Compared to BuiltWith, Datanyze recognizes more software vendors.
I'm given so much information when I pull Datanyze that I normally don't have to waste time on a website figuring out what software a prospect is using.
The breakdown of software vendors with logos is very user-friendly.
Cons
I think that some vendors that have a smaller customer-base are not captured by Datanyze.
I think they're missing out on a lot of non-profit specific software.
The lag in Datanyze and google chrome could be improved. Sometimes I have to pull Datanyze multiple times to receive the information.
Datanyze does a great job of allowing you to not only narrow down on the specific technology stack but also allowing you to cross section this data by location. So you can choose specific users of software in specific areas.
You can create specific targeting criteria lists and save them which allow you to not have to constantly rebuild your targeting metrics.
Pushing data into Salesforce is very easy and allows you to match up your prospecting data with your leads inside of Salesforce.
Cons
Datanyze used to give really good data on specific person level. You could then look up prospects using the Chrome extension inside of LinkedIn. This made prospecting extremely easy and very efficient. Unfortunately, this no longer exists and it is much harder to do without their data.
I have found that sometimes the data inside of datanyze is not always current. When reaching out to companies they will mention that they were just testing a tool, not fully using it.
There are really no other places to push the data from Datanyze except for Salesforce. This makes it tough when using other tools or CRMs.
Like that you can still see lots of information as a free user (good way to entice me ;)
Cons
Wish that there was more clarity in how certain numbers are calculated - for example I didn't really understand where the Market Share number comes from exactly and I couldn't find info when I researched.
