Overall Satisfaction with DemandTools

DemandTools is used by the Salesforce team. While Salesforce has some fairly powerful 1st party tools, the advanced data transformation and ID reporting that we are able to pull using DemandTools makes it our primary tool of choice.

Pros

  • The 'Find/ Report' ID module is incredibly useful and proven a valuable function to have when receiving lists of data updates, but no ID provided.
  • Single Table deduplication is a relatively quick and easy tool to help manage duplicate data sets within your database.
  • Mass upsert or insert of data. I use DemandTools daily to do mass data upserts and clean up any inconsistent data. Since I can build out and save scenarios for specific tasks, this is quick and painless

Cons

  • The one area the tool could improve upon is UI. It can be difficult to navigate and find what you're looking for. They have made a recent improvement though and have added a search box for objects. This is a blessing for anyone with a largely customized SF org.
  • Data integrity + overall cleanliness
  • Ongoing database management
  • Ease of data manipulation - both upserts and inserts
DemandTools is easily the most powerful of the tools I've used for data manipulation in Salesforce. While I will jump between different tools for different SF org; DemandTools is the only program that I have full confidence in, no matter the task at hand. The alternatives may be easier on the eyes or for use by beginners, but lack the depth and breadth of viability that DemandTools offers.
DemandTools is a go-to toolset for everything data manipulation related to Salesforce. Need to insert or upsert any size data set? DemandTools can do that and do so efficiently. Even errors are made easy to deal with, with success and failure files provided after each one. Single Table De-dupe is a godsend for organizations needing to clean up their database with very granular settings. The only scenario where DemandTools may not be the best tool is for new Admins, still acclimating to Salesforce.
