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.
