Both Owler & PitchBook are both sales and Business Intelligence application providing latest update and information regards to specifically company and products. Owler provide less details information compared with PitchBook as the latter provide more insights and details. …

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 …
Even though Owler is a great tool but when it comes to pay and use it may not be able to deliver more than its competitors in the market. Owler is used a lot to gather company information but along with other tools as its shortcomings are also known to people. Owler needs to …

Owler is comparable to both Crunchbase and PitchBook when looking to gather information on companies. Owler, however, is superior in areas of providing top competitors and insight into very small companies. I use S&P Capital IQ in tandem with Owler as it augments Owler well and …
If Owler seems lacking in background info, I have to Google search company information on a general level. Contact info can be obtained through ZoomInfo, but revenue info is not. Owler is the site I go to first.
Over the last few months and products updates, I've noticed that Owler, Crunchbase, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and many other platforms are starting to be more and more competitive with each other. I have yet to find a real major differentiation between them. I guess I trust the …
Other platforms like ZoomInfo are fantastic, but they are much pricier than Owler. From a budget standpoint, Owler offers a pretty good bang for your buck.
The only service somewhat similar to Owler that I have used is Sales Navigator. I like Owler better because it provides more information about prospective partners. The two tools are different but have some similarities, so I typically use them both. I think the notifications …
Owler is free and this is its major strength. Other tools I mentioned have much more capabilities and more accurate and powerful data, but as a small business company, we do not need much data at this point. From Owler, we do not get a lot of data, but we get just enough data …
Both Insightly and DiscoverOrg are not like direct alternatives to Owler. We use Owler as it provides lots of information for free and we have been using it for a while and I do not know any other products that provide the same information, so I do not know real direct Owler …
For prospecting, I tend to use Owler and Sales Navigator. Sales Navigator is better on an individual basiI'mbut i'm more focused on getting company wide initiatives and bringing that down to the individual level.
Owler is a free service so its primary direct competitors would be Google Alerts (it has much higher precision and a unified daily alert), and the freemium InsideView which supports three alerts.
I view it as a complement to fully featured subscription sales intelligence …
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.
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
Owler's interface and user experience are streamlined and clean. It's easy to pick up on what the data visualizations are showing and other information provided in the dashboard
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.
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.
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.
