Elements.cloud: Salesforce Metadata Impact Analysis & Org Monitoring

Impact Analysis, Documentation, Process, Mapping, and so much more!

We are a recent Elements.Cloud user, and the productivity and security of changes has increased significantly. We use Elements to better document and provide in Salesforce documents on the help icon, or in the side panel of Setup Pages. Documenting in Elements is super easy and promotes a well documented org! I could go on for days with the impact analysis - showing where fields are used. Elements shows what pages a field is on, what automation the field is referenced in, email templates, all of it. Elements truly shows how your org connects within the metadata, which makes making changes a lot less tedious and more confident in the finished product. The team is flat amazing to work with. Quick to respond and schedule meetings. With the current, and growing, features in Elements, I am super pleased to be a customer!

You wouldn't jump without a safety net, why would you make a change with knowing all the impacts

So much time saved and risk reduced when you see at a glance what's under the hood and what might be implicated in a change. Such a value-add, plus you'll sleep a whole lot easier after a deploy!

Great tool, great team

Working within a complex org I can't appreciate enough having this tool handy. Using the URL library, ref models, process diagrams. CSV import/export works great. Recently hooked up to the DevOps center to track deployments. Intuitive UI. My personal favorite, there is a live chat where you can ask questions about best practices or/and if something doesn't seem right. There is a real person on the other end will answer right away. Kudos to the team

Essential tool for understanding and maintaining your Salesforce org!

This tool is key to documenting and maintaining our org. When you see your org in Elements.cloud for the first time, you'll see lovely metrics that tell you exactly what’s there, the fields, how things are connected - it’s really a beautiful way to understand your organization. If you have inherited an org, it's will save you so much time as you try to get your arms around the existing implementation!

Major benefits for conducting SF Org Assessments/Analysis

We used Elements to drive an assessment of our client's 2 Salesforce Orgs and found the time-savings, ease-of-use, and in-depth analysis to be invaluable delivering our client a complete assessment of both Orgs in a timely matter in a format that is easy to digest and present.

Exciting stuff

Tons of valuable features for consultants!

One of the best app exchange tools you can download!!

Some of the best features you can use is the documentation, field dependencies, view process maps from within salesforce, create architecture diagrams and make ERDs. The purple I feature is great for giving end users the ability to see better help text that can include diagrams, process maps, tables and just a large quantity of written text. The purple I feature also gives end users the ability to give feedback directly to elements where a admin or architect can create a story for the metadata before making any changes so that it is all documented cleanly.

Saved Days of Rework on our Org

Because we are able to visually align as a team, using Elements process mapping has saved days of re-work on our internal org. We now decide together as a team on the process before implementing a siloed, fragmented process like before. The team is great to work with and I love how the tool allows iteration on the fly. Highly recommend.

Elements Is The DevOps Glue

I originally got Elements for the dependency mapping/analysis, which I thought was worth the money by itself. Then I started using the process diagrams both for documentation and for development planning. We even use diagrams when working with our executives and leadership team as part of the ideation process to decide what functionality needs to be included in a project. With the connection to Jira, the addition of architect diagrams, the work on org analytics, and the integration to DevOps Center it has become the tool that connects all of the parts of our DevOps cycle.

Fantastic Tool for Process Maps

I found Elements.cloud to be a great tool for business process mapping. Found it very intuitive to work with, very aesthetically pleasing, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a process mapping tool to use for Salesforce.
