VoilaNorbert is great for sales people trying to find email addresses but we use it mainly in a PR capacity. It's best suited in our workflow if you know the site and the person you are reaching out to. In terms of scenarios where it is less appropriate, if you are looking to find related people or related sites to the one you are reaching out to, I haven't explored that functionality.
At the outset of my position with my current company, we used a marketing automation system that was known as a swiss army knife: it could do many things, but none of them well. They had no built in functionality for boosting email deliverability. Digging in to find out what we could do to improve our authority, we learned we needed to clean our lists before sending. ZeroBounce does everything we need it to, and at a reasonable price. What more could you want?
Bulk List validation up to 25 IDs per action is useful in some situations, as we don't want to create a CSV file every time, and for this smaller number.
We sometimes use the email Finder option when we can't find an email for a person on any other platform.
Navigating among bulk validation, CSV upload, and single-ID validation is hard, and sometimes finding them or switching between them can be made more user-friendly.
Results: After bulk validation, we receive the results in a Zip file, which is useful sometimes but not every time, as we have to un-zip, and there will be a different CSV file for each result. The final results can be made simple, like email ID in column A, results (valid or Invalid) in column B.
For the large suite of services that they offer their system is pretty easy to understand and navigate. ZeroBonce is also NOT one of those services that is constantly tweaking their UI and making it hard to find tasks that you regularly use. More complex tasks can be more challenging but that's understandable. They also have an extensive restful API that if technical enough allow you to automate some of your most used tasks. They stand behind their product with good documentation as well as high quality customer service.
We have used ZeroBounce for about 18 months and it works flawlessly. We are able to get all of our questions/issues answered immediately. Felt very comfortable with the product immediately - used their web site which walked us through it and were able to get up and running within minutes. I really haven't had any issues that required support.
It is more reliable than 80% of the other apps available in the market in terms of generating email address. Some tools like snov.io and others which were not available to on search bar are used for the same, but their result quality is very poor. Even the paid version of such tools are not reliable.
We considered AtData since it was recommended by a colleague who has used it in the past. We ultimately ended up going with ZeroBounce based on the cost and documentation/resources available. Email validation tools are probably very similar, but ZeroBounce seemed the simplest for us, and we needed to implement one fast, so activation time was very quick.
