    DemandTools is good for almost everything related to mass data manipulation. The only scenario I haven't tried using DemandTools and was recommended to use Data Loader for was inserting records while keeping the original created date. The issue was that we had a disconnection with an external messaging partner, and when the records were retrieved, a few days had passed since the original day of the incoming messages. To insert the messages while keeping the original created date, DataLoader was helpful. I am not sure how to do that in DemandTools. But again, for everything else, DemandTools is a lifesaver.

    Saves hours of staff time copying data from one Disk Array/Block Storage to newer system without impacting the servers that are using the SAN. We have virtualized storage like VMware/HyperVee virtualizes servers. Takes the complications out of being a SAN administrator.

    Cons
    Validity
    • 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.

    • Costly but worth every dime in staff hours saved
    • Each generation has its limits on Fibre Channel speed it supports and one must upgrade the nodes to get to higher speeds
    • User Interface is now light speed ahead of where it started.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    IBM Spectrum Protect Virtualize beats ALL competition hands down, and one does not need to deal with the complications that are put into some of the Disk Array/ block Storage systems. Excellent Storage management and can see performance of your SAN that goes thru it easily.

    Return on Investment
    Validity
    • It is a tremendous time saver. It does things Salesforce doesn't even have the capability to do. Tasks that would take hours to manually complete.
    • We can process a tremendous amount of data daily through one person, vs. weeks for the data to be cleaned, reviewed, routed and input.
    • Saves on headcount by allowing a dedicated user to set up batches and jobs for other teams to ensure their data integrity.
    • The return on investment isn't easily quantifiable but it is FELT in our department.

    • Positively, it has generated good initial sales for us and with proper management, the growth of application operations generates more services to manage.
    • Positively, the growth of the operation has also helped the team to update its capabilities in order to grow.
    • The only possible disadvantage is that since the equipment is very reliable and durable, technological change is not easy to make. Clients prefer to grow the equipment while they can rather than make a complete change, but even so, the time comes when all this produces more services.
