What do you like best about DemandTools?

cleaning and maintaining CRM data in less time with DT 2.91. I have not used the new version V. It is slick but it does not have all functionality like the 2.91 version. The different modules of this tool help us match, update, delete and merge data in different ways which help our team spend save less time in fixing and analyzing data and improve our productivity and deliverability. I can't thank enough Aja CSC manager at Validity for her outstanding support. She is always there for us even she is on vacation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

There is nothing much to say here, but it would be good if version V will have similar functionality like 2.91 would be good. It would be good if bulk- backup has the option to filter to select metadata objects vs objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DemandTools:

Demand tools and their module will surely help reduce a lot of manpower and help increase the productivity of your team, by reducing work comparing, merging, and managing your data very efficiently and effectively.

Powerful tool which can enumerate and assist clean your data in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

we have lots of data cleansing and merging projects to clear up our CRM system. The tool helps us find the best matching records in the system to select the duplicates and help us enumerate the overall data quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DemandTools?

Ability to schedule automated jobs -- for example I've scheduled an automated Contact de-dupe and merge process. They give you a lot of options on the confidence level of the match (i.e. email address and last name exact match with first name first letter match, vs. fuzzy match) so you can work with your team on what level of confidence you are comfortable with when executing a bulk de-dupe and merge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

1) Mac is not supported! My company provides only Macs to employees so we have to use a digital machine with Windows to utilize DemandTools.

2) The user interface is outdated. It feels like software from 2004. There's a bit of a learning curve partially due to the complexity of the UI, and partially due to the extensive options available to customize your data processes, but the functionality makes up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

First and foremost DemandTools is our default tool to solve the problem of data standardization in Salesforce. We recently updated our Industry picklist values for example, and simply prepared a csv with all the new Industry values that the old values mapped to, and after a quick import in DemandTools our CRM was updated to reflect our new industry definitions. This standardized data is foundational to our go to market motion (marketing segmentation and sales prospecting). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about DemandTools?

DemandTools makes every data task so much easier than it would be doing the work in Salesforce alone or using the DataLoader product that Salesforce makes available. It is truly the gold standard and I have been using it throughout my entire career. I'm at the point where a company has to have DemandTools for me to even consider working for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

The only think I don't like about DemandTools is while their Power Grid product is super helpful when I create a scenario and pull up some data I can't go back and modify the filters that I've used to pull that data. I can save the scenario and then load it again to play with the filters a bit but it's a few extra steps that could be avoided if they just had a 'modify filters' button or something similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DemandTools:

DemandTools can be an expensive resource, especially if you have a lot of Salesforce users in your org, but it pays for itself over and over in time saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

There is tremendous value in the time I've saved using Reassign Ownership, Mass Effect, Power Grid, Find IDs, Single Table DeDupe within DemandTools. The time savings is huge and time is money so it pays for itself over and over in the normal course of business. As a Salesforce administrator I use DemandTools every. single. day.

What do you like best about DemandTools?

Ease of use. Previously, writing a query and trusting the base dataloader to write complex queries and subsequently make mass updates was cumbersome and time consuimg. With DemandTools, everything is simplified (and this was even before the upgrade to DemandTools V)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

Some of the new features in DemandTools V are a bit more complex than in the previous UI. However, this is more of a user issue so my only complaint would be to publish more help articles or hold some more 101/201 sessions to make sure we're using the tool to it's full capabilities. Email verification could be better, we notice discrepancies with our other tools so haven't leveraged that fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

On the lowest level, data updates. However, it has now become our data manager on every level. Whether that be restricted to duplicates, easier queries (finding record IDs for example), matching criteria simplified, and finally being able to save these various scenarios to streamline the process to save valuable time on other adjacent projects.

What do you like best about DemandTools?

I like the flexibility to edit every object and field in our Salesforce platform in so many different ways. I can upload a spreadsheet I've pulled out of Salesforce, or I can pull a report in Demand Tools directly from the Salesforce platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

The User Interface seems to be a little outdated. Once you figure it out it's straightforward, but it's not as easy as Salesforce. There are a few things that make it difficult to navigate unless you know where to go, like having to select a line item and press the delete button in order to unselect it. There are also places that you have to drag and drop and others that you have to click the arrows and there isn't much instruction letting you know to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data management could not be handled without this tool! There is no way our staff could manage our office without it, there is not enoguh manpower to do things manually. This is an extremely valuable tool on a daily basis to update records, move records, and clean up data throughout the entire system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DemandTools?

DemandTools has the best in class set of tools for merging, updating and discovery. I haven't found another tool on the market with the full feature set. I utilize every part of the solution in my role as a salesforce consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

The DemandTools legacy UI Is challenging, the newer version DTV has a much better UI but is missing some features still. Once they align the functionality of DTV, I will utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DemandTools:

Pricing is all over the place. I find the pricing quotes to be inconsistent across clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use DT for the following: Merging duplicative data, cleaning up bad data entry, normalizing data such as state and country. I also utilize it to discover records to avoid creating duplicates. One of my favorite tools is the mass lead conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

I haven't gotten to use the newest release yet (Not because of an issue with DemandTools but with my own org structure) However, my success manager was able to take my issue to her development team and I will be able to use it in the next release! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about DemandTools is the ability to minipulated thousands of datasets in seconds. Tasks that would have taken my team days to complete can be done in seconds with DemandTools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

The downside is the cost. Being a non-profit organization our resouces our limited but there is no doubt that the value for the platform is worth it. I hope that there would be more discounts for non-profits in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DemandTools:

Be careful who on your team has/needs access to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data integration is one of the most time consuming tasks for our team. When integrations break we use DemandTools to help quickly backfill the data that didn't flow correctly the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DemandTools?

I only use this tool for data corrections which barely scratches the surface of its capability. The fact that you can use common label names instead of API names starts the long list of items I love about this product. It allows multiple tabs in a worksheet that allows you to do multiple uploads from one worksheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DemandTools?

There isn't anything I dislike about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DemandTools:

This tool is far better than Data Loader and is easier to use. It is also used by our marketing department to clean and scrub account data among other items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do implementations and data clean up on Salesforce and this tool is invaluable at cleaning up and population of data. It allows uploads, deletes, and updates. It also allows us to get at data in the system that is difficult to pull with a salesforce report or if the report types are lacking fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
