1.SynchronizedVersions
• Sandboxes can be utilized to streamline the efforts of large
development teams that can be spread across various geographic
areas. This provides a host of benefits such as avoiding any impact
with the live environment as changes are introduced, but it can also
become convoluted and confusing.

2.ReductionofRedundantData
• Redundant data makes it more difficult to backup your system,
confuses your team members, and can lead to coding mistakes when
merges grow unnecessarily large. Multiple developers working in
separate environments run the risk of working on the same issues and
creating this redundant data.
3.SimplifiedCommits
• Changes made within your Salesforce sandbox environments can be
tested and refined before they are committed into the shared
repository. However, moving these changes from one environment to
another can be difficult when considering the verifications and tests
that should be utilized before doing so.

4.AnonymizedData
• Production data can occasionally contain sensitive data. And as we’ve
discussed in the past, a large part of a successful data security plan is to
limit the exposure of any potentially sensitive data. Salesforce
sandboxes open up this production data to a large number of team
members.
5.StreamlinedOperations
• It’s no secret that even our best team members will occasionally make
mistakes. An optimized DevSecOps pipeline makes use of every
opportunity for utilizing automation. This could include everything
from continuous integration & delivery to static code analysis.

6.ImprovedReporting
• You won’t be able to fully understand what is going on in your sandboxes
without adequate logs and reports. These offer visibility into the success
of your efforts, as well as warnings about potential security vulnerabilities
and destructive changes to the code repository.
7.ReliableBackups
▪ Contemporary updates are an essential aspect of your data security
strategy. Sandboxes need to be included in the various areas of your
Salesforce system to be backed up.
▪ Automated system backups can be scheduled and repeated so you are
never left in the dark should a data loss event occur.
