	Data.com (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Data.com (discontinued) Verified User Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) The accuracy of Data.com versus SalesIntel is second to none. Data.com integrates with our current Salesforce platform, which takes out a lot of the manual manipulation of lists that we used to have to do when we had other platforms. This is particularly helpful because time is … Incentivized Helpful? Ojas Korde Paid Search Specialist Chose Data.com (discontinued) Adobe Workfront may not be the direct competitor of Data.com, but for the services I was using, Workfront looked a little better when it comes to the user interface. But Data.com definitely had more powerful features & better integration capabilities. Also, it was easier to … Incentivized Helpful? Elizabeth Rodriguez Business Solutions Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) Data.com is free. That is definitely the most appealing part. You have nothing to lose, so might as well utilize an additional resource. Incentivized Helpful? Stacy Venditto Director Of Operations And Business Development Chose Data.com (discontinued) My client chose Data.com based on the experience during the evaluation period and the cost comparison. Data.com was the better-suited solution in this scenario. The size of the InsideView database was significantly smaller than Data.com and had limitations on downloads that … Incentivized Helpful? Jerry van Dalen Jr. Sales Account Executive Chose Data.com (discontinued) I have only been exposed to Data.com in this solution category. I am familiar with other comparable names, but since we are Salesforce-centric, Data.com is the tool of choice. Incentivized Helpful? Zach Ettelman Business Development Strategist Chose Data.com (discontinued) Data.com has a much bigger database than SharpSpring, making it a much more useful tool. Both tools integrated seamlessly into our CRM. Data.com's filtering capabilities make it a much more useful tool for us as we are able to segment lists better, and find contacts and … Incentivized Helpful? Steve Kim Sr. Manager, Revenue Operations Chose Data.com (discontinued) What I have found is that no single platform provides all the data we need, even Data.com. There are often inconsistencies between the information found on Data.com versus other platforms so we are using Data.com in parallel with these other platforms. The interface and the … Incentivized Helpful? James Reich Business Development Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) I feel RainKing is the winner regarding just contact details and org charts within companies. Their info is better up to date and a little easier to manage and search. However, Data.com might have the advantage when it comes to company breakdown, allowing for actual financial … Incentivized Helpful? Erik Viager Associate, Business Development Chose Data.com (discontinued) Data.com is great for filtering and finding specific contact and company information. Unfortunately much of that information is old and outdated. We recently did not renew our subscription with Data.com because we felt it could use improvement. We now use Winmo which provides … Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Henderson Acquisition Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) When we first purchased Datanyze, they had an email address portion of the site. The platform changed about halfway through our contract and no longer included access to email information. I believe that functionality is back as a feature of Datanyze. However, it always seemed … Incentivized Helpful? John Cupoli Account Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) The other crowd sourced data provider I've used is ZoomInfo. ZoomInfo generally has more direct numbers, however it appears as if they've done away with their free tier. The other downside of Zoom was you give them access to your email for them to data mine contacts. On the … Incentivized Helpful? Bryan Gorham Business Development Chose Data.com (discontinued) I have used data.com for about 6 months longer than ZoomInfo. Honestly, ZoomInfo seems to have more accurate data and the company bios are extremely helpful, as well as the integration in the form of an entire section of the page in Salesforce. Incentivized Helpful? Eric Farnham Director Inside Sales Chose Data.com (discontinued) Currently I have subscriptions to ZoomInfo, Synthio, and GetEmail.IO in addition to my data.com (Jigsaw) account. ZoomInfo is much better than Data.com for direct phone numbers and is very reasonably priced. Synthio has slightly lower quality data but can be much cheaper on a … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Levine Business Development Chose Data.com (discontinued) Once the scraper products became unusable Data.com became more valuable Incentivized Helpful? Leah Sevey Head of Customer Success Chose Data.com (discontinued) I used DiscoverOrg at a previous employer and I loved it. The information I received was usually reliable and quality, however, the service was quite expensive and I was only able to research the tech industry. hunter.io is fairly unreliable. The good thing is that they have a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) Data.com is tightly integrated with Salesforce. Given the expensive cost of Salesforce licenses, throwing this as an "add-on" is easy to justify internally as well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Data.com (discontinued) DiscoverOrg is another database for contact information. We actually use these two resources side by side. We use DiscoverOrg as our primary source since we pay for the subscription and it integrates more easily with our CRMs. Data.com is used by our SDRs as supplementary … Incentivized Helpful? Kayla Latulippe Small Business Sales Representative Chose Data.com (discontinued) I feel like DiscoverOrg has more as a whole, but Data.com is much easier to navigate and gain insight on prospective companies. Incentivized Helpful? PM Paul Murphy Market Research Analyst Chose Data.com (discontinued) I recently used quickmail for a client, it was awful. Software should actually perform its purpose. If you only have a few thousand contacts in a database, just provide the whole list. Using a search function where there aren't any results the last 15 searches, is worthless. … Incentivized Helpful? Robert Belton Business Development Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) Data.com was very comparable to the other softwares our oganization uses, and we use it as an everyday tool because of how easy it is to work within salesforce. Our organization utilizes multiple platforms and competitors of Data.com, each for their own different reasons. The … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Owskey Account Executive - Mid West Chose Data.com (discontinued) Compared to a Dunns or an alternate tool I feel data.com gives better integration with Salesforce which can help to maintain clean information. Additionally I believe that the cost for something like data.com is a bit more reasonable than some of the alternatives. If you are … Incentivized Helpful? Laura LaBine Chief Talent Officer Chose Data.com (discontinued) I've used other lead generating services, but they were unresponsive when I informed them of incorrect or updated data. Data.com's user community is very involved in the integrity of the data. Incentivized Helpful? Steven A. Levano Marketing Communications Manager Chose Data.com (discontinued) I also use Advertising Database, this tool doesn't have the robust database but it does have valuable market information that can be used. AdData also can identify marketers and their agencies. This is something that would be a great tool if it lived with in Data.com. … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Data.com (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products There are many scenarios that make data.com well suited, but most specifically, it works very well when looking for contacts within a certain zip code. You can sort and find information about these contacts and pay by points. This helps because you are able to pick and choose which you want to pay for.

Pros	Discontinued Products Data.com is a great way to find out accurate revenue and employee numbers for companies across various industries. Data.com's filtering capabilities allow our team to quickly find the ideal prospects to reach out to. Data.com, being owned by Salesforce, allows for a seamless integration into our CRM. This saves us an incredible amount of time and ensures data accuracy. Incentivized Zach Ettelman Business Development Strategist Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products Some contacts can be old. Perhaps they could consider validating some that are older than 5 years. They don't always detect duplicate companies. For example, I've added the same company twice before, I don't understand how they allow that, or prevent others from adding duplicates. It doesn't happen very often,, only occasionally. Sometimes data.com will "autocorrect" a job title incorrectly. For example, entering "Director of People & Culture" will autocorrect it to "Director of peopleandculture" If you don't catch it, it looks pretty bad for the next person who wants to view the contact. Incentivized PM Paul Murphy Market Research Analyst Read full review
Usability	Discontinued Products Very intuitive to use and I've never had any confusion with features. Anyone can create an account and use the platform simply by adding a contact or company into the database to earn points. It's a great option if you don't have budget for lists or pay services. It is easy to use and anyone can benefit from it. Incentivized John Cupoli Account Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Discontinued Products Whenever I've had a question their support has responded pretty quickly and gives me exactly what I am looking for. I have not had any technical issues so I can't speak to issues there, but as far as general questions from a free user they have impressed me with how quickly they get back to me and the thoroughness of their answers. Incentivized John Cupoli Account Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products Adobe Workfront may not be the direct competitor of Data.com, but for the services I was using, Workfront looked a little better when it comes to the user interface. But Data.com definitely had more powerful features & better integration capabilities. Also, it was easier to play around with the customer journey in Data.com as compared to other tools I have used in the past. Incentivized Ojas Korde Paid Search Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	Discontinued Products The positive impact is gaining more direct contact information for hiring managers. Another positive factor is that it is completely free. You gain points for contact information when you add contact information. Since it is a free resource, there are no real negative impacts.
