I love the FindID tool for finding records in Salesforce. We have been using these tools for many years. I like that the power grid which allows you to manipulate the data like in a spreadsheet. I also find MassImpact and MassEffect very helpful too and superior alternatives to the Salesforce-provided tool. Simple data manipulations are easy using built-in functions (such as reformatting phone numbers or addresses) as well as more complicated (and therefore somewhat more complicated to configure) updates based on things such as regular expressions). There is quite a bit of flexibility built into the tools. It allows you to update records based on logic only. No file uploads necessary! This is extremely powerful for mass updating records. I've used it to update relationships, correct older data, and update values during migrations. They are able to make real-time changes to our data, find/search the database, locate/merge duplicates, etc. And we are only scratching the surface with all I know the tools are capable of. I would give 10/10 but there is always room for improvement.

Powerful tool that saves time and money
I haven't used anything like DemandTools.
In terms of functionality, both tools can accomplish the same tasks. RingLead's UI was far superior and with it being web-based would likely have alleviated a lot of the pains I've been experiencing with using DemandTools on the VM. Ultimately, we went with DemandTools because the cost was significantly lower, it accomplished what we needed, and UI was not as big of an issue since I already have experience with the platform. In hindsight, a lot of the issues we've encountered would have likely been a non-issue had we initially gone with RingLead, and as a result, may influence future decisions we make around this type of tool.

Love the merge function!
I have only used Salesforce's Dataloader.
It has been years since we looked at other tools, and while I know we reviewed four different solutions when we picked Demand Tools, it has been so long I don't remember who. We are so happy with the product, we have not gone to search for any other alternatives since we started using it over 5 years ago.
It was recommended to us in 2012 and we didn't pursue alternatives as it worked perfectly for our needs.
We still use Apex Data Loader on occasion, but by-and-large we primarily use DemandTools for virtually all of our data manipulation needs.
The only time we really use Apex Data Loader is to load new data into the system, but that's only because we haven't developed reliable import data mappings with DemandTools yet. We never use Data Loader to actually update data or delete it; We always turn to DemandTools for that.

I was not part of the decision making process for this, so I have no insight about other tools.

DemandTools for Higher Ed
DemandTools is more versitile than Dataloader.io, however, Dataloader.io is offered for free. I have used Cloudingo for data merging, but not as frequently, so I do not have a good comparison.

DemandTools is powerful but difficult to use
DemandTools is far more flexible and better at processing large numbers of records. Also much more difficult to use and much more expensive.
We haven't evaluated any other tools for the last few years. I know there are alternatives for dupe catching in Salesforce and Salesforce has launched tools for finding duplicate accounts/contacts. We haven't explored those so we can't speak to their efficacy.
- RampedUp.io, S&P Capital IQ and D&B Optimizer (formerly NetProspex)
We have used alternatives for sourcing 3rd party data and appending results to our 1st party data, and we have used contractors for data stewardship services, but no other alternatives to directly manage our 1st party data in the way we use DemandTools.

Powerful tool to save you time!
DemandTools seems more intuitive than Dataloader. It seems to have more options to help get through records quickly. The one feature I wish DemandTools had is the ability to just update a record without making an actual field change.

DemandTools: Every Salesforce Admin's Fix-It tool!
I have used many of the native Salesforce functions and they just aren't as user-friendly or quick as DemandTools. There are limitations to how many records you see or change at a time with Salesforce, but with DemandTools, I can easily change 1 million records. I actually just deleted about 4 million records using PowerGrid and trying to accomplish a feat like that in Salesforce would have been frustrating and taken more than twice the time.

Wouldn't be able to function without DemandTools
There is not even a comparison to make between the two. DemandTools, hands down, has more functionality.
We have to go through the 6Sense tool for analytics and data standardization. We have chosen DemandTools over 6Sense because the use cases we had were most achievable with DemandTools. Other than this, we also read very good reviews of DemandTools on Trust Radius over 6Sense. DemandTools also has an added advantage of a large customer base over other tools.

Great product! Helps us every day.
We started using DupeBlocker and DemandTools very early in the life of our Salesforce org. It is the only duplicate product we have used to this point because it did what we needed. Originally, it was free for non-profits which is part of the reason we selected it early on.
I also looked into RingLead several years ago and had some issues with I believe a free trial, so ended up choosing DemandTools at the time. I've used DemandTools at all other companies I've worked at since.

I love how user-friendly DemandTools is!
I haven't really shopped around for any other tool since I am pretty comfortable using this one and have read great reviews about it too.
LeanData was a tool we looked at for Lead to Account matching. Ultimately we went with DemandTools because the control we had over the matching algorithm. We actually achieved a 20% higher match rate using DemandTools because of our ability to control the matching rules. Other than LeanData I have never come across a tool that does anything remotely as well as DemandTools, it is truly the full data administration suite.
I have not used other products in this space. My understanding when speaking to others is that, were it not for the cost issue, there would be no competitor for this suite of tools.

DemandTools is Essential for TargetX
I haven’t used any other products like DemandTools.
Freely available data loader by Salesforce. But to save time and ease of use, DemandTools was selected.
