Owler - A Useful "Win-More" Prospecting Tool
Owler is a great tool for prospecting. In multiple roles where I've used their platform I've been able to expand my prospecting base by approaching businesses across an entire vertical that share a similar space with either a prospect I've landed, or a prospect that I received a "no" from.

My views on owler
Owler is being extensively within my department along with other tools for company research. It is very helpful as it gives a lot of information about a company. It can be a very useful tool if one knows how to utilize it. We fetch the revenue, headcount, competitors and latest news about the company from Owler.

Owler Review
We use this to get some background information on competitors we hear about. It's not something we use on a daily basis but more as the need comes up

Signed up for Owler for market research. I am a commercial insurance broker in Las Vegas, focused on risk management for general contractors and specialty trade construction. My ideal client has roughly 20-200 employees, and $2-15 million in revenue annually.
Owler did not address any problems. Upon searching for 10 mid-sized companies that I am already familiar with as a test, all 10 had "incomplete profiles." As well, those with "estimated employee and revenue totals" were wildly inaccurate.
For example, 2 mid-to large companies that I am in touch with with employee counts of 100-250 are left blank in Owler. I am also in talks with a business owner who has 130 employees, but it is listed on Owler as 34 employees.

Owler is great for research on small, private companies.
Owler is a resource being used across my organization, primarily by those conducting due diligence processes for potential investments. Owler helps to address the information deficit that can sometimes arise when diligencing small companies. Owler, however, is valuable to use in my organization's researching process for all types of companies, large and small, across a variety of industries.

Annual Revenue determines Sales Prospects
I use it to determine annual revenue for prospect companies - it seems to be lacking when it comes to private companies, however.

Owler gives you the insight you crave
Owler is used to provide sales intelligence into the prospect we are about to contact. This enables us to learn more about their personality and determine their best needs and ways to communicate. Some of the sales department use it, and it gives additional insight before a conversation begins with a prospect.

Fantastic tool to stay up to date on company and industry news!
We use Owler on our Sales and Marketing teams to keep tabs on our named accounts and industry news. It is a great "dynamic" rss feed that doesn't require a great deal of manual work, and the manual work that it does require is pretty simple and light. Great to help us stay up to date on industry news and arms us with good background info for sales/marketing outreach.

Owler - Crunchbase on steroids.
Owler is used by my sales team in order to add a level of personalisation that would take much longer if done manually.
My team has refined their own list of "best accounts" that they feel is a great fit for our company. They then simply add these companies to their Owler accounts and if something changes within the company, for example, a new project launched or new funding, the morning Owler email will alert them to this and allow them to personalise their outreach from there.

Great sales account blueprinting tool
Owler is used as a blueprinting tool in the sales department to gather information about a company before a meeting. It's really useful for things like following news about a company, seeing if there have been any leadership changes,and finding out about recent funding. Also great for info on a company's primary competitors, revenue, etc.

Insights you need
I use Owler to gain insights on competitors and leads. I receive regular updates with information on the companies I am following. It's been an extremely useful tool to stay one step ahead of my prospects and competitors. It takes the work out of researching companies that I need to follow regularly.

Free and insightful crowdsourcing platform
Within our organization, Owler is used by teams and individuals. Mostly by the marketing team, but also by individuals in different positions. Because Owler gives interesting and useful information about latest news in the industry, updates about competitors and their products and some other more specific information such as CEOs' ratings, the tool has something interesting to share with any person, no matter what position she or he holds.

Platform to know more about your market
Owler gives some valuable information about an industry, competitors, clients, partners, buyers etc. It also allows you to make a comparative analysis and track other companies you're interested in. The information is very useful for marketing and sales professionals, so Owler is mostly used by our marketing and sales departments.

Owler Review
I work on the business development team, so finding context from Owler helps get in the door with companies by being able to relate.
When looking for tools to help my company research competitors, we tried out Owler. If it was successful, my company was hoping to branch out and use Owler for client competitor research, as well.
Owler provides daily email alerts of companies I track as part of my consulting business. The system also provides an easy way of tracking broader information around companies including blogs, video posts, press releases, and three sales trigger categories (fundings, exec changes, and M&A). In early 2015, they rolled out special alerts for Funding, Exec Changes, and M&A events. They also just launched a set of 12 competitive comparison reports that are sent on a staggered basis quarterly (they were just announced these reports so they are not part of this review).
