Myths about non-native apps
To start the webinar, Paul Lazatin, FormAssembly Head of Partnerships, and Ashley McAlpin, VP of Marketing, introduce FormAssembly’s all-in-one form builder and data collection platform. FormAssembly is a non-native Salesforce app, which gives it a unique set of advantages over native apps.
There are many common myths about native Salesforce apps vs. non-native Salesforce apps, including:
- Native apps are always a more reliable choice when it comes to uptime
- All native apps can more easily integrate with other native apps
- Only native apps can be trusted with your data
- Native apps are always the better choice
In the webinar, Ashley and Paul debunk these myths and explain how, when, and why non-native apps like FormAssembly can be a better alternative to native Salesforce apps.
How to evaluate Salesforce apps

- Read reviews on Salesforce AppExchange and beyond to make sure the app works for other companies the way you want it to work for you
- Explore support offerings—make sure the app has plenty of resources to help you get the maximum benefit
- Ask the right questions to make sure the app has high security standards
