If you're trying to find or build prompts for your team to get the data they need to make them go ahead. For example, we use it to find our accounts and prospects who are using voice agents. It was very valuable to get that information. So yeah, definitely you can use that.

RainKing is less appropriate when you don't have the funds or resources to pay for it. You could easily Google the information that you're looking for, or use CrunchBase, but it's extremely time-consuming. RainKing makes this very easy and the data seamlessly sends to Salesforce with the proper integration. RainKing is very appropriate when you have a large team of folks that need to source leads/accounts simultaneously and need licenses to do so - it's worth the money with a larger team.

Pros
HG Insights
  • It works great for seeing if the site or app for a company is hosted on AWS.
  • Intricately uses a different approach (vs the other tools we use) - which helps confirm from another angle.
  • It has a great google chrome plug-in.
  • UI/UX is modern and clean.

  • Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
  • The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
  • Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
  • I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.

Cons
HG Insights
  • integration with SFDC could be better
  • Sometime provides back an incorrect/no match when a better is available from an uploaded file, though this is getting slightly better
  • A way to gauge how many hits you will get off an intent topic before selecting them so you don't feel like one is going to waste could be useful.

  • Account manager - really unresponsive, not interested in helping with renewal, making the case to our execs
  • The Discover/RainKing team was not interested in helping us expand the way we are utilizing the tool, provide additional training, etc
  • Contacts department designation lacks in accuracy, we frequently found significant mismatches

Usability
HG Insights
It’s very easy to use, and the team is very responsive and friendly to work with. The information is unique and usable and can complement some of the data we get from call recordings. The integration with Salesforce is easy to implement and offers good insights into our database.

- Sales Intel seems to be more of a direct competition. Their human research seems to be something interesting. Also the claim to focus on firmographics - We went with Bombora for intent technology in the past - We did not move forward with 6sense

I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more powerful to use.

Return on Investment
HG Insights
  • It has a big, big impact, a huge impact, because we were able to identify that it resolved the problems where we were trying to sell our voice and see how it can beat other customers. So finding our competitors, which helped us a lot.
  • It definitely helped a lot because, since we introduced a new product, we are trying to find our competitors. So it was like this was a bottleneck, not able to know which customers are using voice support. So we were able to get that and to be able to not only extract and bring that information in front of the users so that we can identify the accounts and they can start working on it, save time, save money, and get the business done.

  • I don't have that information readily available to quantify the positive impact. However, I will say that I've found a lot of good prospects via RainKing to target my outreach efforts to. I definitely feel like the product pays for itself.
