Which solution should the consultant recommend?
Given the volume of the data to be migrated—two million account records and ten million contact records—a third-party tool is the most appropriate solution. Tools like the Data Import Wizard and Data Loader have limitations on the number of records they can handle. The Data Import Wizard supports importing up to 50,000 records, and the Data Loader can handle up to 5 million records, both of which fall short for this scenario. Batch Apex is intended for batch processing within Salesforce rather than data migration from external systems. Therefore, a third-party tool is recommended to effectively manage and facilitate the migration of such a large dataset.
B is correct. Beyond 10 million, Salesforce recommends to use a partner tool/3rd party tool/AppExchange product. D. Batch apex: Is irrelevant considering the data migration happens from the legacy system and not within Salesforce org. A and C are ruled out by default considering the capabilities of the respective tools
D - only batch apex. Data Import Wizard supports only 50,000 records, Data Loader - 5,000,000 https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.dataLoader.meta/dataLoader/when_to_use_the_data_loader.htm
B is correct. Dataloader for 5 million. Data Import Wizard ;50,000.
