Valo's Fall Refresh: New Era of Mastering User Permissions in Salesforce

A More Powerful Way to Understand Salesforce User Permissions

The seasons are changing, and so is Valo! While you've been settling into fall, our team has been working hard on exciting updates and new features designed to give you more control, clarity, and confidence over your data environment.

We're thrilled to introduce a major leap forward in security and access management, alongside powerful new features to help you track adoption and mitigate risk across your platform.

Introducing Access Explorer: End the Complexity of User Permissions

Managing user access is one of the most time-consuming and manual processes for any administrator or security team.The truth is, managing user access often feels like navigating a dense, dark forest. How do you efficiently answer mission-critical questions like, "Who has access to this sensitive data?" or "Why can’t John see Accounts?" without spending hours digging?

That's why we built Valo’s Access Explorer. It’s not just a report—it’s a powerful new tool that provides a visual, graphical map of your user access landscape. You simply ask your natural language questions, and Access Explorer instantly delivers the clear, comprehensive answers you need.

This means you can finally transform complex data into actionable insights:

• Streamline Audits: Slash the time it takes to complete access audits and meet compliance requirements with automated, visual validation.
• Enhance Security: Instead of reacting to breaches, you can proactively highlight and address risky or misconfigured access rules, strengthening your security posture immediately.
• Empower Operations: Gain a complete understanding of your access environment to eliminate redundant roles and improve overall operational efficiency.

We’re confident that Access Explorer provides the most robust and intuitive experience for tackling your most complex access management needs.

Identify Risk with Security Scores for Managed Packages

You rely on third-party managed packages to extend your platform's functionality, but these add-ons often introduce hidden and unassessed security vulnerabilities. Every new installation is a potential point of risk, and you shouldn't have to hire a consultant to analyze every single one.

Valo's Security Score for Managed Packages directly addresses this.

Valo already analyzes thousands of connected apps to give you a security rating, and we've now extended that same rigorous analysis to your managed packages. You get a clear, data-driven security rating right within Valo. This essential insight empowers you to quickly identify, prioritize, and mitigate risks associated with every third-party component you rely on. Stop guessing and start knowing exactly how secure your extensions truly are.

Measure Adoption with Weekly User Activity Trend

If you’ve invested time and money in platform training or feature rollouts, you need to know if it paid off. Trying to measure the true impact of these efforts using static reports often leads to vague or delayed visibility into adoption success.

Valo's Weekly User Activity Trend gives you immediate feedback.

Valo now provides a weekly trend of your users' activity directly on your main dashboard. This immediate, visual feedback on engagement helps you understand your team's adoption at a glance. You can see which strategies are working and use those insights to make smarter decisions to drive higher, more consistent user engagement. Turn adoption efforts into predictable success.
