New UI, (more or less) same ol' DemandTools!

What differentiates Validity DemandTools from other similar products?

DemandTools' feature rich product makes it one of the best declarative ETL tools that I've used. There are other ones that are snappier, but they lack the relatively intuitive UI. Specifically all of the advanced matching options available in the Match module (formerly find/report IDs) make this a very strong product. Also, now scenarios are cloud based which is fantastic for jobs that multiple team members do or jobs that happen in a Sandbox environment that need to be tested before being moved to Prod.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Before the UI redesign, the entire PowerGrid module was my favorite aspect of the product. However in the UI redesign I like that you can very easily switch between instances or Orgs, this is great for our particular work as we often work out of a Developer Sandbox, then a Full Copy Sandbox then finally work is deployed to a Production environment. Being able to switch between those environments, and also share scenarios between those environments has been a life-saver in more than a few occasions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I miss PowerGrid. I think that the new UI is better visually, but it comes at the cost of some really great features in the older (and uglier) 2.91 version. In addition to changing the names of the modules (requiring veteran users to re-learn a few core features) the new UI struggles quite a bit with being intuitive to use. There are more than a few baffling design choices, where it's difficult to find specific features that were very easy to find before. Also PowerGrid or some functional alternative I've been unable to find.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's not a bad tool, even with the new UI. It takes some getting used to, especially if you're unfamiliar with data management. If you are familiar with it, give it a shot, and try out a demo!
