Gearset has continued to make our deployment process much smoother and more reliable. We use it regularly for validations, deployments, and comparing metadata across environments, which saves a lot of manual effort. I also like how easy it is to identify deployment issues before they reach production, and the deployment history makes it simple to track previous releases whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where I think there is room for improvement is making deployment status and post-deployment verification even more transparent. There have been a few occasions where a deployment completed successfully, but we later noticed that a metadata component was not reflected in Salesforce as expected. Having additional validation or clearer reporting for these edge cases would make the deployment process even more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It simply works, which is more than I can say for a lot of tools in the Salesforce space. The user interface is clearly designed with the end user in mind, it is intuitive, clean, efficient. However the real standout is the technical support. It is genuinely award worthy. Unlike many companies where you just tank to note takers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is definitely on the higher end of the market. While I am firm believer that you get what you pay for in terms of reliability and support, the cost can be a bit of a hurdle. It would be great to see a more comprehensive free tier or a entry level version for smaller dev teams who are just starting to move away from change sets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automation features are fantastic, especially the diff tool which gives me a crystal-clear view of the discrepancies between our sandboxes and our QA or UAT environments. I also find the rollback functionality to be a massive safety net; it’s incredibly quick and effective if we ever need to revert a change. It just feels like a natural extension of our Salesforce ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve run into some friction with controlling value dependencies that the tool couldn't quite handle automatically. I’d also love to see the data seeding process become a bit more user-friendly. Specifically, navigating that section and using templates could be simplified to make it faster to populate our test environments with relevant data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are simply too many highlights to list. Above all, the interface is incredibly intuitive, while still being deep enough to customize fully around our specific business processes. On top of that, being able to manage complex deployments across multiple Salesforce orgs declaratively is a real game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don’t have any major complaints. If I had to point to one area that could be improved, it would be the speed of the manual “compare and deploy” process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gearset strikes a rare balance between being incredibly powerful and surprisingly easy to pick up. I really love how quickly you can get the initial setup running, we started with a very small, specific scope and were able to scale our usage naturally as our strategy evolved.

While the out of the box integration are great for standard workflow, they can feel a bit restrictive if you have highly specific or complex architectural needs. We have found that some of the pre built connection have limitations, which eventually forced us to set up custom asynchronous webhooks to bridge the gaps and get the exact date flow we required.

The core deployment engine is quite robust and offers a wider variety of features for Salesforce admins than most other DevOps tools on the market. It significantly simplifies the movement of metadata. I also have to give a lot of credit to their customer support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest drawback is that it’s a separate application outside of Salesforce, which disrupts our workflow. During our pilot, we found that the CI/CD functionality didn’t quite fit our specific requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gearset is a market leader for a reason in the Salesforce Dev Ops space, historically having been built to fill a crucial need in the marketplace it is seeing more competition lately from other competitors including Salesforce which is continuing to build out it's own Dev Ops tools but the gearset comparison tool for deploying metadata still is head and shoulders better than other solutions out there along with other tools like data backup, data deployment (including CPQ data deployment) and other solutions. Most recently utilizing metadata change monitoring and automated unit testing of code in an environment to monitor coverage levels have been particular helpful to my team and I and we look forward to utilizing the new AI Agent features gearset is making available when we have an opportunity to do so.

Gearset has long been a market leader in the industry and their pricing reflects that which can be more expensive than some solutions. Certainly it is worth the investment in my opinion but some companies might find that to be a barrier to adoption if price is high on their priority list for a Dev Ops solution. If they can continue to innovative in the pricing space that will lower the barriers of entry for different customers to continue trying their advanced solutinos.

There are too many good things to mention about Gearset. First and foremost, the product itself is extremely intuitive, capable, and customizable to our business processes. The way it can easily handle deployments across multiple Salesforce orgs declaratively is impressive. It's advanced capabilities (to name a few) include data masking, data seeding, CI/CD automations, GitHub integration, issue tracking automation (JIRA, Asana, etc) all declaratively is stellar. Gearset's performance is quite consistent and reliable, and we rarely run into any major issues.

Secondly, our entire Gearset team (account manager, customer success manager, support engineers) are extremely professional, accomodating, and knowledgeable. They're constantly ensuring our implementation meets our business needs and are able to provide all required support with extreme agility.

Gearset as a product has evolved dramatically in the few years I have been using it. It's now advanced AI capabilities and quite impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any major sources of discontent with Gearset in my experience. The only aspect which I wish could be improved is the speed of manual "compare and deploy". Sometimes org comparisons can take a while, and having that accelerated would be quite beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding was effortless, and the integration with our existing stack was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing feels modularized :) Features like Sandbox Seeding and Code Reviews require paid add-on licenses, which can come across as double-dipping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the metadata comparisons most useful about Gearset. When reviewing complex changes e.g. flows made by other developers I can see exactly what changes have been made.

I like how with some metadata types like fields and layouts I can choose which changes picklist values / page sections to promote and don't have to promote everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We still haven't successfully built out CI / CD pipelines but I think that is more a reflection of the amount of work this requires anyway rather than anything related to Gearset.

Would be good if you could associate changes with user stories / work items Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
