Likelihood to Recommend I think the best scenario for using Definitive Healthcare is if accuracy isn't very important. If you just want to spam a lot of people and you don't really care where the contacts land, they're your vendor. If, on the other hand, you like accuracy and are hoping the commercial list vendor supplies data that will help your business grow, I feel they are less well suited to those use cases.
Read full review While InsideView seems more comprehensive than LinkedIn SalesNavigator, when you're looking to identify and save contacts with a particular area of responsibility (IT, for instance), Navigator provides results and means to track them more quickly and easily. Having to "unselect" every other job area category when initially landing on a company overview page in InsideView is tedious and time-consuming.

Regularly scrubbed email and phone numbers of prospects. The verified direct-dial mobile number is GOLD. You may be able to get some of these elsewhere by paying extra with a separate standalone service. Having this integrated has improved my workflow, saving time from switching in and out of different apps. The family tree of organizations is particularly useful for targeting enterprise accounts that often come with convoluted company shareholding structures. 'Challenges' and 'Trends' - information to engage prospects during conversations. Read full review Cons Outdated UI and lacks integration with popular software Account Management team is unempowered to solve problems or come up with creative solutions. Slow response time. I waited 3 weeks for a response from their team on a question. Database lack key contacts especially Director level and above. Poor tool for sales team. Poor customer service. I constantly felt like I was chasing them for a meeting or on questions. Read full review As a system administrator, I wish I had access to real time reports regarding usage. Often times, senior leadership wants to know how their teams are using the information and who is using the software to its fullest. It's a pain to have to email InsideView and ask for a report. We are a global organization and there is not a lot of information regarding companies outside the US. I know they are working on this, but my global field reps are anxiously waiting to use the software too. I wish InsideView put out more "tips and tricks" documents. There does not seem to be a large repository of training documents. I am always looking to learn more, as are my reps. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Relatively inexpensive service for a decent current awareness service. They have added little in sales functionality in the past year as they focused on building a marketing version of the product. Except for the addition of broader European coverage last spring (thin Equifax records), the database was static over the past year.
Read full review Usability It was unusable for us because key contacts were not there and our sales team had to tell Definitive what contacts were missing. Waste of time and money.
Read full review InsideView was extremely user-friendly. I was able to quickly understand how to efficiently use the software and get the most out of the service. I only had a short time to quickly learn how to use the functions offered by InsideView, and I felt confident within the first day of my understanding and ability to successfully use this tool.

Read full review Alternatives Considered I use both. Definitive Healthcare is better when you need specific hospital and clinic names.
ZoomInfo only gives you a local address but refers to each location as the health system name so hard to define where particular people are from.
Read full review In my previous company, I was using both Linkedin and
ZoomInfo , both of them were good, but there was a lot of restrictions with the basic versions, and when we shifted to the
LinkedIn Sales Navigator , and
ZoomInfo the quality improved but there was not much to get like InsideView. In my current company, at first we were using LinkedIn, but now I appreciate the decision made by our seniors to shift to InsideView. It is my personal opinion that I feel InsideView is better than LinkedIn and
ZoomInfo .
Read full review Return on Investment In my experience, We've experienced no value from the data In my opinion, we've paid for no value So the RoI is negative Read full review Makes researching much easier so saved time prospecting. Cleaner information than other relative sites so not using bad information. Hard to put a number on saved time and then its dollar value in benefit, but it has definitely furthered my goals.
