Crunchbase vs Node.io by SugarCRM

Likelihood to Recommend

The data is outdated and has significant gaps. It is mostly a replication of what is easily and publicly available, with little value added. Their predatory subscription model includes no notice of renewal and they are very antagonistic towards their customers.

The way Community Tax uses Sugar from a users point of view is, it can house a lot of information for either a company or individual with the option of adding additional sub cases . The down side is there are licenses issued per user and 1 per user is not enough because most of the time we are multitasking. Therefore a program/software would be more suitable instead of using a URL.

Cons

Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

I feel like there are unnecessary steps needed when saving work, which makes it time consuming at times.
Being able to create my own dashboards to my liking has been a challenge and I have had to ask IT to assist with that.
The system has gone down many times on me, I am not sure if it due to updates, but it does disturb my productivity.

Crunchbase is the best resource for prospecting startups hands down. TechTarget has a lot of useful info, but I found it to be inaccurate where it mattered most. Crunchbase's data seems more accurate, and is also easier to use. Not the most exact comparison, but they offer similar background information.

Node excels when it comes to lead intelligence like account-level and market insights. Its lead management module gives better segmentation and account identification. It is a good choice for mid-size companies (50-1000 employees) and their quality of support is very satisfactory. Its searchable data gives accurate results and its ease of integration with Salesforce is an added advantage over its competitors.

The best use we get out of Crunchbase Pro is staying on top of funding, mergers, and acquisitions. This has really helped us to identify key target accounts for our ABM strategy.
