ZoomInfo OperationsOS/RingLead is a comprehensive data quality management platform for sales and marketing operations teams to clean, enrich, and route their go-to-market data.
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.
DemandTools is perfect for any system that constantly adds new records to its database. For example, in higher education, we are constantly purchasing search names from various vendors and DemandTools allows us to make sure we are not doubling up on the same records. It saves us money in the long run as we are not mailing out multiple copies of our brochures to the same person.
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.
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).
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.
I wish I could make changes to my existing scenarios using save rather than having to create a whole new scenario. Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to.
Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn.
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
It's a great product. The only thing that holds us back is it was frustrating working with their sales team. We also don't like that when Validity purchased DemandTools they immediately started charging us quite a bit while it had been free for non-profit users when CRMFusion owned it. They also don't let you buy it for just 1 or 2 seats, you have to pay, I believe, in batches of 100 seats.
I give this rating because I feel that ZoomInfo Operations 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 Operations helps us a lot to move in the right direction. our customer success rate is higher than before after implementing it.
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.
Support can be slow so do not expect quick turn for urgent issues. Help for specific queries not not there. Product tech support is offered. It would be great if query support, even if paid, was offered The training webinars help with the basics but not much if you need advanced functionality.
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.
The trainings are free live webinars that give you a solid base for getting started with the program. The only weakness is they don't have any advanced classes.
I had just started using Salesforce about 3 months before I did the implementation myself, and it was easy to do just following their step-by-step instructions.
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
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
Though RingLead has much more to offer in terms of automation (and it is in Salesforce rather than a separate program), DemandTools still has our heart. DemandTools is very cost-friendly and we were able to increase the value of DemandTools by programming in additional saved scenarios. I decreased admin time in the DemandTools suite by approximately 25% after implementing saved scenarios for every reoccurring update or list upload.
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.
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.
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.
