DataFox (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

Can't speak for outside of the sales organization, but it is used for account research and business intelligence by sales development and sales reps. Helps us identify target accounts in the territories that we are working. Business problems it solves are what accounts we are allowed to target, what software they are using today, location of HQ and total employee count.

Great for account research when prospecting and mapping out territories, like that I can run reports based on different criteria (competitor technology, HQ location, employee count of company, etc.) However it doesn't find contacts at those accounts particularly well, need to leverage other technologies to be able to build out targeted accounts to prospect into.

[It's being used] across the organization to gain insight into companies.

DataFox has helped with the divide between our commercial and field teams by giving us accurate insight into the annual revenue of a company, parent companies, and employee number. Also gives us insight into the partner products they are already using!

DataFox is used in the Commercial department and we use it to determinate how big our prospects are.

It is very use-full regarding the insights of companies such as HQ information, Headcount, Revenue, etc...

It addresses the need for knowing some back-round of our prospects and clients

It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

DataFox is being used mainly to get insights about prospects and clients, like determining the annual income of a company and it also includes artificial intelligence to predict tendencies. Helps a lot when prioritizing leads and work around these, helps to know how to approach a client or prospect, it also helps to categorize leads.

DataFox is good for prospecting big companies in North America and developed regions. It does not work very well with other markets, such as Latam. It has barely any information on medium and small companies. It would be a great tool if it would automate learning from other markets and company sizes.

It is used by many of our departments to target other companies and get more loyal customers. It helps to provide very accurate information. Plugins, like Salesforce, enable us to build reports very easily.

If you are prospecting a company and want to understand the technology the other company is using, then it is a very handy application. It helps to target the right users or accounts.

DataFox is being used by our sales team to generate account lists to be prospected. Both BDRs and account managers as well as the sales management team use Datafox. Before Datafox, we were putting together lists of companies to prospect by searching websites for logs of software companies within our customer segments. After we learned about DataFox, all of that changed. Datafox allows you to search for thousands and even tens of thousands of companies based on the industry keywords you desire. You can refine the list by adding more filters like company size, location, recent funding and growth signals, etc. DataFox has given us a wealth of accounts to prospect and generate leads through. I definitely recommend this solution!

I would definitely recommend DataFox to any sales team that wants their prospecting to be improved. If a company has trouble finding companies that fit their customer segments, then DataFox can probably solve that issue. I took 2 points off and gave an 8/10 because of the inaccuracy that is sometimes encountered in the lists generated and in the employee count.

DataFox is implemented across sales and marketing. The main business problems that it was brought in to solve were - expanding our Total addressable market and improve the accuracy of data in our CRM.

DataFox has excellent coverage of companies across all industries. Hence can be effectively used to expand the addressable market. They have a wide variety of data points so you can really filter down into the type of companies you would want to go after. Signal data is a very useful feature of DataFox. It enables our organization to target a company at the right moment with effective messaging. The kind of information provided is very useful for CSM's during the EBR process and could really be used to drive penetration. Account Scoring is an excellent feature which is used to score a company based on your definition of an ICP using data points. This is used to prioritize accounts for allocation as well as targeting by sales.

Datafox is being used for inbound lead-enrichment across our sales, sales development, and marketing org.--globally. Specifically for the mid-market sales team, Datafox provides unique insight into dynamic lists of target accounts for us to leverage during outbound prospecting.

It is particularly good at understanding technographic information--as they have a strategic partnership with HG Data.

Dynamic vs. Static lists are a pain to pivot between and the ability to gather contact data is only possible through the static list function. In scenarios where you require multiple or varying scoring models, Datafox may be the best fit. If you're tackling a specific TAM and need additional layers of geo, firmo, and technographic info--Datafox really does shine.

DataFox is solely being used by the M&A Sourcing team. It greatly helps in the mining effort for unearthing worthwhile companies by keywords and provides details on companies that are generally better than other tools (Owler, Hoover's, etc).

It's a really great tool and just about anyone who has worked in market research for a considerable amount of time would agree with that. It immediately provides foundational background information on a company with insights that enable users to see beyond just the company to the broader landscape that it is a part of. Best Scenario - Large companies with large budgets that need to know what companies can add value/hurt them now. Worst Scenario - Smaller companies using it as a reference tool with essentially no use case aside quick hits on individual companies.
