Our customers can't stop raving about our tools. Book a demo to learn why.

⭐⭐⭐Fantastic Implementation

Thanks to Terry and Amy my entire implementation went very smooth. They are both extremely knowledgeable with just enough flexibility and accountability to get the product up and running seamlessly. On our first call, I told Terry I wanted the spiders to be done before year end and he was able to help me get everything running over a weekend and during the holidays to make that happen.

I definitely couldn't have made my SoD review and implementation without Amy. I highly recommend the Strongpoint product!

⭐⭐⭐Great Tool | Eliminated Long External Audits

As we know, most environments will go through various optimization from the original deployment throughout the first few years of user experience. Joining a team after Go-Live is rather challenging to retrace changes. The implementation of Strongpoint has eliminated the obstacles during audits and assisted with establishing global compliance policy and data governance.

⭐⭐⭐The Premier IT GRC and Change Management Solution for NetSuite

As a NetSuite SP and Strongpoint partner, we often recommend Strongpoint to our NetSuite customers that are doing any serious development, specially on a short timeline, or a fast-growing company that is planning to go public, or perhaps a more sophisticated organization that has SOX or other IT GRC requirements already in place. We are huge fans of the product! Many of our customers are extremely happy with the value that Strongpoint brings to their administration, IT Audit and development workstreams.

With Strongpoint, you have a very small implementation to install the tool and configure your policies up-front, but once that is in place, that really sets up the customer for future success by automatically documenting all changes to the system and allowing for us to move rapidly with high confidence. When an organization embraces and fully adopts Change Management, they gain the benefits of automated documentation, which saves tons of laborious time, but you also get a version history of all the changes made to the system and the ability to see how one field relates to all the various configuration elements inside NetSuite (scripts, workflows, saved searches, etc.). The ability to perform an “environment diff” (similar to a side-by-side code diff tool) is a very powerful tool at surfacing potential defects or misalignments that can occur after updating a SuiteBundle or deploying a number of custom objects. But please note, that the utility of the tool really requires enforcement of best practices and critical review of changes before and after they are introduced.

So, why pay the additional cost of another software vendor on top of NetSuite you ask?
Well, we have found on several occasions where we've spent 25-50 hours or $5,000 - $10,000 on a single issue, just trying to pin-point the root cause of an issue raised in production. Here, we come to find that it was some checkbox that was unchecked on a field for over a year in Production and no one ever noticed that DEV and QA. We have countless examples on large implementations where we see that the time spent manually documenting everything and making sure we deploy everything perfectly could easily be 2X to 5X the cost of procuring Strongpoint for that project.

For SOX compliance and public companies, it's practically mandatory to get Strongpoint, and they support GDPR and other regulations that are nearly impossible to manage without Strongpoint.

Finally, we love the ability to ask "what if we change or remove this field"? As an architect, you can make decisions a lot faster with confidence knowing that Strongpoint spiders the entire account and shows you everything that a potential change impacts or when you're missing something. Using the ERD Diagram to navigate thru the documentation that that ties every object together is ingenious!

⭐⭐⭐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.

⭐⭐⭐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.

⭐⭐⭐Essential Change Management Tool

Strongpoint provides an essential change management tool for validated environments. Its change policies enable the Quality and IT administrative staff to know everything that has been done in the account and properly police those changes that would affect the state of the validated environment. It provides extensive reporting of all changes making the process of keeping a change log that will satisfy auditors a breeze.

Strongpoint's environment compare tool is also essential in a validated environment. It allows the ability to ensure that the configurations, which were tested in a sandbox environment, have been precisely replicated in the production environment eliminating the need for further testing of the production deployment.

Finally, Strongpoint's support staff is very knowledgeable and attentive to client concerns providing concierge-level service.

⭐⭐⭐Great Tool for a Highly Customized Environment 

We implemented Strongpoint to satisfy our change management reporting requirements for audit. It has been a game changer, reducing the effort to produce monthly change management reports from hours to minutes. The integration with ServiceNow has streamlined our change management process as well. Support and technical staff are very responsive. I would highly recommend for anyone who is struggling to identify true configuration changes in their NetSuite environment.

⭐⭐⭐Can't Imagine Working Without Flashlight

I love Flashlight! This SuiteApp was very easy to install, learn, and use. Flashlight allows me to monitor my entire account. When I need to make changes, Flashlight gives me the confidence I need to move forward and deliver results quickly. As my company continues to grow, I look forward to leveraging some other tools offered by StrongPoint.

⭐⭐⭐Developer's Best Friend

This tool is a developer's best friend! I work in highly customized environments, and often there are multiple people who have worked on the customizations. Many times the customer can't point me in the right direction regarding existing custom objects and rarely can they provide me with documentation. This tool provides me the shortcut and saves me lots of time looking. It also saves time on regression testing, because we know what areas will be affected and where to focus. I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing there won't be any unintended side effects of a change.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product! Well delivered!

This SuiteApp provides excellent visibility and management of all aspects of customisation. It has already saved us significant amounts of time in tracking changes, researching impact of proposed customisations and also keeping our NetSuite instance in optimal performance.

Delivered with clear, effective hands-on training and fantastic support.

A must for anyone with customisations in NetSuite.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for complex and heavily customized instances!

We have a very customized instance of Netsuite and this tool has helped me on a daily basis to identify obsolete and non-used items, fields, etc. I can also see dependencies in workflows and searches that are instrumental when optimizing to ensure nothing gets broken. Great product!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary Product in Complex Environments

We used to rely on JIRA and manual attachment of approvals when our team would promote changes to Production. Now, we’re using the formal process that Strongpoint provides – it has been a success across the board.

Both our leaders and our developers have significantly better insight as to what is going to be impacted indirectly when we are making changes. For our developers this is allowing us to get in front of issues better and for our leaders they are asking better questions: have we thought about all the use-cases, who did the regression testing for the indirect changes, etc.

The team at Strongpoint that managed our implementation was attentive, knowledgeable, and overall excellent to work with. We hope to maintain this relationship as we continue to expand our use of this bundle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Have for Every NetSuite Admin

Like many companies that use NetSuite, we have a heavily customized (and old) instance so there's a significant risk of breaking things when changes are made. Strongpoint prevents almost all of this by allowing us to do an impact analysis for any potential change. It's also great for keeping things clean (identifying and archiving unused searches), tracking changes, finding SQL queries, etc. The product has a lot of other uses (ITGC, SOD, SOX compliance, etc) as well, but it's the documentation component that made me fall in love. I wouldn't want to administer any NetSuite instance without Strongpoint.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product

We’re constantly learning more about the features of StrongPoint and it has really helped us with change management and many ongoing clean up and maintenance initiatives in NetSuite. We’re currently looking at the “Separation of Duty” reporting feature as part of our own review. As a vendor, I can’t say enough about StrongPoint as they have been awesome to work with.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strongpoint helped us achieved SOX compliance before our IPO!

ZoomInfo recently held the first tech IPO in our current landscape and Strongpoint helped set us up as the largest tech IPO in ten years. Technically, we have a year after our first 10Q to be SOX compliant but because of their prebuild change control policies, approval routing, ITGCs, SOD and automated reporting, they put us a year ahead of the game. Their implementation team is extremely knowledgeable and is able to get us up and running very quickly offering a very high time to value. Our SOX audit team said we had the best controls for an organization pre-IPO that they had ever seen. Thanks Strongpoint!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strongpoint Change Control Compliance Tool

Strongpoint was deployed to assist with enhancing change management controls within our production environment. It has allowed us the reporting needs necessary to identify changes made as well as hold the development teams accountable for following change management process developed within our organization.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid product, Great insight

StrongPoint has helped our company to get our arms around the complexity of our environment. It provides great visibility to our customization, searches, and changes. It is a well designed product with great support. I highly recommend this software and the company.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strongpoint 6.1

We switched from a closed ERP to Netsuite and initially we were too loose with permissions. We have a technical staff, so the number of system and configuration changes allowed by the flexibility of Netsuite grew exponentially. Quickly after implementation, we had stability issues mainly caused by a number of user developed fields, forms, searches, workflows, and scripts either being used as dependencies or causing issues in mission critical functions. We first went too far in the other direction restricting change and privileges in the system so much that IT had to be involved in practically every change. It was a bottleneck to the company’s growth which was clearly the wrong strategy also.

We discovered Strongpoint on a visit to SuiteWorld. We evaluated and ultimately purchased it. Implemented by our Strongpoint consultants, it helps Change Management process coupled with the Strongpoint software's ability to document the system, detect and notify IT staff of relevant changes, when they occurred and what they changed from. More importantly, it assesses the impact of proposed changes for approval before they occur by highlighting dependencies between fields, forms, searches, workflows, and scripts. It has prevented countless issues and brought stability back to our operations. The application has also allowed IT to perform its function of maintaining the system’s integrity and integrations with the ERP system properly, without unnecessarily restricting power users or hindering the companies’ growth.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Have Product!

As an administrator, I often struggle with keeping track of the copious customization taking place in our account. Strongpoint has several tools that help quickly see the relationship between different objects. Example: whether a custom field has a relationship to other objects (Advanced PDF, Saved Search, Script, etc.), you can compare environments (Production, Sandbox, developer, etc.) to see the differences. There are too many genius tools to list out. This product easily saves us tremendous time and takes out the guess work. I cannot imagine us functioning as efficiently without Strongpoint.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool to manage NetSuite asset portfolio

Highly valuable tool to support NetSuite portfolio management including change management, environment management, SoD, Sox compliance, etc. It helps to be pro-active and mitigates risks. Great to see product development roadmap influenced by customer feedback! Excellent on-going customer support to ensure product continues to generate increasing value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finding Formulas in Saved Searches

FloDocs helps in finding a formula that you have previously used in a saved search. It captures those formulas during the process of collecting the customization. I was able to create a saved search of the FLODocs customization which allowed me to quickly search all formulas used in saved searches. If you use formulas in your searches, this is a great way to reuse existing data that is otherwise hard to find.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius

Doing what we do for as long as we have been doing it, not much surprises us or impresses us…but it’s worth saying that this product is simply put, genius and as much as it has value for the client, I would say it benefits the delivery team equally if not more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was able to research everything quickly using FLO

FLODocs helps me adapt to the changing needs of our company without needing to always call an outside consultant. Recently, I wanted to know which script populated a total item quantity field on our sales orders. With FLODocs, I was able to find the correct script quickly and easily in the automatically generated documentation of our system. I confirmed that the script only affected the field that I wanted to work with. I was quickly able to deploy the script against the item fulfillment to recalculate this field on each fulfillment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool for mapping customizations

FloDOCS (Strongpoint) is a great tool in helping map processes and customizations in NetSuite, automatically documenting changes and connected records. We recently updated our web site checkout process, and our developer was easily able to find the existing scripts and related fields that were needed - as well as the "red flags".

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must have for every NetSuite Admin

After talking to many NetSuite Administrators, you all know we struggle on how to keep track of changes to our environment. How do you track where and when that field, record, or script, etc. was created and changed, as well as what impact that change provided. Strongpoint answers those questions. This is a must have. I had the privilege of working in several NetSuite environments and if I ever work in another, I would require Strongpoint to be added. To have NetSuite without Strongpoint would be silly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super helpful time saver

The ERD tool has been very helpful in showing me whether fields and searches I want to cleanup are actually being used by anything else and safe to delete.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved hours on just one task

During the trial of Flashlight, I had a requirement to update all the help on a form in NetSuite...both where it was missing and updating what was there. Flashlight helped me quickly identify those fields with no help and link me directly to make the updates. This alone prompted me to request my company to invest in the full upgrade to Strongpoint.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Helpful!

Very easy to install with minimal effort. We've been using it for about a week or so and my first impression is that this will be very helpful. The dashboard has a good summary of your NS account health with tools readily accessible.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flashlight

This tool came recommended to me during a Netsuite SuiteReview.
It's been particularly useful in determining the impact of bundle uninstalls and, also in identifying inter-dependencies within our account.
I'd highly recommend it to any Netsuite Administrator who has inherited a lot of customization that needs cleaning up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ERD and Flashlight are Fantastic

I have been using StrongPoint since it came to market and it has been a great tool. I have been using the ERD function to ensure changes don't break anything else. Being able to see all connections to a field has often saved me from making costly mistakes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful tool to see impact of changes quickly

Flashlight is very useful to being able to quickly see where a script is being used and how different objects are connected before I change anything

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-Have Admin Tool

The flashlight tool has become vital to our administrative process within Netsuite, particularly in identifying effects of field changes beyond delete/inactive dependencies. We all know how quickly Netsuite becomes over-customized, and this saves hour upon hour of research to find the scripts, workflows, etc. that a seemingly innocent field change will impact. Also, IDs missing help texts and bad custom field IDs, which are an absolute must when you've had multiple admins in your environment over time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating

Flashlight offers much insight into any and all of your customizations. What happens if I touch this field? Will I break a workflow? a script? Where does this field reside? What records? What searches? etc. It provides a plethora of information. A bonus is that you can also search to see where SQL formulas reside. For example, you know you created a formula and would like to use it, but forget where it is. Flashlight will find it for you!

I just started using this product. But, I am sure that the deeper I get there, will be no way that I could ever go without it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very helpful tool!

Flashlight has helped me in so many ways! If you are a Netsuite admin, this is a must have tool!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Administrator's Best Friend

Installing Flashlight has been one of the best things I've done as an admin. We have only been using NetSuite for about 2 years, but we already have a number of customizations in our environment. What led me to want to use the product was a third party approval script we had written for us that all of a sudden stopped working as intended. Flashlight allowed me to diagnose what features the script was affecting so that I could safely undeploy it without adversely affecting the system. In addition, the Spider alerted me to customizations and features that were lacking important information that I needed to address. It has allowed me to clean up our environment in ways I never would have thought of. I would recommend this product to anyone with NetSuite.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Product

I learned about Flashlight at SuiteWorld 2019. I met a number of Netsuite administrators that said this is a Swiss Army Knife of system documentation, change management, and risk management. For me, I have found the ERD to be most useful because it helps me to manage and prevent issues. I can clearly see how a field on the sales order is used in a script, workflow, and/or in saved search. Support is just as stellar as the product. We discovered an issue with the product and within no time, they released an update that corrected the problem. I highly recommend this product.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flashlight

We currently use flashlight. We are still learning and growing with the product. So far, it has been extremely useful as we are new to Netsuite and this allows viability to areas we are not familiar with in Netsuite as new users and admins.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Good First Impression

Very easy to install with minimal effort. We've been using it for a few months and my first impression is that this will be very helpful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Useful

The documentations and tools have been very useful. The product have saved us valuable time. We've been using it for about 2 months and so far we're very happy with it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netsuite Administrator

The product is easy to install and offer free 14 days trial.
It is easy to use and features are intuitive.
It helps Netsuite Administrators to keep track of all the related fields and records, so that it reduces the risks of developing faulty custom solutions.
It is very helpful in tracking changes and in seeing the impacts of a new solution to the current system.
Highly recommended to companies that do not have resources to maintain and track all of the changes made to Netsuite.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ FlashLight Review

I have been using Flashlight for just a few months, but I am really impressed with the level of detail it can provide. This tool is really helpful in creating technical documentation and specially in reviewing the ERD when a change is being made to an existing customization or adding a new one.

You can so easily look at all the places, a field for example, is being used to judge the impact of the change.

Great tool overall.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netsuite Administrator

Flashlight has nice features to help admin troubleshoots and plans for enhancement. The Change Impact analysis is very helpful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very helpful and well documented installation process

I got off to a great start with Flashlight, and it only got better. The installation process was quick, smooth, and well documented. I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the time estimates (for installation) were. The program itself is almost overwhelming with how much information it provides. I was impressed by how much useful information it provided. On top of all that, Liam and the team at Strongpoint are always ready to provide support.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A Must Have for NetSuite Administrators, Developers, and Internal Audit"

What do you like best?

It provides incredible insight into customizations, users/roles, changes, and script performance. It also has automated tools to help with removing stale saved searches to help keep NetSuite clean. The change management is awesome and is highly configurable to help show what is important to you. Lastly, their support is awesome. The first response and time to resolution are incredibly quick. We've made enhancement requests to the product and some came out on the next StrongPoint update.

What do you dislike?

When you pay for quality, you get quality. It's not cheap, but when you factor in the time savings and the value add to the organization, it pays for itself very quickly. Fortunately, there is a free version of this product (at the time of this writing).

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Install the trial and run the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD). You'll be amazed at how well it connects, indexes, and presents the customizations. StrongPoint also has a YouTube channel with really good content and how-to videos. Do your research first to see if it is a good fit. Also, if you decide to get the product, I highly recommend paying for the implementation/training support. It's worth every penny.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The problems we are solving are Change Management (the who, what, when, where, how questions), removing old roles that no one has used in months, removing old customizations that are no longer used, removing old saved searches that no one uses, and putting in controls with Change Requests to make sure we are compliant.

The benefit we realized is that we have so much more visibility to the environment. It's kinda like walking on a tarmac with limited visibility at an airport vs being in the control tower and seeing everything.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Must have for NetSuite administration as well as SOX compliance & change management"

What do you like best?

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 NetSuite accounts. For those needing formal change management and falling under SOX the Intelligent Change Management and Enterprise Compliance features provide a quick solutions to a key problems.

What do you dislike?

Not a fault of the product but implementing the change management and enterprise compliance processes can be challenging without the proper resources to implement and manage.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The biggest problem solved is the ability to quickly assess the impact of change or where a customization is used within the system. This saves a tremendous amount of time and allows the team to focus more on the real work and not chasing down unintended consequences in the system.

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 "It has been great so far, lot of valuable tools."

What do you like best?

The control reports, which give us more visibility into our system.'

What do you dislike?

How long it takes to process and document all the change request changes.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you want a tool that will give you all the reports you need to manage your controls internally this is the software to get. It is very easy to use and helps a lot with customizations as well. The one thing I would want to add to it is a way to deploy development through strongpoint.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are solving the issue of ITGC controls and SOD. This has been very manual for us for a very long time and Strongpoint is going to help us streamline this process and give our auditors a much clear picture of our systems.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Best app for NetSuite for control and monitoring"

What do you like best?

The changelog is comprehensive. It captures changes in the records that the native NetSuite audit trail could not.

What do you dislike?

The product is good but it must offer price flexibility in terms of deactivation of modules that we don't need at the moment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Strongpoint offers a solution for IT risk, audit, and change management. However, before one implements, a solid policy must be in place. Without the policy, anything implemented in Strongpoint will not be solid as a rock.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Through Strongpoint, we were able to monitor all the activities in NetSuite. It also allows us to cleanup unused records in a very easy way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent tool for both IT Governance compliance and Separation of Duties."

What do you like best?

Comprehensive approach to managing/maintaining ITGC controls, including the ability to track/document all changes being made to a SOX controlled system. SoD (Separation of Duties) ensures granular management of roles and permissions.

What do you dislike?

There are still some gaps in the controls in respect to the complexity of NetSuite (webservice integrations, for example). There also seems to be cases where changes are marked as non-compliant when they shouldn't be. The good thing is that Strongpoint is very receptive and responsive to reported issues.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

As a public company we have to meet stringent audit requirements for any changes being made to the production system. Strongpoint helps to ensure that changes have been properly vetted and approved by management before being applied. This has helped to streamline the generation of evidence for audit requirements.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Consultant and End User of NetSuite for 10+ years"

What do you like best?

I like the environment comparison tool. I also like the built in change management process.

What do you dislike?

I would StrongPoint to keep on improving the product and add more features and new records to compare between environments.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

1) Keeping the different DEV, QA, PROD environments in sync. 2) Using the change management functionality to track changes to the environments.

It is easier for us to see the differences between environments and quickly resolve those differences

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Lifesaving for any Admin of a customized NetSuite"

What do you like best?

Strongpoint's Flashlight tool have been absolutely life saving for me and my team on multiple NetSuite accounts with high levels of customization. We were trying to figure out a way to document our customizations: the tool we were using was expensive, and the whole system required manual entry and maintenance by Admins - which is time consuming and extremely error-prone. Flashlight does it all for you, and in a better way. Furthermore, they provide some simple tools and reports to help with other system optimization tasks.

What do you dislike?

I've had a few minor issues with updates. Granted they can be a little scary if you're relying on the system as heavily as I do. Just double-check things. Their support has also been EXCELLENT and those were resolved.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I'm pretty sure they offer a trial, so try it out! Install and "implementation" is literally a matter of clicks.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Customization documentation, data cleanup, SOP enforcement, performance optimization, license utilization.

Quality improving, time saving, team coordination, stress reducing, need I go on?

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "StrongPoint is in general a good tool"

What do you like best?

It facilitate the change management process for a team with large number of admin.

The change log are easy to categorize.

What do you dislike?

Some parts are both in financial controls and Change Management (for instance a change in cost center) will be captured by both modules.

Some fields are in [beta] and that makes it hard to rely on.

The JIRA integration is only available for change management and not the financial control part.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are making sure some sensitive part of our NetSuite instance is covered by a change request. This helps us to communicate with internal and external auditors on our change management compliance.

⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 "User-friendly with great potential"

What do you like best?

Database Relationship Diagram (DRD) is extremely helpful when analyzing impact of a specific field over other automations or metadata.

What do you dislike?

Finding bugs in Change Logs which affect our audit report.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

DRD for Impact analysis is made simple

We can monitor users making unauthorized changes and take necessary actions

We can resolve any non compliant changes with an explanation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Strongpoint Review"

SOD module - incredibly helpful with SOX/SOD compliance

What do you dislike?

Netsuite limitations with reports - want to be able to see frequently used reports, who modified them, last run, etc

Recommendations to others considering the product:

n/a

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

no problems outside of NS limitations. Benefits include improved user/role management.

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 "Improved system governance and ease of understanding."

What do you like best?

The feature for developers where they can see the changes made to the code and what other system changes made.

What do you dislike?

It is a little difficult to understand the reporting method of strongpoint.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Use the product to reap benefits on system governance

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

System governance, our developers find it an easy way to improve and interpret changes to code and metadata.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Essential for NetSuite Users"

What do you like best?

The ability to track any change that is made to your environment and report on that change

What do you dislike?

Can be overwhelming with the amount of data that has to be managed

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you don't have this and you are running NetSuite buy it now

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Compliance and change management. This tool helps us track changes in NetSuite and be able to understand how those changes impact the entire system.

⭐⭐⭐1/2 "Strongpoint works if you set it up properly"

What do you like best?

When configured properly, the system works fairly smoothly and you do not detect it working in the background. The reports are easily understandable for SOX compliance purposes

What do you dislike?

The set-up is especially tedious and time-consuming. In addition, the devil is in the details and if you do not set things up properly in the first place, then it will take forever to get it working properly. If you have a heavily customized environment, just getting the Spiders started can take a herculean effort

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Better to implement early in your NetSuite lifecycle than later - the less customizations at the start, the better.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Allows for audibility for SOX compliance with tracking system changes/customizations

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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: [Read my full review here.]

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ People Make the Difference

As other reviews mention, this is a great product for security and change management. What also sets StrongPoint apart is the people behind the product. My primary point of contact has been with Brian V. He always listens to what issues we are facing and gives us excellent solutions and coaching. Working with StrongPoint as a vendor feels like a real partnership working together to solve our security and compliance challenges.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strongpoint is a powerful addition to Salesforce!

Strongpoint (formerly known as FLODocs) has been a great investment for Industrial Scientific. As we began working on a large project to evaluate our customer data in Salesforce - and to migrate some of that data from one object to another - I realized that identifying the potential impacts of these efforts was extremely difficult and time consuming. Now, with Strongpoint, we have automated documentation of our system (including custom fields, workflow, list views, reports, and integrations), and the built in tools (like Entity Diagram and Finder) allow us to confirm the impact of our proposed changes before risking data loss or impact to existing workflow, integrations and business processes.

As we begin to establish data governance and rules around change management, Strongpoint enables us to maintain change policies, and automatically identify whether the changes to our org are compliant with our policies. Because the solution is all built in Salesforce, we can manage everything (including the reporting and documentation) from within our existing Salesforce experience.

Beyond the fantastic solution, I have found the team at Strongpoint to very helpful and responsive. They are dedicated to helping customers harness the power of the solution and are open to enhancement suggestions. Moving forward, Strongpoint will be an important part of our Salesforce strategy … and success!
