Data Axle Genie vs. Databook vs. Demandbase One

If you are looking to enrich your existing database, Data Axel Genie isn't the easiest tool to use. I do like how the contacts are verified, however, you have to pay PER contact if you are enriching, and if you merged existing infrastructures, it's not as easy to clean out your database. And it is very costly for this company.

Well Suited - Databook works well when you’re in a sales role focused on enterprise accounts. You often need a full view of a company’s priorities, financials, and strategic themes, and the tool gives you that context quickly without digging through multiple sources. Less Appropriate - It’s less useful when you’re working mid market or with fast growing smaller companies. The coverage and depth can be limited, so you may not find enough meaningful data to rely on. In those cases, manual research still ends up doing most of the work.

Demandbase One is well-suited for ABM Marketing, providing intent-based account details, account scoring methods, and understanding account intent. It also enables creating a list of accounts and individuals for retargeting based on specific filters. Easy to integrate with Salesforce, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and multiple other channels. Advertising through the Demandbase channel is more effective for advertisers who use retargeting with the intent list.

• I liked the organization of the database it was easy to maneuver.
• Search was fairly easy to maintain.
• If you want to create a list of leads this will work. However, it is primarily for consumer leads not B2B.

• The Demandbase UI is user-friendly, easy to navigate and super intuitive.
• Ad Targeting and budgeting is very concise, the platform tells you how much reach and spend you can expect for each campaign.
• Person-based ad targeting, they are one of the only platforms that offers this which is a game changer.

• We have a very specific industry and sometimes drilling down to these leads can be challenging. But with customer service, they have solved this for us.

• it lacked coverage to smaller businesses and Start-ups
• Sometimes acts as "one more research tool"

• Under the "highlighted" section there are only 6 accounts to see. It would be nice to have more than 6.
• The engagement is rated in "minutes" while that's not really what is being scored. It's a little confusing as to how their engagement is scored.
• It would be nice to be able to mute or hide of some contacts that we have already spoken to so that it opens space for other prospects.
• Overall happy with the product

It was good when we had it but there definitely more softwares out there that provide more information, more current contact info and are much more user friendly

Relatively inexpensive service for a decent current awareness service. They have added little in sales functionality in the past year as they focused on building a marketing version of the product. Except for the addition of broader European coverage last spring (thin Equifax records), the database was static over the past year.

Easy to use and great customer service.

I rated it a seven because the core insights are genuinely useful once you get to them, but the workflow isn’t always smooth. Finding the right accounts can be hit or miss and some sections feel a bit cluttered, so it takes time to get comfortable. When it works, it saves effort, but the experience could be more intuitive

InsideView was extremely user-friendly. I was able to quickly understand how to efficiently use the software and get the most out of the service. I only had a short time to quickly learn how to use the functions offered by InsideView, and I felt confident within the first day of my understanding and ability to successfully use this tool.

Seems to always work.

It's pretty fast.

Spot on and always available.

We had an intro session with a customer success rep and were given a rundown of the platform and it was absolutely perfect. The rep was able to show us advanced search options and shortcuts that cut our search time.

She was fine, but we only had one session

Seeing the demo during the sales cycle, not much training was needed due to this application being plug and play.

We had to work with InsideView for some custom configurations example we have a custom field in Salesforce called ha location that needed let's say NJ to spell out New Jersey and make certain fields mandatory. They were easy to work with though.

Salesgenie seemed more intuitive and knowledgeable account manager that handled my account. He quickly assisted my company needs and made recommendations based on the information I provided him

Databook stood out because the research layer felt deeper and more strategic. It surfaces context you don’t usually get from tools like ZoomInfo or Lusha, which are great for contact data but not for understanding a company’s priorities. I used those more often because they serve broader use cases and are available in most orgs, but Databook delivered a different type of insight when I needed a clearer narrative about an account.

We selected Demandbase based on their premium B2B DSP, their integrations with third party ad sites and our CRM and tech stack. Their intent signals and ability to integrate the data we have in Demandbase to GCP through their DataStream product to build our own models and leverage in our own dashboards has been extremely beneficial

• Positive, I was able to generate about three more proposals a week
• Positive nice organization to establish a call list
• Nice structure, great way to target hot or cold leads. Great way to get your feet wet

• Positive RoI - Quicker meetings because of better conversation insights
• Negative RoI - The tool would be helpful in enterprise setup, hence wasnt useful for commercial hunting

Incentivized

• Save me time doing company research from an average of 25 mins to an average of 7 mins for large ICP accounts.
• Save me time by integrating the contact research without jumping out of InsideView to do it in a separate app.
• A morning 10 mins scan of the target company news feed gave me a high level view of the most important news that I need to know regarding my prospect accounts and their respective industries.
