Optimizer Report

We all know Salesforce as a powerful CRM but if not implemented right, you might not end up achieving the productivity you expected. You need to be able to evaluate if the health of your Salesforce org is good enough to be fully functional. Salesforce Optimizer Report can be your secret weapon to help you out.

The Salesforce Optimizer Report gives Admins an insight into the general health and performance of their Salesforce org. We have been working with Salesforce Optimizer to evaluate the Salesforce instance of our customers to determine how their organization uses Salesforce features to generate suitable recommendations for how they can optimize existing feature usage along with ways to simplify customizations and drive user adoption.

What is the Salesforce Optimizer Report?

The Salesforce Optimizer Report is a free and simple tool that helps to remove the guesswork out of your Salesforce org, efficiently looking for potential problems in your implementation. It allows you to generate a PDF report to flag potential issues that may be responsible for hindering the performance of your instance.

The report you derive will be easy to reach and will help you identify items that are outside of what Salesforce considers the healthy range. It will also show the impact of those issues if you leave them unaddressed. Thus, it’s safe to say that Salesforce not just spots issues but also provides necessary recommendations to resolve them.

What’s Covered in the Salesforce Optimizer Report

The Salesforce Optimizer Report reviews areas related to the data limits and configuration within your organization. It consists of, but is not limited to:

    org limits

    page layouts

    configuration-related items like custom fields

    automation items like validation rules and workflow

    permission-related items like permission sets and profiles

Along with this, the report also covers aspects related to user adoption and overall usabilities such as users accessing Salesforce with older apps or browsers and features that they are not fully utilizing.

The Salesforce Optimizer Report has three main sections.

1. Review

It is the first part of the report that reveals everything that Salesforce found in your org (both good and not so good aspects).

2. Optimization

3. Resources

In the last section, Salesforce provides training materials and tutorials for educating its users.
