Have you ever had trouble deciding how to load your data into or out of Salesforce? We have several different tools to help you do so, and each has different requirements, supported editions, and limits. With all these options, it’s easy to get confused. Before, to determine which tool best fit your needs, you had to look in several different places. You don’t have to rummage anymore!

We’ve published a comparison of all the ways you can import or export data, featuring both tools and APIs. For each of these, you’ll find information about:

  • Which editions support it,
  • How many records you can import or export, and
  • Whether it imports data, exports data, or does both.
