    RainKing is less appropriate when you don't have the funds or resources to pay for it. You could easily Google the information that you're looking for, or use CrunchBase, but it's extremely time-consuming. RainKing makes this very easy and the data seamlessly sends to Salesforce with the proper integration. RainKing is very appropriate when you have a large team of folks that need to source leads/accounts simultaneously and need licenses to do so - it's worth the money with a larger team.

    SugarCRM
    It is a fantastic and very useful application. It has many customization options, but it does not have the power that a giant company requires.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
    • The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
    • Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
    • I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Account manager - really unresponsive, not interested in helping with renewal, making the case to our execs
    • The Discover/RainKing team was not interested in helping us expand the way we are utilizing the tool, provide additional training, etc
    • Contacts department designation lacks in accuracy, we frequently found significant mismatches

    SugarCRM
    • The payment plan that Collabspot provides does not have many advantages over the free plan.
    • The scores do not reflect the true assessment towards clients and candidates.
    • Mail templates have an outdated design.

    I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more powerful to use.

    SugarCRM
    Very similar. Two different layouts for two totally different systems. Collabspot/Sugar is my primary system, but when I was an SDR, I used HubSpot for prospecting primarily because of email automation. Now that I'm a Territory Manager, I don't use HubSpot much anymore as my time is filled up with partners and clients--I do less "hunting" these days than I did as an SDR. Our company uses SugarCRM and Collabspot is integrated so I use Collabspot almost exclusively now. Right tool for the right job, I guess.

    • I don't have that information readily available to quantify the positive impact. However, I will say that I've found a lot of good prospects via RainKing to target my outreach efforts to. I definitely feel like the product pays for itself.

    • The staff that enters is of guaranteed quality.
    • Customers can respond to our requests quickly.
    • The staff of the administration is much more committed to their work.
