The reason I don’t fear CSV files anymore. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishal H. | Salesforce Developer, Manufacturing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** As a Salesforce developer/admin, I used to rely on Data Loader, but after discovering Demand Tools, I started working with it regularly. I really like its clean, intuitive, and user-friendly interface with no unnecessary confusion. One of my favorite implementation by tool is the key icon selection during data mapping, which makes it easy to identify the unique identifier. **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** I’ve been using Demand Tools for over a year, but recently, as a Salesforce developer/Admin, I noticed a major gap when comparing it to Salesforce Inspector. In Salesforce Inspector, we can perform all DML operations directly, and it automatically detects the primary key while mapping data. It also displays detailed errors next to each individual record during operations, making troubleshooting easier. In contrast, Demand Tools still only shows an overall error summary, without record-level error details — a feature I believe it’s still missing. I dislike about this implementation missing in Demand Tools. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** Demand Tools makes bulk data work in Salesforce so much easier. I use it for updates, uploads, and cleaning up duplicates, and it’s saved me a ton of time compared to other tools like data loader. It’s faster, less error-prone, and takes a lot of the hassle out of managing large data sets. **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Hi, Vishal! Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that DemandTools has become your go-to solution for bulk Salesforce work, and that its clean, intuitive interface has helped replace the frustration you once associated with CSV files. We love hearing that features like the key-icon selection during mapping are making your workflow faster and clearer. We also appreciate the comparison you shared with Salesforce Inspector. I did want to mention that DemandTools does provide detailed, per-record error logs after an Import job completes, including a line-item breakdown of the issue for each record. Even better, we’re rolling out functionality to surface these errors during the process—so you’ll be able to stop the job early instead of waiting for the full list to process. If you’re not currently seeing the per-record error logs, please ensure you’re on the latest version of DemandTools so you can take advantage of these updates. Thank you again for your review—we’re glad DemandTools is helping you work faster, reduce errors, and simplify complex data operations. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to improve the experience for you. ### 2. Powerful Duplicate Detection, But Lacks Dynamics Support **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** The ability to create scenarios to catch different types of duplicates caused by different types of errors is fantastic! We have ones for specific kinds of malformed data, ones for really obscure and rare match criteria (e.g. one of a contact’s parent’s email addresses + contact first name matches), etc.. **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** Using it with Dynamics. Nobody we’ve spoken with at support knows about Dynamics, all documentation is written for Salesforce, and nearly every bug we encounter is never-before-seen and the fix has to be slated for a future release. We’ve actually hardly gotten it working at all yet due to this. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our database is ~20% duplicates, so we need a highly robust solution to handle them. It would benefit us enormously if it worked. We’re still giving it a chance because their support has been attentive, the tool is affordable, and it has a ton of *promise* **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear that the flexibility of DemandTools scenarios is helping you catch even the most complex and unusual duplicate patterns — it’s great to know this capability is delivering value for your team. We also appreciate your honest feedback about using DemandTools with Microsoft Dynamics. We understand how frustrating it can be when documentation and troubleshooting resources don’t fully align with your CRM, and when some issues require future updates. While our support team is committed to helping, we recognize there’s more work to do to improve the Dynamics experience. With such a high volume of duplicates, having a reliable solution is essential. Thank you again for your patience, honesty, and partnership. Your feedback truly helps us improve. ### 3. Efficient, Intuitive, and Time-Saving Data Migration with DemandTools **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wendy P. | Sales Operations Project Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** What I appreciate most about DemandTools is its powerful capability to migrate thousands of records quickly and efficiently. It significantly streamlines data management tasks, saving valuable time and effort **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** One thing I find frustrating about DemandTools is the tagging experience in scenarios. When I select a tag, it doesn’t persist—so I have to repeatedly go back to the lookup every time I want to use another scenario from that tag. It would be much more efficient if the tag selection could be retained. Other than that, it's a great tool. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** DemandTools addresses the challenge of migrating large volumes of data from SAP to Salesforce (SFDC) within tight timeframes. Its scenario-based setup allows for efficient, repeatable processes that ensure data is transferred quickly and accurately—making it an invaluable tool for time-sensitive data operations. **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Hi Wendy, Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that DemandTools is helping you migrate thousands of records quickly and efficiently. It’s great to know the scenario-based setup is supporting your SAP-to-Salesforce workflows and making time-sensitive data operations smoother and more accurate. We also appreciate your feedback about the tagging experience. We believe you’re referring to the tag filter on the DemandTools Home page, where selecting a tag, loading a scenario, and then returning to the dashboard requires reapplying that tag filter. You’re correct—at this time, the tag selection doesn’t persist after navigating away from the page. We understand how retaining the selected tag would make it easier to choose the next scenario without re-filtering, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing this up. We encourage you to submit this suggestion to our feature request portal so our product team can review it for a future update. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and for helping us continue improving DemandTools! ### 4. User-Friendly Data Import, Duplicate Management for Salesforce **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** DemandTools provides a much more helpful way to import data into Salesforce, across multiple orgs, and into sandboxes. It's easy to navigate, and the user interface is very friendly to folks who get intimidated by complex or overly technical apps and programs. It's my go-to over Data Loader, hands down! DemandTools also makes the de-duping process so much easier! Finding duplicates and reconciling them is infinitely faster and more efficient! **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** Like all tools, it doesn't help much concerning Pardot/MCAE. But I can't fault them for that because no one else can do it, either. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a lot of duplicates as a result of improper data migration from other systems. DemandTools is helping us clean up our data and keep it clean so we can truly get a 360-degree view of our clients, subscribers, and customers. **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that DemandTools has become your go-to for importing data across Salesforce orgs and that the user-friendly interface makes the process feel approachable and stress-free. It’s great to know the deduplication capabilities are also helping you work faster and more efficiently — especially when dealing with a large volume of migrated data. We appreciate your note about Pardot/MCAE as well. While limitations on that front are shared across the industry, we’re always exploring ways to expand functionality where possible. Thanks again for sharing your experience. We’re glad DemandTools is helping you clean and maintain high-quality data so your team can get a true 360° view of your customers and subscribers. Your feedback means a lot to us! ### 5. LifeSavor, Smooth, Brilliant **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kharaam S. | Sr. Salesforce Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** We often use demand tools for duplicate management, deleting, and modifying records in bulk. The frequent refresher trainings really helps admins easily get back into using this product. The customer support portal is filled with videos and articles that are easily accessible and very helpful. We frequently sign in/out of sandbox and production to make changes to the data in both environments. **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** The only issue I have which I understand is unique to our organization is that with the frequent updates released, I have to contact our IT department to get their help with admin credentials to install the new versions. If only there was a way to bypass that and have my computer allow installation of the releases faster. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** We don't have to export the data, manipulate in Excel and upload back in. It is easy to find, filter, and modify data. It is very helpful to be notified of duplicates created using the scheduled jobs. **Official Response from Olivia Hinkle:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted DemandTools streamlines your data management and that our training and support resources are helpful. We appreciate your feedback about the update process and will share it with our team as we work to enhance your experience. Thank you again for choosing DemandTools and for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. If you ever have more feedback or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always here to help! ### 6. Looked for a duplicate matching tool and DemandTools fits the brief **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** How bespoke tool is, I love how I can weight values within fields, combine values for multiselect etc. It just hits the spot with how complex duplicate matching and merging can be, **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** The history element. Often I want to look back at past merges to see what happened but I can't do this, I can only see a row item for the entire merge job - it's not possible to review it to help troubleshoot any issues **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have many duplicate records in the system - primarily from prospective students and applicants. Often these two types of record can be the same person. DemandTools solves this issue and not only cleans up the database but helps us to reflect on ROI for our activities and spend. **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that DemandTools “hits the spot” for your complex duplicate-matching needs, especially with capabilities like weighting fields and handling multiselect values. Duplicate scenarios like those you described across prospective students and applicants can be challenging, and we’re glad DemandTools is helping you clean up your database and better understand ROI. We also appreciate your feedback about the history element. For now, you can access detailed history for Dedupe merges through the restore files or by exporting the grid detail before running a merge. These articles walk through the steps: https://knowledge.validity.com/s/articles/DemandTools-V-Release-Restore-Files?language=en_US https://knowledge.validity.com/s/articles/Dedupe?language=en_US (scroll to the bottom for the merge history details) Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback—we’re always working to improve, and insights like yours help us continue making DemandTools even more powerful and user-friendly. ### 7. Excellent tool and UI to work with Salesforce data in bulk. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew E. | Systems Integration Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** * UI is easy and intuitive * Good documentation * Functionality and capabilities **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** Working with really large data sets can be slower, especially as you try to progress into the 'preview' of the data. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** DemandTools is a powerful tool that helps us update and modify large quantities of data. It can also be a great tool the query data. DemandTools UI will populate fields in a picklist and connect to related objects in the UI. This is definitely more efficient that a SOQL query. **Official Response from Danielle Contin:** > Hi, Andrew! Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you find DemandTools’ UI intuitive, documentation helpful, and functionality robust. It’s fantastic to know the tool is making it easier to update, modify, and query large quantities of Salesforce data, improving efficiency compared to manual SOQL queries.

Want your data in Tip Top Shape? Demand Tools is the key! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Angie H. | COO, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2025 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** It is easy to use, implement and you customize to your needs. I have used Demand Tools at many previous companies, large and small and now with our clients and one thing remains the same, DTV meets all needs. I have been able to customize the modules to fit the needs of the database, use cases and enablement processes to achieve amazing results. As I started at my last company, the first thing I did was to utilize the Assess feature. I used this day one to set a baseline for our data quality and then set it to run monthly. I brought these reports to my 90 day, 6 month and annual reviews. Not only would I not start a new role without DTV, I relied on this to prove the outcomes of our database improvements! The support team behind it is also amazing! Have a question? Just ask! **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** There is not much to dislike. the team is available weekly for Office Hours and the product has a Feature Request button built in. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** Demand Tools helps with all things data - cleansing, quality and maintenance. It would be impossible to manage a Salesforce org without it **Official Response from Olivia Hinkle:** > Hi Angie. Thank you for sharing your experience with DemandTools and for your continued support. It's great to hear how you are using Assess to understand your data and stay ahead of issues. We're so glad DemandTools is critical in your many data management journeys. ### 10. Excellent Salesforce Administration Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff H. | Principal Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2024 **What do you like best about DemandTools?** The wide range of tools tools that allow many forms of data query, update, and deduping. Each is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it, and all have the ability to save Templates to repeat process over and over. The Object deduper allows for you to operate similar to the salesforce DEDUPE operation, across ANY objects. you can define rules that score which record to take as the master, so that bulk dedupe jobs can be relatively hands off. I have used this tool in it's various forms for 14+ years now. Early on, it was the only tool that did some of the jobs it can do. Now there are others, but this still hold true as a useful tool. **What do you dislike about DemandTools?** We were not thrilled with the licening model that changed from individual licenses (which were our Admins) to being based on total users, where we have Thousands. **What problems is DemandTools solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mass cleanup of data, Object Deduping, COmparison of data across several objects, mass updates of data as business rules change. **Official Response from Olivia Hinkle:** > Thank you for sharing your experience with DemandTools. We're pleased to hear that the tool has been valuable for mass data cleanup, deduping, and data comparison. Thank you for sharing your concerns about the licensing model change, we will consider this for future updates. ## DemandTools Discussions - [Is there a Pricing Change in 2019 you dont reflect in your profile](https://www.g2.com/discussions/13965-is-there-a-pricing-change-in-2019-you-dont-reflect-in-your-profile) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is DemandTools used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-demandtools-used-for) - 1 comment - [View DemandTools pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/demandtools/reviews/demandtools-review-7708395?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-16+07%3A57%3A58+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a5099d06-f62f-4198-8af1-80d6fe66af11&secure%5Btoken%5D=d2a6f02413703a166e91aa75478b2593e4d3eda5061a05c71663ee59ed4d0ba0&format=llm_user) ## DemandTools Integrations - [Agentforce 360 Platform (formerly Salesforce Platform)](https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-360-platform-formerly-salesforce-platform/reviews) - [Agentforce Sales (formerly Salesforce Sales Cloud)](https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-sales-formerly-salesforce-sales-cloud/reviews) - [Agentforce Service (formerly Salesforce Service Cloud)](https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-service-formerly-salesforce-service-cloud/reviews) - [Reach](https://www.g2.com/products/encoura-reach/reviews) - [Zego](https://www.g2.com/products/zego/reviews) ## DemandTools Features **Data Source Access** - Breadth of Data Sources - Ease of Data Connectivity - API Connectivity **Agentic AI - Salesforce AppExchange Apps** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Data Interaction** - Profiling and Classification - Metadata Management - Data Modeling - Data Joining - Data Blending - Data Quality and Cleansing - Data Sharing - Data Governance **Data Exporting** - Breadth of Integrations - Ease of Integrations - Data Workflows **Functionality** - Identification - Correction - Normalization - Preventative Cleaning - Data Matching **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Management** - Reporting - Automation - Quality Audits - Dashboard - Governance ## Top DemandTools Alternatives - [ZoomInfo Operations](https://www.g2.com/products/zoominfo-operations/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (345 reviews) - [Cloudingo](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudingo/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (37 reviews) - [Informatica Cloud Data Quality](https://www.g2.com/products/informatica-cloud-data-quality/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (19 reviews)
