What People Say About XL-Connector
Here’s what our customers have to say about Xappex products.
It’s like an Admin superpower
As a Salesforce admin, XL-Connector was my superpower for data loading and data transformation. I still recommend it to every admin I work with. It's one of my must haves in my toolkit.
Jason DobroleskiManager, Engagement at Traction Rec
Essential for SF Admins
I use this tool every day as a Salesforce admin! The ability to easily access and organize any Salesforce data makes a huge difference. I also love the Custom Metadata upload/update feature, which saves a ton of time and headache. I could not do my job without this tool.Claire YatesSalesforce Engineer в компании CPI Security
Awesome data management tool + more!
Simple to use, I have all my orgs connected to it and it is so easy to transfer data between source & destination with its field mapping and friendly UI. I especially love the additional tools for managing fields, picklists, FLS and more system orientated metadata. A real bonusRobert ReevesSenior BRM Salesforce at Zimmer Biomet
So Unique. So Useful. So Essential.
Thinking about it, if I lost access to this tool, I would really struggle to do my job or help customers. I genuinely believe it is the best money any company can spend on an AppExchange product, and it literally pays for itself within weeks when you see how much better your data becomes. It should also be the first tool any new Admin asks for when they start a new job.Dave HolfordSalesforce Solution Architect at Freelance
A robust tool for Admins and Consultants working from Excel
This tool has added so much value to projects and data loads over my consulting career. Being able to work from Excel to load test data into Sandboxes, understand how customer data is structured and download object data models has simply made my life easier and saved me hours. Additionally, the team at Xappex are responsive and supportive to feedback, suggestions, and queries.Alastair DinningEngagement Delivery Manager at Salesforce
