Deltek GovWin IQ vs. D&B Hoovers

From a strategy and marketing perspective I get a ton of use out of Deltek. It is my go to tool for looking for relevant content as I help identify our strategy and sales pursuits. This tools gives good insight into future planning capabilities along with current opportunities and contracts that we should be considering. I could use more contacts in the federal space that are relevant to my business. I see a lot of non relevant but when it comes to the AEC area we need more focused point of contacts at federal sites

I recently was asked by my boss to try to drum up some business with a certain 500 million annual revenue company. When I searched for Contacts, a list of over 800 employees popped up. I was able to filter by department, and this pared the list down To a much more manageable 15 names with associated contact information. I was then able to sort further and select the names of all the employees that had an email or phone number listed.

We have been D&B Hoovers customers for a long time. We know the good and bad, and we have learned to utilize D&B Hoovers for the good and unfortunately we have to look at other data sources to compensate for the areas where they are bad. If D&B Hoovers can get better in these other areas as mentioned in other places in the review, they could get a larger dollar spend from my company

They are terrific at giving instruction/webinars. I am able to call, directly, to an individual and talk to that person. I'm not talking to a robot. They give personal service which is really special.

for our use case, the implementation was minimal and we did not need a lot of help. The D&B Hoovers platform is pretty intuitive and our account manager was ready for any questions that came up when we use the D&B Hoovers platform

Bloomberg does a better job with events in my sector. As far as ease of use, customer service I would go to Deltek GovWin IQ every time. I would like to see additional areas added that would increase my usage so I don't need to use multiple tools. Such as contacts and events

The company information provided by D & B hoovers is extremely in-depth and in detail, the accuracy of the information provided gives a very good idea about the prospective company and helps in making cohorts and evaluation fit. As compared to other companies D & B hoovers is not as efficient in detecting buyer intent which other tools like Slintel are very good at. D & B Hoovers gives amazing company info however it can improve on sharing information about buyer intent. Sales Navigator by far provides extremely accurate information with is almost 100% accurate. However, Navigator does not provide buyer intent information.

We're a small company with few users, so scalability has not been an issue.

• For my business, Deltek GovWin IQ provides a 1-stop resource for IT-related information about my major accounts. This saves me a tremendous amount of time & effort researching my accounts, identifying potential partners, and searching for updates to the relevant solicitations to my business.

• Honestly cannot say we really drove any new sales using D&B Hoovers to prospect new companies and leads. We obtained higher data quality with other tools like ZoomInfo and Skrapp.
• A year long contract that isn't honored on their side due to lack of customer service and poor data quality definitely does not equal ROI.
• Spent significant time sanitizing and cleansing inaccurate data provided by their service. Since time is money in business, that was a loss in that aspect.
