Likelihood to Recommend 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.

Studying TAM: And landing at your ICP to target from a business development standpoint Lead Enrichment: Seamless can do it faster than most of the other tools Tracking Job Changes: They've added this new functionality recently, given the fact how important it is Not Well Suited:
Buyer Intent Data: Platforms like G2 and ZoomInfo are pretty good at providing buyer intent signals which is not there in seamless Extensive Search Capabilities: Search is not as powerful as LinkedIn Sales Nav or ZoomInfo Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Very easy to use LinkedIn extension find business email address One-click sync with our CRM Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Out dated email addresses Poor customer service Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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
Read full review Usability Whenever I had to use D&B hoovers, I never had a hard time with getting what I need. Additionally, when I show the tool to others, they tend to understand the platform quite quickly. The tool itself is very good and straightforward when I use it to help me put analyses together.

Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Great product and great people but I am still scared and scared of giving my credit card because of my experience with Seamless scammers.
Read full review Scalability We're a small company with few users, so scalability has not been an issue.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Scaling Outbound: Seamless has obviously helped us in the past when it comes to scaling our outbound function. List of contacts and leads can be uploaded in bulk and this is extremely useful in outbounding. User Friendly: Onboarding the team on Seamless was quite easy. Did not, like its competitors, make the browser hand. Has most integrations with major CRMs available. Light on the Pocket: Usually the case with growing teams, as it is not as expensive as its direct competitors. Though the quality of lead data information might be compromised by a certain percentage. Read full review ScreenShots
