Flosum vs. Gearset : Which DevOps Solution Really Benefits Your Enterprise?

If your enterprise relies on Gearset or another lightweight DevOps tool to manage Salesforce releases, you may be using a solution designed for small teams—not the needs of complex, multi-org enterprise environments.

Book a Meeting

The truth is, tools built for simplicity often fall short when governance, scale, and compliance are non-negotiable. Tools like Gearset can introduce:

Branching Conflicts

Metadata merges fail because Git doesn’t understand Salesforce dependencies.

Slower Releases

Coordinating multiple branches and resolving conflicts delays deployments.

Security Risks

External metadata storage increases compliance and data exposure concerns.

Higher Production Risk

Manual merges and external deployments increase production errors.

Steep Learning Curve

Git-only workflows can confuse admins and non-developers.
