The Metazoa Difference

We invented org management

How is Snapshot different from the competition? We have been making Salesforce easier to manage since 2006. Read on and see why quality and experience makes a big difference.

Impact Analysis

The Salesforce Dependency API covers 50 metadata types and 80 different relationships. This is what the competition uses. But Metazoa built our own custom Dependency API from scratch that covers all 327 metadata types and over 1,500 relationships. Understanding metadata dependencies is a core competence for anyone talking about Technical Debt or Change Impact Analysis.

Automated Org Clones

In the past, org clone projects required dozens of engineers, months of effort, and millions of dollars. But Metazoa has developed advanced technology that enables a single Salesforce administrator to automatically clone an org in a day or two. We produce true metadata clones, so user acceptance testing is dramatically simplified. This technology is a revolution for Salesforce platform agility.

Zero Trust Security

Metazoa products communicate directly between the customer’s personal computer and their Salesforce org. There is no intermediate cloud or database. Metazoa has the same modern desktop architecture as Salesforce DX and Visual Studio Code. Metazoa products are both more interactive and more secure than alternative architectures that expose your administrative credentials.

Merge Similar Profiles

Snapshot can automatically merge similar Profiles and create Permission Sets that make up the difference. When the dust clears, users have the same permissions, but multiple Profiles can be deleted. This is the only practical strategy for moving away from Profiles and adopting Permission Sets. Nobody does more with permissions than Metazoa.

Metadata Intelligence

Snapshot covers all 327 metadata types. These include all the difficult ones from Einstein, Data Cloud, Territory Management, Agentforce, and Salesforce Lightning. These complex metadata types appear in all Metazoa interfaces. Snapshot provides the most complete and actionable Org intelligence available. The competition doesn’t cover them all.

Best Of Breed

Snapshot reports have the most features, best functionality and superior performance for important org intelligence applications, including: Change Impact Analysis, Field & Picklist Usage, Data Dictionary, Org Health Optimizer, Apex Code Quality, Forgotten Assets, Relational Data Migration, and Freeform Metadata Deployment. Please compare them side by side.

Prompt Automation

Metazoa has pioneered the use of AI on Salesforce metadata. This technology can be used to transform an entire org. We used to tell you that an Email Template hasn’t been used in a while. But now we can tell you it’s poorly written, has merge field errors, and violates your corporate style guide. Then we fix it for you.

Actionable Reports

Snapshot includes over 50 reports that help administrators and developers visualize complexity. But when problems are found, Snapshot can also conduct sophisticated metadata deployments and data migrations right from the report interface. The competition just finds technical debt. They can’t actually fix it.

Complete Documentation

Metazoa has documented all 37,000 XML elements in the Metadata API. We know which elements are the most important, what they do, how they function, and their true schema. This is a gigantic advantage for administrators working with metadata and Artificial Intelligence prompts that depend on Retrieval Augmented Generation.
