Considered Both Products
6sense
Chose 6sense
6sense still feels like the market leader though Demandbase has done a good job of staying competitive, we usually measure against DB at each renewal cycle.
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
There is some overlap in some of the intent portions, but they are still different overall. I just need more training to better utilize the platform to its fullest.
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
I am just an IC, wish I could evaluate others!
Chose 6sense
Zoominfo is easier to use within SFDC and upload prospects contact info into SFDC. It also has good insights into their org chart. Their intent scores aren't as useful as 6sense's, though. Leadfeeder provides good insight into the timeframe of how long prospects were on each …
Chose 6sense
I use them together so I can fact check against both to see what is true and what I might be missing
Chose 6sense
We haven't used a tool like this.
Chose 6sense
The only other tool that I have used that is similar to 6sense is Marketo. However, I do not think that this tool was useful either. Again, this tool would be better suited for a BDR. This is not a tool that has helped me as a salesperson. It is very vague and oftentimes …
Chose 6sense
All have a niche they are good at to keep track of things. Cant provide massive detail due to limited access to accounts and processing of leads.
Chose 6sense
6Sense is really the only one I have used. We use ZI, which I like.
Chose 6sense
We use both ZoomInfo and 6sense. They are both hit and miss helping to identify prospects who are ready to purchase. I would say ZoomInfo is the better product since it offers more data than just trending companies who are looking to purchase.
Chose 6sense
ZoomInfo, InsideView are ones we looked at Yours is better because yours provides real-time insights but I wish you would provide more contextual data
Chose 6sense
I was not part of the evaluation process and I do not know who else competes in this space.
Chose 6sense
6sense is the most innovative, accurate, and forward-thinking software in the space

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.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is hands down the best tool for identifying targeted contacts or leads. You can drill down on a company and look at its entire workforce, or search by the exact title that is your key target. The information is up to date, as people tend to keep their LinkedIn profiles current. In terms of other marketing functions LI Sales Navigator is extremely limited. BUT if you are looking to identify contacts for prospecting purposes, then this tool is what you need.

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.

  • Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
  • Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
  • Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.

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.

  • Inbox needs work - too much confusion around your LinkedIn inbox and Sales Nav inbox
  • Sorting - need a better, faster way to sort by for prospect lists and account lists
  • Only voluntarily shared information. No cross checking or using API’s like a ZoomInfo

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

This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.

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.

Overall, it's very user-friendly. It's hard for a tool to make sorting through loads of data easy, but Sales Nav does this very well. Its advanced search features enable us to be selective in finding the right people to talk to and connect with.

I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.

I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is much more valuable than Dice or Cognism, as we do most of our prospecting on LinkedIn. Therefore, it means we can build lists of our prospects based on activity, connections, and buying intention. With Cognism and Dice, you cannot do this as they do not work alongside the LinkedIn platform and, therefore, lack the functionality that is essential to what we are using the platform for.

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.

  • Allowed me to better identify the key stakeholders at companies I was targeting
  • Kept me up to date on what was happening with my prospects and their companies.
