    I wasn't the decision maker but ever since I've had access to both I've preferred Prospect (tryprospect.com). I only use it in the chrome extension from SalesNav but I love that functionality

    LinkedIn has a similar feature but does not have the same accuracy or mass prospecting features like Prospect.

    Prospect has better data as it is linked to LinkedIn. As users update LI profiles, this is reflected directly in the results generated by Prospect.

    zoominfo has old contact info, a lot of the time i look at specific people and their companies aren't updated. I get intent emailed to me from zoominfo for job changes and it will be 6-12 months after someone changed jobs so the information is just not accurate enough.

    LinkedIn Sales Navigator is hands down the best tool for identifying targeted contacts or leads. You can drill down on a company and look at its entire workforce, or search by the exact title that is your key target. The information is up to date, as people tend to keep their LinkedIn profiles current. In terms of other marketing functions LI Sales Navigator is extremely limited. BUT if you are looking to identify contacts for prospecting purposes, then this tool is what you need.

    Its well suited If you find yourself manually placing contact details in CRMs or you're using multiple tools to find relevant and accurate contact details. Not so relevant if you already sheet of contact details and you can simply import it as a CSV in certain tools

    Pros
    LinkedIn
    • Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
    • Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
    • Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.

    Cons
    LinkedIn
    • Inbox needs work - too much confusion around your LinkedIn inbox and Sales Nav inbox
    • Sorting - need a better, faster way to sort by for prospect lists and account lists
    • Only voluntarily shared information. No cross checking or using API’s like a ZoomInfo

    This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.

    Usability
    LinkedIn
    Overall, it's very user-friendly. It's hard for a tool to make sorting through loads of data easy, but Sales Nav does this very well. Its advanced search features enable us to be selective in finding the right people to talk to and connect with.

    Super easy to use, the only thing I wish they would change is that you always need to check the prospects linkedin page to see if there's been an update to their contact (eg. if contact didnt have a mobile number saved, they may now, so you need to check linkedin every single time before reaching out). Other than that, this is by far the best tool for pulling numbers and emails.

    I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.

    I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.

    LinkedIn Sales Navigator is much more valuable than Dice or Cognism, as we do most of our prospecting on LinkedIn. Therefore, it means we can build lists of our prospects based on activity, connections, and buying intention. With Cognism and Dice, you cannot do this as they do not work alongside the LinkedIn platform and, therefore, lack the functionality that is essential to what we are using the platform for.

    • I prefer using it from the SalesNav page compared to Zoominfo - seems way more up to date
    • Allows me to massively scale my prospecting by keeping me in page and I don't have to look up and cross reference on other tools
    • While it has a smaller set of functionality that I can use it for relative to Zoominfo, the things that it does do I've always felt it did a better job
    • Really simple UI and doesn't prompt me to sign in every day which I appreciate.
