D&B Hoovers vs. LeadsPedia

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.

Leadspedia is perfect for lead-gen campaigns. It makes tracking very simple. It's great for CPA,CPC and CPL campaigns. I've never tried using it for a CPV type campaign, so I'm not sure how it does with that

• 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.

• LeadsPedia lives and breathes lead and call tracking. Few, if any, platforms do this better.
• LeadsPedia has integrations with several solution providers in the lead gen space, which facilitates lead validation and compliance.
• LeadsPedia's platform is incredibly feature rich, which gives end users plenty of optionality.

Incentivized

• 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.

• I'd love to see LeadsPedia modernize its user interface. The UI already intuitive, but it looks a little outdated.
• I'd love to see LeadsPedia continue integrating with new solution provides in the marketplace. They've done this well, but they should continue these efforts.
• I'd love to see LeadsPedia build out a robust knowledgebase to educate end users on all of their features and functionality.

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

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.

Previously, we had to use both CAKE and Invoca seperately. Cake for lead tracking, and Invoca for call tracking. Now we only have to use one platform, Leadspedia. It's much more user friendly, and makes campaign setup incredibly simple. Wish we would've switched to Leadspedia ages ago.

Incentivized

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

• 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.

Incentivized

• It has centralized our entire program, and cut back on a lot of manual reporting
