User reviews

Salesforce Lightning Inspector is praised as an essential tool for troubleshooting and monitoring Salesforce Lightning Components, especially its Action and Event tracking. However, many users face frequent crashes, inconsistent functionality across devices, errors in performance features, and a lack of certain usability improvements. Despite its value, these persistent bugs and UI problems hinder its effectiveness and reliability.
Pros
  • Extremely useful and essential for troubleshooting Salesforce Lightning Components.
  • Helps massively in diagnosing problems with Apex and Lightning callbacks.
  • Monitoring Actions and Events is a valuable feature of this extension.
Cons
  • Frequently crashes and fails to load properly, often showing blank or infinite loading screens.
  • Does not work consistently across different machines or Chrome versions; many users report it not functioning at all.
  • Has errors related to performance tab, such as 'Error getting marks inspected window'.
  • Missing key functionality like managing site access and dark theme option.
  • User interface issues including non-working search, horizontal scrolling problems, and non-adjustable panels leading to hidden content.
