Demandbase Sales Intelligence vs. HG Cloud Dynamics

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.

Intricately works great for seeing if a company's site and/or app is hosted on Amazon Web Services. This is our target market so, this helps confirm we are using our time wisely when sourcing companies. Intricately still has some areas to grow in short cut views vs pulling up the entire view.

• '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.

• Giving you CDN vendors
• Giving the Alexa ranking
• Gives you information on SaaS platforms and video platforms

• 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.

• It doesn't always seem to be accurate with hosting readings.
• Not the best shortcut views when compared to other solutions.
• Searching and list building still has room for growth.

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.

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.

Seems to always work.

It's pretty fast.

We had an intro session with a customer success rep and were given a rundown of the platform and it was absolutely perfect. The rep was able to show us advanced search options and shortcuts that cut our search time.

She was fine, but we only had one session

Seeing the demo during the sales cycle, not much training was needed due to this application being plug and play.

We had to work with InsideView for some custom configurations example we have a custom field in Salesforce called ha location that needed let's say NJ to spell out New Jersey and make certain fields mandatory. They were easy to work with though.

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.

Intricately stacks up pretty close to DiscoverOrg. Though DiscoverOrg is a lot more detailed on company information pertaining to changes in the organization and services used, Intricately gives a quick snapshot of company information available right at the point of presence to any website. It allows for quicker conversation whereas DiscoverOrg has a lengthier approach to finding company information.

• 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.

• Saving time on confirming we are spending our sourcing in the right areas (hosting provider).
• Saving time in getting to our target market quicker.
• It isn't 100% accurate, but the majority of the time it is accurate.
