6sense vs. ZoomInfo Marketing

If you want to create a more targeted ad approach to your marketing strategy, you need 6sense to do it well. If your team is not willing to look at things from an account based approach and are stuck in the old school way of thinking about MQLs, then this may be a tough sell to sales.

I recommend ZoomInfo because it is a good product, easy to use and pretty accurate compared to the competition. But it is not for everyone because the price point is higher than the competition in the market.

• Product support: They are constantly adding new features and innovating.
• Customer success: Everyone who uses the platform internally is in a customer-facing role and there is a massive amount of self-service and regularly-scheduled live training available.
• Orchestration: We are able to orchestrate account and content acquisition with ease to add qualified accounts to our CRM and kick-start contact acquisition for sales.
• Advertising: The advertising capabilities continue to grow. You can retarget individuals as well as run several different types of banner ad campaigns. They also recently added in-platform support to create LinkedIn campaigns.

• Audience Coverage.
• Advertising Performance.
• Intent Data.

• Sales Alerts - could provide more information, allow for more orgs to be identified, creating them based on keywords is beyond challenging as I cannot use keyword groups and instead must add each keyword manually.
• Geographic areas - would love to be able to provide one zip code for a segment and ask for a radius of 20,50, etc miles around it, or even just ask for the geographic area relative to a specific city (DC Metro area, as an example)
• RevCity/User Community - it's good and a nice start but the system doesn't provide reminders regularly to go check it out. Most of the posters tend to be 6sensers, and several questions can go unanswered.

• The integration with SalesOS leaves much to be desired.
• It's hard to prospect accounts within MarketingOS
• There were a few technical issues that need to be fixed.

We have several resources and, although 6sense is valuable, I do not believe it's being used widely enough by the sales team due to lack of training and its complexity. I wish there was a simplified guide for use and more 1-on-1 training.

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.

Definitely some great features there, Zoominfo has built a solid platform that is truly enterprise-grade. I gave a 7 because I feel there is a point where other solutions offer similar features at a lower price point. They might become too big to stay agile enough in the market.

So far the one time we ran into issues they were right there to help

Most of the time pages load quickly and the UX is great there are moments like every platform where it is laggy though

Their Customer Success model is delivered as advertised. We're very satisfied with the availability of support. They care as much about our success as we do. We also had an issue where we believed there was an issue in a piece of functionality. They continued to dig until they found the problem and immediately put the fix into a patch.

They spend most of their time pontificating on rudimentary matters. They tried to blame their own mistakes and shortcomings on the client rather than themselves.

It was too fast, too complex, no one could follow along. If you miss a step, you're lost for the rest of the time and there is SO MUCH to learn and keep up with.

Calls using Zoom remote sessions, emails chat.

dont implement it

They never ended up uploading the custom intent topics until months after we submitted them. It was difficult to select the custom intent topics in the first place as well.

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 personalization that Triblio ABM/ABX Platform offers, but it is a marketing tool. It doesn't offer the same prospecting benefits.

ZoomInfo is easy to use and navigate, plus is more accurate than the competition. But the price per license is the highest on the market and not affordable by everyone.

Incentivized

No, it was clear.

Has been used by a few teams cross functionally and the scalability of this product is great as we continue to grow

Enable scalable process and implementation to use for marketing and sales.
