What Gearset is
Gearset is a Salesforce DevOps platform for work spanning planning, deployment, and observability. Its Compare & Deploy tool checks Salesforce metadata and identifies new, changed, and deleted items before deployment. The platform also supports CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, backup, archiving, environment promotion, approval gates, release scheduling, and release audit trails. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and AWS CodeCommit. Gearset supports Salesforce clouds built on the core platform through the Metadata API; Marketing Cloud Growth and Account Engagement are listed as unsupported. It is available on the web and through an API, with a browser extension for tracking org changes and comparing or deploying them. Its 30-day trial includes every feature without limits and requires no card details. Gearset says its security framework is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, with TLS 1.2 in transit and AES-256 at rest.
