Our organization had a wide range of issues in regards to data management. With the integration of so many third party applications, it is easy to create duplicate records if there are no proper way of tracking, monitoring, and sanitizing that data coming in. DemandTools has made it easy for us, with DupleBlocker, to create rules to identify duplicates based on email, first name, and last name. The actions we have taken at the moment is to simply report it so we can manually take action to merge or leave alone. This is one of many features we love.

We use DemandTools to dedupe records in our Salesforce Org. DemandTools allows us to use various scenarios to find duplicate records that may have used more than 1 email address. Reducing the number of duplicates in our system allows us to save money when it comes to sending out various print materials to potential students. We do not end up wasting multiple materials to one record or any additional postage it may take. We also use MassImpact to allow us to update large amounts of records in one instance instead of having to do it multiple times.

We use DemandTools to mass update records to add or change information, lead to contact deduping, contact to contact deduping, and finding and reporting IDs to cut back on the dupes created when large imports are being brought into the database. Validity has provided support and resources to help me familiarize myself with the product. I know we are just scraping the surface of what this product can do and am looking forward to continued use.

I use DemandTools as a way to manage the data in my Salesforce org. It is a useful tool for the deduplication of records. Duplicates are always a problem in any CRM system. DemandTools makes it easy to manage by allowing for use of advanced logic to locate the duplicates and merge them. I also use DemandTools to find specific records or records that match logical criteria. It is great for returning the record IDs for the matched records.

DemandTools is being used by a single department (sales operations) to handle multiple issues, such as identifying and merging duplicate accounts/contacts, updating ownership, and easily identifying data errors. We use it a few times a month normally, but more heavily when we are onboarding anything new from a merger/acquisition. It is especially good when other organizations have not kept up with their data or you don't trust the source.

We use DemandTools frequently in our Sales Team to make mass changes, mass conversions, or de-duplicate our system. This tool is also very helpful in relating marketing lists with little information to current people in our system using the Find Report IDs feature.

This tool takes makes Salesforce Admin time a breeze. Things that would take hours to address manually are completed quickly with pre-loaded scenarios in DemandTools that work best for our organization.

DemandTools is used by several departments across campus. I use it to load and manage data for the admissions office at WPI. We receive data from a wide range of sources. For example, we purchase names from third-party vendors, have registration for campus events, high school visits, college fairs, etc. I load those lists using Finding Ids, Mass Effect and use the Single Table dedupe tool to merge duplicates not caught by our scheduled jobs. DemandTools saves us hours of time as we do not have to manually add all those contacts to the database using inquiry forms. We aren't recreating contacts already in the database and we can easily adjust and update contact information for recruits already in the database who may have moved, or changed email addresses. We save resources by using the schedule jobs feature to dedupe records after hours. Also, DemandTools has been a life-safer to mass correct data.

We use DemandTools across our entire organization. We have used it to migrate and merge Salesforce orgs into one org, cleaning data, merging accounts and contacts that are duplicated. We also use it for quick analysis of objects and fields to determine usage and review data hygiene efforts. For those with an engineering or data science background, this tool is a perfect mix of extraction, analysis and ability to write back to records.

It is used as a solution to our phone system, Bolt, for Salesforce. By formatting the data in Salesforce, we were able to achieve meaningful comparisons between the inbound number and our customer base, allowing us to intelligently route calls to specific groups, salespeople or automated responses, transforming the experience from the customer's perspective.

We use it as a replacement and enhancement to the native Salesforce tools. DT is more powerful and easier to use. It is used by several departments. We definitely depend on it and have many, many JobBuilder batches using a whole variety of DTs.

DemandTools is incredibly valuable to our organization. The Find/report IDs makes cross referencing our extensive database a breeze. Using Job builder we have been able to automate a ton of tasks that allow our business to function. I find single table dedupe to a very powerful tool for removing duplicates from our database. DemandTools greatly increases the speed with which we are able to get data properly into our system, and therefore how quickly we are able to act on it.

Our two main use cases are deduplication and find/report IDs. Until we have more a robust, automated deduplication processes with our external systems, we use the Dedupe tool to merge Salesforce accounts and contacts daily. As a company, we also acquire smaller financial firms with their own book of customers. Before we import a new list of contacts, we use the find/report IDs function to make sure none of the new contacts already exist in Salesforce.

The admins at our company currently use DemandTools to make updates to database and run de-duping scripts amongst other things. Also, the scheduled batch functionality that it provides helps us run batches at pre-determined time intervals and helps with data quality rectification.

It is being used by my department only. Actually, I am the only one using it daily. It is a great tool for data management and data maintenance. I use the modules Mass Impact, MassEffect, PowerGrid, Find/Report ID's, Single Table Dedupe, [and] Lead Conversion to manage the org data. It is easier to use without any coding and it much easier to view and make the updates simultaneously. The BulkBackup [was] just one click and majority got done. And scenarios help me work so efficiently.

DemandTools is currently used in our Technology Department; however I am currently training our Admissions Department on how to leverage the tool.
Due to the nature and volume of contacts within our organization (millions), we mainly use demand tools as a de-duping tool. Our main focus is on contact, accounts, and opportunities but we also use it on the case object.

We use DemandTools heavily in our department. It is a vital tool for removing duplicates, checking for incomplete records and just mass moving data. I use PowerGrid weekly, the flexibility to be able to drill down and pull in exactly the fields and filtered data I need is very powerful. In PowerGrid, I can easily visually scan the pared down data and change only those exact fields on individual records that I want, in a mass batch. I also recently started building out jobs in "Job Builder". I build out scenarios in Mass effect (For example: Opportunities missing an Amount) then I can "batch" those individual jobs into "scenarios" that I run on a daily basis to scrub and clean my data. It's a game changer for data integrity.

I had used "Data Loader" for many years to complete mass updates. It is a good tool, but Demand Tools does SO MUCH MORE. There was a small learning curve, but the library of short videos got me up and running within an hour. The online and scheduled classes are short, to the point, and very helpful in walking through each part of the application. I liked the short videos, because I tend to search for specific information when I need it. I don't want to watch an hour long video and try to retain all of that knowledge. I like the targeted modules - that allowed me to locate the specific piece of the application I was working with, and gave me the particulars for that.

I use DemandTools nearly every day as the Salesforce Administrator. I use Mass Effect and Mass Impact the most to help insert new records in bulk to mass edit records. We have done extensive rebuilding of our org over the past year and without the ability to update tens of thousands of records in bulk, it would have been nearly impossible.

I am currently using the Find / Report IDs module in preparation for a data migration into Salesforce. I'm a consultant for a large printing manufacturer and I'm currently working with the Channel Program team. We are sunsetting two legacy systems for them and migrating both Accounts and Contacts for both. The Find / Report IDs module enables me to locate existing records in our system using a series of complex matching scenarios. The reason this is extremely helpful for us is that it eliminates manually work of searching each Contact and Account to determine if there is an existing record in Salesforce to avoid creating duplicate records. We have hundreds of records so this is saving us days of work! I'm an avid user of DemandTools and recommend it to many companies I consult for!

It is mainly used by the Database Management Team to load and clean information.
The IT team also uses it with JobBuilder to synchronize data between Salesforce objects, export data regularly and also integrate data exported from other applications.

We use [DemandTools] to match contacts from external lists to our current database and organization in Salesforce. It helps highlight existing contacts or acknowledging ones that need to be created and managed differently. it is helpful in that regard. I think other departments use it differently for deduping records, creating leads, other means, etc. but I use it mostly for matching external lists from spreadsheets sent from other departments looking to have reports made and then using those reports to send major email communications to. It is pretty easy to use, especially once you load in scenarios that you can reference later. It helps manage data, that's probably it's greatest business solution being offered.
