Comparison
Kauro and Salesforce's own import tools.
These do different jobs, and you use both. The Data Import Wizard and Data Loader load files you have prepared. Kauro prepares and verifies the files and the steps, then your team loads them with Data Loader.
What Salesforce's import tools do and what Kauro does
| Aspect | Data Import Wizard and Data Loader | Kauro |
|---|---|---|
| Job | Load files you prepared into your Salesforce organisation. | Checks, prepares and verifies the files and the steps; it never writes to your Salesforce organisation. |
| Size | Salesforce says the Data Import Wizard imports up to 50,000 records at a time and Data Loader up to 150 million records at a time. | Its limits are on Supported services. |
| Which tool for which job | Salesforce recommends Data Loader for larger volumes, for objects the Wizard does not support and for regular scheduled loads. | Prepares import files for Data Loader, with the field mapping and the steps in dependency order. |
| Duplicates | The page read does not describe how duplicates are found; check Salesforce's current documentation. | Measures duplicate candidates across the whole set and proposes groups to unify; your team approves each. |
| Before you commit | You prepare the files and run the load in your organisation. | A free data health check shows exact counts before any quote. The quote shows the price before you pay. |
When Salesforce's tools alone are enough
If your files are already clean and you know your mapping, the Wizard or Data Loader may be all you need. Kauro is for exports that need checking, duplicates to review, or a load you want prepared and verified first. Kauro does not deploy fields, validation rules or automations.
