Data.com (discontinued)Datanyze
Considered Both Products
Data.com (discontinued)
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 Unfortunately much of that information is old and outdated.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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
Chose Data.com (discontinued)
Once the scraper products became unusable Data.com became more valuable
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 …
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.
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 …
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.
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. …
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 …
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 …
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.
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. …
Datanyze
Chose Datanyze
I've used products like Builtwith and Wappalyzer and neither compare to the level and organization of data within Datanyze. It's much more robust and easy to access. However, it isn't perfect and sometimes needs to be updated, or removed and re-installed simply for it to function
Chose Datanyze
BuiltWith does not offer as comprehensive of a software analysis compared to Datanyze. You can get by with BuiltWith, but for larger non-profit organizations that have many different systems, Datanyze is a better fit. When working with smaller organizations, you can get by just …
Chose Datanyze
I think Clearbit is a superior product to Datanyze, though it isn't always as user-friendly as Datanyze always was. Clearbit has much better integrations with email service providers so that you can get accurate information on people you solicit as you are writing them emails …
Chose Datanyze
We assessed a Datanyze competitor called Datafox multiple times via calls and meetings. They reach out to us all the time but overall we felt that Datanyze seemed like the better product and was also a little more affordable.
Chose Datanyze
We used to use RainKing, but found the quality of the data extremely lacking. Roles had changed, contact info had changed, and we were not seeing the engagement from outreach to those lists. Also aware of ZoomInfo, but did not try that after results with RainKing.
Chose Datanyze
We use both tools as neither has the complete data set that our sales team needs. Datanyze is one of the best for company data points and technologies that a company uses, but we use ZoomInfo and others to get email addresses and phone numbers once we identify our target …
Chose Datanyze
We selected Datanyze at the time because it was the most comprehensive in terms of the types of accounts they had profiled in their database as compared to ZoomInfo and DiscoverOrg. Datanyze has really strong search/list building functionality. At this point within our team, …
Chose Datanyze
The UI of Datanyze is better than some of the alternatives. They also maintain information on certain technologies that other vendors do not. I also like the company notification (i.e. when a company changes a technology). As far as other features, I have seen that they are …
Chose Datanyze
Datanyze has done a sufficient job at providing me and my team with insights in the mobile industry. They do not have an iOS footprint like the other platforms I have used like Mixrank and Apptopia. I have found Datanyze's SDK information on the Google Playstore to be the most …
Chose Datanyze
I recently evaluated a few other techno-graphic companies, and they seemed to be more expensive when it comes to the cost of exporting data.
Chose Datanyze
Datanyze has much deeper information around the tech stacks that companies are using. They are not always 100% accurate but I have found them to be much better than other solutions. We selected them because they are laser focused on what they do and not trying to be all things …
Chose Datanyze
Datanyze was originally offering contact information. This was a main reason for choosing the service. Something happened and they no longer offered emails for company contacts. Had we known the contact feature wasn't going to be a part of the service in the future, we wouldn't …
Chose Datanyze
Datanyze is solid product but needs to expand its iOS support and improve some of its accuracy. Overall I like it more than the other platforms and we currently have a annual subscription with them.
Chose Datanyze
Data.com has better lead info but Datanyze allows you to look into the technologies used by a company which provides a great deal of benefit when prospecting so that you know what questions to ask when trying to start or influence a conversation.

Data.com (discontinued)Datanyze
Likelihood to Recommend
Data.com is a good prospecting and data information tool for any agency or company doing outbound prospecting. Data.com requires you to also have Salesforce CRM, so this tool is really only suited for those companies that can afford Salesforce. Because of this, Data.com seems like a better fit for companies with at least 30 or more employees (total in the company) and at least 5 Salesforce users. Data.com is not a good fit for small businesses.

Datanyze can be a useful tool for understanding your market. You're able to use Datanyze to see how many people are using your technology as well as who is using your competitors. Receiving alerts on who is adding and dropping you vs your competitors is always helpful. It's a tool that can potentially give back as much as you put in.

Pros
  • The contact information the website provides tends to be accurate.
  • I like that it is free and works on a point system- the more info you give, the more info you get.
  • I like that you can update contact information as needed.

  • Compared to BuiltWith, Datanyze recognizes more software vendors.
  • I'm given so much information when I pull Datanyze that I normally don't have to waste time on a website figuring out what software a prospect is using.
  • The breakdown of software vendors with logos is very user-friendly.

Cons
  • Even though it has a lot of features, sometimes it gets overwhelming for a newbie. So I would really appreciate it if the user interface gets more friendly.
  • There are some digital advertising channels that Data.com struggles to connect. Also, within some channels like LinkedIn, it would be great if data.com could get more granular on ad type, ad targeting level (speaking from a marketing perspective).
  • It has limited visualization capabilities where there is a lot of scope for improvement.
Read full review
  • The browser extension times out a lot so can be a pain.
  • It would be great to have a better mobile app of this or at least be able to view this data on the go in an easier to read format. The app is limited in functionality.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • As a freelancer, I've made thousands of dollars building sales lists, for what began as a $50 trial.
  • Cross referencing with LinkedIn helps to explain to clients the job title progression a person has had, which can add to your credibility and strengthen your report content.
  • Data.com hasn't had a negative return for me. Every dollar and minute of effort I have used it was worth it.

  • Datanyze reduced our time to prospect leads by at least 50%.
  • It created a go-to place for us to research prospects and got everyone on the team on the same page in regards to our data.
  • Datanyze increased our number of relevant conversations by at least 2x because we have confidence when reaching out to a company that we can speak directly to their need.
