D&B Hoovers Review!

challenges and opportunities that I seek to address with D&B Hoovers are mostly present with the opportunities that the application and service provides. It provides the ability to generate more opportunities especially when working in a sales environment. D&B is a tool I use during daily business days and I am in Sales.
  • Find Contacts
  • Research Industries
  • Analyze Markets
  • Update Contacts
  • Ensure Company information is up to date
  • Feature showcasing company changes and headlines
D&B Hoovers is a great tool with seamless integration to company CRM tools which allows for better access of the services the product has to offer. It's well suited for sales and any type of sales scenario from the beginning of an opportunity towards the end.

D&B Hoovers is an excellent source for us to identify key decision makers for our internal use, and for our clients. The information is easy to access, and the quality of the data is as good as it gets for compiled data. I like being able to identify and search for companies by sector and geography, in addition to by role, seniority, and position.
  • Comprehensive Data
  • Clear segmentation of verticals
  • Accurate company information
  • I would like to see verified emails
  • There's room to improve the industry classification
  • There should be a way to reduce the cost for more usage
If you're looking for a comprehensive data set that is extremely accurate on company details, D&B shines. The larger the company or type of company that you're looking for, the better the D&B data is. It's very good at identifying who the key players, and decision makers are. It also excels at identifying the headcount of specific types of companies, and if they have locations domestically and/or internationally, where those locations are located.

Hoovers worked well for our purposes on lead generation and backfilling information about client companies.
  • Integrates with Salesforce.
  • Contains most needed information.
  • Has good information breadth.
  • Automation can be lacking.
  • Documentation not always clear.
  • Sometimes Salesforce integrations not always clear.
It is well suited to get more detailed information about some opportunities in Salesforce. An area that would have been a big win for my organization's needs is finding ways to better automate the integration of company demographics for very large lists of additional companies and opportunities. The automation part stands to be improved, at least for my organisation's use case.

One consistent challenge I have has been working with the assigned representatives that have been assigned to my company's account. In my experience, they have not been reliable and I have to always make a huge effort to get information conveyed to me. The software itself is fine, but it's not intuitive to report information that needs to be updated. For example, sometimes websites that do not work are accounts pages. It is not clear where to report it, and once it was found, no one followed up about the issue being resolved.
  • The date base is easy to navigate.
  • I have been able to find information on most companies.
  • I like the option to be notified by email of any changes to a company that I save.
  • Better and clear communication for the tech. dept
  • Better and clear communication from the Hoover reps for customer accounts.
Please see my responses previously stated on my feedback on the previous page.

Through using Hoovers, my team attempt(ed) to address concerns in finding correct contacts, fit companies, and other important information to develop our pipeline. The program is used across the company, but particularly by me; marketing uses it to call from, analysts use it to compile lists, and management uses it to prepare for calls.
  • Comprehensive Set of Listings
  • Relevant Information
  • Multiple Ways to Search
  • Outdated Company Information
  • Outdated Company Ownership
  • Defunct Companies
When searching by SIC code, Hoovers is very useful when discovering new companies. You can search for companies by the code or industry, whether you start from the company page and built out from similar companies or are starting a fresh search. The breadth that one can obtain searchable and quantifiable lists is impressive.

The biggest challenge D&B Hoovers helps me overcome is where our CRM is lacking in contact information. I can easily find names, positions, emails, and direct phone numbers. This has been integrated into our CRM so accessing additional information is quick and easy and I can even send the contact details directly to the CRM saving plenty of time.
  • Quick snapshot of company size
  • Quick snapshot of contact information
  • Organizing companies within industries and including revenue sizes
  • The recent change in appearance leaves some info, such as that in the UCC filing field out of sight.
  • Revenue sizes are sometimes off by several million dollars but things are updated frequently
  • I run into cookie browser issues where I have to clear all of my cookies to access information in my CRM - may not be related to D&B
I would recommend this product to anyone in the Business To Business sales industry because vital information on who to contact and how to contact them is contained and updated frequently. This is extremely helpful when integrated into a platform such as Salesforce. I would recommend finding a CRM with that capability if you don't have one already as this is an important factor in ensuring the right contacts are in the system and that new contacts are added as they become available.

I really like the ability to quickly find a phone number, website url, or email syntax for an account that I am prospecting for. Also, as you start typing to search for a company, it begins to auto-populate with possible accounts you are looking for and provides the headquarters location in the preview results so I know for a fact that I am selecting the right account that I should be looking into.
  • Find updated contacts.
  • List companies easily when typing them or adding them in.
  • Companies that have merged are listed without current information.
  • Updated addresses.
  • Employee turnover needs to update sooner.
Hoover's is a good tool if you are looking for basic information on companies. For larger companies with public reporting Hoover's is a great source for information. I think almost every company with a sales/business development force has used Hoover's in the past.
