Likelihood to Recommend 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
Read full review Pros 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. RealZips GeoData Platform automatically provides a zip code for contacts who may have that part of their address missing from their contact page. This helps keep the address data clean. RealZips GeoData Platform will help you sort your prospects or leads into geographic areas, helping you schedule in-person meetings while on the road. RealZips GeoData Platform provides a generous non-profit discount. RealZips GeoData Platform only requires the contact to have a zip code to work. The contact does not need a full address.

But once you figure it out, it becomes clearer for future uses. Otherwise, the product functions as intended. Read full review Alternatives Considered RealZips GeoData Platform integrates very well with
Salesforce.com and works seamlessly alongside other apps, such as the Nonprofit Success Pack and
Causeview , which transform Saleforce's data into a non-profit focused layout. Any changes in
Salesforce 's data structure do not seem to impact RealZips effectiveness. Furthermore, it works well as a data-cleaning tool, which increases the potency of all other apps.
