Best in class for account data
InsideView is currently being used company-wide to help with data insights & triggers. We use InsideView to find reasons to reach out to companies and to better understand what is going on within the organization. Additionally, I'll often use InsideView to understand the company's hierarchy, alongside better understanding the industry challenges.
- Industry Challenges: A succinct list of challenges & factors within the industry.
- Company News: An aggregate of relevant news within the company.
- Company Hierarchy: Understanding which sub-accounts are owned.
- Company Financials: Total revenue.
- Contact Info: Updated direct mobile numbers.
- Search Filters: Filtering ("Agents") could be more accurate to remove irrelevant info.
- Non-Financial News: Adding additional company news (non-finance related).
We use Inside View for many purposes. Prospecting, ability to follow customers for new locations, prospective clients for news and trigger events, finding contact information and my favorite the Family Tree function. This function has opened the door to a ton of opportunities within groups we already do business with. Great way to create a warm call!
- Up-to-date news on most companies.
- Robust list of contacts within companies.
- Fast search function.
- Sometimes the bandwidth can be laggy.
- Scrolling through the family tree function is very slow.

InsideView is a viable replacement for Hoovers
InsideView was used to identify prospects within particular geographies we were trying to infiltrate on the East Coast of the United States. It was also used to gain insight into companies as we got deeper into discussions with those businesses. So, the primary use was for sales intelligence and prospecting.
- Easy to use platform that is generally intuitive for even the least tech savvy user.
- Good coverage of email addresses for individuals within and organization.
- Plenty of search criteria to manage you list creation.
- The search criteria for lines of business are hard to pick. A toggle type choice would be easier but I believe that is in the works for an improvement.
- There should be a metro area option for geography.
My company used to invest a lot of time into prospecting via Sales Navigator on LinkedIn, which required a great deal of back and forth between LinkedIn and Salesforce. I spent countless amounts of time researching and referencing information from LinkedIn and inputting information into Salesforce for leads. Once we set InsideView up, I had a nice little widget on every account in Salesforce that would give me all the information I needed during prospecting. Became so efficient that it helped me hit my goals and influenced my growth on the sales team.
- Condensing information into one quick widget view in Salesforce.
- Saves time that would have been spent clicking back and forth between LinkedIn and Salesforce.
- Pulls information about prospects and companies that could have been difficult or tedious to find using more manual means of research.
- Sometime IV could cause Salesforce to take a bit to load or would reload after scrolling to the bottom, but that could have been a Salesforce issue.
- Information could sometimes be dated or inaccurate, but those instances were few and far between.
- The widget was pretty large and provided some information I never used. Would have been nice to personally customize my view but, again, that could have been something controlled by our Salesforce admin.

InsideView is a great tool to have on your side!
InsideView is used within our commercial sales and marketing department for customer insights, contact info, and lead creation through its integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365. The integration into Dynamics is flawless and a huge value added to our organization to help in lead creation/time management. It simply transitions all pertinent info of the lead into the CRM.
- InsideView's company search tool is fantastic. Within a few keystrokes, you gain access to company financials, org charts, size, recent news, etc. Any information you could want to find about a company is right at your fingertips.
- InsideView's integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM is perfect. Its lead autofill function makes creating a lead much faster.
- InsideView's watchlist feature is fantastic for keeping up on recent news of companies you are interested in watching.
- Sometimes the contact information seems to be out of date or an incorrectly formatted email style.

Research software that expedites research
InsideView is being used by sales teams within my organization to conduct research on our customers and potential customers. The news feed allows us to track specific companies or verticals that we are targeting, and allows our team to connect with these organizations more rapidly. Our sales teams have been utilizing this system for the last few months, and it has allowed us to hunt for new business and customers much more efficiently. InsideView has also allowed us to track industry trends more accurately.
- The sales and support teams at InsideView are top-notch. I have worked with them extensively to fix bugs and to expand my knowledge of InsideView.
- Information is accurate and up to date. InsideView also allows users to report incorrect information.
- InsideView goes out of their way to ensure that organizations using the system have the necessary training. They will also target power users to see where improvements can be made.
- The LinkedIn connection utilization is difficult and not easy to use.
- Watchlists within InsideView are limited. It would be nice to be able to create more in-depth watchlists to track customer news feeds.
- Using InsideView as an add-in for Microsoft Dynamics is clunky, and does not function as smoothly as InsideView does from its stand-alone website.
InsideView is being used in our organization mostly because of the integration with Salesforce. We use it so we can create a list of targeted companies to check info on. Like let's suppose we went to an event and a company shows interest in our solutions, the first place we go to look at the size of the company is InsideView. It solves having the company info in one place because of the integration with Salesforce.
- Extract contacts of people who work there, that way you can have an opener to the organization but have a clear look at other departments that you're interested in.
- Extract the revenue and size of the company.
- The integration with Salesforce is really useful, that way you have a full map of the company in one place.
- Family Tree, it should be up to date and may look for different markets in Latin America is not as accurate as in the American Market.
- Social Insights should tell you what tools they use for social media, and if they are running ads or have something big in social.
InsideView is being used in the sales department at PowerPlan for many reasons, but mostly for prospecting. As a business development rep, it is my job to find new prospects throughout the world to interact with. InsideView is my main tool for finding legitimate prospects and so far the information that it has provided has been impressive.
- Accurate information
- Attractive and easy user interface
- Variety of tools to use within the platform
- Contact info is sometimes off
- "People" tab can have old information
- International presence could improve
It is being used by multiple departments in the organization, mostly by marketing and sales. InsideView has made it much easier to summarize information about a company, upload information to my CRM - Salesforce, find contact email addresses, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles. I like that I can search for people by title but I am not redirected away from the page I am looking at. It can be irritating when you are searching for info and a site keeps bringing you to a whole new page; InsideView's layout does not do that. I know there is so much more I will be using it for in the future!
- I like the layout of InsideView, it is easy to navigate and use which is important to me.
- We have an amazing and attentive CSM that goes above and beyond in our phone calls. He showed me how to connect with prospects using my current LinkedIn connections, build and save lists, watch out for company news using keywords, search for information about competitors, and so much more!
- The consolidation of company information on InsideView and ability to track current news and information is very helpful and easy to customize!
- More contact information for international companies.
Our sales team uses InsideView to research new incoming leads and prepare for initial sales calls. Our Marketing team uses the List Build service to help identify new prospect organizations and contacts as we expand into new metropolitan areas and markets. InsideView saves both teams time and helps us create awareness for our services much quicker than other services that we used in the past.
- Family Tree is a great tool to help our salespeople understand the sales effort it will take to obtain final approval.
- Contacts and Job Title lets our reps know if they are selling high enough in the organization to address the needs of all decision-makers
- Watchlists gives our reps a heads up on news that may heighten our prospects interest in our solution.
- Integration with LinkedIn connections could be smoother.

InsideView is my go to tool for sales success
As Regional Director of National Accounts with Adecco, InsideView is a vital tool to achieve my long-term and short-term goals as a sales professional. As a part of my strategic plan, I lean on InsideView to create my key target accounts, utilizing the Build a List feature. By giving me the tools I need to investigate companies upfront, I ensure that my research is conducted in the most efficient and effective manner possible. In my daily routine, I utilize InsideView with my CRM integration.

InsideView is one of the sharpest tools in my toolbox.
- Build a List feature.
- CRM Integration.
- I also utilize InsideView to cross reference contact information from other social media accounts. This process allows for accuracy.
- Sometimes in rare instances, the contact information can be out of date because contacts are always shifting companies and roles.
- I have to shift out of my CRM to InsideView's website to create lists, but this is a very minor issue.

Some of the employees within our company are starting to use InsideView as well and I haven't heard anything negative so far!

- A very user-friendly sales tool.
- Great customer service.

It is indeed very useful.
The best thing which I like the most being a Quality Analyst for salespeople is the company information displayed with all the details of employees. Data research has been so easy and there are a lot more which I haven't explored yet.
- Time Saver
- Accurate Data
- Improved our Sales Rate
- Problems? None that I can think of at the moment.
I am in business development and I try to find organizations that would fit well into our portfolio of clients. This helps me with sizing up a company and getting contact names. I believe some of the other departments are using inside view also, but outside of business development, I am not sure for what.
- Names of employees in prospect companies.
- Estimating revenue and employee count.
- Market share of company in specific industry.
- Sometimes out of date information.
- Better filtering system for looking up certain departments within large companies and getting everyone names.
- Personally, not a fan of the color scheme. (unimportant).

InsideView Increases Work Productivity
InsideView is being used as a tool across the whole organization. With my company being in such a specific niche in the market, InsideView really helps narrow down potential sale leads. It also saves time finding key contacts and takes out the hassle of finding contact information on company websites. Also, it helps eliminate the inconvenience of manually entering all the data into my CRM.
- Data integration.
- Industry search feature.
- View LinkedIn profile hyperlink: eliminates spending time searching on LinkedIn.
- Need to upgrade to pro to use a lot of the features like viewing contact info.
InsideView supplies a great database for leads. It helps you connect with the right person and is used by my sales agent. I also appreciate the updates InsideView has of companies which includes the latest news. Since I am in the logistics business, the industry tab this site has is exceptionally useful which offers information on suppliers.
- Provide company insights.
- Connects you to the most relevant person.
- Easy to search people.
- Needs to be updated.
- More features to be used freely.

Very happy with our investment in InsideView
InsideView is currently being used across the organization at Cheshire Impact. We use the marketing functions to validate and clean our data and the sales functions to enrich and prospect. My main usage of the platform is to enrich the data on the clients/prospects we have so we can ensure that our segmentation practices are the most optimal. Always looking for that personalization opportunity with every message/phone call my team engages on.
- Data Quality: The data that I've leveraged is by far better than other providers I've used in the past. Even looking at our own company, when the data changed the adjustments were made in InsideView.
- Ease of Use: Very easy to search for specific technologies, industries, & SIC codes
- Clean: We get a lot of form fills that might have some incorrect data and InsideView is able to compare the data that we have and the data that they have for the most accurate output. Being able to do this on scale has been a huge time saver.
- I currently don't have any CONS to report on my experience with InsideView.
- I understand this is going to look biased since I don't have complaints but I really haven't experienced anything that I'm unhappy with in the year that we've been a customer.
I use InsideView to search for new accounts and to determine key information regarding specific companies such as revenue, employee size, industry, and company hierarchy.
- Easy to use.
- Information on a lot of companies.
- Good user-interface.
- Separates accounts by industry effectively.
- Revenue information not always up to date.
- Inconsistent company hierarchy at times.
- Have to refresh too often when building account lists.

Great for specifically targeting the right customer
InsideView is being used across our entire Business Development team and is linked to our Salesforce application.
- With InsideView, it is easy to look for the appropriate people within a company to target our outreach specifically where relevant.
- We can sign up for news relative to a specific company or topic that could trigger a need for our business.
- I can find contact information such as email or phone numbers to utilize and add directly into Salesforce with a single click.
- The biggest problem I have is with content being out of date. People move!

InsideView- Sales, Sales , Sales!
InsideView is integrated with our software and is used company-wide for lead generation. It provides accurate and detailed information for company details, decision makers and direct contact information.
There are user-friendly features that I love. I often make my sales calls from a list that I was able to create based on industry and location. Super useful, detailed and very easy to navigate.
It is highly comparable to other lead generating wesbites but provides more intel, insight and current information. The additional perk of it being integrated with Salesforce makes it so easy to export information and keep our company's database up to date.

My life is that much easier now
We use Microsoft Dynamics and InsideView is a great add-in tool that we use to take our leads to the next level. I use this to find contacts and "inside" details about the companies that I am working with. I think it is a really great way to save a lot of time during the sales process.
- Contact information.
- Company insights.
- Ease of use.
- I don't think it has any glaring faults.
