1,200+ professionals. Dozens of surprising insights. One report that breaks the silence.
Salesforce DevOps has matured—but not evenly. Some teams are flying with automation and AI. Others are stuck in spreadsheet purgatory, still troubleshooting sandboxes on Friday nights.
To find out why, we surveyed over 1,200 Salesforce architects, release managers, and platform owners across industries, roles, and maturity stages. The result? A candid snapshot of where teams stand in 2025—and what’s holding them back.
Here are a few standout findings from the State of Salesforce DevOps 2025 Report:
🚨 62% of Sandboxes Are Out of Sync
Yes, still. Despite growing investment in tooling and automation, the majority of Salesforce teams continue to struggle with sandbox alignment. This leads to late-stage surprises, bad merges, and frustrated developers.
🔀 68% of Teams Struggle with Merge Conflicts
Version control adoption is up—but it’s not solving everything. Most teams say merge conflicts are slowing releases, introducing risk, and forcing rollbacks. The root causes? Lack of branching discipline, unclear ownership, and inconsistent metadata handling.
🧠 Only 1 in 4 Teams Are Using AI
Everyone’s talking about AI, but few have moved beyond experimentation. While some leading teams are using AI for smart test coverage and automated conflict resolution, most haven’t embedded it into daily workflows yet. The opportunity is wide open—but so is the maturity gap.
🔒 Compliance Is Slowing Down 81% of Orgs
Enterprise teams are struggling to balance speed and security. Manual compliance steps, audit fatigue, and fragmented approval processes are making it harder to move fast without risk. Most teams know they need change—but aren’t sure where to start.
📊 High-Performing Teams Do Things Differently
We compared high-performing teams against the rest—and the differences are stark. From how they structure their DevOps pipelines to the metrics they track, these teams are faster, more secure, and more confident in their delivery motion.
