ZoomInfo Sales is a modern go-to-market platform for B2B companies. ZoomInfo Sales helps find buyers based on an Ideal Customer Profiles (ICP), advanced company attributes, and accurate contact information in B2B. It is used to identify the next customer using data-driven insights and buying signals that reveal companies that are ready to buy.
It is very easy to learn to use and the data integrity that it provides is better than its competitors in this space which makes a huge difference. It allows you to maximize your time.
When I talk about ZoomInfo stacking up against the software that I have selected above, I'll say that ZoomInfo lacks a lot of features when it comes to the comparison of price and features. So even the basic license of Apollo provides you with email automation, LinkedIn …
Apollo.io and LinkedIn have poorer quality data, but LinkedIn can do other things ZoomInfo Sales can't, and Apollo.io has other focuses like flows/sequences. Clay can have better quality data through its scrapping capabilities

Strengths: Large B2B contact database, Strong U.S. coverage, Direct-dial phone numbers (one of its biggest advantages), Organizational charts and reporting hierarchies.
ZoomInfo has easier functionality, integration and far far more data available than the alternatives. It is more expensive by a decent margin but if that isn't an issue for a business then it is definitely the absolute best resource available for business data.
We used to also use DiscoverOrg but now that they are a part of ZoomInfo, they've combined the platforms into a new offering. There are other providers but they don't measure up in terms of continual data accuracy or size of the dataset.
Better data, better user experience. Easier to learn. Faster to export, search, qualify. It is more expensive (for us) but is so worth it for data accuracy and user experience. Customers get so upset when you call with bad data, so it helps reps be more successful when they …
Bombora was better for Intent as we were not limited to such a small segment. Outreach is better for direct email campaigns. My version of ZoomInfo does not have email campaigns.
Demandbase has outdated info. No good way to export contacts. There is no sidebar; you have to use the tool on its own to find people, and the information is unreliable. It's not user-friendly. Zoom has all of that and more.
ZoomInfo Sales has all the info in one place. No longer do you need to check 5 tools to verify info! Its all available in ZoomInfo Sales so it simplifies my day to day.
ZoomInfo Sales is solid for enterprise-level data depth, but Apollo edges it out in usability, value, and efficiency for everyday prospecting. ZoomInfo Sales has broader coverage, but Apollo’s data tends to be more accurate and up-to-date for the contacts we actually care about.
A scenario wherein ZoomInfo Sales is well-suited, as I said, is good for giving you the details, the intent, and scope for a specific person working at a very specific company, and also the initiatives that are currently going on in the organization. When it comes to updating a contact's email and phone number, it does so very accurately. Apart from that, the call script feature generates a call script immediately after the call connects, in three to four seconds. Then there is a customer mapping filter where you can find similar customers to your existing ICPs. And then when it comes to maybe the things or scenarios that are less appropriate, it's again the Chrome extension part. Also, on the onboarding part, we have experienced that the onboarding did not go that smoothly. The email generation part that ZoomInfo claims is quite good. For us, the result that came out was all four to five of our emails, the email template that we had made in ZoomInfo. So all these four to five emails had the same body, the same subject line, just we can say 98% of the email were same, just 2% change in them. And there is no scope for automation. You have to process each and everything manually, even today in ZoomInfo.
Zoominfo provides us scoops regarding any new upcoming project or pain points (difficulties) facing by certain companies which helps a lot in our business to contact such companies.
Zoominfo gives us the exaction info such as email address, Direct or Cell phone number of particular contact which we want and we don't get anywhere except zoominfo
Zoominfo has huge database. Intent is one of the favorite section where we get the exact info about the companies/industries which we want
Zoominfo Connects with Hubspot which is another benefit for us to add any specific contact directly to our HubSpot app.
For initial users, the system can be a little overwhelming. A ZoomInfor SalesOS Basics guide could be beneficial to keep new users from feeling lost amongst all the options.
Clearer instructions on how to set targeted search parameters for inbound information would be beneficial.
I'm not the contact. But I see it is where things are moving and if you don't have the information ZoomInfo gathers and continues to be more honed in on our customer or prospective customers, we will lose any advantages we once had and will be left behind.
The sidebar is seamless, and it's easy to navigate, unlike other tools. I like that the advanced search isn't too complicated, either. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm not using the tool to its full capability, but it's great for a combination strategy of sales navigation and Zoom.
There would have nice while providing a great platform to use, to have an in person class to show how it would best serve us and to navigate. Nothing was provided to myself outside of having a sign on and the preloaded steps to get through basic processes
There’s a few not listed. All in all, ZoomInfo Sales is an essential tool if you’re hunting hard and often. The AI functionality is superior to anything else I’ve used. However, if you’re a come and go, now and then prospector you can get by with other search engines that are “static” or seeming to be lacking in current data. LI Sales Nav is great, but you’re not going to get ahold of normal mid level people on there, and contact details are protected. The biggest competitive benefit here is you get everything you could possibly want to know, I’m not aware of any other product that can hang.
