Overall Satisfaction with Dataloader.io

We use dataloader.io for uploading and updating product configurations for Salesforce CPQ as well as cleaning out (deleting) spam emails that come in through email-to-case. It is also a good way for us to upload leads after trade shows, that occasionally error out when trying to upload using the built in Salesforce data loader.
  • The selection of objects is much better and more extensive than the Salesforce built in data loader.
  • Cross referencing of fields for record IDs is easy to use. I can work through this so much more quickly than using the built in Salesforce data loader.
  • Success and error files are easy to identify what needs to be fixed (errors) and identification of records created (successes), so you can quickly do spot checks in your Salesforce org after doing a data load.
  • The number of rows per month for a basic package, 100,000, is great for our business.
  • When files do not load, it is sometimes hard to identify the error.
  • We are able to so much more efficiently update the records in our Salesforce org and keeping them synced between sandbox and production.
  • Errors in QA testing are decreased thanks to using dataloader.io instead of manually uploading records.
Dataloader.io is superior to the build in Salesforce data loader. There have been several occasions, particularly on leads, contacts and account records, where I get can error in Salesforce data loader, but am able to to successfully, and accurately load the same file through Dataloader.io. It seems that Dataloader.io is not as sensitive to formatting, particularly if a file has a mix of domestic and international phone numbers, but the quality of the data loads is just as good.
For the scenarios of having large amount of records that need to be added or updated, such as CPQ products, configurations, options, and price books, Dataloader.io is well suited. With the changes in the last few years from the Salesforce Dataloader, this software is quicker to upload new leads and is a little better than Salesforce data loader in automatically recognizing field titles.
