Strongpoint — SOX compliance, audit, and change management for Salesforce

Amazing insights

We have had a lot of cooks in the kitchen without documentation. This was a great 1st step to organization.

The DRD alone is worth it

Being able to traverse the connectivity between Objects and Fields and Flows like a normal database instead of the standard Schema Builder... It's eye-opening and can make a huge difference in time just trying to understand what actually connects to what. Other than that, the additional functionalities of Strongpoint make auditing an achievable goal, allows for clarity of changes, change management - it's one of the apps I will want to be around for the entirety of my career.

Impact Analysis Made Easy

Strongpoint provides insight into downstream impact analysis that our Org struggled with in the past. Our rep has made the process of learning the tool seamless. We are able to customize the reporting aspect of this tool in ways that makes it user friendly and the data easy to parse. We are able to make deployment changes with the peace of mind of knowing what downstream impacts we will have to address.

Strongpoint helping AECOM build a reliable impact analysis and deployment process

Strongpoint has been an outstanding partner for us as we develop and mature our development and deployment processes. They listen to our needs and make adjustments to their product that not only benefit us, but other clients as well. Their product is making a difference for our organization.

Must have for administration and change management

The Flashlight and Documentation & Optimization feature sets are fantastic for any size company that has even basic customizations. However, the effort saved to analyze the system and assess the impact of changes becomes huge in older and highly customized accounts. Our team has saved a great deal of time just with impact analysis alone.

Audit controls made easier

We implemented Strongpoint to ensure we could prove to auditors that no unapproved changes made their way into production without review. Strongpoint monitors changes with precision so we can monitor all changes but only flag those that are in scope and not need to sort through thousands of logs for relevant changes. It also gives us the ability to manage the approval/review processes as part of our deployment processes and the evidence necessary to make the auditors comfortable that we know exactly what changed and what didn't. They've even thought ahead to build the "controls on top of the controls" - so you can show your auditors that configurations for what gets logged/monitored requires an approved change request or it can't be changed. Working with the Strongpoint team has also been absolutely fantastic. They worked closely with our team to ensure everything was working correctly and their knowledge of compliance issues made them great partners as we implemented the tool and went through the audit process. If any issues were identified they worked with us to get changes made and pushed to our environment within 24 hours. Great tool and great partners to get through what can be an otherwise challenging process.

Strongpoint provides valuable insights to our Salesforce org

We originally purchased Strongpoint for the Documentation and Optimization feature to identify out of date customizations for clean up. We quickly realized additional benefits Strongpoint provides with insights to potential impacts of proposed configuration changes. Having this documentation has saved valuable resource time eliminating the need to manually review custom fields and workflows. We have recently upgraded to Intelligent Change Enablement and are excited to partner with Claudia and team to roll out an enhanced change management program.

2nd Review - Why Five Stars

My first review for Strongpoint focused on my experience with the relationship with Strongpoint as a partner/vendor. Since then I have written a full blog post review based on more extended use of the product: https://www.johnknight.tech/blog/salesforce-appexchange-product-review-strongpoint Here are the highlights that will fit into my character limit here: My main priority for implementing Strongpoint initially was to accelerate deployment. Due to extremely tight development timelines, another Salesforce administrator and I decided to “race” deploying the same feature through Strongpoint versus Salesforce’s native change sets. Using Strongpoint, I was able to deploy 26x faster than our other admin who was using a standard change set. (30 minute deployment versus 13 hours between waiting for the change set to upload and waiting for the change set to validate.) While accelerating deployment through a streamlined tool is extremely valuable under a tight deadline, the feature I would buy Strongpoint for any day in any scenario is the Entity Risk Diagram. Even a screenshot cannot capture the power of this dynamic tool, but imagine this (a real story): After a organization restructure, we decide we need to up the role hierarchy to reflect some of the new changes. As part of the cleanup efforts, we also updated the role names. Strongpoint was able to show us that there were half a dozen validation rules were written several years earlier dependent on these role names. The ability to efficiently monitor, restrict, and, when needed, roll back changes is paramount for any organization that relies on Salesforce for business operations. As far as I’m aware, there are no other products on the market that solve this need like Strongpoint does.

Liked the tool and as a a Salesforce Admin I vote for this

Our Emerging Business team started using Strongpoint from January 2018 and so far I have only positive things to say. We are using it for We are using Strongpoint for: - Change-logging and tracking - For environment comparison to compare sandbox to production to reduce deployment risks. - Going to Reports can fetch me the compliant and non-compliant changes and this helps us to keep track of what is happening in our system. - I could see in one go who has access and who is making changes without having to spend much time. - We are starting to use Strongpoint to move change sets from sandbox to production. This is a tool that would definitely help Administrators and Auditors save time.

Thorough onboarding & training and well thought out product

The Strongpoint team has exceeded my expectations in training, onboarding and supporting implementation of their product. Compliance processes can be cumbersome, and while the change management process is still lengthy in Strongpoint it is well organized and more than sufficient for our SOX compliance. We are still just beginning to use the product but so far, Strongpoint has outshone almost every other application in giving our team the support we need to be set up for success.
