Lead Forensics vs. Medallia Digital Experience Analytics

It's a great system. As I said, I had never used it, but I feel that if I do move on, I would definitely take this with me - everyone I introduce it to via my network is amazed by it. As a small company, for our sales and marketing, it is a brilliant platform; in fact, I'll go as far as to say that our logistics and supply chain look at it daily as well. Reports are fantastic, and the fact that you can jump on and see data in real time is brilliant.

When we knew that there were some website issues, we were able to use Decibel Insights to really pinpoint the issue and then work on a fix. Again, if we are doing a CRO test then we could also use the tool for a similar reason. It is less suitable for complex websites or websites that are frequently changing, as a lot of support is required by the team and it takes a lot of admin to keep the Decibel Insights account working as effectively as it should.

• Lead Forensics helps us see which companies are visiting our site, even if they don’t fill out a form. This gives us a chance to reach out to businesses that are already showing interest but might not have contacted us yet.
• Instead of cold-calling random prospects, we can see which pages a company has viewed and how often they return. This helps us tailor our conversations based on what they’re actually interested in.
• The Lead Forensics support team has been great whenever we’ve had questions. They’re quick to respond and always ready to help, whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering advice on how to get the most out of the platform.

• Heat mapping provides a great understanding of UI pain points/bugs
• Integration with analytics tools (we use Adobe) brings in analytics analysis as well
• Helps to understand the user journey and where dropoff is occurring

• Better updates on companies' current names. Often if a company was a different company years ago it still says the old company name which is confusing.
• Better identifying the correct location. Sometimes it seems like that the location coming up is the wrong location.
• Giving a better understanding of how they got to the website would help too. Often is says "direct" but I would like to know if it was via a link from an email or what

• Being able to create groups of segments would be useful.
• The interface for selecting page types needs more options, it can be difficult to use if you have lots of similar pages.
• Would be good if top level stats were presented in different ways, or in a more visual way (ie pie charts, graphs).
• Generating reports - it would be nice if I could export charts and graphs instead of just CSV files.

I've heard about some new features that are coming online soon to do with tracking forms. They also offer a lead tracking package that we haven't tried yet, but I'm keen to check out.

Lead Forensics is usable and has clear videos scattered around the platform, encouraging users to level up. The CSM team is great at supporting and providing training for sales and marketing. Dashboards are a bit clunky, and the UI isn't the best. From memory, it hasn't really changed since we've been using it. These factors hold the platform back, as something as simple as filtering can be hidden behind a few clicks, which some salespeople are unaware of.

Top support from the Lead Forensics team. They take time to understand your business specifications, they make sure your needs are fulfilled, they show the new assets of the platform. The rythm for the business review is very flexible. You can access a live chat at any time. A lot of tutorials help you to deepen your skills in using the platform for your busines.

I’ve used SalesIntel primarily for contact data, but I haven’t explored its web tracking features. What sets Lead Forensics apart is how quickly it delivers actionable insights from site visits. It helps me identify engaged accounts and prioritize follow-up without extra effort. For our needs, Lead Forensics offered a more immediate impact on sales productivity and customer engagement.

I have used Hotjar before, and in comparison, the functionality and the abilities in Decibel Insights are so much more advanced. The only downside is the price difference between the two tools, but the adaptability and the customer support you get with Decibel Insights definitely make it a more manageable and long-term tool to integrate with your marketing activity.

• We are still in the very early stages of using Lead Forensics for our agency, but I can see that it could already be very useful to us as we haven't had insights like this previously.
• Our very first use case with Lead Forensics was with a brand-new client and I would say it went exceptionally well. We were running a large media campaign for them, and it was very insightful to see how those specific businesses were getting to the site and what page they were going to. Like mentioned previously, this helped their very small sales team to go after businesses they know were interested in them.

• We have improved form fills, which has provided more sales leads
• We have been able to tweak UI elements to make the site more navigable so that users want to spend more time on the site
• We have been able to more quickly and efficiently identify bugs on our e-commerce pages, increasing order rates among users
