See why Salesforce teams prefer Gearset’s fully managed pipelines, transparent pricing, low-code accessibility, comprehensive CPQ support, and unbeatable onboarding over Salto’s script-heavy, token-based model.

Get up and running fast with Gearset Pipelines, for UI-based CI/CD that streamlines your deployment process without YAML or CLI needed — just powerful, pre-configured automation you can trust.
Plan and scale with confidence and no hidden costs. Gearset's clear, user-based pricing means no juggling tokens or unexpected overages.
Gearset’s intuitive workflows bring Salesforce admins, developers, and architects together. No need to learn code or scripts — everyone can manage Salesforce deployments confidently with clicks not code.
Deploy Salesforce CPQ configuration data as metadata, with built-in diffing, automation, and rollback — no more manual change sets or unreliable data deployments.
Quickly recover from breaking changes with robust metadata rollback. Roll back a deployment partially or in full, or restore an org to its entire previous state — keeping releases stress-free.
Skip the support tiers. Every Gearset customer gets responsive in-app support run by humans (not chat-bots), tailored onboarding, and expert DevOps help — all included with your license.
“Deployment times and implementation times were increasing exponentially — it could take somewhere between 2–8 hours to deploy CPQ. Now with Gearset for CPQ it’s easy to deploy within 15 minutes” — Cision
What I love about Pipelines is the ability to back propagate PRs. Once we’ve merged we can keep all the other environments in sync. I don’t have to refresh my sandboxes half as much as I used to.

Gearset just works! It’s more intuitive than any other solution and is the full package that we needed. It’s completely changed how we deploy.

Gearset unlocked the ability for HackerOne to complete big projects. Without this powerful DevOps platform, they wouldn’t even have been considered possible.

Side-by-side feature grids can miss what really matters. Here’s what to expect from a true Salesforce DevOps solution — and why Gearset’s purpose-built platform leads the pack.
Gearset delivers true enterprise DevOps all in a single platform. Unlike Salto’s narrower focus and code-heavy approach, Gearset supports the entire DevOps lifecycle out of the box. With native support for CPQ, declarative workflows, and deploying changes to multiple Salesforce orgs, teams can manage even complex deployments with confidence and speed.
Gearset is ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA certified. Your Salesforce data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Gearset runs entirely off-platform with audit trails and access controls — enabling teams of all sizes to move fast, innovate with confidence, and support regional compliance requirements.
Gearset is the only platform built specifically for Salesforce that combines CI/CD, metadata comparison, rollback, and CPQ deployment in a single UI-first experience. Unlike other Salesforce DevOps tools that rely on complex scripting or fragmented features, Gearset eliminates maintenance overhead and empowers teams with intuitive, powerful automation across the full development lifecycle.
Gearset is designed so anyone — from solo Salesforce admins to business analysts — can confidently manage deployments without writing code. Its low-code interface simplifies tasks like metadata comparison, version control system integration, and CI/CD configuration, helping teams streamline development processes without needing a dedicated DevOps engineer.
No. Gearset Pipelines is fully managed within the app. There's no YAML, no external orchestration, and no need to maintain fragile custom scripts. Unlike other DevOps tools, Gearset supports end-to-end release management by handling the continuous evolution of your development workflows and CI/CD pipelines — ensuring stable, reliable deployments across your Salesforce environments.
No. Gearset offers click-configurable CI/CD pipelines that streamline your development processes and eliminate the complexity of YAML scripting. You'll get branching, pull request automation, code reviews, validation, approvals, and rollback — all without touching a single config file. These features help teams maintain high code quality while accelerating delivery. It's CI/CD without the complexity.
Yes. Gearset treats Salesforce CPQ configuration as Salesforce metadata, not data. That means you can deploy CPQ changes with the same visibility, control, and rollback as any other metadata. No more spreadsheets or manual fixes — just fast, reliable CPQ deployments built into your release pipeline.
Not necessarily. Salto’s token-based model can initially seem cheaper but quickly leads to unpredictable costs — especially for active Salesforce development teams. Gearset provides clear pricing, empowering your DevOps processes with predictable costs and reducing dependency on specialized engineering resources.
If you're looking for a Salesforce DevOps solution that’s easy to adopt, robust across the full development lifecycle, and trusted by thousands of teams, Gearset is the clear choice. While other tools may appeal to highly technical teams with niche multi-app needs, Gearset offers the best balance of power, usability, and reliability for Salesforce teams of all sizes.
