identification, Feature Asset tracking ### 10. Easy DevOps for Salesforce Admins **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff B. | Sr. Mgr, Revenue Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Pipelines and automations, the ability to quickly deploy into multiple environments from one screens cuts down on overhead tremendously and allows us to keep all environments in sync **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** The integrations between slack, JIRA, and bitbucket feels like there is much to be desired. Being able to use bitbucket pipelines natively and trigger automations from JIRA all while alerting Slack channels would be amazing. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Handling merge conflicts and permission changes across the many settings that Salesforce has is one of the coolest new features that is now allowing us to have even more automations ### 11. Gearset Helps Make Deploying Significantly Easier **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Susan D. | Salesforce Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset makes it very easy to see the differences between Salesforce instances, so you can see exactly what changes you are deploying. Also, if a package fails validation because of a missing item, it is easy to add the missing item or refresh the comparison with additional metadata. The user interface is great and very intuitive to use. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** It sometimes takes a very long time for Gearset to run a comparison between two Salesforce instances, especially for larger deployments. It is also a little tricky to deploy items associated with a managed package, such as a custom field on an object from a managed package. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gearset helps us to deploy much faster than the standard Package Components. We also have the Enterprise version, which allows us to easily roll back changes when needed. ### 12. I have found Gearset to be very helpful for backup and change set deployment. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katleen G. | Salesforce Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The ease of use when looking for data in backup and the ease of use when working with change sets. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I have not found anything so far. All is well. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backup solution and change set solution ### 13. Amazing tool that transforms devops! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick R. | Senior Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Automated Deployments, Ability to Rollback. Data backups and automatic dependencies have transformed our processes dramatically. We could not longer operate Salesforce deployments without gearset **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Not a lot, the only thing I could really see beng improved is some things around managed packages, such as automatic disabling of flows and validation rules if seeding data to sandboxes. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Since moving to Gearset we have managed to speed up our deployment time significantly and has given us the ability to do automated rollbacks which has reduced risk across all our deployment processes. Gearset backups along with high frequency backups enable us to have a continuous backup strategy and restoring data can be done very quickly. The biggest part of the metadata deployments that has helped us significantly is the dependencies, which presents everything to us to make error free deployments. Static code analysis has also helped improve our code quality by providing best practice code modifications. For our admins, Gearset has allowed us to seamlessly ensure changes that are made to the system are automatically fed back into our version control solution using continuous deployments. Above all, the support they offer is honestly the best support experience I have ever experienced. In-app chat is extremely efficient, and they have even had developers work on feature's requested extremely quickly along with implementing fixes if required. Highly recommend! **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can now simplify and automate our salesforce deployments. Being able to rollback has increased our deployment strategy because change control are happier and also deployments have less risk. ### 14. The product is as people say it is, but the acquisition process needs help. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The product itself is incredible and easily sells itself! The pricing is also extremely competitive for the industry and very functional and easy to use (lots of bang for the buck) **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** The Sales Team. Extremely rigid, impersonal, and pushy. I've had better experiences at used car lots, no kidding. During the demo, the manager scoffed at my questions and the guy offering the demo didn't do much to sell his own product, and we were getting spammed with emails almost daily pressuring us towards approving the purchase despite us repeatedly telling him that it's going to take weeks with our approval process. This is in addition to zero wiggle room with discounts until you're a massive company (11 gearset users if my memory serves me right). I've almost walked away from the deal several times for the sales experience alone, but the product itself keeps pulling me back. If we could have purchased without a middle man, I'd be all over it. Gearset should take note of this...if the Sales team is pushing potential customers away from the product, something isn't right. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** As we continue to scale, having a change process is imperative, and having a past in the DevOps world, Gearset is the clear winner, especially for the price. Additionally backing up critical data is one of the most lacked components of Salesforce implementations, and Gearset handles this very well (OwnBackup is the king of backup, but Gearset does 95% of the functionality at a fraction of the cost). ### 15. Great tool, great training, great service, and great support! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David S. | Senior Application Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset is a very user-friendly application that makes data and metadata deployment easy and gives you a great deal of confidence in the outcome. The backup tool is excellent as well, and very easy to work with and manage. It's the service and support that makes Gearset stand out, though. Whether it's the regular check-ins and training sessions with Customer Success Managers like Will Addison, or the prompt and thorough responses from the Support Engineers through Gearset's online chat function, I highly recommend Gearset for your Salesforce deployment and backup needs. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I've not run into anything with Gearset that would rank in the "dislike" column. Outside of the Change Sets tool within Salesforce, I had never previously used any other tool for deployments. But with the support I received, the ease of use of the tool, and the increased functionality that Gearset brings to deployments (think 'Version Control') this has hands-down been a great investment. 500 deployments and counting! **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Go for it, you won't regret it! Gearset will be with you from the beginning and work hard to ensure your success with the tool. That level of support alone makes it a worthwhile investment. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our organization wanted to 'level-up' our deployment processes by beginning a version-control process. Gearset has expertise in this area, as well as online documentation and free training! This helped deepen my understanding of how the process should look and how it should work, and helped me step-by-step to get the process implemented. ### 16. Gearset is the best tool I've used for Deployments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carmen H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The Comparison tool is awesome - as well as the ability to build reusable deployment packages: Great for quick deployments Great for deployments from the Community Cloud Unpredictable, but can be great with deployment large Profile changes Great for sharing deployment environments, building reusable deployment packages Great for using some of the best features of DX, without having actually having to learn/know DX Great for pulling from code repositories **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Price - it's a bit expensive and the requirement to have a license for each potential user instead of just allowing to deactivate and reallocate users doesn't work the best if you're a consultant firm working with several different clients across multiple environments, as well as multiple resources who will only temporarily need a license instead of a persistent one. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Gearset is a powerful deployment tool, it may be expensive, but there is a lot of time saved on training on the tool, configuration, or even just maintaining the operation. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great for quick deployments Great for deployments from the Community Cloud Unpredictable, but can be great with deployment large Profile changes Great for sharing deployment environments, building reusable deployment packages Great for using some of the best features of DX, without having actually having to learn/know DX Great for pulling from code repositories We wanted to recommend Gearset to one of our clients as part of Continuous Integration strategy- but the expense of the tool was blocker ### 17. Essential tool with incomparable customer service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Monica T. | Graphic Designer/Branding Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Super straightforward to use, always improving, and easy for users to switch to that are used to other deployment options like changesets. I use it every day for deployments, validating new developments, checking on automated unit testing and metadata monitoring in our Production org, continuous integration of our declarative changes, and I use it for general troubleshooting of Salesforce work when needed. The ability to rollback a deployment is an important feature, especially when we often have many dev teams working in the same environments. The Gearset team also has incredible customer service with an in-app chat that is quick and helpful. They welcome feedback and take it seriously, making our opinions as users feel valued. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There's not a lot of admin tools within Gearset to help manage the team outside of the user setup, licensing, and org sharing. Not that it's very necessary to everyday processes, but it's sometimes hard to troubleshoot someone else's access from afar. Thankfully though it is easy to share draft deployments and validated package errors with each other to troubleshoot those kind of issues. Being able to organize metadata filters in folders or other methods would also be helpful since they are shared across all users, but it's also on us as a team to keep them organized and clean up unused/older filters. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** If you're considering Gearset I recommend getting a demo and checking out their documentation on their site. Also ask others in the community that use Gearset for input, many are happy to share their experiences! **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gearset has greatly improved our speed and efficiency with our deployment process, monitoring code coverage, and through creating a continuous integration process that we did not have before. Deployments are a collaborative effort thanks to Gearset, and it's enabled our SFDC Admins to participate in the deployment process and have an alternative to time consuming changesets that can't be rolled back. ### 18. A terrific product with great customer service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric K. | Salesforce.com Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The product makes doing source control-based SFDC dev ops a breeze. Our org used to use ant scripts to do this and could only do that for apex/visualforce. Now, we can manage all config changes including objects, flows, layouts, managed package customizations and even settings. The visual interface is easy to understand and supports both sprint release cadences or story-by-story release devops. Integration with automated CI is super helpful in spotting issues early And, since the product exploits the Metadata API, Gearset stays on top of every change from SFDC so users are never left behind. Even the most esoteric issues can be handled by their customer support team who are available by live chat. Sometime, even the CEO gets onto the chat to help a user out. Their online FAQ and blogs are regularly updated. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Nothing at all - I suppose there are some outstanding UserVoice items that I'd like to see addressed for ease of use items **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Superb customer service Easy to understand user interface An easy transition for users of Change Sets **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Full transparency of all devops; usable by every sfdc developer and admin. Our deployments are more reliable. Our deployments can't be circumvented with any ad hoc procedures. ### 19. Miles above the standard Salesforce Change sets. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan R. | Salesforce Administrator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset makes comparing two Salesforce Orgs to one another and deploying the changes as simple as a few clicks. No more clicking through individual objects and trying to remember that Process Builders aren't stored in a section called "Process Builder" like you have to with the standard Salesforce change sets. It even helps find dependencies and lets you add them before attempting a deployment. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** My only dislike is that there is no easy way to modify the metadata directly without dumping the package into a zip file and opening it locally. This causes some headache when trying to deploy things between orgs like Approval Processes and Email Alerts because the Usernames don't exist in the target org. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Overall Gearset saves time and headaches. The pricing does seem a little steep at first until you see how much time it saves you. If you're doing more than a couple minor changes every week, the time saves by using Gearset easily makes up for the cost. Also, the Gearset team is great to work with, everyone is friendly and willing to help as much as possible. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am currently copying an entire Salesforce Org to another Salesforce Org and Gearset is making the process a breeze. I couldn't imagine doing this with the standard Salesforce change sets. ### 20. By far one of the best services out there for anyone working with Salesforce. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Evren T. | Salesforce Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** There are so many things I love about Gearset, but I'll keep this short. Gearset has without a doubt sped up our development cycle drastically when it comes to metadata deployments to the point where we're practically using it daily with just a 2 man tech team here. This allows us to focus more on development and less on the pains that come with deploying what we've developed. It's an incredibly smart tool that lets you know what will help your deployment succeed which is super helpful when deploying many changes in one deployment. It's quick, it's got preset filters that cover just about everything you'll need, documentation on how to deploy just about everything properly, and if you have any questions, they've got truly amazing support. I can't remember a time where I've reached out to support where a reply wasn't instant. Also, their support agents are engineers that know the product and Salesforce inside and out, so we've never had an issue that we couldn't solve. There's been a few times I had issues with a deployment due where the agent stuck with me through the whole process, helping me out until it was resolved. It really doesn't get any better than this. I've recommended Gearset to everyone I know in the Salesforce community and will continue to do so. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** The only thing I would say I dislike currently is their data deployments, but this is a product that's still in development, so I won't judge them by it. It's just lacking features, like preserving old IDs when deploying into a new org. That's really the only thing, but they let us know directly that this is being worked on and took our feedback seriously, so I expect great things from their data deployments in the future. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Metadata deployments, comparisons, backups are all possible for such a low cost compared to other services and tools that do such a poor job in comparison but charge a ton more. ### 21. Gearset passed the PoC phase with other competitors and is the best tool matching to our needs **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** • Tool UI is quite friendly, and it was quite easy for the Team to get onboarded to. • Saves us a lot of development time as we can push changes to our test environment quickly with Delta CI. I would say we now spent only 1/3 of the deployment time compared to our previous setup. • Good analytics around different dev ops operations. Ex. we now have a usable method to determine and report on our org code coverage. This is helpful to identify when we need to improve the code coverage and fix issue early before release. • Data deployment tool has also been easy to do the migration template setup. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** • I find the “compare and deploy” feature to not work as expected as it can often display false positive difference in the metadata. Sometimes my metadata from version control is not correctly detected by Gearset and it produces an unwanted deployment (delete) • Delta CI job stops working as it cannot detect new metadata changes when we add more components in filter. The workaround is to setup a new CI job with the desired filter, run it once, and then enable job as delta. • We sometimes face authentication issue between Gearset and Gitlab and it blocks our daily work. I’m not sure what’s the cause as there isn’t much information from the error displayed. • For data deployment we faced some limitations such as we cannot perform update on Pricebook entry object. The upsert operation fails on that object. • For data deployment some more features enhancements are expected such as below : o Ability to combine different data configuration templates in one plan to execute one by one. o For Data masking, we need the ability to define the values that we want to mask to rather than fixed values. this can help in many different use-cases. would be an actual ETL (extract, transform and loading) tool. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We want to have a good balance between saving development time and the ability to detect issues as early as possible so we could implement a fix. Gearset has done that with the implementation of Delta CI. ### 22. Gearset for salesforce **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pramod V. | Senior Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** CI/CD Process and Org to Org deployment for salesforce **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** none all well now as of now.Login is easy.Registration of Git is mandatory **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Salesforce deployment is easy. Continous integration and Continous Deployment is easy.Commit is easy ### 23. Helpful tool for Salesforce **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jarrod H. | Senior Tools Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I like the comparisons, and when it works I like the auto tests selection to avoid running all tests on a deploy. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There is a lot of jumping back and forth to github. When Unit Tests cannot be found it doesn't have a way to specify the tests to run in place of auto tests selection. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Begin early with Gearset and Salesforce, don't wait because it will make things difficult to swap. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a large team and numerous departments and preventing broken code was an issue that is now fixed by CI/CD. We have our non-dev admins on gearset and all changes in source control which is great. ### 24. My Experience with Gearset **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stepan R. | Technical Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Handling profiles is very useful - e.g. when you add a new field and you need to add one particular permission Gearset makes it easier. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I would appreciate inline editing - e.g. when someone changes the profile and you change the profile you want to merge those changes - not overwrite. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Gearset is probably the best tool in this category I have used. Still I think there is a room for improvement. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team members who make declarative changes only don't need to install IDE and understand Salesforce metadata in such a detail so you don't need to train them that much - one hour session is fine. ### 25. Great tool for easy deployments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset offers an easy solution for a big pain within salesforce. Everything is straight forward and easy understandable. There was acutally no need for us to test other tools. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Actually there is nothing that bugs me. Ofc loading times for comparison are long, but I guess there is nothing to be changed about. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** The confusing deployment process of salesforce gets an easy and configurable frontend which helps us to deploy from gitlab to our prod box. This increased the speed our deployment enormously. ### 26. Gearset Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Renee R. | Senior Salesforce Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The Gearset team was very accomodating during the setup process. The daily monitoring feature that shows differences is very helpful. Creating our own templates for multiple deployments. Ease of use. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There has not been anything that has not worked as expected. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** This is a very nice tool that is not as overpriced as some of the others that I had demoed. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can now keep the sandboxes in sync with the production environment. Data recovery is now possible. Monitoring when meta changes are made to keep everyone in the know. ### 27. Revolutionized our Development and Release Process **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew C. | Lead Salesforce Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset eliminates changesets. The visual comparison is amazing for determining differences, whether it be in a single file or a giant metadata release of 4000+ items. The ability to Validate and Save draft deployments has been invaluable for us, as well as the ability to collaborate as a team to build out large deployments. The integration with Source Control (github, for us) is seamless, and I can clone deployments, changing only the target, to save time and effort of recreating a deployment. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** We have not had much luck using the Data Deployment tool - and it is not capable of determining changes. However, we have spoken to Gearset specifically about CPQ data, and it seems that this might be something they are working on. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Gearset, exclusively, for all metadata deployments across our entire tree of Orgs (Prod, UAT, Integration, and Dev sandboxes). We are able to deliver changes both large and small quickly and accurately to our Users, and we're able to maintain our Source Code branches with minimal additional work. ### 28. I am addicted already **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vsevolod T. | Senior Salesforce Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I don't need to remember what was changed and where I need to deploy the updates! Managing multiple environments and keeping sanity is real now. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Versions. If the only difference is version OR API version it still shows as an updated component **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Complete the training. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1) Keep sandbox, staging, and production environments in sync 2) Keep track of what changes were done by the power user (report types, reports, dashboards list views, email templates) ### 29. User friendly Salesforce deployments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin K. | Senior Salesforce Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Ease of use. The UI is very user friendly. But it is still a powerful tool. This way we can let developers use GIT and admin are now empowered to commit and deploy their stuff as well. Also history of comparison and deployments - awesome tool. Data migration - very easy to set up and migrate data. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** You can't pick what changes for one metadata file you want to pick, which lines specifically. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Better control of deployments from the repository. Improved visibility of changes coming in each deployment. ### 30. Gearset - best tool ever! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Greg L. | Senior Software Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The interface for the application is awesomely easy to understand, and it doesn't get any easier for me to compare or update one salesforce instance from another. Gearset has saved me so much time and has given me great piece of mind that what I'm deploying is correct. I also love customer support! They are prompt and really help out! **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** They make updates to the application almost every day...not for fixes to issues...but to upgrade functionality. This is a good thing, but it does distract me a bit when I'm doing a deployment since I have to stop and see what new features have been added. :) **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Well worth it... don't waste your time with other products. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have multiple salesforce instances, and it helps to save me time to move metadata between instances from other existing orgs. Gearset also helps us control our CI issues. ### 31. Best DevOps Tool Ever! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan M. | Lead Salesforce Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I have been a Gearset user for almost a year now and a Salesforce Dev for three years. I don't know how I survived the first two years without this software. I have always hated the DevOps side of the job, and while I still prefer the actual writing of the code, GS has made DevOps nigh painless. Deployments used to be a long and frustrating process. Thanks to the Continuous Integration and Metadata Filter features (which supports RegEx at the metadata item level), we have automated almost everything to run seamlessly off our Git repository branching model. As a result we are able to continously roll out new features without spending much time on DevOps. Despite being the defacto standard for Salesforce DevOps, the pricing is exceptionally reasonable, billed monthly without contracts. The support is top-notch and I am able to get help with any issues very quickly, even though these issues are 99%me doing something wrong; true "bugs" are very rare. They also roll out new features and enhancements constantly, and are very proactive about asking their customers for feedback to improve the platform. We have had product owners reach out to us to demo new features before they are released. I really cannot recommend this product highly enough. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There is nothing about Gearset that I dislike. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am one of only two developers at the company, and GS has allowed us to focus all our energy on building without outsourcing or hiring a DevOps engineer. If I were ever to leave my current role for a job that was unable or unwilling to pay for Gearset, I would pay out of pocket - it is that good of a product. ### 32. I don't know any other tool which makes salesforce deployment so transparent and controllable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Comparison tool, deployments history, git support **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Speed of the comparison, though I understand it is rather specifics of salesforce API than gearset **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building deployment packages from a git branch. Committing changes made in a sandbox into a development branch. ### 33. Easy to use for Developers & Admins **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Comparison feature is a key differentiator to Change Sets - Very easy to see the differences in metadata between environments to ensure that you're not overwriting anything that shouldn't be overwritten, and a sense of security that you are deploying exactly what should be deployed. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Integration with Github / source control could be improved to be more admin/non-developer friendly. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Auditability / history tracking, and integration with source control. ### 34. An amazing tool for managing migration of metadata from salesforce org to another **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I think one of the most powerful tools is the side-by-side comparison of the metadata in two different orgs. Deployments aside, the ability to make comparisons between orgs has helped troubleshoot issues, in development and in operations. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** management of draft deployments is somewhat non-intuitive. I usually have to create numerous drafts for the same deployment that i am planning. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** This is a fantastic tool for salesforce teams that have frequent deployments, that need to management them easily and safely. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I first got gearset to avoid the annoyances of changesets in salesforce, as well as share data between production orgs -- there are multiple orgs between which we had to share metadata. Gearset allowed us to do that easily, deployments take far less time with gearset (even within the same org structure), and it is safer -- we don't overwrite others changes with changesets, etc. We also use it for troubleshooting issues that exist in one org and not in another. The comparison feature is great! ### 35. The product is amazing and continues to be enhanced! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin A. | S, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** There are two things. The customer service and response time and also being able to deploy data as well as metadata! **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Not being able to deploy data with the metadata, but that is currently being worked on! **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** A streamlined deployment process and the ability to rollback! ### 36. Senior Tools Engineer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samuel B. | Senior Tools Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** line by line comparisons with the comparison tool continuous integration **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** there have been a lot of times my deployments would fail because it wasn't picking the right test classes **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** developers over-writing other developer's code; lost changes ### 37. Couldn't do my without it **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kaleb H. | Sr. Salesforce Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Simplicity, Gearet does exactly what it needs to do at the right price. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Native slack notifications for successful deployments would be a nice touch, but no complaints. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Deploying declarative SFDC customization daily ### 38. Deployment made easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** We've been using Gearset for the past 3 years and have made over 1,000 deployments. The cloud-based system makes deployment much easier. Everything is centralized, searching for past deployments is easy, metadata support is robust, and deployments can be scheduled. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Updating credentials after a sandbox refresh can be a bit more seamless. Right now you only get notified of a login failure after you start a comparison. It fails to log in and you have to click away to a different part of Gearset to re-authorize. It would be better if you're taken straight to the re-authorize screen from a login failure in the Compare wizard. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Environment comparison and deployments are now much more efficient and searchable. ### 39. Excellent Tool for SFDC Developers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset makes building changesets and comparing between orgs super easy. The ootb changeset mechanism from sfdc is extremely clumsy; it takes a long time to add different components and it's easy to miss something, leading to delays. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Honestly, it's prety hard to nit-pick. I think that it is pretty comprehensive, and just as importantly, it's very easy to use. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Setup the trial. I'm sure after you use it for just a single changeset, you'll be sold. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've gotten great benefits simply from being more efficient at creating changesets. I realize that there is more to Gearset than that, but it's amazing how much better Gearset is when compared to what sfdc provides. ### 40. Excellent tool for metadata deployments with lots of extra features **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** There are two things that really make Gearset stand out: 1. The ability to review and compare two separate orgs and see the actual differences between the orgs as the deployment package is being put together. 2. The ability (if you add this feature) to rollback changes if they end up being not as desired. I've only had to use this feature a couple of times but each time it was a lifesaver. Huge win. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** If you have used other metadata deployment tools, you may find that the ability to choose which set of metadata to compare could be made easier in Gearset vs some other tools. For example another tool allows switching between Metadata types with a dropdown menu. The tool then loads the data to compare realtime. For quick comparisons it tends to be faster than Gearset. However the robust nature of the Gearset toolset means that Gearset is still my go-to-tool for deployments. If Gearset would make the metadata selection experience more streamlined it would be fantastic. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Take advantage of the free trial. Use it for 30 days and see if you like it. If you've never used a deployment tool, it will make your life a lot easier. Highly recommend this tool. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gearset has improved deployment times by anywhere from 10%-75% depending on the use case. The ability to easily compare two orgs has saved us a lot of time. We can see issues where another change has been deployed from another sandbox (or been made directly in production by another person without our knowledge) and then take corrective action. Also as mentioned before, the rollback feature has saved us many hours in the couple of instances where we did need to rollback. ### 41. The best Salesforce DevOps solution. PERIOD! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Austin G. | Software Developer II, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Ease of use, clean UI, automated test jobs, ease of integration with Salesforce, VC repos, and other applications. It just works! The in-app chat for support is excellent - the response time, follow through, and communications are absolutely top notch. I cannot say enough good things about how the positive experience we have had interacting with everything Gearset. From the sales team, to the support, to the app itself - everything has been excellent. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** My only complaint with the app features is the inability to search all data backups simultaneously for a particular data point. Areas that could use improvement but are not deal breakers: Better/ smarted metadata comparison, exclusion of managed metadata and code while not excluding custom extensions of managed objects. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** Just do it. We compared all the major Salesforce DevOps vendors and Gearset was the clear winner by a mile. Only consideration is that because it is a cloud hosted product connecting to in-house hosted applications via VPN is not possible. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gearset allows us to have more developed and mature DevOps / CICD pipeline that is much more efficient and transparent than we could get from anything else. We were previously using change sets and Gearset is infinitely better. The Gearset trial was full featured and by the end we had the integration fully set up, were using the product in our dev pipeline, and we just rolled into a subscription without having to reconfigure or change anything. Hit the ground running! ### 42. great, affordable and must to have product **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** It automates a lot of time-consuming deployment tasks. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Sometimes not so user-friendly for newbies. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuous integration to enable well-structured and quality feature development Continuous delivery, enabling each team to work independently and deploy live new features, with no bottlenecks. ### 43. Gearset is the best deployment tool I've used! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris F. | Salesforce Systems Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The ease of use when moving Metadata AND Data between sandboxes and production instances of Salesforce, The ability to add/remove items as needed and troubleshoot deployments in real time. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Sometimes loading the instances can take longer than I'd like to wait, but it's never very long. I believe there is an option to cache the sandboxes that I need to look at. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping our sandboxes and production in sync. Developing in lower environments and moving up to production to reinforce good hygiene and reduce data debt. Overall establishing a protocol that will keep us in a good place. ### 44. Amazing tool for Salesforce DevOps that keeps getting better **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew Y. | IT System Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** The metadata comparison and deployment features are better than any other tools are very powerful. You can easily view and include dependencies and related metadata in deploys and search and filter to locate specific metadata very easily. I have also been impressed at how often Gearset continues to add features and improve on the existing features. Support has been very responsive anytime a question has come up. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Prior to deployment, Gearset will give warnings or possible errors to be aware of with the metadata that is planned for the deploy. While this is normally pretty useful for catching missing items or manual steps before attempting the deploy, there are at times false positives, so it takes some time to know what is applicable for each use case. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Committing metadata to version control, monitoring Salesforce orgs for changes, deploying code, and automating test execution. Gearset helps simplify each of these tasks greatly through an intuitive and powerful interface. ### 45. Geared Up and All Set: Gearset provides invaluable tools for managing Salesforce development **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan H. | Senior Salesforce Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I most heavily use the Comparison feature, which gives a fine-grained, easy to work with comparison of the metadata in two salesforce orgs. With all the options to filter the comparison, filter and search the results, and drill down into the exact details of detected changes, I've used it in a variety of situations to excellent effect. Most commonly we then use this to do deployments to related orgs, but we've used it for other applications including debugging and auditing. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There's not much to dislike here. Like any cloud-based software product with this kind of quality, licensing costs are not trivial, and may seem like a lot depending on the size of your business. But if you have any complexity in your salesforce projects, it will more than pay for itself in saved time and headaches. I've occasionally had problems with certain metadata not being visible, but this is usually resolved with a hard refresh of the browser. If that doesn't work, their support team has been very responsive and quickly corrected th issue in the next update (they are releasing updates almost daily). **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've saved an enormous amount of time doing deployments and identifying misaligned metadata between orgs. I've also been able to deploy metadata to orgs unrelated to the source org, which is very useful but not possible with traditional Change Sets. The more complex a development ecosystem is, the more Gearset has saved us time and headaches and prevented conflicting changes from producing errors. deployments, especially when a production org has multiple sandboxes and/or developers working on it. The highly configurable metadata comparisons can be very useful, even outside the context of deployment, and I have only dabbled with the numerous other capabilites offered like change monitoring, backups, data deployment, source control, etc. I'm looking forward to learning more about these other capabilites. ### 46. Gearset has been a huge boon for our Salesforce devops proesses **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason S. | CRM Technical Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** As a Salesforce integration/consulting partner, Gearset has been the cheapest money we've ever spent. When compared with changesets, Gearset is light years beyond in functionality and efficiency and compared with ANT, Jenkins or a similar "low-level" deployment method, Gearset is much more user friendly for those who don't want to be sitting in the command line just to deploy a package. Additionally, being able to compare deltas in metadata side-by-side greatly reduces the chances that something gets overwritten like with changesets---this is especially useful when it comes to profiles and other metadata that changesets deploys like a carpet bomb as opposed to specific permissions. Finally, the interoperability with Gearset with local files, git repos and scratch orgs in additional to Prod, Dev and Sandbox orgs allows us to easily manage a deployment lifecycle and devOps process. On top of all that, Gearset's support team has been one of the most responsive and helpful that I have experienced in this ecosystem. Finally, I'm loving the newest feature that they just released that automatically detects the test classes that you need to run for the deployment! **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** There are some shortcomings when it comes to comparing metadata that is part of managed packages. You have to manually include the namespaces you want to include, which really isn't so bad, but if the versions of the managed packages drift between your source and target orgs, the comparison will not work. However, I don't know of any other product like Gearset that has solved this and the current workaround is to do the comparison in VSCode. This is a pretty rare use case in our operations though. **Recommendations to others considering Gearset DevOps:** They offer a free trial for 30 days and if you try Gearset after slogging through deployments using changesets, I guarantee you'll never want to go back. If you are using the tool for the first time, I'm certain the Gearset onboarding team will be more than willing to help you get started setting up your first org comparison and deployment. After that, it will be smooth sailing with deployments, especially if you were using changesets in Salesforce before. Note that there are two tiers, Professional and Enterprise. At the time of this review, Professional retailed for $150/month per user and Enterprise retailed for $300/month per user. If you don't need automated code review, org monitoring, and continuous integration, but want a much more powerful way to handle deployments and org comparisons, the Professional Edition will get you very far. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Gearset mainly for deployment activities and in a few cases to manage continuous integration and more complex devOps processes that involve gitHub and many different developers. We have been able to speed up our deployments significantly for both admins and developers since the tool is easy enough to use by an admin and is orders of magnitude better than using changesets. We have also been able to set-up continuous integration for a few of our projects, which has cut down the time that has been needed for manual deployments in Gearset. Now, we can just merge approved pull requests to the master gitHub branch and the CI job in gearset automatically deploys the changes. ### 47. Amazing tool for Salesforce operations **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shubham N. | Technical Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** There are many things I like about Gearset: a. Compare 2 orgs, you can check if metadata is identical, different (also differences), deleted etc. b. It is challenging to move permissions in salesforce, but Gearset makes it easier. c. We can configure git branches directly with Gearset and create a seamless CI/CD pipeline. d. Run tests and configures multiple orgs. e. We can also download the validated components and add them to our Git branches. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** Compare, validate and deploy processes takes time, if that can be reduced, it would be great. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Gearset for moving selected metadata components. So we first check the components, validate them, and Gearset gives us any missing or additional dependency if required, that's the best part. We are also using Gearset to move permissions for objects, fields, layouts, etc. We have also used Gearset to configure Git webhooks and create CI/CD pipeline. ### 48. Hands Down the Best Salesforce DevOps product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chad K. | Sr. Director of Technical Architecture, Salesforce Practice, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** salesforce technical director and CTA here I've leveraged gearset since they launch and have done salesforce deployments with copado, changesets, ANT, jenkins, blue canvas, you name it. what I like about gearset is that it requires no package/footprint within the salesforce org and allows release managers, developers, admins the easiest approach to build and deploy packages what I also like about gearset is the fact that they don't try to be a source control product easily integrating with your best in class GIT cloud or on-premise source control. what I also like about gearset is how easy it is to setup continuous integration, with a few clicks you can setup whatever automation (SFDC >> GIT, GIT > SFDC, SFDC > SFDC) along with SMS and/or email notifications and it will reliably run. It takes away development and overhead of maintaining a jenkins solution so your team can focus on functionality (not devops automation) **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** only con is that gearset accessed your org from their AWS host in Ireland which throws some customers for a loop. I believe they are working on US based option. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gearset is super helpful if your team isn't great about documenting the deployment components for a given requirement/sprint/release. The gearset UI highlights the changes, allows users to collaborate on draft deployments and drive smoother releases ### 49. Best tool for Salesforce deployment management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Falco S. | Lead Salesforce Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** I love how easy the deploys are. The U/I is unmatched by other tools. Data backup is setup and forget level easy as well. Cross org deployments from comparisons/backups/metadata monitoring make losing any data a thing of the past. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** The data deploy interface could be more helpful with more preview data. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Gearset to simplify deployments and to remove the horrible experience that is changesets. We also use Gearset to backup all metadata. ### 50. DevOps for Salesforce - for developers AND admins **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Debra W. | Sr Manager & Technical Architect, IT Software Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2021 **What do you like best about Gearset DevOps?** Gearset understands the nuances of Salesforce deployment and how to monitor changes between orgs. Additionally, both developers familiar with the metadata packages and administrators without a dev background can leverage Gearset to create deployment packages, validate and deploy --- and rollback. The logging within the Gearset tool and connectivity to source control systems and SFDX make this an end-to-end package that simplifies our development lifecycle. **What do you dislike about Gearset DevOps?** I honestly can't think of anything I dislike about the package. **What problems is Gearset DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?** SDLC for Salesforce, consolidated process, code validations, deployment records/logging. We are able to easily detect and package changes between environments. Gearset also evaluates code and helps us weed out issues prior to promotion. The automation saves time for our entire team. Both developers and admins are able to use Gearset to compare and package changes, and we can configure rules for which users can deploy to specific environments. - [View Gearset DevOps pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/gearset-devops/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-19+06%3A42%3A16+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f3cc6531-9025-4bf5-956e-1ae4053d8368&secure%5Btoken%5D=b5776682689705faafa40f77268fb464cad7b04e9180c534797b99f250496650&format=llm_user) ## Gearset DevOps Integrations -
