If your organization is looking to find insights on the mobile app space and you are interested in seeing the technologies that are installed in apps, Mixrank is right for you. They have the ability to target by category, downloads, SDKs. and much more. Mixrank seems to be 100% mobile focused, so if your organization is looking for web analytics, Mixrank wont suffice
PersistIQ is well suited for outbound marketing. It's great for setting up sales and marketing campaigns to new and prospective clients. The fact that PersistIQ emails are basic (they look like normal personal emails) and easy to personalize, makes the whole process feel more genuine than, say, MailChimp. PersistIQ won't replace a bulk emailing tool or CRM. It serves a different purpose than, for example, Marketo or MailChimp, two products we also use
Overall it is a decent product, each platform has their own strengths and weaknesses. Mixrank is good at pulling reports, easy to use UI, pretty good coverage in terms of prospecting. Additionally, they are based in SF which is not too far from our office so it makes it easy to contact them and meet with them
We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back to manual emailing and Linkedin connecting.
