Dataloader.io Reviews

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

Professional version is really expensive.

Lack of features.

Progress bar indicator would be helpful.

Options for quickly switching between salesforce orgs.

Increase monthly limits for free edition.

Maybe a little bit more help text and process instruction

A few more bells and whistles/automation could help

Learning curve

Doesn't notify when there are data errors

User downloads is a bit cumbersome.

Easier method to sign back in.

More robust training material.

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.

The UI

Often spits out error messages that are not specific.

Usually takes more than 1 attempt to install it

Upserting more dynamically

Updating/Inserting more custom configurations/objects.

Less expensive cost

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.

Expensive

Priced per user

Only email & community support

Limit of free usage can be extended.

Finding errors while performing an operation is tricky.

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.

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.

When files do not load, it is sometimes hard to identify the error.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

More seamless integration into Salesforce.com

Duplicate tools built in

Sometimes exports fail.

Doesn't work with ftp or box or dropbox.

No upsert feature.
