Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Octopus overview
What is Octopus?
Octopus is a completely free and open-source app for Salesforce. It allows users to document all the items present in the Salesforce instance and share them with team members. With Octopus, professionals can receive information about apex classes, pages, workflows, triggers, objects, fields and much more in a single place, open a JIRA ticket from an object's detail page and prepare a document.
Users can create and edit documentation using any text editor and save it in various formats. Individuals can also browse through all metadata or even see the source code of objects and fields. Octopus is one of the most useful tools available on AppExchange and it will help maintain complete documentation of everything in the user’s instance.
