What do you like best about the product?

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 like best about the product?

My favourite feature of Flosum is it's easy of use.
This can be seen in it's click-not-code approach to version control, You don't need to be a developer to understand and use it.
That it integrates directly into Salesforce helps make it feel less daunting to admins who might not have had any previous experiences with version control, not to mention more secure since none of your data leaves the force.com platform.

From a more technical point of view I appreciate that Flosum supports Salesforce component types making it easy to merge changes, has seamless integration with Github and Bitbucket (Both witch I use regularly), and that the feature branches carry the complete information for destructive changes.

What do you like best about the product?

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.

Actually nothing, everything is better than I expected

What problems is the product 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.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?

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. All above release process/steps can happen from a very user friendly UI which is very convenient for developers, release managers.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing so far it covers almost all the aspects of release process
