Overall Satisfaction with Dataloader.io
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
- Dataloader is a great graphical tool in managing data.
- However, it has some limitations like SQL statement cannot exceed 2000 words, or export data cannot exceed 10,000 rows.
I am a Salesforce Developer, and managing data in Salesforce with Dataloader.io is extremely helpful.
