Klarity by DemandScience vs. D&B Hoovers

If you're using the system for lead generation and intent data, it is great. If you're able to create a CRM integration to actively pull an ABM intent data list, you'll be able to track changes in intent search to reach criteria to interact and reach out for when a buyer is ready. A lot like marketing scoring rules for interacting with your website or from a whitepaper download, intent data is great to utilize for reaching out to potential clients when the time is right. And sales is sometimes knowing when the time is right.

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.

• allows you to search within broad industry categories or very detailed subcategories using a variety of methods (NAICS, SIC, D&B's internal coding system, keywords, etc.)
• Has a variety of personnel that you can view and sort by level, name, or email availability.
• Oftentimes emails for C-level personnel cannot be located on the company website or easily found elsewhere online.

• Quality of data
• User interface
• Integration with Salesforce.com

• We should be able to "exclude" words from titles or company names
• Able to access titles and email addresses more easily - not look at list first, select find matching contacts button, then go back to sort to add titles contain and email addresses, etc. This is a two-step process to get what I need.

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

Price is a big point of choosing DemandScience Intelligence to supplement ZoomInfo. I actually use both platforms. I like ZoomInfo's larger database but the best thing about DemandScience Intelligence is confirmed connect, the ability to easily apply multiple filters, and apply confirmed connect - which is one of the best features.

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.

• connection rate is increasing providing SDR's with more opportunities to have conversations, learn messaging quicker and navigate through the company to find the correct poc

• 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.
