Learn how Traction on Demand switched to Gearset and left behind the pain of change sets

When I first started here our Salesforce team were using ANT packages to do deployments and it was taking a lot of time to create packages and it was super easy to make mistakes. Now with Gearset I can just use clicks to deploy things between environments and when I forget something Gearset is smart enough to point out that I need to include additional components in my package.

Gearset has greatly improved our speed and efficiency with our deployment process, monitoring code coverage, and through creating a continuous integration process that we did not have before. Deployments are a collaborative effort thanks to Gearset, and it's enabled our SFDC Admins to participate in the deployment process and have an alternative to time consuming changesets that can't be rolled back.

I have been using Gearset for several years now and have had the opportunity to both watch and influence its growth and development, and find it to be an outstanding tool to assist in deploying metadata between Salesforce orgs. Using Gearset, my team and I are able to monitor our orgs for changes, make comparisons between orgs or version control systems (BitBucket, GitHub or local folders) and even backup our data.

If you are tired of creating ANT packages or wasting time preparing your deployment, Gearset is an amazing solution. You can gather all of the data that you need for your deployment within the application, no need for external tools. Comparison results and validation results are very helpful, they allow for you to troubleshoot without starting the process over.

Gearset absolutely changed the entire experience of deploying between Salesforce orgs for us. What was an awful experience of keeping track of changes for inclusion in Change Sets or deploys from ANT/Eclipse turned into a great experience of being able to automatically do a diff against two orgs and deploy. Gearset made it possible to selectively deploy partial components, like workflows, or field, without deploying the entire object, not to mention being able to successfully deploy profile and permission set changes.

Gearset somehow makes a very complex step in the development lifecycle seems easy. Their platform is very user friendly and easy to use. Anyone can benefit from Gearset, from beginners to experienced IT/Salesforce workers.

As a Salesforce integration/consulting partner, Gearset has been the cheapest money we've ever spent. When compared with changesets, Gearset is light years beyond in functionality and efficiency and compared with ANT, Jenkins or a similar "low-level" deployment method, Gearset is much more user friendly for those who don't want to be sitting in the command line just to deploy a package.

Having struggled with changesets for years, Gearset was a breath of fresh air. It is so quick and easy to put together a package for migration, and it can be scheduled to run in the middle of the night. The comparison tool is such a help as well. It is so easy to see the differences between environments and act accordingly.

The product makes doing source control-based SFDC dev ops a breeze. Our org used to use ant scripts to do this and could only do that for apex/visualforce. Now, we can manage all config changes including objects, flows, layouts, managed package customizations and even settings. The visual interface is easy to understand and supports both sprint release cadences or story-by-story release devops. Integration with automated CI is super helpful in spotting issues early.

Gearset provides visibility into what was changed, who changed it. and why it was changed. Working with a large team of engineers who deploy to production constantly, that visibility makes all of the difference. Gearset also provides monitoring for all of our dev, shared, and production environments; from scheduled test runs to change monitoring. This allows us to address issues early on and keeps my team accountable for the changes we make.

As Salesforce consultants, we need to be able to quickly and easily deploy metadata between Salesforce instances. Gearset allows us to easily compare and review our deployments between instances. Using standard Salesforce deployment tools is a major pain and takes forever. Gearset saves the day and gives you a lot more insight into what you are deploying and its likelihood to succeed.
“If you’re looking for something to work for a cross-functional team of admins and engineers, Gearset really is a no-brainer for achieving project deadlines in a way that doesn’t discriminate against any role.”
“If we had a complete failure, I’m confident our data is safe in our Gearset backups and we’d be able to restore. We’ve got that peace of mind.”
“We chose Gearset to support us with our deployments, but the full scope of the solution has been the cherry on top!”
“Our consultants recommended Gearset to us because they knew we would ultimately be more successful in our DevOps processes.”
“We couldn’t go back to our old process. I can’t think of a day where I don’t use Gearset multiple times.”
“Gearset has succeeded in building a tool that just saves time. Previously, a typical release would take me five hours. With Gearset, that has been reduced to 40 minutes. I’ve saved around seven hours of my time every month and significantly reduced the strain on my nerves - it was a no-brainer!”
“With Gearset, our deployments are so fast that we have the option to increase our release cadence!”
“Gearset ticked all of our boxes: it supported Vlocity, it could do everything we did with Vlocity DX and more, it was faster, more robust, easier to use and all the devs were happy.”
“It’s been a journey. We started with continuous integration and developing the whole DevOps process. And now we’re using Gearset across multiple instances and it’s fantastic.”
“Gearset has increased the quality, efficiency and reduced error. It has given us the confidence that what we delivering is what we should be delivering.”
“Gearset solves the issue of not having a native solution in Salesforce to deploy CPQ data. We save so much time using it for our deployments.”
“If your organization is rapidly evolving and scaling, if you run projects where changes are needed to your Salesforce instance, or if you have a mature environment management structure, Gearset should 100% be a part of your technology stack.”
“We’d definitely recommend using Gearset. I go back long enough to know the full pain and suffering of change sets. Since adopting Gearset, we’ve removed all those issues from our release management process.”
“The UI is slick. It’s clean, simple, and really easy to connect to your orgs. It’s very clear what you’re trying to do, and the UI makes it easy. You don’t have to hunt and peck for things. It’s nice to be able to find a tool that works really well across all the roles.”
“With Gearset, we’ve increased our software releases and have given so much time back to our devs, admins and release manager. Now I can easily see in real time whether something went to plan or whether it failed.”
“I sincerely wish we’d had Gearset two years ago when we first launched Salesforce at Xometry - the iteration cycle with Salesforce would have been much, much quicker!”
“Gearset’s Pipelines view is now my map to see how stuff is flowing, who’s running a job and when - because I’m ultimately responsible for making sure things keep going.”
