They make chain cleaning easier. Go for those well known brands. I've tried a cheap china made one before and it didn't do much, and the grip was crappy.
That said, you still have to brush the jockey wheels manually to ensure a more thorough clean.
I use the Park 5.2 with Simple Green, Jungle Jake, or Zep (some kind of cheaper water-soluble citrus degreaser). Works great, does a good job of limiting the mess.
