Getting the expected results is a simple job now with this application. It simplified our work, rather life > > **Cons**: I hope it will be also available to other platforms > > We cut down lot of hours by using this application ----- ### "Useful, but needs to be updated" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 May 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: With the price point (free) and feature set, Octopus is a winner. This is the easiest way to get a detailed list of every aspect of your Salesforce instance. There are other ways to access this information individually or by using SOQL queries (like in Workbench) but no other solution I'm aware of that's this point and click easy. > > **Cons**: The interface and output could use an update. The interface should follow the new lightning design language. And the output should/could be more configurable. It ends up looking a bit old style, and for that reason is harder to parse than it should be. ----- ### "Octopus Review" — 3.0/5 > **Garima** | *8 May 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1- Easy to Use 2- Easy to configure 3- Download as a pdf, doc 4- Can see many objects, apex class and other information only on one page > > **Cons**: 1- Does not work for lightning component > > Octopus is a small but overall a good app. I have used this app mainly when I have to create a technical doc which contains information regarding all the classes, objects, Automation process, etc(Used in a project) ----- ### "Great for Overall Review of SF Instance and Documentation" — 4.0/5 > **Amanda** | *7 May 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to export fields, workflows and other automation rules really helps evaluate everything set up in your instance. Coming into an org after another admin had already set up Salesforce really helped me get a sense of what the previous admin had set up and help document current state and new automation and setup as we build. > > **Cons**: I wish the export was easier to manipulate once exported (maybe excel would be helpful) > > Cleaning up old processes set up that are no longer in use and documenting current and new processes. ----- ### "Straightforward with no frills." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 May 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It allows us to easily document our current system, choose the exact items we want to include and export to a workable format while allowing us to still make comments on what we are taking. The software is simple and easy to use with no frills, but it gets the job done and saves us time in the long run when working with clients. > > **Cons**: The software is a little basic, and the design is a little lacking for those that want something with a more sophisticated look. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/297884/octopus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/297884/octopus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
