Dataloader.io is used by a handful of Salesforce admins in our company. It's not mandatory; more of a personal preference. I switch back and forth between that and the Data Loader application. It doesn't necessarily address any "problems," rather it makes us more productive in our day to day. Instead of manually inserting, updating, or deleting data, we turn to Dataloader.io to automate it.
- Scheduled imports/exports
- Updated user interface
- Better/more intelligent field mapping
- Offer more scheduled runs with free version
- Increase number of records with free version
- Free version gets the job done, but the next tier is rather expensive
When we need to extract mass data to scrub for errors/gaps, acquire customer lists/company data we need to import into Salesforce, dataloader.io is the tool we rely on to complete these, sometimes very large, extractions or imports. Its pretty well a seamless integration and solid platform to use to parse through volumes of information within your SF CRM.
- Splitting data between object sets
- Mass upload/Insert ability makes changing multiple data sets on multiple fields very simple
- Ease of use. One of the few instances Salesforce data correlation is very black and white.
- The lag time doing large data sets can be tricky. Especially if you have errors.
- It sometimes does not feel very stable; can error out multiple times for no real reason
- Custom integration support needed

We use Dataloader.io as a data import wizard in Salesforce. It's better than the standard data import wizard & dataloader supplied by Salesforce because you can auto-map some fields and save a lot of time. It's also possible to plan some batches. I spend less time on Excel and that's really impacting my job. The main use of this software is to import accounts & contacts on Salesforce. But you can also export your data and clean it via this software.
- Fields auto-mapping
- Secure and simple
- Batch scheduling
- Professional version is really expensive.
- Lack of features.

We use this utility with some clients to aid in data loads, exports, and updates. This is used by various staff as a utility in the place of Salesforce Dataloader. This application is very intuitive and aids with data mapping as well as a historical view of work completed in the Salesforce org for exports, inserts, updates.
- Data mapping
- Links to download exports including successful or failed imports/updates.
- Rerunning previous jobs
- Tracking history of tasks completed in the Salesforce org.
- Progress bar indicator would be helpful.
- Options for quickly switching between salesforce orgs.
- Increase monthly limits for free edition.
We utilize Dataloader to mass load both sales prospect data into Salesforce, as well as actual customer data into their org. This tool is extremely crucial in shortening the time to get data into our org and we can spend more time on what we do with the data in there.
- Easy user interface
- Speed of upload
- Alerting of issues/problems with upload
- Maybe a little bit more help text and process instruction
- A few more bells and whistles/automation could help

It is used to add new leads and contact information to Salesforce. It's being used by Sales enablement department. It helps in keeping the data available to the sales teams. Dataloader provides an easy way to add data as large amounts of data can be added instantly. Dataloader is also easy to use and troubleshoot if needed.
- Easy to use
- Uploads large amount of data
- Easy to troubleshoot
- Learning curve
- Doesn't notify when there are data errors

Dataloader is used by our Sales Operations team to update sales records in bulk. This has allowed us to:
- Maintain data integrity easily and efficiently
- Add new information into our SalesForce environment easily and efficiently
- Update our accounts, account owners, contacts, and contact information easily and efficiently
- Maintain opportunity progression over a large number of accounts
- Close opportunities in bulk to alleviate the manual entry from salespeople and enable them to sell more products!
- Easily update a wide swath of data.
- Significantly reduce manual manipulation of data.
- Built in efficiencies to templatize recurrent data loads.
- User downloads is a bit cumbersome.
- Easier method to sign back in.
- More robust training material.
September 12, 2020

I used Dataloader pretty much everyday to upload new data or update existing data in Salesforce. It is being mainly used in our sales operations department. It helps with the data management in Salesforce, ensuring people have their access needed to each account and therefore could make new quotes for an account.
- Automatic mapping on fields with similar names.
- Fast loading process.
- Allows bulk changes to be made though the upsert option.
- Update option is being rarely used, unsure about the difference between upsert and update.
- Always get errors when setting the batch API as a large number.
- Sometimes I get loading errors when the number of records that need to be loaded is large.

It is used by the IT dept. We use it to upload data files with lots of data, i.e., over 100mb Excel spreadsheets with hundreds of thousands of rows. It is a decent tool that gets the job done, although the UI definitely could be better. Doesn't seem like it is a major priority for Salesforce.
- Uploading large amounts of data
- Mapping data to the correct fields
- Simplifying the process of data upload
- The UI
- Often spits out error messages that are not specific.
- Usually takes more than 1 attempt to install it
We use Dataloader.io for a very single department using Salesforce. Each department that has onboarded onto Salesforce had some sort of operational tool or platform used for their data management. Most of these systems were legacy-based and required servers or on-prem access. I used dataloader.io for each department to import, update, and/or upsert their data into Salesforce.
- Upserts
- Imports
- Updates
- Upserting more dynamically
- Updating/Inserting more custom configurations/objects.
- Less expensive cost
September 18, 2020

We currently use Dataloader.io to mass update and insert records into our Salesforce environments for large data driven projects.
- Updating existing records.
- Inserting new records.
- Upserting into current records.
- Data mapping.
- The UI is a little dated.
- The mapping function could be more intuitive.
- The time it takes to update on large uploads could be improved.

We used Dataloader.io to import, export, and delete data from our student portal to another system we use to manage accounts on campus. We also used Dataloader.io to import large amounts of contact information from other sources like standardized testing agencies and college fairs our recruitment attended throughout last year.
- Ease of use
- No need to download software
- Security
- Expensive
- Priced per user
- Only email & community support
Dataloader is a very powerful tool by Mulesoft, Salesforce. Being an admin of data I use this tool for basic operations like Insert, Update, and Delete. Dataloader has a simple interface. It is a powerful tool for mass update the contacts or deletes. With the simple mapping of fields, you can perform these operations (Insert, Update, Delete) on your data. Duplicates and incorrect data can be rectified using this tool and the purpose of why I use this tool is for data cleansing.
- It supports a mass update of contacts in a single go.
- Basic operations like Insert, Update and Delete are possible.
- It has a simple interface, no major training is required.
- Limit of free usage can be extended.
- Finding errors while performing an operation is tricky.
December 07, 2019
We're attempting to implement an integration between our MySQL database and Salesforce. The process of this relies on Dataloader.io and it's upload scheduler.
- Smooth Dropbox Integration
- False advertising on feature availability in the Free version. We'd like to expand these integrations, but there's 0 chance we're paying money before we know if their product works for us. As it is, their support article dated September 2019 indicates you can use the free version to schedule one task. That's false. Attempting to schedule 1 task redirects you to a pricing page and hits you up for a subscription.
- Literally 0 support exists for people who are not paying customers. I get that they're a business, and want to make money but they're following the troubling trend of documenting predominantly features and not limitations, then denying support to users running into these invisible barriers. As a consumer, I judge how a business will treat me when I'm paying them money based on how they treat me when I'm not.
Dataloader.IO is currently being used by the Enterprise Applications IT team, of which I am a part of. We decided to use the paid version of Dataloader.IO because it easily bridged gaps that other data loading Salesforce applications lacked in. The UI is amazing, but more importantly, it is not a local download. Dataloader.IO is cloud-based and can be accessed anywhere with internet access from any computer. Other applications require a local download and take up memory and processor power on your local machine during data loads, or extractions, which could slow you down when working on a large project. The ability to easily extract data across multiple objects makes this tool even more powerful. If there is a lookup field on the object you are extracting data from, you can also pull data that is related via that lookup. Features like this are super important, but our number one reason was the ease of extracting Salesforce attachments in bulk and in original file format! I am not aware of any tools, at least free tools, that allow you to extract files in original file format. This is critical when migrating data across Salesforce orgs, and will improve not only data quality but the stakeholders percieved value of the data being migrated.
- 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.
- Since Dataloader.IO is cloud-based, you will find that some objects require you to extract in batches of 100,000. Regardless of the number of fields, 2 or 50, you will need to batch into groups of 100,000 which requires you to use criteria such as data ranges, owners, etc.
- You will need to conform to the date/time formatting within Dataloader.IO, which differs from Dataloader and other similar tools. This is a very minor inconvenience; however, you will need to know the different formats and when to use them.

We use dataloader.io for uploading and updating product configurations for Salesforce CPQ as well as cleaning out (deleting) spam emails that come in through email-to-case. It is also a good way for us to upload leads after trade shows, that occasionally error out when trying to upload using the built in Salesforce data loader.
- The selection of objects is much better and more extensive than the Salesforce built in data loader.
- Cross referencing of fields for record IDs is easy to use. I can work through this so much more quickly than using the built in Salesforce data loader.
- Success and error files are easy to identify what needs to be fixed (errors) and identification of records created (successes), so you can quickly do spot checks in your Salesforce org after doing a data load.
- The number of rows per month for a basic package, 100,000, is great for our business.
- When files do not load, it is sometimes hard to identify the error.
March 14, 2018
We use Dataloader.io to import and update data in Salesforce. We utilize Dataloader.io over other products when we need to reference other objects in Salesforce and don't have IDs. Its ability to retrieve IDs based on on other fields saves us a lot of time! It is currently being used by our Salesforce administrators.
- The user interface is very easy to use. When I show new admins the different tools they can use Dataloader.io is usually the one they prefer.
- The ability to look up Salesforce IDs based on other fields.
- Keeping a history of jobs with success and error files is a big help. You don't need to save field mappings somewhere else, and you can quickly review what you imported/updated previously.
- The status/progress indicator doesn't always update. Not a big deal, and a quick refresh of the browser will fix this.
- The monthly limit of the free version keeps dropping.

For my application, Dataloader.io is being used by the marketing department to upload prospects into the marketing data tables in Salesforce.com. The main advantage to using the Dataloader.io app is that is saves countless hours versus doing manual data entry into the marketing database.
- It provides a simple, step-by-step process for uploading new data into Salesforce.
- The upload process is very efficient and can upload/delete/update a large number of records very quickly.
- For repeated tasks, Dataloader.io allows you to save your upload process for subsequent work.
- Dataloader.io has a good error checking function that alerts you to errors and puts them in an easy format to correct.
- I've found that, at times, the Dataloader.io app will be working on a upload process and not provide feedback that the process is still active.
- It can take a bit of time to set up the initial process for an upload.
- It would be nice if the app supported additional file formats for data uploads.

I prefer using Dataloader.io than the dataloader that Salesforce provides. It is much more intuitive and is functional for Professional Edition. As the Salesforce administrator, I am the only one who uses Dataloader.io. Importing into non-standard fields and custom fields are easier with Dataloader.io. I find it amusing that I am importing into a cloud solution using another cloud solution.
- I had compatibility issues with Salesforce's dataloader and it just wouldn't execute for our Professional Edition. I believe this was a API access issue. Dataloader.io worked.
- I requested access to non-standard fields, and I was able to identify those fields and update records very easily with Dataloader.io.
- I wasn't able to import batches due to not having API access, but I was still able to import less than 200 records.
- When I imported a file and it failed for any reason, Dataloader.io notified me and kept the file in a history for me to re-execute anytime. I could fix the problem on our production side and run the import again without having to remap.
- I actually really enjoy the features Dataloader.io offers as a sole user with limited needs. I see a lot of bells and whistles, like the getting files from an FTP site or Dropbox, so I can't really expect or recommend any improvements.

Dataloader is used within the office of admission as well as the office of graduate and professional studies. It is used in conjunction with TargetX/Salesforce.com to batch import and update records within the CRM.
- Dataloader is a great tool for batch importing new records into TargetX/Salesforce.com.
- It is also used for batch updating records already in the CRM system.
- Dataloader has the ability to batch delete specific fields/items on records, as well as batch deleting the records themselves.
- Not all fields are available for matching a record during updating. It would be great to be able to use any unique record identifier to match on. However, this may be a limitation of the CRM system, and not a limitation of Dataloader itself.
I trust Dataloader.io every day to load and export data in support of our Salesforce.com instance, and our sales reps trust me to insert new data accurately and in a timely fashion. Without Dataloader.io to support our ETL processes, I don't know what I would do. Dataloader.io makes mapping fields extremely easy- and although performing bulk tasks in a live environment is always nerve-wracking, I am supremely happy to report that if anything should ever go wrong when upserting data I have only myself to blame.
I use Dataloader.io both at my job, and as a consultant, for non-profit and for-profit institutions alike. My hat's off to Mulesoft for putting together a great program that I can trust. Despite bad apples in the world of software, I feel that Mulesoft and Dataloader.io in particular are examples of success that live up to their promises.
Thank you Mulesoft for providing us with such a great tool!

Thank you Mulesoft for providing us with such a great tool!
- Flexibility in extract and load processes; mapping fields is extremely easy.
- Performance driven; jobs of 60,000 records take under a minute to complete.
- Compatibility with all Salesforce objects, standard and custom.
- 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.

Dataloader.io is a great tool provided by Salesforce for managing, importing, updating, and exporting data. As a Salesforce Developer, I use Dataloader everyday to manage large data sets. With the graphical tool, users can easily drag and drop to map all the fields they need to import or export data. I found Dataloader a very powerful tool especially in managing large data sets. And you know, in every business, data is the king.
- Insert, Upsert Data from CSV file into Salesforce.
- Export data from Salesforce to a CSV file.
- Dataloader will tell you what are the errors in managing data when you try to insert or upsert data.
- Mapping fields especially with ObjectID is sometimes not quite smooth.
- The error messages in CSV file sometimes are not quite clear. Users hardly find a solution in fixing the errors.
- You cannot export more than 10,000 rows using Dataloader.io, it would be the limitation
We use Dataloader.io as an alternative to the Apex tool. The interface is much easier to navigate and makes more sense as an Administrator. It's currently used to update accounts and add new accounts. We also use it to upsert records in a complex Parent hierarchy.
- Clones jobs
- Easily edit existing jobs
- Search jobs
- More seamless integration into Salesforce.com
- Duplicate tools built in

It is primarily being used to conduct data jobs. It is being used by me, the Salesforce admin and expert at the company. The data it touches is across the whole organization. It allows us to do data jobs without the apex data loader. It is easy to teach others how to use.
- In the cloud. You don't have to download or install anything.
- Doesn't require security token.
- Easy to use interface and mappings.
- Ability to save and re-run jobs.
- Sometimes exports fail.
- Doesn't work with ftp or box or dropbox.
- No upsert feature.
