Data.com (discontinued) vs. UpLead

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.

This is a highly recommended product. The

account-based product marketing which is one of the best features in UpLead
which allows users to target the audience which is the best for the product and
help in increasing conversion. It provides data of different companies and
contacts with the picture, email addresses, and social media accounts.

• 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.

• UpLead is the best lead database in terms of price per lead and provided the most accurate and valid emails.
• It constantly updates their list and adding new people, companies and removes bad leads. However, you need to very careful when you are filtering and sorting data, and any wrong selection can cause tons of garbage leads/ emails.
• It allows us to send the information directly to our CRM, saving me time and keeping us organized.
• We especially appreciate the real-time email verification feature of UpLead.

• 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.

• More data on small and start-up companies, but this situation is understandable.
• Collecting a long list of contacts, especially of overseas companies, can sometimes take a while as UpLead is verifying the data. But the wait is typically understandable and worth it.
• Sometimes I struggle with translating job functions in a foreign language, but this is easy to overcome.

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 tool is robust, it's powerful, it's accurate, and it's extremely helpful and pivotal in my current banking sales role. I could not succeed without UpLead's accurate data and contact information. I'm thankful that such an incredible service exists at such a fair and reasonable price, thank you for the value that you provide your customers and thank you for making me a very successful salesman and wealthier man

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.

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 money.

These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. So, there was a high chance when using ZoomInfo that a large number of my emails were bounced back as the email ids were either fake or didn't even exist in the first place.

• 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.

• We use the data to conduct highly targeted email campaigns, on average we're seeing open rates anywhere from 35% to 60% which is very good.
• We have been able to reduce our cost per lead (CPL) by 20% using UpLead.
• Using their intent data we can now actively market to warm leads.
