We worked with many data providers, in both B2B and B2C. While each has its strengths and weaknesses, it really comes down to identifying scenarios there there is a good fit. Bizo stood above everyone related to both the breadth, accuracy, and performance of their B2B data asset.

It is well suited in generating a significant number of inbound leads. However, it is less appropriate for smaller firms who are cost conscious.

The platform is very similar to many of its competitors, and the only reason why some people chose this over others is its natural integration with Magento. For its limits, it is worth investing in an integration with another platform to save money in the long run.

DotDigital is not difficult to use, however, the user interface could use some optimization. There are certain elements that can be challenging to find, and the menus are not always intuitive. However, the tool makes up for that with easy to use features, like creating segments, and allowing many rules to specify these particular groups.

As I described above, LinkedIn Lead Accelerator does a much better job on professional targeting. Neither Twitter Ads nor AdWords offers such a good segmentation when it comes to particular industry, company type, job position or level of job experience. We are still using Twitter Ads and AdWords to run campaigns there, but LinkedIn Lead Accelerator works much better to target professionals.
