Distribution Engine ( by NC Squared ) vs. RealZips GeoData Platform

RealZips GeoData Platform is well-suited for Saleforce users and administrators who need to send targeted emails and snail mails and segment reports by a certain geographic area and are frustrated with Salesforce's built-in process for this, which is mostly non-existent. Other marketing platforms may handle this scenario better, but for Salesforce, RealZips is the best option

• The main strength of RealZips GeoData Platform is the ability to query the "Metropolitan Area" field they provide, which is based on the contact's zip code. For example, if you are looking to promote an event to all contacts in the New York City area, this field will automatically show contacts living within several miles of NYC, not just those living in NYC itself.
