Considered Both Products
DemandScience
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science was less expensive when quoting cost per lead than Tech Target. Other than that, the program sounded almost the same. I selected Demand Science because I was price sensitive while trying to test whether the tactic of content syndication was effective for us.
Chose DemandScience
Mainly in the flexibility of targeting
Chose DemandScience
Demandbase and Demandbase Advertising Cloud
Chose DemandScience
DS has a huge database and therefore lead count within the niche audiences and industries.
Many other lead partners are specialized in one industry. DS is capable of delivering in multiple industries, which is awesome if you target different target audiences as well. There is a …

Chose DemandScience
Over the past year we've utilised a variety of content syndicators, approximately six or seven in total, as we believe in maintaining a diversified mix of suppliers to ensure comprehensive and well-rounded marketing efforts. While all these platforms have their individual …
Chose DemandScience
I've only used DemandScience for content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
I've not used another content syndication company, and I probably won't after the lack of results we've had. I have used direct email organizations, and they are stronger but also more expensive, so you have to weigh your priorities. I could see if you were selling a specific …
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science has the largest audience in our target groups, which is exactly what we need, as we always require high volumes of leads.
They are also very good when it comes to account management, we always feel that they are there for us, and if we ever have any issue, they …
Chose DemandScience
We have used other media vendors from the likes of Madison Logic, Inbox Insight etc.

However, it has been the direct feedback from the client, great customer service and competitive CPL rates that have influenced our choice.
Chose DemandScience
I would say it is similar to Madison Logic when it comes to the quality of leads and customer service. We are yet to see results coming from GumGum's contextual approach but from a content syndication perspective they are one of the more reliable ones out there, especially for …
Chose DemandScience
We have used Tech Target in the past which is much more expensive than Demand Science but lead quality is the same across both vendors
Chose DemandScience
Similar offering to other content syndication offerings. Of 12 tested partners in the last year, DS ranked 7th in Opportunity Rate and 4th on CPL rate.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is a good tool, but doesn't measure up to some other more tech-oriented content syndication players. Taboola is an excellent tool that has a very good user interface to set up the launch and monitor campaigns.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is easy to use.
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science's communication skills through email against the ones selected is great! when it comes to getting preview links to go live in the markets they are quick to generate these. As well as getting them amended as per our request, we never have any issues with this …
Chose DemandScience
All vendors have their strengths and weaknesses. Due to the scale of activity we do on behalf of our clients, we tend to always use a basket of vendors to deliver the lead volumes we require. DemandScience is always on the preferred partner list and will thus be considered for …
Chose DemandScience
Again, the main draw to DemandScience was primarily the Scale available across all markets we attempted to target and garner leads from.
Chose DemandScience
Madison Logic Platform, BrightTALK and TechTarget Lead Generation
Chose DemandScience
Good for quality appointment setting, poor against content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is on the more preferred half of vendors due to their negotiated CPLs and willingness to step up to the plate.
Terminus ABM Platform
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I would say Terminus is easier to use and more cost effective. It is a better solution for beginners to get up and running with ABM marketing with enough runway to advance. Their customer service team is average, but there are learning tools to teach yourself. Lots of …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I was not involved in the evaluation process, however, I have heard that [the] Terminus ABM Platform is much more robust and the information [source] is much better.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Where Terminus ABM Platform was better than other options we evaluated: Much better quality and reach of [the] display network. More ability to tweak display network preferences and do things like contextual content targeting. Good control over ad budgets and pacing with …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Intent data & ad experiences were more robust & allowed for more customizations. Also - the interface was much more difficult to navigate to gain reporting insights that are valuable.

Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Price, integration an inclusion of Bombora intent data.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is competitive from not just a pricing perspective, but [its] ability to push more campaigns, through multiple channels, all through the Terminus platform.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I ran through a demo with the Triblio rep about a month ago. The platform seems to be very comparative to Terminus when it comes to the primary functionality. You can do display advertising to individuals based on company and other criteria. In talking with the Triblio rep, …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Sendoso and Terminus are alike in that they both work to add "personalization" into Marketing. However, they are not competitors per-say. Sendoso personalizes the physical interactions (direct mail) while Terminus works on the digital landscape. I would say Terminus more …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I do not have experience with similar products.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
None at this time. We will be researching others when renewal time comes around.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
We selected Terminus really before evaluating other vendors because they're local.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus's professional services and support, along with its command-center approach, deliver a huge value to a ultra-lean fast moving business like Phononic. As a semiconductor startup that is rapidly growing, we need partners that can not only keep up with us, but also push …

Bizible is the only tool that I've done quite a bit of research on and it seems to be more advanced and further along than Terminus. They have an integration with SFDC as well as the ability to connect to a data warehouse.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
We chose Terminus because of the campaign attribution models. Many companies do target account ad targeting, but none did that plus the revenue attribution from marketing.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Engagio: their analytics platform is slightly more refined, but Terminus is rapidly catching up. It is worth just using Terminus for the cost and would be another tool to complicate the Martech stack. Triblio: for a basic program, they have too many bells and whistles that are …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
When we first went with Terminus, they had better functionality at the time and offered us a better deal.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Sigstr is a solution for commercial teams. It allows the Customer Experience or Marketing team to manage the environment without getting IT involved. Other solutions we saw were basic IT managed solutions with no integrations or analytics.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Drift has banners available in their email tool, furthermore, we are able to mimic a Sigstr banner in Hubspot when we build emails by placing the banner image with a link in the bottom of an email, it's just a more manual process.

I can't recommend any other solution over …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is a lot easier to use than other tools we have used or evaluated for our ABM campaigns. Updating what we want to see and working with their team has been a great experience. They listen and seem to understand our specific industry better. They aren't looking to …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
DemandScience is great if you are looking for the ability to target very specific titles, roles, companies, etc., and receive high quality leads. They have an incredible scale compared to other partners my team has worked with, but their leads also perform very well down the funnel. This is not always the case because oftentimes, a partner will have room to scale well, but the leads are colder. I'm really impressed with how well DemandScience targets and also with how quickly they respond to me when I have any questions. Recently, my DemandScience rep reached out because he wanted to get our targeting more honed in on our ideal customer. He wanted to work with me to see down-funnel data (where possible and allowed) so that we could create a more targeted campaign. Other partners have never put this kind of time into our partnership.

I really love working with the team. If you are looking to get more targeted in your advertising approach, leverage intent data & have your sales team utilize this data for a more personalized experience - that is the best-case scenario. You do need to invest quite a bit into your advertising to be able to gather data & see [the] influence, so if your AOV would be impacted drastically by this cost, I would not recommend using the advertising experiences and chat experiences until you can invest more.

  • Event Announcements. We use Sigstr to promote hosted and co-hosted events. Email recipients can click on the Sigstr to register for the event itself. By promoting events through Sigstr we have been able to increase event registration and attendance.
  • Content Sharing. New blog post, webinar, presentation, infographic... you name it, you can use Sigstr to promote it. Furthermore, you can personalize the content to target different audiences based of the sender group. Example: customer content Sigstr belongs to support, while marketing new business content belongs to sales.
  • Announcements. Product enhancements, Company news etc. You can use Sigstr to promote general announcements relevant to the audience.

Cons
  • Management and attention to detail - several items slip through the cracks.
  • Coordination between account management and invoicing has been sloppy.
  • Better intent data to match profiles.
  • Connecting the download to the actual sponsor - often heard, "We never downloaded XYZ."

  • They recently purchased some new solutions that are being integrated into the platform so once that is completed it will be a much more robust solution.
  • I think updating what is considered high value vs brand awareness on the spike report could be a little more seamless.
  • For Salesforce integration, Terminus information unfortunately doesn't pull in historically, it just shows what has happened since the integration started. I think it's unfortunate because that historical data tells us a lot.

It works well for lead generation but renewal will depend on the strategy and budget at the point we need to renew to see if it will align.

Terminus is a turn-key partner in the B2B Account-Based Marketing space. Their model is flexible and efficient which in turn provides effective results. Their sales staff is great and never tries to up-sell, but rather coach and educate our teams to be better at our jobs. It has been great to collaborate

Usability
The leads were pretty straight forward. However, their appointment setting did not integrate well into our system and many of the meetings didn't occur. I had to chase a lot of prospects and many times Demand Science didn't provide direct dials.

They did extremely well. However, our executives did a poor job in defining our ICP so we didn't get the maximum benefit out of it.

It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization as your organization continues to mature through their ABM journey.

  • Excellent account management and named-person support

  • It's EXTREMELY hard to assess total ROI with display advertising unless you're getting clicks on your ads. Even then you probably want additional tracking metrics such as Google Analytics, form fills, etc.
  • Our sales guys like the engagement spike reports, which can be useful for prompting them to reach out to their contacts.
