Flosum Revamped Change Sets for Salesforce Deployments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Skyelar H. | Salesforce Solution Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Flosum?** Filter settings on pull requests and validating / deploying branches, customer service, and constant useful enhancements being put out by the organization. **What do you dislike about Flosum?** We have no issues with Flosum. The only thing I might recommend is being able to pull components from a snapshot prior to it being fully completed. **What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?** We follow a standard SDLC policy and using change sets out of the box can be a tedious process. This gives my team the ability to run their own snapshots effectively, cleanly, and then merge into our release branches for quick and easy deployments. ### 2.

Highly Recommended **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ilya S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Flosum?** I recently came across Flosum and must admit was impressed by the idea and functionality. It's an amazing tool for QA, Developers and Release Manages to work together on one development project. On the developer side, I found it' really handy to use 'Pull request feature' (an email notification) to let team members review the code. They can view all the changes in the code and left comments for me. You can also schedule a snapshot summary, use feature branch, approve/reject the code, merge branches, use automatic conflict resolution tool, etc And it's fully built on Force.com. If you're a SF admin or Apex developer or your company already a SF client, I'd suggest give this tool a try. You'd find it's easy to navigate in and grasp all the concepts. Could expect a better productivity for sure. Great job guys! **What do you dislike about Flosum?** I personally think Salesforce UI may need to be freshen up. it still looks cool, but could be better. Hope they will change it one day the same way it happened with Salesforce classic. The app itself is great. **What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speeding up the development and collaboration across different teams ### 18. Flosum is for IT Teams the same way Sales Cloud is for Sales Teams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maria M. | Salesforce Technical Support , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Flosum?** 1. Flosum interface and functionalities are user friendly. It is designed specifically for Salesforce and works as its integral part. Its interface looks like an integral part of Salesforce Lightning, which makes it easy to use for both Admins and Citizen Developers. Its intuitive interface and click-not-code approach makes it easy to use for anyone who can use Salesforce and does not have developer knowledge. Therefore, it makes lives of Admins, who find it challenging to learn other solutions like Git, easier. 2. As a result, Flosum can help to increase adoption and user satisfaction through improving change management process. 3. Flosum can save a lot of time for both developers and users, since it eliminates a big part of deployment time by automating complex and manual tasks. 4. Flosum's snapshots summarize all the changes that were done in the given period thus providing a detailed overview of which components were changed. 5. Flosum makes it easy for the peer reviewers to compare the differences in the code. 6. Merging is easy and user friendly: any conflicts are detected, all component types merging is supported. What I especially like is that merging branches provides possibility to pull code between versions to resolve these conflicts by pulling code into versions. 7. Deployment is simple and it allows to deploy changes into multiple pipelines and target orgs. I'd like to stress two especially useful features of deployment in Flosum: - rollback to undo the changes deployed in instance and - possibility to reuse this deployment without the need to recreate it 8. There is a repository. 9. Flosum offers full integration with Git, Bitbucket, SVN, JIRA etc. 10. Flosum helps to keep the data secure since it allows to monitor all events and changes throughout all the instances involved and provide visibility into each developer's actions. Moreover, its repository and full version control functionality are located within Salesforce platform eliminating any possible security issues that may be present in other external Systems. **What do you dislike about Flosum?** There is nothing I dislike at the moment. **Recommendations to others considering Flosum:** I would recommend to request for a Demo to see what Flosum can do for your organization and try it yourself. **What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Deployment of codes across Production and Sandboxes.

Easier way for native version control **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Türkan . | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Flosum?** Flosum is the ever evet best tool that we used for native version control. We are a team of freelancer agency that build with different team mates all over world. We help our specific client in USA for toiler made Salesforce solution. All over the world and in different time zones, we have 9 Salesforce developers who are working in same or different projects. We have used some native or cloud base version control tools but it was not actually we wish. Git and the others was mainly intended for programmatic changes, because of this it can't handle declarative merge components or complex components that Salesforce utilizes such as lightning components, aura definition bundles or static resources. Flosum is the best fit solution for our needs and business. **What do you dislike about Flosum?** Actually nothing, everything is better than I expected **Recommendations to others considering Flosum:** As a Salesforce administrator and developer, Interface and utilizes a click-not-code approach so that anyone who can use Salseforce can use Flosum. The best thing, a Flosum implementation can be completed in about 2 or 3 days, not the weeks and months! **What problems is Flosum solving and how is that benefiting you?** If as an admin or developer makes even a simple change to one of the orgs it is extremely difficult to decipher what change has been made and synch with that respective branch with using Git. But Flosum offers bi-directional, real-time synchronization between any branch in Flosum to any other Salesforce org, which ensures code-overwrites will never happen. ### 21.

Great Salesforce Release Management tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Avishek R. | Senior Manager/Solution Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Flosum?** Flosum provides one integrated solution and is a one-stop solution for all Release Management process for Salesforce Its provides an UI interface for developer to commit the changes to a feature branch. This avoids the complexity of using any git terminal or VS code editor code commit process, developer can make the changes in their org and flosum detects the changes as snapshot and developer can see all the changed version of metadata and can commit to a feature branch easily with button click. It can easily integrate with a ticketing tool like JIRA to associate any component for tracking. Its has an automatic pmd code analyser which can scan the code while developer is committing in to feature branch using UI version of flosum. Review of any code and components are very easy in flosum, pull request can be created for any feature branch and assigned to a reviewer. The best thing is reviewer can easily see if any new component is added/modified in feature branch. If any modification happened then it can show the differences. Reviewer can give comments for the developer for the changed component if needed and can finally approve or reject the change with button click. Merge code to a release branch - Once the code is reviewed in feature branch and ready to merge with release branch developer/release manager can easily merge the code from feature to release branch using button. If there is any conflict present then developer/release manager can easily resolve the conflict with button click this avoids any code overwrite by developers in release branch, which is the biggest challenge with big distributed teams which I think flosum solves this problem very efficiently. Deployment to any Org - Salesforce Org deployment from release branch can be initiated with a button click. If the requirement is to do the deployment in multiple sandboxes then that be configured as well with button click. Pipelines can be easily created for org deployment. Once the deployment will be completed history can be checked. If someone would like to do validation first that option is also available. Finally master branch merge - After the complete deployment cycle code can be merged to master or repository or can be pushed in to other sandboxes like training Org very easily from UI steps I simply love this tool and its powerful merge capability.
