No matter how specialized the integration or how much support for internal services was provided throughout the creation of the solution, Leadspace support was always available and extremely prompt in helping to smooth out any issues that developed during the setup process.

This is a free service, so it should be compared to free and low cost alerting (e.g. Google Alerts) and PE/VC funding profile (e.g. Crunchbase) services. Owler is well suited for competitive intelligence professionals, named account reps, and marketing professionals tracking company news (web mined company mentions and press releases) and social media (blogs, Video, YouTube). The alerts are high precision and tag for three key events (M&A, Funding, Exec Changes). It is the alerting and social media tools which are the key strength of the service. The company claims two million profiles, but only has 60,000 with full address information. Content includes competitors, user polls, and funding / M&A data. Owler should be viewed as a free complement to other online company research tools, but it lacks the depth to replace subscription services. Missing content includes long business descriptions; financials and discrete sizing data; family tree linkage, and executive profiles (only the CEO is covered) While they offer list building functionality, it is quite thin and non-downloadable. As such, I would not recommend Owler for sales and marketing prospecting at this point. A unique feature is a set of company polls about the direction of the company and CEO performance. Unfortunately, the response rates are often too low to be statistically meaningful.

  • Owler enables the user to quickly find the data and information that he or she needs.
  • I appreciate the customizable dashboard where you can set alerts and track companies you select.
  • The latest news regarding the funding rounds of startup companies is especially helpful.
  • The top competitors to companies provided by Owler often give me a great point of reference for my competitive analysis.

Cons
Leadspace
  • In the form selection, if a company name does not exist in the database, the lead can choose "not me" then that actual data value overwrites what they originally put. In the future, if they choose not me to default to the lead entered data value. This is something they know and I'm told they are working on it.

  • The information provided is useful but at times the variation with other websites and tools is substantial which makes it difficult to rely solely on owler
  • Information only about bigger companies is available not for smaller and research on smaller ones are important as there are not many tools that do that
  • There are few companies that appear as defunct or do not exist but in the actual market there is a lot going on with them and being in market intelligence industry owler needs to capture that
  • It would be great if they provide revenue or growth of the in the past three years or so. As it would save our time and efforts to some extent
  • They need to maintain the database in aperiodic manner with precise information

Not really an applicable question as this is a free service, but if they charged $100 / year (GageIn's price) I would still license the service.

I have yet to see the platform down or running slowly, but there have been multiple instances recently (Q2 2015) when the user links to a news story and Owler gives an Oops message. Users simply click on the story a second time and the story is displayed. This is a nuisance bug. I also have a sense that the system is not processing alerts as quickly as before, but I haven't tracked this closely, so I could be wrong about it.

The news precision, which is the most important feature for me, is very accurate. They have editors review the news to ensure it is properly tagged by company and event type.

Focus on setting up companies that have limited news coverage first. Public companies are well covered and it is easy to track them. Furthermore, the surfeit of news around public companies can crowd out smaller companies with less news. It is smaller companies where you are most likely to see a benefit in their tracking of news, blogs, press releases, and videos.

Alternatives Considered

1. This tool and database trumped others because of the flexible way in which they reported the data. 2. The team is helpful in figuring out our needs to give us the information we were looking for. 3. Their Account team is very helpful, responsive & fun to work. 4. It helps us create lookalike profiles and provide us with account and contact data that fit

I believe Lead411 and Owler go hand in hand, rather than one over the other. I believe Lead411's contact generation is far stronger based on the cost, but Owler allows you to broaden your horizon for prospecting whereas Lead411 is more of a user-driven search rather than an platform-driven search.

  • We were able to capture new leads for our sales team and also new subscribers of our e-newsletters through email marketing campaigns. We also noticed an increase in our web traffic (corporate website) after we started using Reachforce.
  • More customers took notice of our digital marketing efforts after we started using Reachforce.

  • The personalisation of emails has definitely helped us to earn a higher reply rate, with the knock-on that this will be helping with future deals.
  • Keeps us very relevant in our conversations with contacts. They are often impressed by the research and knowledge we have on their company and how we have aligned ourselves to help. Again, small differences at the start of calls but this will be helping with the number of opportunities created.
  • Reduces SDR prospecting time. Quick and easy to get updates allowing them to process a great number of accounts on a daily basis.
