Don't take our word for it — hear from former Copado customers

“A small manual change in Copado would take us 4-5 hours. In Gearset, we can get it done in an hour — maybe less.” — Morgan & Morgan

Gearset is the best tool on the market to support and maintain a company’s Salesforce DevOps process. Gearset is faster and nimbler than Copado, yet provides all the DevOps functionality that a company needs, and more. Everyone at Gearset has been truly awesome.

I don’t want my whole DevOps process running out of Salesforce. It can feel a bit frantic and clunky, so having a third-party platform feels so much better — plus the Gearset UI is a lot more user-friendly and accessible.

I remember being amazed at how much better Copado was than manual change sets — and then being just as surprised at how much better Gearset is than Copado.

FAQs

We have options to help you move over to Gearset before your Copado contract ends. Chat with us today to explore the best path forward.

We have dedicated onboarding managers to guide you through the transition, and our DevOps Architects are available (for complex orgs) at no extra cost. We’ll help you migrate your workflows smoothly so you can get up and running with Gearset quickly and efficiently.

Refreshing your sandboxes is a great way to ensure a smooth transition and stability post-go-live, but it’s not required. You can get started with Gearset using your existing orgs, and if your Salesforce environments need syncing, our comparison and deployment tools can help bring them into alignment.

Copado and Gearset handle repositories differently, so some reset is usually needed. Many teams moving from Copado have misaligned branches and outdated commits, making a clean repository the simplest way to transition. However, if you need to keep your existing repo, we can offer guidance on how you can clean up branches, synchronize commits with fresh branches for your new pipeline, or retire older parts while preserving valuable history.

SFDX Source Format is recommended for its modularity and version control benefits, but many teams, including those using Copado, still rely on MDAPI. Gearset defaults to Source Format, and we provide a straightforward way to transition.

We can easily replicate these permissions and quality gates within Gearset. If you don’t have any set up already then Gearset provides an intuitive interface for setting up granular permissions and quality gates, allowing you to establish robust control over your deployments.

Gearset fully supports Agentforce metadata types, including agent tests, enabling you to seamlessly deploy agents through your pipeline.

Gearset integrates with ALM tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, and the main Git-based repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

Switching to Gearset involves a brief transition period where the new tool is turned on, and the old one is turned off. We aim to make this process as quick and seamless as possible. This way, your teams can continue building and deploying Salesforce applications with minimal disruption.

You don’t need to update Gearset yourself. We follow DevOps best practices and release updates up to three times a day. These updates happen seamlessly without requiring a restart of your browser. If you’re interested, you can check the changelog to see exactly what’s been updated.

Absolutely. Gearset supports full SFDX workflows, including deployment to and from scratch orgs, making it easy to incorporate them into your continuous integration and continuous deployment/continuous delivery (CI/CD) process.

Leave Copado behind — without losing momentum.
