Likelihood to Recommend 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.

Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to. Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn. Laura Ferro Senior Coordinator of Admissions Communications
Read full review One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes. The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.

Read full review Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.
Read full review Performance DemandTools is a bit clunky and slow at times
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like
Salesforce , SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.
Read full review Online Training 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.
Read full review Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

Oracle Sales Cloud because it just clicks better with our way of doing things.

Plus, it's easy for our team to use, and we can tweak it to fit exactly how we work. While Oracle is good, SAP is like the perfect fit for our sales superhero team.

Read full review Return on Investment 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.
