Flosum Vs Change Sets - WWP
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to identify errors and to easily remove a component so that it doesn't continue to cause issues. It is also great to have a repository. When they identify a conflict between multiple branches, it makes it wasy for my team to make adjustments before deploying.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a document that actually provided the different examples for each component. For example, I didn't know that the Lightning Record Page was considered a Flexipage component. Basically, it would be nice to know what each component type was used for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flosum provides the ability to add Lightning Record pages as a component. This was always a hurdle of ours since we had more than 50 record pages we needed to update in both sandbox and prod. Visibility of everyone's Branches (change sets)

Game-changer for any Salesforce team
What do you like best about the product?
Native Salesforce UI makes learning and adopting Flosum very easy. Powerful change management and DevOps functionality are second to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Salesfrorce DevOps Tools Aren't Always Flawless
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Flosum built in Salesforce. The interface is familiar. I think this helps with the learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The good and the bad is that Flosum runs from a different Org. You don't need to install anything in your Org to get up and running. However, snapshots are required to keep the Flosum org up to date with your Salesforce Org. Other packages evaluated have similar challenges keeping development changes synched to the DevOps platform. It's kind of a necessary and time consuming evil. There are some automated actions to help improve this challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a large team of declaritive developers. Their work along with contracted workers and in house Apex development gets tricky keeping alignment. Flosum help with merging work streams. Use of the tool has decreased our deployment cycles. We deployed bi-weekly prior to Flosum. We continue with this cadence but with less time and effort but higher accuracy.
One of the challenges of any DevOps tool is the limitations posed by Salesforce at the API level. Our hope was to never touch production as part of a deployment. Touching production at times is still necessary because of Salesforce limitations.

Smooth integration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to deploy Field-Level Security by including profiles, and to use 1 Branch to deploy to countless orgs (no more rebuilding change sets in every lower org).
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't map external ID with Dataplier. When migrating data from one org to another, I can't select how to map Field A to Field B, the schema has to be exactly the same between orgs. Wish the data migrator had a tool to map fields, like Salesforce Dataloader can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster deployments, more reliable (fewer human touches, so less likely to make mistakes), and easy to contain all deployments in one org (this helps auditing and troubleshooting tremendously). We save time with deployments, so we can spend more resources on development.

The Best Release Management Tool With Excellent Customer Support
What do you like best about the product?
Flosum is backed up by an amazing team that is constantly striving to improve the solution. They listen to your feedback and try to implement new features that support you. The native version control works seamlessly and does not require any third-party applications. You can customize the software to suit your needs and make deployments easy to manage. The most amazing feature is the code merging/conflict resolution feature that allows you to seamlessly fix changes natively without having to go back into the code. It's a fantastic tool for any organization and I believe that Flosum will do amazing! Also, they have outstanding customer support with weekly/monthly calls to keep you in check & help you streamline your release process! I highly recommend Flosum.
What do you dislike about the product?
Visual studio integration can be improved. I have noticed with some of the developers working on visual studio have had problems such as not being able to perform impact analysis when components have been pushed to a branch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The merging/conflict detection capability has helped tremendously in order prevent code/work from being overwritten. A new feature that I have recently started to implement is the pull request functionality that has further added an extra layer of security to prevent data from being lost. The user has the ability to comment & review code before it has been pushed.
We all wished we had more time right? Well not to worry, the pipeline functionality has given me that freedom! I am able to create logic that allows my deployments to run seamlessly. On top of that, I am able to schedule the deployments that allow me to manage my time effectively.

You do not want to miss out! Your deployments will be seamless and you never have to worry about your data being exposed. It is completely secure.
Deployment Heaven
What do you like best about the product?
Having gone from working with standard Salesforce change sets, to other CI tools, Flosum was a breath of fresh air. I didn't realize just how much better of an experience there could be with both moving changes between orgs and syncing up environments. What has been incredible, has been seeing how many new "quality of life" functionality changes have been added in the year since we've started using the tool. The road map of what to come just points to how much better things will get.
Another positive is not having to integrate with a GIT repo. The Flosum repo has been a life saver for our team and has streamlined commits and pipeline syncs to other sandboxes. I highly recommend Flosum!

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything to complain about. The support we receive from the Flosum team to the tool itself has been awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing deployments and syncs with numerous sandbox environments (4 full sandboxes and 20+ developer environments).
Flosum Revamped Change Sets for Salesforce Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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.

It's a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier I and my team used to work with Eclipse, Ant, Eclipse, Beyond Compare, Jira, Bitbucket to commit,deploy, compare and keep track of the changes then we shifted to VS Code. But all these requires lots of unnecessary integrations.
Flosum is a complete package and works like a charm to commit and deploy the changes and maintain the whole lifecycle.
