6sense vs. ZoomInfo Marketing

6sense is best when we sell to a clear list of target accounts, and we want Sales and Marketing to focus on the right companies first. It works well for SDR daily prioritization, re-engaging accounts when they start researching again, and running ABM ads only to the accounts that matter and show intent. It is less appropriate when the business is mostly high-volume inbound leads, speed to contact matters more than account intent, the target market is very small, we already know every account, or we need perfect contact-level accuracy.

ZoomInfo Marketing can be used to re-target companies already in your sales process or familiar with you (i.e., have been to your website or engaged with you in some way). You may not get a large number of conversions through a cold display campaign, but ZI Marketing is a great way to stay at the top of your buyers' minds and provide them with bottom-of-the-funnel content through advertising.

• 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.

• The ease of campaign creation is amazing! I can get a campaign set up in just a few minutes.
• The reporting allows us to easily see the performance of our ads. There is no guesswork.
• I love being able to create audiences from ZoomInfo tools such as Websights, intent, workflows and lists. This allows us to target a very specific audience that we otherwise would not have access to.

• 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.

• Does not fully integrate sales and marketing, so some work and translation is still required.
• this is a complicated tool, and requires a rather long time to train employees to use properly.
• no training included, and the price is a bit high
• Does not integrate the same across all internet browser programs

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

It just complements every effort that our sales and marketing team go through. We also use other zoom products, and this meshes so well with them. It has cut down the time we need for results in marketing and sales, as well as increasing the success rate of the actions we choose. We're seeing greater ROI on efforts since we started.

I gave this rating because I’ve spent hours upon hours training reps on 6sense. A lot of my trainings have been successful and the reps are now using the tool correctly. With that, I think the usability is overall strong. It isn’t complex once it is learned by the rep or admin, just takes some practice.

I think it's great for marketing and sales alignment and it gives great insights and data that we can translate over to our LinkedIn advertising, but I think the reporting limitations aren't great. The discrepancies don't provide full confidence in the numbers. But, as a tool to become more targeted based on websights and sales goals it's great!

I've never noticed it being down but I rarely log into the web interface

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

We hardly needed any support but in the initial days we got some had to contact support for the product understanding, the suppor t was prompt and they were very quick to resolve any issues. The support team is very helpful and gives a lot of importance to unresolved issues.

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.

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.

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.

We have ZoomInfo Sales as well. We decided we needed to have both Sales and Marketing to marry them together. We are so happy we did! We really needed to have the entire package together. We are able to research our customers within sales and then we are able to serve them ads.

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.

• 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.

• We have found a lower CPC across our pages
• Tracking characteristics on types of businesses on our pages - also very close to our dream persona
• Build a weekly workflow internally between sales and marketing to use the incoming contacts and increasing number of qualified leads to hand off to sales
