Definitive Healthcare vs. Detective

I think the best scenario for using Definitive Healthcare is if accuracy isn't very important. If you just want to spam a lot of people and you don't really care where the contacts land, they're your vendor. If, on the other hand, you like accuracy and are hoping the commercial list vendor supplies data that will help your business grow, I feel they are less well suited to those use cases.

If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

• They easily connect with my Outlook to sync my upcoming meetings.
• It provides me with the social profiles of people I am meeting with.
• It gives me the ability to have all my info about my contact in one place to easily review.

Incentivized

• Outdated UI and lacks integration with popular software
• Account Management team is unempowered to solve problems or come up with creative solutions.
• Slow response time. I waited 3 weeks for a response from their team on a question.
• Database lack key contacts especially Director level and above. Poor tool for sales team.
• Poor customer service. I constantly felt like I was chasing them for a meeting or on questions.

• At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
• The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
• It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

It was unusable for us because key contacts were not there and our sales team had to tell Definitive what contacts were missing. Waste of time and money.

Account Managers and team often do not respond for weeks at a time.

I use both. Definitive Healthcare is better when you need specific hospital and clinic names. ZoomInfo only gives you a local address but refers to each location as the health system name so hard to define where particular people are from.

The thing that Charlie does best is it aggregates everything in one place. It allows me to have a one-stop shop, that I can quickly review prior to heading into a meeting. People are usually amazed with the amount of info that Charlie can give you, and it almost always works its way into my sales call.

Incentivized

• In my experience, We've experienced no value from the data
• In my opinion, we've paid for no value
• So the RoI is negative

• The info I pull from Charlie prior to the meeting is almost always brought up as a conversation starter.
• Charlie helps my relationships go deeper than just surface level info.
• The ability to go deeper in my relationships while using Charlie has absolutely closed me business.
