The previous response is still accurate, but I think it is much better than competitors for the DevOPS lifecycle. I now use Copado extensively, which is a much more difficult to work with for Salesforce. It's a very easy use tool that intuitively makes a lot of sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If it could also sit somehow on top of Salesforce that'd be incredible. That way wouldn't have to jump back and forth in the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Gearset doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. It’s remarkably easy to pick up, and that simplicity translates directly into massive time savings for our team. The integration with our orgs has been seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could definitely use some reorganization so everything feels more structured and easier to navigate. I also find that working with managed packages can be a bit clunky; I’d love to see a more refined way to handle comparisons or migrations that involve installed packages.

I mostly use Gearset DevOps for metadata deployment. We have a limited number of licences and the software makes it easy to assign and switch licences between the different workstreams. It is easy to use and easy to save draft deployments to come back later and review, and refresh the comparison. I find it particularly useful when deploying from Test to Production as I can reuse the deployment from Sandbox to Test usually. The validation and checks that's provided is quite helpful to ensure a successful deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find sometimes the checks that are done pre-deployment are a bit too sensitive and suggest removing items from my deployment that don't need to be removed and doesn't affect deployment. I also ran into issues with different API versions that wasn't made clear that was the issue so I had to contact support as no one else in my team had come across this issue either. Support were really quick to get back to me and help me resolve my issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it’s connected by org and can pass changes through orgs makes things a lot easier—especially for higher-level updates like permission sets, new custom fields, custom objects, and similar items. I also like the ability to choose exactly which lines of code to include when sending a commit or PR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing i miss in gearset is the ability to see the specific code changes when creating a commit or PR, or when reviewing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool strikes an excellent balance between simplicity and power. Setup was impressively quick, which let us get started right away with a limited scope and then gradually expand our use as our strategy matured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the out-of-the-box integrations handle the vast majority of our use cases, we’ve run into a few limitations when trying to connect it to our more complex, custom ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform has been a major asset for managing multiple development environments, especially for a lean team like ours that supports a very large user base. It has significantly streamlined the way we reconcile internal and external projects that run in parallel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup felt like a bit of a “trial-and-error” process for us, as we worked through different options to find the best configuration for our specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease with which it is possible to create pipelines and the automatic management of conflicts. Furthermore, the ease of including relevant changes and navigating backups allows me to speed up the team's work and focus on important activities. Gearset DevOps takes the pressure off the release/DevOps part, which is really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Deployments or retrievals on complex orgs with many configurations can take longer than expected. - Sometimes the UI is not very responsive. - Restoring backups with many related records can be complicated. - The format in which CPQ configurations are saved allows for easy reading, but in cases of extensive use (e.g., thousands of block prices), it makes the repository significantly heavy.

I really like how Gearset DevOps stands out for our team with its ability to clone and combine deployments. This capability is a massive time saver because we can take multiple small verified packages from Q&A and merge them into one master release for production, maintaining our development velocity without losing the big picture during final releases. Additionally, I appreciate the seamless integration with our GitHub environment, ensuring our version control and deployments are always in perfect sync. The setup of Gearset was remarkably efficient as a hosted solution, without the need for local server installations or complex CLI configurations, and we could authenticate Salesforce orgs and GitHub repositories via OAuth quickly. The basic compare and deploy features were easy to learn, allowing us to start seeing value from the tool almost immediately. Gearset provided the professional-grade solution we needed without requiring our team to become command line experts overnight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While there isn't much to complain about, I do think the UI for the combine feature could be a bit more streamlined when you are dealing with a very high number of packages. When we have 15 or 20 small feature sets to merge, the selection screen can get a little crowded. Also love to see the observability dashboards become even more customizable. Right now, they are great for catching errors, but I'd like to be able to build more specific health check reports for our senior stakeholders directly within the Gearset interface.

Gearset continues to deliver strong features with great customer support. New products roll out all the time to empower DevOps engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While new features are rapid, we are seeing changes in how they are monetized. Seems each new feature comes with a new license requirement. We are finding Gearset to no longer be a perfect fit for a small team and others which were priced out are more competitive now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
