What if you could build and test in Salesforce without the hassle?
If you're a Salesforce admin, developer, or IT leader, you know the pain all too well—setting up a sandbox that accurately reflects your production environment is a time-consuming, error-prone process. Manually selecting, filtering, and seeding data takes hours, if not days. And still you risk breaking parent-child relationships, exceeding sandbox limits, or exposing sensitive data.
That’s why we’re announcing Rubrik Sandbox Seeding for Salesforce, a powerful new feature designed to streamline sandbox management. This new solution reduces the risk associated with Salesforce sandboxing and removes the burden of manual processes—giving Salesforce management teams the agility to build, test, and deploy their solutions with confidence.
Why Should You Care?
Sandbox management shouldn’t slow you down. Rubrik Sandbox Seeding is built to accelerate the process and solve several key challenges Salesforce teams face, including:
Eliminates Manual Complexity: No more CSV exports, tedious data filtering, or broken relationships. Select exactly what you need with intelligent record sizing and granular data controls.
Maintains Data Integrity: Ensure parent-child relationships stay intact, avoiding orphaned records and inconsistencies between production and staging.
Optimizes Sandbox Utilization: Smart sizing helps you analyze data volumes before seeding, ensuring you don’t exceed Salesforce storage constraints.
Boosts Development Speed: Pre-built templates and reusability accelerate your refresh cycles, so teams can iterate faster.
