Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Reduce Duplicate records.
  • Allow mass updates to records.
  • Easy system to use.

Cons

  • Perhaps change the layout.
  • Perhaps some automation.
  • Have a saved scenario option.

Most Important Features

  • Deduplication
  • MassImpact
  • MassBackup

Return on Investment

  • Prevents overspending.
  • Frees up database space.
  • Allows us to communicate effectively.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Find/Report ID tool to cross check external data with internal data.
  • Make changes with MassImpact without importing or exporting data.
  • Insert, Update, Upsert, Delete to MassEffect uploaded data.

Cons

  • The user interface can be cleaned up a bit.
  • It tends to slow my system down a bit when using the tool.
  • Exporting options can be limited, then maybe in settings add as needed different options.

Most Important Features

  • MassImpact
  • MassEffect
  • Find/Report IDs (crucial)

Return on Investment

  • It took me a while to learn the tool.
  • I really love their knowledge base online it can be overwhelming with tooo much info and scenarios.
  • We have external money coming in that we must match if the donor exists or not, if not add them and then soft credit them. Very handy!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Mass Updates.
  • Mass Deletes.
  • Finding and reporting IDs.

Cons

  • Deduping- we need to manually review each to make sure they are in fact the same person and it would be nice to see if there are others in the same position who have found better criteria to pull dupes in by other than the same email. In higher ed, you find a lot of times a parent email is provided and attached to multiple child records.

Most Important Features

  • Mass Impact
  • Mass Effect
  • Find and Report Ids

Return on Investment

  • We had trouble getting it installed but once over that hill we loved the product.

Pros

  • Webinars are helpful resources.
  • Very useful for managing large amounts of data.

Cons

  • I wish I could make changes to my existing scenarios using save rather than having to create a whole new scenario. Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to.
  • Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn.

Return on Investment

  • Increased efficiency and time savings.
  • Automating saves staff resources.
  • Data is cleaner than it would be if manually entered.
