Intricately works great for seeing if a company's site and/or app is hosted on Amazon Web Services. This is our target market so, this helps confirm we are using our time wisely when sourcing companies. Intricately still has some areas to grow in short cut views vs pulling up the entire view.

It's easy for anyone who is expecting some simple AI problems like fetching the keywords, understanding the intent, language translation, etc. to be solved from an existing database and all they need is to connect to their APIs via a subscription model. But for complex use cases, there is still room for improvement like customization of underlying AI models for a specific use case like identifying some unique identifiers with respect to industry.

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 any website. It allows for quicker conversation whereas DiscoverOrg has a lengthier approach to finding company information.

IBM Watson Assistant has been early into this market and has improved a lot over time compared to Azure AI Cortana. More documentation related to the services. But Ease of integration Azure AI ranks over IBM Watson Assistant. And again in terms of services offered under the ecosystem, Azure AI precedes IBM Watson Assitant.

Return on Investment

  • Saving time on confirming we are spending our sourcing in the right areas (hosting provider).
  • Saving time in getting to our target market quicker.
  • It isn't 100% accurate, but the majority of the time it is accurate.

  • Difficult to ascertain the ROI as we are a software house who have developed a module in our application using Cortana. However for companies that use our software I would say the use of sentiment analysis in our application could free up at least 1 full time resource to be used elsewhere in their organisation.
