Considered Both Products
6sense
Chose 6sense
6sense sales team spent a lot more time with me building out a use case and example to take back to my team. I appreciated the support and felt confident in getting the help I needed to implement the tech.
Chose 6sense
We chose 6sense because:
6sense offers deeper/better, more actionable AI-driven insights into buyer intent
For its comprehensive view across the entire funnel
Chose 6sense
We selected 6sense due to the Sales Intelligence features and orchestration capabilities, over its competitors.
Chose 6sense
6sense seemed more intuitive and also user friendly when training our sales and marketing team. We used ZoomInfo as well so between 6sense and ZoomInfo it helped us have a good understanding as to where the prospect was on the buying journey. I found 6sense very helpful when …
Chose 6sense
they are very similar but we liked 6sense approach focusing on the model
Chose 6sense
Compared to the other products we vetted, 6sense is a more full-funnel and robust tool that fits our needs. It helps us with marketing orchestration needs, display, and analytics functions, and at the same time, supports sales and sales developers in their efforts. It is a tool …
Chose 6sense
When it came down to it, we were caught between Demandbase and 6sense. Both tools would have fit our needs, 6sense did a better job overall of selling us on the tool itself, how it can be used, how they use it, and what their future vision entailed. Having the ability to add …
Chose 6sense
In my experience, 6sense has better match rates. Match rates are the foundation of an ABM platform. If you can't identify the company, you can't tie the activity to it. All other features are pointless if you can't trust the account data. Aside from that, I think 6sense has …
Chose 6sense
Terminus and Demandbase did not provide the same level of account insights (at the time). We moved from Demandbase to Terminus, then Terminus to 6sense. Segmentation in Terminus was extremely weak and we could not narrow as tight as we needed to. 6sense segments are miles above …
Chose 6sense
6sense had the most impressive and easy to use dashboards both natively and within Salesforce.
Chose 6sense
Selected 6sense because of robust data that is easy to integrate within existing systems, also account implementation team was extremely helpful in ensuring we were set up for success between sales/marketing.
Chose 6sense
I have used/evaluated a number of platforms similar to 6sense and 6sense is by far the best. They have the best customer success team that truly listens and understands your business problems and works with you to solve them. Compared to the other platforms, I trust the people …
Chose 6sense
6sense had a much more robust keyword offering, and a trusted content network.
Chose 6sense
After my reviews 6sense gives us the best data the fastest. We highly recommend reviewing all options to make sure you feel confident in your decision.
Chose 6sense
Bombora gives you the data raw, you then determine where you want to integrate it and pull it in. More control, but more work. Also, you need a strong understanding of what you want to do. Demandbase seemed pretty much an Ads platform that uses intent. I love the website …
Chose 6sense
+ Actually works for themselves, 6sense was the only platform which reached out proactively. + Flexible team + Pricing, although looking back, pricing should be simplified
Chose 6sense
We selected 6sense because coworkers of mine had success with it in the past.
Chose 6sense
Sales engagement tools and the integration they have are the reason I chose them over the competition. Terminus & Kwanzoo were pretty close.
Chose 6sense
  • We liked how seamlessly integrated the various features within the 6sense platform were out-of-the-box. Terminus has a lot of separate products that seemed a bit "bolted on" in comparison.
  • The UI was slicker than either Demandbase or Terminus.
  • The 6sense/Salesforce integration …
Chose 6sense
6sense has a great product and is easy to use.
Chose 6sense
Light years ahead of these products. Technology advancements are tremendous and having the roadmap to ensure you're maintaining market leadership position is critical and can change every year. We have extremely high confidence based on our research that 6sense will maintain …
Demandbase One
Chose Demandbase One
Similar but I find the email digests more useful.
The chrome extensions stack up fairly evenly against each other.

6sense
6sense is well suited for taking a list of accounts and telling you where you should put your focus. It also gives great analytics to show you how well your team is doing. We often have problems with the contact data. It is often incorrect, so our reps cannot get ahold of the right people at the right time.

Demandbase
Demandbase One is well-suited for ABM Marketing, providing intent-based account details, account scoring methods, and understanding account intent. It also enables creating a list of accounts and individuals for retargeting based on specific filters. Easy to integrate with Salesforce, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and multiple other channels. Advertising through the Demandbase channel is more effective for advertisers who use retargeting with the intent list.

Pros
6sense
  • I think one of my favorite features are the Bombora Surge topics, I'm able to take a topic that a segment is really highly active in and create an outbound sequence based on that, just targeting certain personas. Like on the buying committee, identifying activity. I can create an end-to-end campaign just with 6sense data.

Demandbase
  • The Demandbase UI is user-friendly, easy to navigate and super intuitive.
  • Ad Targeting and budgeting is very concise, the platform tells you how much reach and spend you can expect for each campaign.
  • Person-based ad targeting, they are one of the only platforms that offers this which is a game changer.

Cons
6sense
  • I would love to see more academy and certifications, availability, I think some easier, faster, easy, digestible courses to jump in. Certifications are great but they're very much focused on just those two certifications, so maybe more of a specialization focus on that side as well as some ways to kind of do a quick easy onboarding for first time users or those who have 6sense within their organization but don't know how to jump in and use it right away.

Demandbase
  • Under the "highlighted" section there are only 6 accounts to see. It would be nice to have more than 6.
  • The engagement is rated in "minutes" while that's not really what is being scored. It's a little confusing as to how their engagement is scored.
  • It would be nice to be able to mute or hide of some contacts that we have already spoken to so that it opens space for other prospects.
  • Overall happy with the product

I love the tool, it makes everything we do more powerful and accurate. I'd shout it from the rooftops any day of the week. Using this tool will take your marketing efforts to the next level, no matter where you're starting from. No need to have prior experience with the tool for it to work for you

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.

Usability
6sense
The platform is pretty straightforward as far as creating new segments and what's available to do so. The launch of digital advertising has greatly improved in recent months which has been great for our digital team. Adding or removing users and updating integration points is pretty easy as well. Reporting has also been recently updated which makes reporting on usage and ROI much easier too.

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.

We selected Demandbase based on their premium B2B DSP, their integrations with third party ad sites and our CRM and tech stack. Their intent signals and ability to integrate the data we have in Demandbase to GCP through their DataStream product to build our own models and leverage in our own dashboards has been extremely beneficial

Return on Investment
6sense
  • One of the big things, I think 6sense does a really good job is increasing the amount of pipeline that is generated within our organization. It's definitely one of the underrated things is I would say mental health, cold calling is very difficult. 6sense really makes it a lot easier to not stress out nearly as much going into these cold calls. Of course it is still going to happen, people are going to hang up, but I felt that people felt more confident going into these phone calls.

  • Save me time doing company research from an average of 25 mins to an average of 7 mins for large ICP accounts.
  • Save me time by integrating the contact research without jumping out of InsideView to do it in a separate app.
  • A morning 10 mins scan of the target company news feed gave me a high level view of the most important news that I need to know regarding my prospect accounts and their respective industries.
