Data.com (discontinued) vs. ZoomInfo Operations

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.

The application is one that I would highly recommend for your sales team as they are able to seek out information that they would not normally be able to obtain through something like Salesforce or other applications. ZoomInfo for sure is the leader in my opinion in this area and I love the releases and additional features that they are always releasing.

• 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.

• 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).

• 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.

• Contacts underneath Companies can be outdated by 4+ years (left employer years prior).
• Customer support is not as engaged as a smaller software company might be. Delays in solving issues.
• Limits in sharing lists, queries, and tags between users under the same account.

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.

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.

The rating is simply because the tutorials can be made a lot more interactive. The tutorials are of such a level that it gets boring to a point. Also, another suggestion would be to incorporate pop-up help menus which would I believe help out immensely as well in case of improvement of usage for beginners.

Had very good experience when using it

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.

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

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.

This has a similar issue to RingLead Capture, as it only returns the data that users themselves update, which is often outdated or incorrect. However, RingLead Route does allow lead assignment and tracking in more ways than LinkedIn Sales Navigator does, which is helpful in visibility of what a full sales team is doing.

• 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.

• I have just signed a $9M account with the help of this product.
• I've had to double-check information due to accuracy.
• More analysis is to be conducted about the team's ROI, as it is early in the process for my company.
