Clearbit vs. DataFox (discontinued)

Clearbit is great for companies with large sales teams who focus on high touch prospecting. The time saved by not having to search a prospect's LinkedIn profile, but simply see data in the CRM is awesome. On the other hand, Clearbit may not be as ideal in a company where sales are very transactional

It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

• The phone numbers are extremely accurate, so our sales team isn't wasting time calling 800 numbers or being transferred.
• ClearBit mapping is great because there are 80 fields that map and an API.
• We can build out our leads and contacts extremely faster because of the simplicity of the program.

Incentivized

• DataFox allows you to filter your company searches with very specific criteria. This ensures that you generate companies that are relevant to your customer segment and that will have promise.
• DataFox has awesome export functionality. Once you create a list of companies, you can export it to Excel/CSV and import the list to Salesforce.
• DataFox has a very clean and easy and approachable User Interface that is easy to navigate and learn quickly.

• The data Clearbit provides is good, but it doesn't compare to some competitors. While you can find a large range of data, other providers have more clean data.
• The Google Sheets add-on is not as comprehensive. It would be nice if you could search for both prospect emails and numbers there.
• Clearbit provides direct dials, but again it's not as accurate as other services.

Incentivized

• It has too little information on emerging markets like Latam.
• Only big companies, you can't find info on small ones.
• Making it easier to educate the AI.

The majority of the time it provides quick, accessible and easy to use information about the company and contact information. This has really helped us to personalise our outreach while also making it faster to prospect accounts. I don't give it a ten as this information can be inaccurate. Including the LinkedIn link which sometimes re-directs to old LinkedIn accounts, or just the wrong one. This seems to be caused by not updating the information regularly enough (just a feeling, no evidence)

It is easy to use but doesn't cover enough compnaies.

The team has been extremely helpful and works with us one on one with issues we come across. My main issues with the service is it’s outward interactions with us since purchasing the product. They have not proactively checked in to see how our is doing with the product.

Clearbit has been extremely beneficial for our organization. We still use and have access to some other tools, but it's the net new targeting that stands out for us, rather than a BlackBox of accounts that are in the market. When it comes to paid social where tracking and quality are tricky to measure and manage, Clearbit is the best option out there.

We utilize both for the most accurate information in terms of employee count of company, location of headquarters address, validity of what current technology that may be using today. Also cross reference this information with LinkedIn and other sites to get the best info possible to determine rules of engagement for reps.

Incentivized

• It's provided some key data in terms of geography which we rely on to distribute our customers and prospects to territories.
• Works great for large repositories of data, which we have.
• Not as useful for proactive prospecting. We use it primarily for data enrichment and confirmation of demographic info.

Incentivized

• Relatively cheap when compared to the other alternatives we looked at and already beginning to show value in terms of new TAM
