Demandbase OneStackAdapt
Considered Both Products
Demandbase One
Chose Demandbase One
I consider Demandbase One to be a more enterprise and mature account based marketing solution. It has a lot of features that are helpful, but only if you have the team, the plan, and the budget to take full advantage of them. I often recommend that clients start with a more …
Chose Demandbase One
Demandbase's targeting is a bit less specific, but reporting is much clearer and easier to use.
Chose Demandbase One
easier to use, easier to create and analyze campaigns
Chose Demandbase One
Demandbase offers more precise data compared to 6Sense. It is easy to use and navigate.
Chose Demandbase One
Zoominfo is much better, but our company chose to use Demandbase. I believe due to price.
Chose Demandbase One
I have only used Demandbase One so far, but I have heard from other colleagues that they prefer this tool over other tools they have used in the past. The only comparison I can make is doing it manually, which makes a massive difference, so I recommend a tool like Demandbase.
Chose Demandbase One
I'm not sure what other products our marketing team has evaluated or currently uses, but we are also using Drift for insight into website activity and live chats. They're similar in that you can track engagement but I've found the reports are a little more finicky. They also …
Chose Demandbase One
I like Demandbase better then Bullhorn. Demandbase is alot more user friendly.
Chose Demandbase One
Similar but I find the email digests more useful.
The chrome extensions stack up fairly evenly against each other.
Chose Demandbase One
I would use both as sometimes Lusha provides more phonenumbers
Chose Demandbase One
I haven't work with any other ABM product
Chose Demandbase One
They are different in many ways, but I like the Demandbase One platform best, because it gives us a better representation of what the ABM accounts are doing, by giving us a score representing the data of the last 30 days instead of real time.
Chose Demandbase One
I think it complements the service, not directly competing. Both are great prospecting tools that help improve overall productivity which results in eventual increase in sales and revenue. LinkedIn Sales Navigator is important during prospecting, in terms of the details of …
Chose Demandbase One
Demandbase One is much more of a true ABM tool. Apollo is more helpful in finding customer data and contact information.
Chose Demandbase One
I'm not sure about current feature set, but will reevaluate in October. It seemed more algorithmic than the Demandbase One set-up process.
Chose Demandbase One
I have used Marketo much longer and know how to do a lot more in that platform so I prefer that more at the moment but am willing to grow in my knowledge/ use if I can understand more how to better utilize Demandbase and be more cost effective and efficient.
Chose Demandbase One
Truly, I have not used anything super similar to Demandbase One, which maybe is why I am so blown away by the services. I have not used a platform that truly shows who is interested and backs it up with reliable information. At my past B2B tech company, there was some sort of …
Chose Demandbase One
I believe we also use ABM, but not sure. I do not evaluate the tools, I just use them
Chose Demandbase One
We actually use in tandem. Except zoom info, which Demandbase One replaced. Seems more accurate w intent but we doesn’t have contact data built in
Chose Demandbase One
We actually use both as, in our opinion, Zoominfo is better at the individual level and Demandbase One is better at the account level.
Chose Demandbase One
Integrated DSP was a huge selling point. Also, Demandbase One can use our ad tags simply and easily and this makes a huge difference.
Chose Demandbase One
The price is much better, and the capabilities of integrations are also better.
Chose Demandbase One
Demandbase One was more economical and feature-rich. The interface was also intuitive to use and all the key features were part of the core package like the journey builder, intents etc. So no hidden fees or long term contracts to get the essentials
StackAdapt
Chose StackAdapt
With Google Ads you are able to set your budget and work within it. However, it is pay per click so the price does increase substantially. StackAdapt seems more budget friendly.
Chose StackAdapt
StackAdapt has an easier self-serve platform than JamLoop, where you can also buy programmatic CTV and display banners. Though they lack audio placements, which is another cross-channel tactic in StackAdapt to reach the same audience with multiple formats. Comparable CPM rates …
Chose StackAdapt
I chose to continue with StackAdapt mainly because of the improvements it has made in the last few years.

Constant improvements and frequent feature releases created a sense of trust in building my business along with StackAdapt.
Chose StackAdapt
We have evaluated Criteo because we have many eCommerce clients. But we decided against it because StackAdapt seems to have much better and complete targeting options and ways to optimize campaigns post-launch, whereas Criteo feels more like a "spray & pray" approach. …
Chose StackAdapt
We selected StackAdapt because we thought they would provide us with a greater ROI for our prospecting campaigns and retargeting campaigns. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the prospecting campaigns which was that we had a very huge audience segment to target so it does not …
Chose StackAdapt
StackAdapt is significantly less expensive than the Trade Desk. StackAdapt doesn't have campaign minimums, unlike the Trade Desk, meaning you can experiment with a lower ad spend to gain client confidence before investing at a larger level. Plus they don't lock you into an …
Chose StackAdapt
Even though we find the StackAdapt UI clunky and not intuitive, it's a huge step up from the Basis UI. We previously used Basis and ran all the media ourselves, and there were spend thresholds we had to hit with Basis that often made it a constraining platform to use. …
Chose StackAdapt
The reason why we chose StackAdapt is their pricing and easy dashboards.
Chose StackAdapt
Much better in terms of audience definition and campaign control. We found AdRoll to be relatively easy to use, but light in terms of campaign parameters, whereas StackAdapt is also easy to use but allows us to be completely in the driver's seat.
Chose StackAdapt
StackAdapt has better pricing, customer support, and results.
Chose StackAdapt
I couldn't find Teads in the dropdown, but that's what I'd most compare StackAdapt too. Both generated strong results for our various clients and campaigns run on the platforms, but overall, I've been far more impressed with StackAdapt. Not only is StackAdapt's dashboard …
Chose StackAdapt
I've worked with the Trade Desk for six years. When it comes to native inventory they've always been my go to.
Chose StackAdapt
Basis is great for display ads. StackAdapt, however, is in a completely different world when it comes to NAtie ADvertising. Typical DSPs like Basis do not come close to comparing.
Chose StackAdapt
In terms of Native advertising, StackAdapt blows Outbrain and Taboola out of the water. The ability to drive impressions is similar between all three, but we have seen a large improvement in the quality of these impressions from StackAdapt. Clicks, engagement, and sales are all …
Chose StackAdapt
StackAdapt's video capabilities perform in-line with what we have seen from Sharethrough, but without any minimums attached to their campaigns. As far as Nativo, their traffic was lower, but the quality of those sessions was better. As far as re-targeting capabilities, we have …
Chose StackAdapt
StackAdapt has better support, better integration, is easier to work with, and listens to customers. Other platforms serve up a take-it-or-leave-it attitude to all but the largest customers.
Chose StackAdapt
We've run native campaigns in other platforms and they just don't measure up to the performance we see coming from StackAdapt.

User Testimonials
Demandbase OneStackAdapt
Likelihood to Recommend
Demandbase One is well-suited for ABM Marketing, providing intent-based account details, account scoring methods, and understanding account intent. It also enables creating a list of accounts and individuals for retargeting based on specific filters. Easy to integrate with Salesforce, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and multiple other channels. Advertising through the Demandbase channel is more effective for advertisers who use retargeting with the intent list.

Pros
  • 'Call Prep' - a list of industry-related questions to ask my prospects during the phone call to enhance trust and credibility as a business partner.
  • 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.

  • Communication: Their reps are incredibly transparent, thorough and detailed. I really, really appreciate that.
  • Creativity: Not only are the reps communicative, they actually bring new, fresh ideas to the table. As busy as we are, I can't thank them enough for that.
  • Easy-to-use: As detailed as the dashboard is, it's actually pretty easy to use and bring new users up-to-speed on.

Cons
  • Under the "highlighted" section there are only 6 accounts to see. It would be nice to have more than 6.
  • The engagement is rated in "minutes" while that's not really what is being scored. It's a little confusing as to how their engagement is scored.
  • It would be nice to be able to mute or hide of some contacts that we have already spoken to so that it opens space for other prospects.
  • Overall happy with the product
Read full review
  • There has been occasional slopping maintenance of the campaigns, and we have to follow up with questions about spending spikes or significant changes in delivery CPMs.
  • Account rep knowledge can sometimes be lacking. When we question our reps about performance, we sometimes get confusing or nonsensical answers.
  • The reporting UI is definitely clunky and unintuitive.

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.

The platform is easy to use and understand whether it is being used as self-serve or a managed service. The audience targeting is solid, and array of placements is versatile. With these, the level of engagement for video content is usually great

Usability
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.

It is very user friendly and if any team members need further help, we are able to easily access their customer service team for hands on assistance with an actual human being, not a robot. Their team has been incredibly kind, understanding and thorough. It is really a great all in one tool for a business who relies greatly on advertising campaigns.

Implementation is trivial. This is a cloud based solution. it is easy to identify companies and execs for alerting.Users looking to use the connections tool must download from social media and Outlook. They then have to upload the files to the platform.While they support custom sales triggers, users must define the key terms which define the event. Users must then wait several hours for the system to build the alert.

We selected Demandbase based on their premium B2B DSP, their integrations with third party ad sites and our CRM and tech stack. Their intent signals and ability to integrate the data we have in Demandbase to GCP through their DataStream product to build our own models and leverage in our own dashboards has been extremely beneficial

StackAdapt has an easier self-serve platform than JamLoop, where you can also buy programmatic CTV and display banners. Though they lack audio placements, which is another cross-channel tactic in StackAdapt to reach the same audience with multiple formats. Comparable CPM rates on CTV, and customer support on both is similarly strong.
