Gearset’s product roadmap

We take a transparent, customer-focused, and feedback-driven approach to our development.

We ship small, we ship often.

We like to practice what we preach as developers of the cutting-edge release management solution for Salesforce. We take an iterative approach to enhancing Gearset, releasing updates reliably and safely multiple times a day, so we get improvements into your hands as quickly as possible.

Your feedback drives our roadmap. If there's an additional feature you need, or a problem you think Gearset can solve, let us know by email, our feedback forum, or reach out to us via the in-app chat.
