Duplicates come in all forms, shapes, and sizes. There may not be a one-size-fits-all solution that can comprehensively identify all your duplicates right out of the box, but there are powerful options that can be tailored to your needs. DataGroomr and Cloudingo are both market leaders for Salesforce deduping. DataGroomr uses machine learning to catch duplicates and offers a comprehensive, holistic approach by examining entire records rather than individual fields.

Cleaning Functionality
When working with raw data, a thorough data cleansing is always necessary due to the volume of duplicates. Cloudingo offers functionality for detecting duplicates, but DataGroomr dives deeper into duplicates and provides a more thorough cleaning.Â

Undo/Restore Merge
A major feature that distinguishes both DataGroomr and Cloudingo from other duplicate management solutions is the ability to revert merges back to their original state – but DataGroomr is the new industry leader in providing a range of capabilities in reversing mergers. Also, DataGroomr does not store data outside of your Salesforce org, while Cloudingo does give you that option.
DataGroomr’s offers two different options to recover from a merge. The Undo feature restores merged records from the Salesforce recycle bin and is available for up to 14 days after the merge process (the retention period set by Salesforce) and recreates related object relationships. Rollback is a more robust restore operation than Undo and restored data can be available indefinitely. Neither option requires any user configuration.
Cloudingo’s restore functionality is more complicated to configure. You will need to decide whether to store backups in Cloudingo cloud storage or your own.
| DataGroomr | Cloudingo | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | No configuration required | Complicated to configure |
| Data storage | No external storage required | Requires external cloud storage |
| Features | Undo and Rollback | Undo only |
