Chose Dataloader.io
DemandTools also provides the ability to batch import or update records within our CRM system. We use both products, but Dataloader is slightly more user-friendly.
I use Dataloader.io and the Data Loader app interchangeably. They are virtually the same thing. I've used the app more over the years but have slowly started using Dataloader.io on a daily basis. The UI and UX are a welcome change, and if I want to schedule a data load, I will …
The UI of Dataloader.IO is far more advanced, user-friendly, and current, than any of the options above. The ability to several tasks (Imports/Exports) at one time. Cloud-based with very easy access to current Imports or Exports, as well previous versions that had previously …
Jitterbit had more features and options, but was also more complicated to use. Salesforce's Data Loader is pretty basic, but there are no limits. We utilize Salesforce's Data Loader for most of our jobs involved a quick import of data, or large amounts of data. Dataloader.io is …
I have not used any other Data cleansing tools, but used Dataloader.io to update/insert data to Salesforce. Loading data is just a small part of DemandTools - it offers much more.
We didn't look around because DemandTools used to be free for non-profits when CRM Fusion owned it. Once Validity purchased it they immediately started to charge all non-profits. The only other tools we've used are Apex Data loader from Salesforce and Dataloader.io. They can do …
DemandTools is more versitile than Dataloader.io, however, Dataloader.io is offered for free. I have used Cloudingo for data merging, but not as frequently, so I do not have a good comparison.
Dataloader.io is the tool SF recommends you use in addition to their native built in Data Import Wizard (which I did not see on this search list). Those tools are less comprehensive in comparison to DemandTools. DemandTools allows you to drill even to the parent level and make …
I have used DataLoader. It is a simple tool for inserts, upserts and deletions of records in a single object. It's great if you have a spreadsheet of ID's that need a field change. It is extremely limited, and has none of the additional features of functionality of …
I found DemandTools to be a more robust solution that others on the market and despite the aged interface, its still very powerful and easy to use. I needed an all in one solution and DemandTools provides me all the functionality i need and then some.
DemandTools is much more user friendly for modifying data in Salesforce. You can modify the data in Salesforce without having to export it and reload it.
We still use Apex Data Loader on occasion, but by-and-large we primarily use DemandTools for virtually all of our data manipulation needs. The only time we really use Apex Data Loader is to load new data into the system, but that's only because we haven't developed reliable …
We haven't evaluated any other tools for the last few years. I know there are alternatives for dupe catching in Salesforce and Salesforce has launched tools for finding duplicate accounts/contacts. We haven't explored those so we can't speak to their efficacy.
DemandTools seems more intuitive than Dataloader. It seems to have more options to help get through records quickly. The one feature I wish DemandTools had is the ability to just update a record without making an actual field change.
I use DemandTools rather than Dataloader for uploading from a list of contacts because it is better at identifying existing matches and providing the ID rather than creating duplicates. However, for mass updates to existing data or mass deletes, I prefer Dataloader. I'm not …
Regardless of how outdated the user interface is, for me DemandTools has been so straightforward to use and the number of resources at hand when onboarding yourself is enough to master it. The only thing the other tools have that are better are strictly the user interface of …
DemandTools is essentially the best mass data manipulation tool on the market for working with Salesforce data.
DataLoader is old, out-dated and cumbersome to use. This tool is what DataLoader wishes it could be and essentially replaces it as it surpasses it in every way possible.
DemandTools is easily the most powerful of the tools I've used for data manipulation in Salesforce. While I will jump between different tools for different SF org; DemandTools is the only program that I have full confidence in, no matter the task at hand. The alternatives may …
In my previous job, I did not have DemandTools and I used the Salesforce DataLoader tool for mass updates; it would take hours to export an Excel list, make the updates for each object for owner change, for example, and then reload into Salesforce. DataLoader is a simple and …
I replaced the Salesforce Dataloader with DemandTools. DemandTools allows much more functionality and much more efficiency. I also use DBAmp which allows us to upload data via the back end database. While DBAmp is great for automation, it is not an end user product. Using …
Dataloader is an incredible asset for a large organization or an organization that has a robust Salesforce environment. Specifically, Dataloader has allowed our sales team to focus on driving sales while our operations team can load the data they need in a manner that allows for robust reporting and tracking on our sales process. Organizations with less robust Salesforce environments or Salesforce environments in which many people are expected to maintain their own information likely do not need Dataloader.
DemandTools is perfect for any system that constantly adds new records to its database. For example, in higher education, we are constantly purchasing search names from various vendors and DemandTools allows us to make sure we are not doubling up on the same records. It saves us money in the long run as we are not mailing out multiple copies of our brochures to the same person.
Extracting Salesforce attachments in original file format! I do not know of a tool that can do this better, or more efficiently! This is a huge benefit to companies that would like to extract attachments from Salesforce for tasks like data migrations.
Cross-object data extract within one file. You can pull data from related objects as long as there is a populated lookup from the object you are extracting, to another object (Child or Parent).
UI is simple and requires very little to no training. Given the acquisition of Mulesoft by Salesforce, I would not be surprised if DataLoader.IO is rolled out as the new global data loading tool for Salesforce.
At the moment, I can't find a way to rename jobs. This would be useful to organize what was previously created hastily by techs in a rush.
A preview of the job, especially upserts, would take a great deal of stress away from some of us (especially those who are not so confident in their ETL practice).
A native vlookup equivalent may be a welcome addition.
I wish I could make changes to my existing scenarios using save rather than having to create a whole new scenario. Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to.
Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn.
It is easy to use and doesn't require a security token, so I enjoy using it. It also doesn't require any download or installation, which is sometimes a blocker to gettingthings done if the company has limits. also, the dataloader.io is easy for other people to pick up, so others can have visibility into the data jobs that have occurred
It's a great product. The only thing that holds us back is it was frustrating working with their sales team. We also don't like that when Validity purchased DemandTools they immediately started charging us quite a bit while it had been free for non-profit users when CRMFusion owned it. They also don't let you buy it for just 1 or 2 seats, you have to pay, I believe, in batches of 100 seats.
It is an intuitive application to use. Within a few clicks, you can be signed in to your org and ready to perform tasks. Data imports/exports/updates are streamlined so you can quickly start and configure your jobs. These can run in the background while you set up new tasks. Job history and tasks currently running on are on your home screen.
Customer support might be where Dataloader.io saves money. Most of the competitors offer 24/7 live support but Dataloader.io only offers support via email and the community. Those types of support work fine until you need an answer right away. Some questions can't wait until the next business day or business hours for a reply.
Support can be slow so do not expect quick turn for urgent issues. Help for specific queries not not there. Product tech support is offered. It would be great if query support, even if paid, was offered The training webinars help with the basics but not much if you need advanced functionality.
The trainings are free live webinars that give you a solid base for getting started with the program. The only weakness is they don't have any advanced classes.
I had just started using Salesforce about 3 months before I did the implementation myself, and it was easy to do just following their step-by-step instructions.
I have used salesforce inspector also for operations like import and export of data from custom objects but it doesn't work well when you have data in huge numbers. Instead of using Salesforce Inspector, one should go for Dataloader.io if the number of records is huge to be dealt with.
Though RingLead has much more to offer in terms of automation (and it is in Salesforce rather than a separate program), DemandTools still has our heart. DemandTools is very cost-friendly and we were able to increase the value of DemandTools by programming in additional saved scenarios. I decreased admin time in the DemandTools suite by approximately 25% after implementing saved scenarios for every reoccurring update or list upload.
HUGE time saving. When we need to clean or review data, we used to have to do it line by line. This can do the work within excel and make cleanup/management an afternoons work as opposed to a week.
Rollback what you did/change/deleted is relatively simple if you remember to back up the data you are manipulating.
