    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.

    Spekit
    Spekit is extremely well-suited for customer-facing teams who truly have a business need for "just-in-time learning." While we all benefit from the concept of just-in-time learning, organizational representatives who must perform to a high standard in front of external-facing stakeholders particularly benefit from having quick access to processes, definitions, answers, contacts, and more in a tool that is easy to navigate. Spekit may not, however, be well suited for cash-strapped organizations that already have a content management tool like Confluence or SharePoint and can't afford to meet their customer-facing teams in the middle. While Confluence and SharePoint serve very important needs, they don't do a particularly good job of making content easy to find in a pinch. Spekit does.

    Pros

    • 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.

    • Looks great, the design of the plug-in looks very streamlined. It makes a difference if a plugin is ugly.
    • Integration is great. It installs into Google Chrome in seconds. It's always accessible when you need it
    • Usability is amazing. It automatically places itself near tabs that you might need help on.

    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.

    • Honestly, there are a lot of tools that do the same thing - there are lots of search tools for orgs that use too many tools to host content.
    • I truly despise all the little helpers when I download the extension. Its the worst, stop cluttering my chrome.

    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.

    As an administrator, it is very easy to navigate. I can easily see which content is performing well, which content has not been touched. It's simple to teach new team members how to create content. We have added new authors easily in multiple groups in the business.

    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.

    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.

    Spekit may not be as robust as Confluence or organized as SharePoint, but its use of embedded tooltips (Speks) and browser extension put it in the S Tier for "just-in-time learning" platforms - particularly for customer-facing teams.

    Return on Investment

    • 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.

    • The time saved from using Spekit is incredible. No more calls/emails asking "what's this field for?" or "How do I do ?" It's all right there, thanks to Spekit.
    • Using Spekit has provided an unexpected morale boost because it's not only easy to use, but it's making work more enjoyable too.
