Factors was VERY glitchy but worked so much better for tracking account engagement across web and LinkedIn. It was not useful for account identification or intent signals though. I would say Common Room is a cleaner tool. Factors tried to do too much and often fell short as a …

Usability
Once everything is set up Common Room is very easy to use and see different filters and plays. The usability has never been an issue because there is so much information with prospects, it feels like it will never run dry. Once plays are set up and running, getting the data into Hubspot is very easy.
