BuildForce vs Salesforce Optimizer
Salesforce Optimizer is a good start. BuildForce is the complete solution—with AI-powered remediation, continuous monitoring, and cross-platform support.
Salesforce Optimizer is a free, native tool that runs basic health checks on demand. BuildForce extends this with 4x more checks, AI-powered remediation that fixes issues automatically, continuous 24/7 monitoring, and support for HubSpot and ServiceNow alongside Salesforce. While Optimizer tells you what's wrong, BuildForce fixes it.

Where Salesforce Optimizer Falls Short
Optimizer is a helpful starting point, but it's designed for basic reporting—not comprehensive platform management.
Limited Scope
Salesforce Optimizer covers basic performance and configuration checks—about 50 items. BuildForce runs 200+ checks including security, compliance, and custom rules.
No Remediation
Optimizer tells you what's wrong but not how to fix it. You still need to research solutions, write code, and manually deploy fixes.
Point-in-Time Only
Optimizer runs on-demand, giving you a snapshot. Issues can develop between runs without any warning or notification.
No Alerting
There's no way to get notified when new issues arise. You have to remember to run Optimizer and manually check results.
