Salesforce Sandbox: Why Do You Need One?
Prepared By Jayant Umrani
Customer experience has become a preferred priority for 88% of companies nowadays because customers choose
customization and upgradation over generalist solutions. And, to adapt to this changing behavior of customers,
you have to make changes in your solutions periodically. This can be possible with Salesforce Sandbox.
With sandbox, you can test new upgrades with your current Production Environment that includes all your metadata
of current configurations, customizations, apps, and codes.
The Salesforce Sandbox encourages experimentation by reducing risk and streamlining the current action plan by
increased efficiency.
The major benefit of Salesforce Sandbox is that the research and development are hugely facilitated.
Moreover, as your customers or users give feedback related to your current production environment and offer any
improvements or suggestions based on their experience, Salesforce Developer Sandbox can be a tool to bring these into existence.
This will not only facilitate up-gradation in the current system of operation but will create an excellent
reputation in the eyes of your customers because of the enhanced user/customer experience.
According to a survey, Impulsive buying is practiced by 49% of buyers after receiving a personalized
message with the on-spot purchasing influence of CX.
When you aim to include new functionality in your database, Salesforce Consultant will introduce it
into the sandbox before it becomes a part of the actual database.
Salesforce Sandbox Types
Initially, you are provided with six different types of sandboxes in salesforce, Developer sandboxes and
Developer Pro sandbox which is differentiated based on data holding capacity.
The Salesforce Developer Pro Sandbox holds more data as compared to the Developer Sandboxes. However, the standard Developer Sandbox satisfies all requirements.
The function of Partial Data Sandbox and Full Copy Sandbox is that they include database configuration as well as
partial and all of the actual data respectively.
Thus, all sandboxes contain code and configuration but not necessarily your data.
- Developer Sandbox: Doesn’t copy your records but can store up to 200 MB of test records.
- Developer Pro Sandbox: Doesn’t copy your records but can store up to 1 GB of test records.
- Partial Copy Sandbox: Includes a sampling of your actual data.
- Full Sandbox: Includes all of your actual data.
