Metazoa Monarch - Relational Data Migration

If I could give this company and product higher than 5 stars I would!

Firstly, the fact that a small company made their product free for an entire month is amazing! Second, I am working with a College to do a org move from NPSP to a GEM/EDA org and the data in the parent org was a complete nightmare. Due to this product and being free we were able to meet our deadline and successfully with minimal issue move some complex data from org to the other. The support I received here I have yet experience this from any other app-exchange vendor, they literally consulted me on how to accomplish this every step of the way. As an admin you need this tool, it empowers you to do a lot of things that could and would require scripts and/or code.

Huge time saver - makes complex dataset transfers easy

Monarch is a HUGE time savings! I was faced with the task of moving all data from a Salesforce application from one org to a separate, totally unrelated org. The application had about 80 custom objects, about 20 of which had data that I needed to move. I fired up Monarch, and, full disclosure, even though I was doing a test in a Sandbox org I was overwhelmed and fearful that I would really, REALLY screw something up. So I contacted Metazoa Support and asked, "Hey, do you do consulting work? Can I contract for a few hours of your time?" The Metazoa Support contact responded right away with, "Wait, what? You want to pay for our time? We're not like other support organizations; we actually want to help you. Let's just get on a Zoom and I can walk you through what you need to do." After spending only 10 minutes with Metazoa Support I knew exactly what to do. I built a dataset, migrated the dataset, and OH MY FREAKING HECK the data magically appeared in my destination org. One thing to keep in mind is that you do need to know something about the relationships between objects. The good news is that even though I thought I knew all the relevant relationships myself, Monarch suggested other relationships that I had neglected to include. Had I not used Monarch, moving the data would have taken me countless hours of extracting data from the source org, doing a bazillion VLOOKUPs in Excel to merge Salesforce IDs to related objects, and lots of trial and error with the Salesforce Dataloader to load the data in the correct sequence. With Monarch, I simply built a dataset with all relevant objects, pressed a button to migrate the data, and that was it! I did a couple of test runs in a Sandbox org to make sure that I covered every detail, and then migrated into Production. End of story. Other members of my team have now used Monarch and everyone has been equally impressed with its power and ease of use. Once again, Metazoa nails it!
