Dakota Fuse vs. ZoomInfo Operations

ZoomInfo is well suited for a new company that needs to load a CRM, or has a CRM thats over 18 months old and needs to be refreshed. Itd really only be inappropriate if you had 100 or less customers and knew them all well, or you aren't in B2B Sales.

• 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).

• 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.

Would love to keep everstring as part of our tech stack in the future. if we ever have to move from everstring it will be due to budget not the solution itself.

List uploads for enhancements and the fact that RingLead is powerful and useful make my life as an analyst super easy. I can upload files in bulk and know that everything is mapping correctly without manually going line by line.

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

This was the other tool we reviewed, but the OS applications were more detailed and had better results. Although still a good tool it just did not fit our scope for our sales group. Have yet to find any of the ZoomInfo tools to not be but quality and informational applications. So highly recommend them.

• 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.
