LeanData vs. ZoomInfo Operations

I am overall satisfied with how LeanData has been helping the business as it really revolutionized the way we process our leads/contacts and have them assigned and actionable by our sales reps. It takes away the once repetitive and tedious tasks that are done manually which really introduces a lot of error and consumes a lot of time and effort. LeanData seamlessly does that job for you on your behalf. Definitely recommend

We used to suffer with the leakage of leads and with duplicate entries, just like how I mentioned earlier. After implementing it, our data hygiene has improved by a huge quantity. Our team has become more efficient in terms of reaching out to the prospect within minutes of showing interest in our SAAS security products and services, instead of spending time on data entry in the Excel sheets and then working on the lead. It has reduced our manual research time by almost 36 %, allowing the team to focus on revenue generation rather than Sales operations.

• LeanData's UX is top notch. I love how intuitive the FlowBuilder is, and how it helps visualize a process. I don't need to use another tool to map out the flow, and then build it again in LeanData. I also love the testing feature.
• LeanData support is amazing. So communicative, and helpful. They were so helpful during onboarding, and continue to be a great resource as we optimize.
• Territory management/Routing/user scheduling is super easy in LeanData. Far more robust than other solutions out there.

• EverString allows us to build account lists based off in-depth firmographic or technographic data. It's far more accurate than trying to build these lists any other way.
• EverString is fast. Where it might've previously taken us weeks to build lists of this quality, we now can build them in a matter of minutes (and have them ready to be published in a couple of hours).

• Reporting Functionality. Great log information about what happened to individual leads, but the dashboarding in the product could be more robust.
• Territory Rules. The product does not take advantage of existing territory logic that you may have in Salesforce.com. You need to "re-build" territory ownership in the product. Not necessarily a con as this can functionally replace much of what's in SFDC.

• Lower pricing tier, some other zoom products have freemium versions which would be nice
• Faster import/export time for data, depending on the size of the data, it may take close to more than a few minutes.
• Merging data does not always report 100% of data merged.

It has become instrumental in our organization

I give this rating because I feel that ZoomInfo Operations has made our work easier and smoother than before. Like now we manage our sales leads, new engagements, easily, and the data we get from ZoomInfo Operations helps us a lot to move in the right direction. our customer success rate is higher than before after implementing it.

Once you have a graph set up, it can largely be left to its own devices. The process of setting up the initial graph is long and involved; however, the result speaks for itself. With continued learning, it will always remain usable and scalable to accommodate further changes down the road.

List uploads for enhancements and the fact that RingLead is powerful and useful make my life as an analyst super easy. I can upload files in bulk and know that everything is mapping correctly without manually going line by line.

I have been using ZoomInfo on and off since 2018, and I have NEVER had the site go down on me once. I'm not sure how they do it, I'm not a software engineer, but they have 100% up time compared to other software as a service. Our CRM has already gone down a couple times this year, but not ZoomInfo.

I would rate its performance 9. I do not doubt its performance, the pages load quickly withour laging or error. It gives a report within the time frame without errors, no matter how complex the report is. We integrated it with our CRM; at first, it tended to slow a little, but later it was fixed and ran smoothly.

There is no way I would have such a successful implementation of this product without the implementation and support team. They have been patient, helpful, and very responsive. Even after I had gone live and had been so for a while, our org and thus our criteria had changed. They continued to help me make the necessary tweaks to ensure I was up and running.

I give this rating because I never feel they deserve less than it. Their commitment towards the customer is outstanding, whenever I need to reach out to the supprot, I feel like I am just talking to a person who is sitting beside me. They respond quickly and solve the problems easily, even guiding us on how not to get into the same problem again and again, so we can avoid going back to support.

I gave 10 cause , We took an training from their dedicated ZoomInfo university with quick support and valid certifications.

Have a plan on how you're going to evaluate. We had a two-month trial period, but a six-month average lead cycle time, making it impossible to evaluate on a purely new-business ROI basis within the trial. We applied the model to our prior data, which demonstrated how much time and effort was devoted to accounts that weren't going to close

They both have their own ways of doing what LeanData does, but having our Lean data built inside Salesforce gives us an edge: we don't have to manage an integration between the 2 tools, since they are already inside our instance. It does what other tools do, but inside our CRM

These other systems aren't in the same category as ZoomInfo Operations - I've not been motivated to look at any competitors of Ringlead / ZoomInfo Operations because I have always been very happy with what we get out of this platform. It was one of the first platforms I asked to have added to our tech stack when I joined this company.

It can be scalable, and I've seen it at organizations that made it scalable, and organizations that did not. It really depends how well it integrates with your CRM (does great with Salesforce, for example). If a company doesn't take it serious, it will never scale unless you have decision makers and C-Suite pushing for it.

• We had a rough initial roll-out which negatively affected confidence in LeanData for some on the organization. We have since implemented a re-launch. This second launch went very well, but we still face in internal battle to re-gain confidence in the solution. Overall, it is working very well now.
• We have seen an accelerated lead response time as we can get leads into the hands of reps faster. We can now create hundreds of opportunities and assign them to reps in approximately one hour. Extremely scalable. We can create 100 opportunities in the same amount of time it takes to create 1.
• Automating previously manual processes has helped us take a headcount and assign that person other responsibilities as they are not spending as much time manually processing leads.

• EverString helps us zero in on the accounts most likely to convert, so we're not wasting time
• With better prioritization, our team can get to the right people faster, speeding up sales cycles
• We are seeing a stronger pipeline and more booked meetings from our BDR team
