I think it would be a welcome feature by all users to export a flow diagram of their flows. > > Like many others, I adopted an org with a lot of customization and no documentation. I then continued to customize and enhance our utilization without fully documenting all of it. Starting from scratch can be frustrating but having something export metadata details with a few clicks certainly helps facilitate moving in the right direction. ----- ### "Easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 May 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very easy to use and I like that you can link directly to the item in the Name column if you need additional information. > > **Cons**: I would like the ability to SORT in the 'Details' report. I'm typically looking for items based on Date but can't sort the results, which means i need to copy and past the information into another program. > > I downloaded this in order to view components for technical documentation. ----- ### "not as exptected" — 3.0/5 > **Joe** | *26 April 2022* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: the KPIs and the statistics of the team, surveys and performance of each team/member > > **Cons**: missing alot of facilities that facilitate the job of the team members comparing to other tools > > not very satisfied from this tool. ----- ### "Quick Easy Setup and Gets me the Information I need" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *7 May 2019* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an extremely easy way to let me know what is happening in my Salesforce instance without having to run multiple time-consuming reports or queries. > > **Cons**: Works better in classic compared to lightning. ----- ### "Quick and painless data collector" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 May 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was able to get a quick view of what reports had been made by users but effectively abandoned. Showed me lots of clutter. Very useful in debugging APEX classes or other things that might be hidden or forgotten. > > **Cons**: No complaints. simple enough to use--you might forget you installed it--which is ironic since I used it to find what was forgotten. Can't fix bad habits. > > It's a useful tool to get a view into the back-end without having to click around forever. Reports can also be shared with internal stakeholders from the tool--this saves time and trouble trying to do it by oneself. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186074/octopus?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186074/octopus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
