Adapt.io id pretty much similar to all the above tools (Lusha, Seamless.ai, hunter, D&B hoovers) The interface is easy on the eyes and the search time is quick. However the most important criterion is the accuracy of the data, if you get incorrect email ID and you use your SMTP …

We use a lot of tools. We have cloud, we Atropic, we also use one. We use Donators. This is the only information: the phone details, like yap, that companies are using.
Chose HG Insights Platform
We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines …
Chose HG Insights Platform
I would say most have more features and integrations but it is easier to use the HG Insights Platform. And the unique opportunity to understand who is using a competitor gives insight into where expansion could happen.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The selection of the HG Insights Platform was a strategic decision driven by our specific needs in a crowded B2B market.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform layers on the CAPDB scoring capability which I have not seen in these other systems. It will even automate this process if you are willing to pay the extra price.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform has much better technographic data than ZoomInfo
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform is number 1 in my eyes. I have never found a better source for getting the most up to date information
Chose HG Insights Platform
excellent supplementary resource. Again, the HG Insights Platform lacks the contact element of the research.

Chose HG Insights Platform
- Sales Intel seems to be more of a direct competition. Their human research seems to be something interesting. Also the claim to focus on firmographics
- We went with Bombora for intent technology in the past
- We did not move forward with 6sense
Chose HG Insights Platform
some of our sales team have used similar tools like 6sense and zoominfo, but I have not personally
Chose HG Insights Platform
Actually, it was a legacy from the company that bought us so we took over the ownership of the HG Insights Platform as in the Marketing Operations team.
Chose HG Insights Platform
HG Insights is much more complete with firmographics and technographics data integrated on a large number of enterprise customers

Intricately and HG Focus use different methods to get to the same means. Intricately's UI/UX is more modern and clean than the others I have come across. Intricately is a newer company and has made a lot of strides since we first looked at them 3 years ago - they seem to be …

Intricately stacks up pretty close to DiscoverOrg. Though DiscoverOrg is a lot more detailed on company information pertaining to changes in the organization and services used, Intricately gives a quick snapshot of company information available right at the point of presence to …

Adapt.ioHG Insights Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
This is best suited if you are doing cold outreach and want to get in touch with people with specific roles, in specific industries, and locations. For example, I can choose the United States or some states therein and then choose a number of employees in a company, revenue and also the level of seniority (CXO, VP etc.)of the particular person and find his details. Adapt.io gives the correct email address of these people along with the complete information of the company. As far as prospecting and contact discovery is concerned there is not scenario where Adapt.io is not useful.

The HG Insights Platform has helped us with GTM planning as we segment accounts amongst our verticals. There are verticals with specific tech stacks that we would like to prioritize, and HG Insights allows us to do that. The account scoring allows us to prioritize outreach efforts. We are able to use the technographics to weigh scoring and assign those accounts out accordingly.

  • It has a great google chrome plug-in.
  • UI/UX is modern and clean.

Cons
  • I don't see any need of improvement
  • Industry Filters can be more specific.
  • Number of credits are less.

  • integration with SFDC could be better
  • Sometime provides back an incorrect/no match when a better is available from an uploaded file, though this is getting slightly better
  • A way to gauge how many hits you will get off an intent topic before selecting them so you don't feel like one is going to waste could be useful.

We are using it to identifying Account that uses Support tool and it has been a huge game changer for our organization as it has helped Sales team when they are prospecting Accounts to target these Accounts with knowledge that gives them the edge to win the deal. Plus using it with clay integration is very helpful for us.

Usability

It’s very easy to use, and the team is very responsive and friendly to work with. The information is unique and usable and can complement some of the data we get from call recordings. The integration with Salesforce is easy to implement and offers good insights into our database.

Adapt.io id pretty much similar to all the above tools (Lusha, Seamless.ai, hunter, D&B hoovers) The interface is easy on the eyes and the search time is quick. However the most important criterion is the accuracy of the data, if you get incorrect email ID and you use your SMTP to send mails with incorrect IDs it will spoil you domain reputation and your domain may even get black listed. The accuracy of Adapt is good. however there were cases where the company information was not available, this is in comparison to the tools like Lusha and Seamless. Good tool to use but maybe a bit expensive since the credits given are less

We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines to help verify trends rather than being reliant on one platform. Other vendors also offer contact data as well which is integral for our outbound marketing campaigns which HG does not cover. Overall HG does perhaps stack up better than some of these however, it is only one source of data and using multiple is necessary to give a reliable result.

Return on Investment
  • Helped me increase the volume of outreach
  • Helped me find relevant data of people to connect with
  • The ROI can take time to achieve as the number of credits are less.
Read full review
  • I don't massively get involved in financial matters, but the propensity models we use internally to help run our campaigns are certainly a big factor when our sales people approach our clients.
  • Every campaign sold now comes with a flat data fee for us to run and use a propensity model for the activity we complete on behalf of our clients.
  • Whilst the client will never see the raw data behind the model (of which HG does play a part along with our other data sources) they are briefed on the methodology and reasoning behind them.
