Claritas PRIZM Premier vs. Infer

• Nielsens account managers are amazing. I could brag about my account rep forever.
• Get onsight training, it helps the process start at lightspeed.
• Importing external information into consumerpoint is tricky, but super fast once it is learned. I'm pretty tech saavy and I did it wrong initially. Formatting is finicky. That's part of why the onsight training is so great.

It is ideal to expand the range of customers, to have an updated and optimized database with interested customers, and allows sales and marketing agents to work in achieving sales and not in the laborious task of finding customers. This software is very effective and delivers what it promises.

• I would like better projections for micromarkets, such as non US Census metro areas.
• Organic segmentation can be very time consuming, but it always is.

• The user interface and all the information it generates on the main screen can be cumbersome.
• The learning curve is quite considerable and it takes a few hours of training to understand the system.
• The software becomes cumbersome when information needs to be passed to Salesforce.

It can be expensive, but the strategic insights you get from it are unreal. It is one of those products that we now wonder what we did without it. Segmentation is a must in whatever business and PRISM makes it significantly easier. We reviewed several synthetic and organic segmentation methods, including ESRI and k means clustering analysis, and PRIZM is by far the best.

I believe that the two complement each other. Datanyze pulls off of a number of data points. Onsite it can pull technologies used (javascript based and also infrastructural), products offered, SEO ranking, and it even integrates with LinkedIn to pull names. Datanyze also has prospecting features - you can pull lists of companies based on technologies used, location, SEO (Alexa/changes with Alexa rank, SEO strategy, speed testing), SEM data points, industry, employee or revenue size, funding round dates and amounts, business segment, founding date, etc. It integrates with salesforce too so you can import leads directly into the system with the paid version. We bought for the scoring, but there is a lot that it can do.

• Definitely a return on investment. We have been able to make much better use of our media buys. We have seen conversion rates skyrocket because of the targeting we were able to do.
• Our media buys were much more cost efffective. An example is the TV listing pages of the newspaper was cheaper than the front page for certain segments.
• It has helped support expansion into a new market for our health insurance products.
• We are able to design products based on the populations needs and behaviors rather than what someone heard.
• We were also able to map risky health behaviors across our service area and target the unhealthy by zip code.

• Once adapted to the software, we have been able to get a lot out of it, as we have been able to increase sales with the leads we have found.
• Also, the sales department is more focused and works in a much more organized way, increasing their daily performance and productivity.
