Like with most other database connection drivers, this allows me to remotely connect using a third-party tool to extract data from Salesforce tables for the entire organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only qualm about the driver (and it's not a deal-breaker) is that it requires certain developer permissions to use. If we want some users to be able to extract data themselves that can be troublesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
