LeadGrabber Pro vs. OpenText Magellan

It has proved to be the best lead provider based on the accuracy of information. We are confident that the email finding technology that results in a deliverable status will increase the number of people we are able to market to. Our company markets and sells to a very specific buyer, so being able to find leads that are updated by the buyer is a game changer.

If you do not have a large budget and are a large organization, I would steer clear of Actuate. If you are looking to do very complex washboarding, I would not use them. Your developers have to be very skilled to work with this. Plan to bring in consultants if necessary to help your process. Adhoc reporting is weak. If your pricing is user based and you expand, this could be very expensive.

• LeadGrabber Pro is a great lead generation tool. If you know who you want to target, you find people on Linkedin that meets your specific targeting and then capture their business contact information. This information can then be used to send emails or make calls to these contacts.
• In addition to getting their email/phone number, we are able to capture other important information like their twitter id. This information can be used to better target prospects on social media as well.
• Leadgrabber has offered excellent support whenever issues have arrived with the system. Though there hasn't been many issues, whenever there has been an issue, their support team has always replied in a timely manner and has also fixed all issues quickly and effectively.

• The report outputs can vary across different types such as HTML, PDF, and Excel
• Their open source offering is very sufficient
• There are great boards and blogs for developers and engineers to expand and use their features.
• The people from the company that I've worked with are professional and courteous.

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

• The Auto-Split function is not perfect ... for splitting large searches into smaller jobs.
• Occasionally I encounter something trivial that does not work, but eGrabber Tech Support is very responsive, and they issue a patch, within a day or two of my complaint.

• The documentation on all the available features, but most importantly on the scripting side, can be improved
• The standard look & feel of some basic options, like parameter selection or sorting and filtering, looks dated and can't be customized
• The server portal needs to provide better tools
• More integration is needed with other OpenText products

Only being 1 month in, I will have to wait longer before knowing what kind of ROI and results I will have at the years end.

I am no longer working for the company that was using Actuate but I believe they would continue to use it because the stitching costs would be to high. It would require a complete rewrite of the reports and the never version of Actuate (BIRT) even required an almost complete report rewrite

The software is extremely easy to use and does exactly what it was intended for - effortlessly source contacts in bulk.

It is quite intuitive to use. It is fit specifically for doing sentiment, emotion, and intention analysis as well as text classification and text summarization. I would have given 10 if it is fit for the purpose of doing image processing and analysis as well. There is a huge market to analyze video and image data.

The support team responds super fast and don't quit until the issue is resolved, you can't ask for more!

Always there on the front and backend for us and the client.

It was very easy!

We haven't used LeadFuze, but around the same time that we were originally looking into purchasing LeadGrabber Pro, we also looked into LeadFuze. They also looked like a good service, but they were more expensive and didn't seem to have all the features that LeadGrabber Pro offered.

It is vastly superior to these in many ways, for complex reporting it is a much more sophisticated solution. Visualizations are very good. Javascript extensibility is very powerful, others don't support this or as well. Pentaho and MS are both OLAP oriented. Pentaho is moving more toward big data, which was not our primary focus. Others are stuck in the Crystal Reports Band metaphor.

• We've only been using eGrabber for about a month, so too soon to see an ROI. However, we have set appointments from the cold calls our Sales Dept have made based on the leads I have pulled. I am confident that sales are in our future, in the meantime, we are pleased to be filling our pipeline.

• Actuate can handle 50 to 60 sub reports inside a report very well.
• Dynamically creating the datasource, chart, graph, reports are the main advantages. We can do any level of drilling, and can create a performance matrix dashboard efficiently.
