Likelihood to Recommend While InsideView seems more comprehensive than LinkedIn SalesNavigator, when you're looking to identify and save contacts with a particular area of responsibility (IT, for instance), Navigator provides results and means to track them more quickly and easily. Having to "unselect" every other job area category when initially landing on a company overview page in InsideView is tedious and time-consuming.
Read full review UpLead is well suited for environments where there is a lot of accurate contact information to research mainly generating sales for a business. On the other hand, businesses that don't require searching up a huge amount of contact data and that doesn't add up to the sales of a business do not need to use this software.
Read full review Pros 'Call Prep' - a list of industry-related questions to ask my prospects during the phone call to enhance trust and credibility as a business partner. Regularly scrubbed email and phone numbers of prospects. The verified direct-dial mobile number is GOLD. You may be able to get some of these elsewhere by paying extra with a separate standalone service. Having this integrated has improved my workflow, saving time from switching in and out of different apps. The family tree of organizations is particularly useful for targeting enterprise accounts that often come with convoluted company shareholding structures. 'Challenges' and 'Trends' - information to engage prospects during conversations. Read full review UpLead is one of the best B2B platforms available in the market which deals in offering the highest quality contacts and different companies’ data. It has the best and updated real-time email verification, having contacts worldwide, technology tracking, account-based marketing, and robust API. The integration of UpLead with other platforms is up to the mark. It allows users to integrate UpLead with other renowned software to have the best possible workspace to work on. Read full review Cons As a system administrator, I wish I had access to real time reports regarding usage. Often times, senior leadership wants to know how their teams are using the information and who is using the software to its fullest. It's a pain to have to email InsideView and ask for a report. We are a global organization and there is not a lot of information regarding companies outside the US. I know they are working on this, but my global field reps are anxiously waiting to use the software too. I wish InsideView put out more "tips and tricks" documents. There does not seem to be a large repository of training documents. I am always looking to learn more, as are my reps. Read full review No notification send to customer when the subscription is due for renewal. Despite customer is unhappy with the product and service, they have a no refund policy in place. No after sales support and service. Actual exported data is less than 30% of what was shown when filtering. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Relatively inexpensive service for a decent current awareness service. They have added little in sales functionality in the past year as they focused on building a marketing version of the product. Except for the addition of broader European coverage last spring (thin Equifax records), the database was static over the past year.
Read full review Usability InsideView was extremely user-friendly. I was able to quickly understand how to efficiently use the software and get the most out of the service. I only had a short time to quickly learn how to use the functions offered by InsideView, and I felt confident within the first day of my understanding and ability to successfully use this tool.

Read full review Implementation Rating We had to work with InsideView for some custom configurations example we have a custom field in Salesforce called ha location that needed let's say NJ to spell out New Jersey and make certain fields mandatory. They were easy to work with though.

Read full review Alternatives Considered In my previous company, I was using both Linkedin and
ZoomInfo , both of them were good, but there was a lot of restrictions with the basic versions, and when we shifted to the
LinkedIn Sales Navigator , and
ZoomInfo the quality improved but there was not much to get like InsideView. In my current company, at first we were using LinkedIn, but now I appreciate the decision made by our seniors to shift to InsideView. It is my personal opinion that I feel InsideView is better than LinkedIn and
ZoomInfo .
Read full review I like UpLead because it offers a better price point compared to other tools and verifies the potential lead's email by pinging it before I download my list. This ensures that the contact information is accurate and up-to-date, saving time and improving the efficiency of my outreach efforts
Read full review Return on Investment Makes researching much easier so saved time prospecting. Cleaner information than other relative sites so not using bad information. Hard to put a number on saved time and then its dollar value in benefit, but it has definitely furthered my goals. Read full review I haven't been using UpLead long but I have generated interest in our company with several large accounts. Each one of them can add several million in revenue to our company. A huge time saver is to be able to send out email blasts to potential clients I've downloaded from UpLead. Securing any one of the prospects I'm working on through UpLead can easily pay for the investment 10 times over. Most of the salespeople in our company are asking me where I'm getting my leads from.
