    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.

    For starters, most enterprise-grade organizations and Customers struggle to align their current IT estate and landscape with fast-moving, agile, AI-driven automation and development initiatives. All tooling, governance, structure, and frameworks available to support and facilitate the incorporation of this new but still cross-system technology layer are essential to minimize the risks of data leaks, unauthorized access, unbridled token consumption, and other issues. For some businesses and organizations with a handful of systems or a smaller footprint, the platform could be a bit too complex.

    • PowerGrid can review and make the updates simultaneously.
    • Single Table Dedupe makes merg[ing] the records easy and can make updates at the same time.
    • BulkBackup [is] just one click, majority data got updated.

    • New and improved natural language processing yielding better results helps the assistants understand the intention behind the query.
    • Preserves context of communication, allowing the customers to establish inquiries on the website and continue on the mobile app without having extra informational input.
    • Intelligent conversations mean that complex paths that are branched based on the user's inputs allow for a much more natural flow of the conversation than fixed scripts.

    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.

    • I think that it needs to be able to integrate better with the knowledge catalogs. It currently provides a default database, which isn't quite large enough for enterprise use. We can connect that then to an external source, but it'd be nice if we could able just to instantiate one straight away.

    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.

    Allows for control in uploading lists, saved processes for checking duplicate records.

    Allows for backup files and quick reverts if something goes wrong.

    Extends reporting when Salesforce.com cannot support specific pieces of info being put together in a report.

    With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

    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.

    We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

    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.

    Strong ITSM and HR workflow automation with governance, ServiceNow excels in IT/HR but lacks flexibility for cross-departmental use cases such as demand planning, finance close, or procurement analytics. Orchestrate supports a broader set of enterprise functions beyond IT service automation. So, watsonx is a better approach than any other available tool in the market as of now, based on the use cases I've encountered and my efforts to understand the essence of the service.

    From past 3+ years I am using IBM Watson in our current project easily can implement and manage and monitor user how their using. Is there and update also just update dialog is just enough to change no need to touch any other templates. Multiple language will support, and action and dialog speak recognize chatbot we can create as per client requirement. Overall, as of now good experience with IBM Watson.

    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.

    • As a very small team WxO give us more time back and handles manual tasks.
    • WxO helps us reduce manual errors (and the time it takes to find and resolve.)
    • WxO, as a task scheduler and reminder system, helps us not forget certain key events with time-dependent requirements.
