Our verdict

SF Explorer stacks interactive notebooks, GitHub and GitLab integration, pivot-table style data views, and multiple query languages like SOQL and GraphQL on top of standard Salesforce admin tools. It also adds org security analysis and optional ChatGPT or Einstein integration, using your own token if you want AI features. Nothing is sent externally unless you turn on the ChatGPT option, though Google Analytics still tracks which features you use.
