D&B Connect vs. ZoomInfo Operations

Overall, the program can assist any size company with all credit
reference needs. We have not run into any issues other than the overall
cost of the program and the fact that you have to use additional funds
to seek information on international customers.

ZoomInfo Operations is very well suited for bulk record updates, list imports, and record ownership assignments and reassignments. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to explore as many scenarios as possible to use the platform. The platform is extremely powerful as well - the volume of scheduled/automated bulk updates that we have running hourly and daily has never seemed to cause any issues with the system. All expected tasks are completed every time, and if any records couldn't be updated, the system does a great job of highlighting those errors for you. Based on my experience, scenarios that would be less appropriate include automated enrichment, specifically for contacts who may have moved to another company. Also, they need to keep up with Salesforce capabilities regarding what objects can be added as Campaign Members - we have to come up with a workaround when we want to add Accounts to campaigns.

• Searching people who have the intent to buy your services or products.
• It has as very good filter that helps pinpoint your targeted audience.
• It has a large pool of contacts within the company, so helps to reach out to the right person via several connections.
• The data available is fresh and current.

• EverString allows us to build account lists based off in-depth firmographic or technographic data. It's far more accurate than trying to build these lists any other way.
• EverString is fast. Where it might've previously taken us weeks to build lists of this quality, we now can build them in a matter of minutes (and have them ready to be published in a couple of hours).

• in my opinion having to split usage between United States and International does not make sense on why this needs to be done....recommend eliminating this
• need for improvement on error resolution....when an error is found the D&B resolution team is EXTREMELY difficult to work with...very clunky and automated when there is a need for personnal interaction

Incentivized

• Lower pricing tier, some other zoom products have freemium versions which would be nice
• Faster import/export time for data, depending on the size of the data, it may take close to more than a few minutes.
• Merging data does not always report 100% of data merged.

Great tool

I give this rating because I feel that ZoomInfo has made our work easier and smoother than before. Like now we manage our sales leads, new engagements, easily, and the data we get from ZoomInfo helps us a lot to move in the right direction. Our customer success rate is higher than before after implementing it.

For more advanced uses, it's hard to get it functioning properly right out of the box. It definitely takes some fiddling to get the systems up and running, especially if you have multiple streams of data that need to be managed across systems.

ZommInfo OPerations is pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. I like that the current integrations make it easier to work within our existing flows and processes. Some of the more advanced features take a bit more training to fully understand and use correctly. And the interface could maybe be updated.

If I talk about the operation's availibility, it is always available whenever I need it. Yeah, once in a while, I have seen an outage, but that was quickly resolved, so I would say they have a strong team that keeps the tool running, no matter if it is updating itself.

I would rate its performance 9. I do not doubt its performance, the pages load quickly withour laging or error. It gives a report within the time frame without errors, no matter how complex the report is. We integrated it with our CRM; at first, it tended to slow a little, but later it was fixed and ran smoothly.

Great Support

I give this rating because I never feel they deserve less than it. Their commitment towards the customer is outstanding, whenever I need to reach out to the supprot, I feel like I am just talking to a person who is sitting beside me. They respond quickly and solve the problems easily, even guiding us on how not to get into the same problem again and again, so we can avoid going back to support.

I gave 10 cause , We took an training from their dedicated ZoomInfo university with quick support and valid certifications.

Have a plan on how you're going to evaluate. We had a two-month trial period, but a six-month average lead cycle time, making it impossible to evaluate on a purely new-business ROI basis within the trial. We applied the model to our prior data, which demonstrated how much time and effort was devoted to accounts that weren't going to close

Not at the top, but pretty good compared to others. The price and overall usability of the solution would put it in the top 5 options from what I have used. If D&B can make more updates and improvements, then there is potential to be better in the near future.

I haven't tried stacking it against any competition as I feel no need to. ZoomInfo blows me away like it first did in 2018, and I don't want something different. I hear Clay is good, but I just haven't felt the need to try it out or replace ZoomInfo at all.

slightly on the higher side but worth it.

This is the most important and beautiful thing about this tool: it has strong scalability across teams and use cases. It allows us to expand from a single thing to multiple things, like sales to multiple departments, e.g., marketing, Data Accuracy, and Customer Success, without needing complex changes in the setup.

• ROI can be achieved anywhere between 6 to 12 months depending upon your business.
• The product is expensive but the data provided is good to an extent and a big sale can help achieve your ROI.
• The data accuracy sometimes can be bad leading to bad domain reputation.

• Generate more pipeline - indirectly. Data from anywhere still needs to be transformed and used for a business objective.
• Saved time in doing research and data population.
• Assuming a business will purchase a data vendor, the comparison between other vendors is a factor of cost, functionality, and data quality. ZoomInfo has higher costs typically - which would lower the ROI - but with proper incentives or discounts, the comparative ROI grows.
