    It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

    PersistIQ
    PersistIQ is well suited for outbound marketing. It's great for setting up sales and marketing campaigns to new and prospective clients. The fact that PersistIQ emails are basic (they look like normal personal emails) and easy to personalize, makes the whole process feel more genuine than, say, MailChimp. PersistIQ won't replace a bulk emailing tool or CRM. It serves a different purpose than, for example, Marketo or MailChimp, two products we also use

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • DataFox allows you to filter your company searches with very specific criteria. This ensures that you generate companies that are relevant to your customer segment and that will have promise.
    • DataFox has awesome export functionality. Once you create a list of companies, you can export it to Excel/CSV and import the list to Salesforce.
    • DataFox has a very clean and easy and approachable User Interface that is easy to navigate and learn quickly.

    PersistIQ
    • Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails.
    • Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.
    • When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • It has too little information on emerging markets like Latam.
    • Only big companies, you can't find info on small ones.
    • Making it easier to educate the AI.

    PersistIQ
    • I wish there was a way to send more than 1,000 emails per day.
    • If it had more integrations with data scrapers or ways to add new leads it would be much better.
    • I'd like a way to go deeper into a lot of my stats on various emails.

    In my opinion, poor service, and in our experience, ignoring our advise on who our customers are.

    Terrible; non-existent. Weeks without replies, and no improvements in 4 months.

    We utilize both for the most accurate information in terms of employee count of company, location of headquarters address, validity of what current technology that may be using today. Also cross reference this information with LinkedIn and other sites to get the best info possible to determine rules of engagement for reps.

    PersistIQ
    We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back to manual emailing and Linkedin connecting.
