HG Insights Platform vs. Think ABM

For someone working in B2B IT Marketing, the HG Insights Platform has a wide range of data available that is suited for both a data level employee as well as an ISR. The one draw back is the integration with SFDC isn't as great as we'd like, meaning it is more manual for us to run propensity models using more than one source of data.

In the duration of our campaign, any requests that we made never received any pushback. Whether this was to change reporting types or creative material, Mark and Brian were able to get them implemented with ease. They made any changes swiftly and always kept a close eye on our campaign to ensure that our objectives were being met. We had weekly meetings to discuss campaign performance and they always had constructive suggestions to offer on how we can keep improving the campaign. Each meeting was very productive in discussing next steps - it was a breath of fresh air to have a team that was so knowledgeable about what they do, and truly wanted to help our campaign succeed.

• 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.

• 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.

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

Compared with other vendors, the customer experience that you get with Think ABM is vastly different from other vendors. It's not a simple "plug and play" kind of campaign where you hear from the vendor at the end of the campaign, or at the end of every month where you get a report that just lists your CTR. Not only that, they curate their own TAL to go in tandem with your own list, so that you are able to reach your targeted accounts while increasing your exposure to other companies as well which is great from an awareness standpoint. Their offerings in awareness also consisted of native, display, video, and OTT/CTV - differing from just your traditional display/native options. These can also be paired with lead gen to fully optimize on your ROI.

• I don't massively get involved in financial matters, but the propensity models we use internally to help run our campaigns are certainly a big factor when our sales people approach our clients.
• Every campaign sold now comes with a flat data fee for us to run and use a propensity model for the activity we complete on behalf of our clients.
• Whilst the client will never see the raw data behind the model (of which HG does play a part along with our other data sources) they are briefed on the methodology and reasoning behind them.
