20 Miles vs. MediaRadar

Fileboard is great for all sizes of sales organizations and very useful for those utilizing Salesforce. Their pricing is more affordable than competitors and their people are less pushy. My advice would be to demo the product and see if it fits your needs before looking at the more established and expensive competitors.

It's a great research tool to give someone a direction but it's definitely not the most accurate tool. The agency hierarchy (it shows the holding company structures) and client relationships are awesome. Certain webcrawler activities should available in reports but on the other hand MR builts custom reports if needed. Overall, it's a great tool for sales development. It helps sales and marketing to get started but not to rely on it 100%.

• Excellent tracking of email and alert notifications
• Great sales analytics that helped forecasting
• The live demo function was extremely helpful
• Tight integration into Salesforce

• One of the strengths of Media Radar is that it has a lot of brands in the database. The big money spenders are there, along with smaller brands and startups. This is helpful when I'm looking for information for smaller brands, because I cannot say the same about other products I use.
• The contact information is super organized and the site overall is very user-friendly.

• My experience with Fileboard has been less than ideal after making the switch from a very similar product. Our sales team as well as our operations team has experienced a number of stability issues on calls with our prospective customers to the point that we are looking for alternative solutions before our contract with fileboard has even expired.
• I received more complaints from my team in 6 months using Fileboard than 2 years using a competing product.
• We attempted to part ways mid contract and request a refund for unused access but were rejected and accused of blackmail after I provided two possible outcomes to our situation. One being private resolution and parting ways and second being an honest assessment of my experience with Fileboard and wishing we had stuck with the slightly more expensive solution.

• I think the user interface could use improvement.
• Would be nice to have more accurate phone # information.
• Could be updated more frequently.

Great sales tool especially because we didn't know we needed it... its helped us increase our performance which is ALWAYS important!

Fileboard has tighter integration into Salesforce and is less expensive. ClearSlide has a few more bells and whistles that may or may not be needed for your environment.

MediaRadar is what my company chooses to use for this purpose because of a few specific unique things it does, such as tracking competitors and allowing us to make mock-ups.

Incentivized

• Decreased sales time based on us know what content our prospects were/weren't looking
• Increased opportunity pipeline
• Improved our forecasting abilities.

• Given the spend amounts in media, finding the right contacts has a big ROI.
• Saves a lot of time by giving you the media/marketing contacts you're looking for in media.
• They have a concierge to help you if it's missing contacts.
