Used across the sales, sales dev, and marketing ends of NVM. Helps us find contact info for people we need to reach but otherwise couldn't. Things like emails and phone numbers (both direct and HQ phones) allow us to reach VIPs in various companies who are important for us to reach. Very happy with ZoomInfo.
  • Getting phone numbers with a high accuracy rate
  • Getting emails with a high accuracy rate
  • Allowing us to sift through companies for people with titles we're looking for
  • Occasionally people have left company (but not such a high rate)
  • Sometimes phone numbers are off
  • Login is extremely annoying
As I've stated in previous pages, ZoomInfo is really strong when it comes to providing us with the ability to reach contacts across various channels at different companies that would otherwise be pretty much impossible to reach. From a sales (and especially sales development) perspective, this is very helpful and appropriate. I suppose it would be inappropriate for teams not needing to reach contacts at various companies (so, for example, tech developers and so on).

At my company we use ZoomInfo in our sales department. It provided valuable information on potential companies as well as a way to find different contacts in order to reach the person.
  • Provides background information on organizations. This helped me to get a quick understanding of potential accounts prior to reaching out.
  • Provides an easy solution for getting information on new leads into Salesforce. This saved me time from creating new leads.
  • Provides information on a network of individuals to target your outreach.
  • When they upgraded, the transition could have been smoother. I found that I switched back and forth a lot.
  • At times I came across outdated information.
ZoomInfo is well suited for sales positions that are looking for quick leads and trying to do basic profiling. It would be less useful for someone trying to build a detailed portfolio/profile on a company/individual.

If you need phone numbers, there are two good options. The other option is 50% more cost. I've gotten direct numbers to many contacts that I wouldn't otherwise be able to reach. Often I've found my information out of date and ZoomInfo has accurate information. This is by far the most accurate of any phone and email database available. It's also much larger in scope than any other database I've tried.

I think the best use of ZoomInfo is to find out email addresses and phone numbers for prospects that are not listed already in Salesforce. The worst time to use ZoomInfo is if you are looking to submit a direct mailer to the prospect and are looking for a specific address of where they work. There usually is only a state or city listed for each prospect.

Our marketing and sales teams use ZoomInfo to better understand our current customers and prospects by seeing the make-up of those companies, as well as the best way to contact them. ZoomInfo also provides detailed company overviews that is useful for our contacts research and preparation for intro and discovery calls.
  • ZoomInfo allows users to search by people, companies, job titles, functions, seniority level, and more
  • ZoomInfo also provides 30-minute training for salespeople and recruiters to better use the tools available on the platform
  • ZoomInfo also allows users to build lists while researching and then exporting them
  • ZoomInfo integrates well into SFDC (right onto lead/contact records) with the ability to update the record with information from ZoomInfo, however, there does not seem to be a way to Copy + Paste the information that appears in the SFDC integrated screen
  • ZoomInfo contacts are often outdated; they lag behind when someone has left a company
  • ZoomInfo often provides Company/HQ phone lines (which are already easily accessible via-Google search) that cannot get the caller anywhere near the intended contact; this is common
ZoomInfo is well suited for doing contact research at an account where you only have 1-2 existing points of contact and want to better understand the organization of the company and other stakeholders that you may want to connect with. ZoomInfo is less appropriate for finding the most up-to-date and in-depth descriptions of current employees.

Our Marketing, Business Development, and Client Relations teams all use ZoomInfo for Account and Contact information. This includes enriching existing account and contact information as well as acquiring new data. The sidebar plugin is handy for ad hoc inquiries, typically used by Business Development and Client Relations. The ZoomInfo platform search and enrich tools are used primarily by our Marketing teams.
  • The ZoomInfo Salesforce integration is very user-friendly, especially the "update all" functionality.
  • The ZoomInfo chrome plugin ReachOut is another convenient and user-friendly. Speed and convenience are prerequisites in the fast-paced sales world.
  • ZoomInfo provides a value effective global Account and Contact solution. We use this platform in dozens of countries on five continents and get good information without breaking the bank.
  • I get a number of questions asking if there is any way we can prevent ZoomInfo from logging out of the Salesforce integration. if there was an SSO solution that could tie in with Azure login it would be very helpful.
  • Some of our associates in the APAC region feel the ZoomInfo Contact data is often lacking completeness and is sometimes out of date.
ZoomInfo is a value effective solution, well suited for teams that require both a convenient and specific Account and Contact data resource at their fingertips, as well as the heavy-lifting platform capabilities needed when larger campaigns are being formulated.

ZoomInfo data is accurate and abundant. We use ZoomInfo to search for new accounts and leads. The program allows us to narrow down to our exact target accounts by size, state, revenue, and more. We are able to search for specific prospects by name and company. ZoomInfo provides us with the most direct lines and emails.
  • ZoomInfo has a great workflow with Outreach and Salesforce.
  • Most data ZoomInfo has is accurate.
  • ZoomInfo has a large database with just about every industry.
  • ZoomInfo customer service is great.
  • The data credits are inefficient when trying to reach out to mass amounts of prospects.
  • The cost of the program can be very steep.
  • There is room for improvement on some of the search tools.
ZoomInfo is great if you don't know your target prospects or accounts. It has a large range of accurate data that allows you to explore your exact targets. I'd say just about any company would benefit from ZoomInfo. Overall it's a great product and one of the best in the industry.

It is being used by Sales only. No other department uses ZoomInfo currently at Metricly. In Sales, we use it to find the correct emails. We also use it to find direct lines to specific contacts within companies. It is used all day/every day when sourcing companies. Some people in Sales also use it to find the percentage of the company in engineering, etc.
  • Finding a prospect's email
  • Finding direct lines to prospects
  • Finding percentages of each department within a company
  • Sometimes outdated information
  • Does not have email verification on it. Currently, use a 3rd party free tool
  • Takes 6-12 months to add new employees to companies
ZoomInfo is well suited when looking for prospects' information. At times company email schemes can be difficult to guess or find out. It does a great job here. ZoomInfo is also the best place for direct lines and extensions that I have seen.

ZoomInfo is not the best place to find new employees who were hired within the last 6-12 months.

Our entire sales department, from the BDRs to the Account Managers, is using ZoomInfo to prospect accounts, in search of solid, relevant contacts for us to reach out to. We generate a list of companies using another solution, and then we use ZoomInfo to look through a list of everyone that works at the company. ZoomInfo shows the name and role of the employee, as well as their email and/or phone number. You can check a box next to the name of each of the contacts that you want, and then you import them and it extracts their contact info. ZoomInfo is critical to how we do business and how we engage with prospects. We rely strongly on this solution for bridging the gap between us and our prospects. I highly recommend it to any considering.
  • ZoomInfo integrates very well with other solutions. For example, we integrate it within our Salesforce so that we can access it while using Salesforce. It creates a seamless prospecting experience.
  • ZoomInfo has a very user-friendly interface. The options for filtering the list of contacts by name or by position make it easy to sift through the data and find the best contacts.
  • ZoomInfo has contact info for most of its contacts. This is a huge strength because just having the name of the CEO, CTO, or Product Manager isn't the best strategy. That's where ZoomInfo comes in and can give you their email and phone number.
  • Sometimes the contact is no longer at the company, which can be a bit annoying.
  • Sometimes the email or phone number is not accurate.
ZoomInfo is extremely well suited for employees who need to reach out to prospects through a cold call or cold email. It will give them the critical information they need to accomplish that task. ZoomInfo is also very helpful when you find the CEO or CTO on a company's website, and need to find their specific information. You can search for them on ZoomInfo and secure it.

ZoomInfo was being used by both the sales and marketing departments. ZoomInfo provided our sales department with company and employee information they could use during prospecting/cold calling. Rather than relying on outdated record information housed in the database, the sales department was able to cross-check account information with ZoomInfo information to make sure that they had the most up to date records. ZoomInfo was an easy way to quickly gather necessary contact information such as direct line, email, and even employment history to create a robust record in the CRM.
  • Provides critical contact information such as direct line, email, affiliations, employment history, and even education. All of this can be used while prospecting clients.
  • ZoomInfo is able to integrate with Salesforce, which makes importing and updating new contacts 100 times easier. Within the ZoomInfo portal on a Salesforce company record, you have the ability to filter by location, department, and even employee name to find the correct contacts.
  • Once the Zoominfo Chrome extension is downloaded, you are able to access basic company information from within your Chrome browser. This feature is especially helpful when sales representatives are conducting research on potential clients (companies), but do not have a record created in the CRM. You can see number of employees, company phone, location, industry, etc.
  • Sometimes provides outdated information.
  • If your Salesforce has customized fields on contact records, uploading new contacts directly from ZoomInfo might not work properly.
  • I cannot think of a third con about ZoomInfo.
I believe ZoomInfo is great for sales teams that are conducting a lot of prospecting. ZoomInfo is an easy way to keep your database up to date and easily discover/research new companies or clients to contact. The only reason I would give ZoomInfo a 9/10 is due to the outdated information. I'm not certain how they pull their information, but our company record always listed our old address location even though we had been at our new location for 1 year +.

We use ZoomInfo to help build marketing lists for marketing automation campaigns. We have bought as many as 1 million contacts in a year. The sales team also uses ZoomInfo to prospect.
  • Segmentation - They do a good job of segmenting lists by multiple categories.
  • Accurate information - email addresses and phone numbers are accurate 98% of the time.
  • They work with us to makes sure our needs are met.
  • They help us come up with creative solutions that meet our needs.
  • More segmentation - more segmentation is always good.
  • Slightly better interface for downloading and managing lists.
  • Slightly better "standard" pricing.
It's great for building generalized segmented mass marketing prospecting lists, but not as useful for very specific lists or very customized lists.

It's great for verifying contact information.

In our organization, several departments use ZoomInfo for lead generation and prospection purposes. Our marketing department uses ZoomInfo for generating leads for their marketing campaigns or for distributing to the various sales teams. Our sales department uses ZoomInfo to generate prospects. We as the sales team use the tool individually. Every Sales Development Representative or Account Executive have their own accounts and they use ZoomInfo for prospecting purpose.
  • ZoomInfo shows a lot of people within one organization.
  • It gives you a lot of data about the prospect like phone, mail, address, social media and etc.
  • You can upload the prospects to the tools that it integrates with.
  • Contact & Company Search features can be improved in a way that you can apply SQL language.
  • More people have to be added to the database because generally when I can't find someone on ZoomInfo I go to DiscoverOrg and find that person.
  • It'd be very nice if ZoomInfo can give advice on your searches like these companies/contacts might be relevant to your search.
It is very well suited for the outbound sales workflow scenarios. If you are reaching out to people considered outbound you need to find people relevant to what you are selling. And also if you are making a high volume of contacts in a day you need to find a large number of contacts. ZoomInfo is suitable to help you with your needs in this position.

ZoomInfo is a great tool for getting contact information for specific prospects you are trying to target with your outreach, whether that be over email or phone. At my organization, it is used across both sales and account management functions. It may also be used by our research team when trying to facilitate in-depth interviews over the phone for research studies. ZoomInfo provides a way to potentially contact prospects in which contact info is scarce or not available publicly.
  • ZoomInfo is great at providing contact information for a large number of people at thousands of companies.
  • ZoomInfo often times has direct lines for prospects that aren't available elsewhere.
  • The vast majority of the contact information that ZoomInfo provides is accurate.
  • Occasionally, ZoomInfo has old information or inaccurate info for prospects. For example, my contact information (and job title) are inaccurate on ZoomInfo.
  • Some of the phone numbers that ZoomInfo has that are considered to be "direct lines" are personal cellphones of prospects. When used, there are times when prospects are upset that you have their personal number and reached them on it.
  • ZoomInfo doesn't have the most accurate company related information. ZoomInfo is a much better resource for providing individual info vs. at a company level.
ZoomInfo is well suited for an organization that utilizes cold outreach to generate leads/business as ZoomInfo has a wealth of information related to direct phone numbers and email addresses. ZoomInfo is less appropriate for organizations that generate a lot of inbound leads and would therefore have little need to generate leads of its own from cold outreach.

We use ZoomInfo on daily basis to improve our sales department and reach more relevant and qualified leads. It allows us to explore markets that are difficult to enter and generate demand. It's an easy to use tool with credible information and easy to navigate interface that allows me to improve at my job.
  • Credible information
  • Simple contact export features
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • More direct phone numbers would be useful
  • Adding notes to a lead so that others from your company can see your engagement
  • More flexible licensing
ZoomInfo is well suited for daily sales operations, it will allow an organisation to grow their reachout and effectiveness by reaching a larger base of clients. It is less appropriate for companies who do not have a large sales teams because the licensing costs may not be well compensated in return for use of this product.

I like ZoomInfo and the convenience of having the data feed into my accounts in Salesforce. Simply finding the contacts/prospects you need and then clicking to add them into the account is super convenient.
  • Sorts by most important title so decision makers show up first typically
  • Click to add saves time and data entry
  • Shows how current the data is with a date stamp to the right of each contact
  • First, sometimes I still have to search LinkedIn and add people manually at times. That is somewhat natural due to turnover I am sure.
  • Second, and this may be a setting on my company's part, not certain, I now have to login to ZoomInfo ever day whereas it used to keep me logged in for long periods of time, even months.
Even with a couple of issues that are not perfect, I would still be very sad to see it go, so 9/10 for this one.

  • Even when I can't find a particular contact, you can find the structure of the company email fairly easily, allowing you to more accurately guess at your contact's email.
  • My only issue is that many of the contacts in my industry are not listed in Zoom, or have not been updated recently, which can be frustrating.
If your sales team is doing a lot of outside prospecting I think ZoomInfo is a great tool to help them find email addresses, which are very important in today's multi-channel sales process. I've definitely seen an increase in engagement and scheduled calls since our team started using the tool, which is great.

Review: "ZoomInfo is a must-have tool for sales prospecting"

ZoomInfo is being used by our SDR team here and some of our AEs as well. It's a great tool for finding accurate direct phone numbers and email addresses for key contacts while prospecting into accounts. Reaching people directly on the phone is key in today's world of sales as 1) it is easier to sell in general in real-time, and 2) getting a negative response allows you to get that person out of your hair immediately rather than continuing to spend additional time/touches via email over the following days/weeks.
  • Very accurate contact information for prospects' direct lines and emails.
  • Allows you to quickly sync prospects into your CRM with the click of a button.
  • Gives you a great, updated overview of titles & positions within your targeted account.
  • Simple UI and user friendly tool.
  • Security issue discussions have popped up in the news and by word of mouth.
  • Some of the filtering capabilties in general with the tool could be improved.
  • Some information, like how long a contact has been with a company, is a bit outdated and could be better cleaned up.
I recommend ZoomInfo to any person or organization who is in sales and needs to quickly connect with people. I've used many tools in this area in my time as both an SDR and an AE and this is the best tool I have yet to come across. 8 out of 10.

ZoomInfo is only being used by our sales team. It provides key information about prospects and their clients. It saves us a lot of time trying to manually find important info about these prospects. Another big win is it provides multiple ways to contact a prospect. Oftentimes we will get a lead with either just an email or just a phone number. ZoomInfo is a great tool to help find the missing information.
  • Fast
  • Easy to use
  • Delivers reliable information
  • Works great with Salesforce
  • Occasionally will have inaccurate emails
  • The list exporting process can be cumbersome
  • The Chrome extension is occasionally slow
I used ZoomInfo almost all day, everyday in my previous role. I previously was an outbound SDR. In this role, it was essential for me to find new prospects and reach out to them. I needed a reliable and fast way to find qualified prospects. ZoomInfo made it easy for me to find these prospects by the criteria I selected, and get their contact info. I soon became very familiar with ZoomInfo and was able to prospect 5x the amount I was previously doing. I love the tool.

ZoomInfo Review: "Great Supplement tool for prospecting"

The sales department is utilizing ZoomInfo to help mine for new contacts to reach out to. It's pretty expensive, so we only purchased 4 licenses, I believe. We have designated computers that salespeople are able to sign up for 30-minute slots in order to use. For the most part, most salespeople use it as a supplement to LinkedIn Sales Navigator - not as a replacement.
  • Provides direct phone numbers
  • Provides correct email addresses
  • Help find contacts that may or may not be on LinkedIn
  • Provides history on the contact and previous places they worked and some interesting facts that can be used while contacting them
  • More updates. 6 months is a long time to run an update and often people are no longer at the company
  • Do some more verification steps. I've had people who have passed away, however, since their email signature is still active, it shows as them still working at the company. Awkward phone calls.
  • Lower the price to enable more usage.
It is well suited for mining new contacts in a sales position. Outside of that, it wouldn't be a huge benefit. I'm not aware of other teams, outside of sales, utilizing it. It is well suited as a supplement to Linkedin Sales Navigator - but not as a stand-alone tool. LI will provide more accurate titles, work history, alumni, accomplishments. ZoomInfo is more for the contact information and getting a direct phone number and correct email address.

ZoomInfo Review: "Not as pretty as other products, but gets the job done"

We use ZoomInfo in our sales and marketing efforts primarily, however, I think one of our managers got access to it the other day to find an interviewee's contact info. It provides a way to allow us to find reliable direct phone and email addresses for prospects and inbound marketing leads.
  • The best thing ZoomInfo has going for it is its reputation for being one of the most up-to-date and accurate sources for direct phone numbers. There are many other tools out there that can find company emails, but the phone numbers is a big selling point.
  • The UX/UI is far from ideal. That said, they are investing in this piece and even pushed a major update to the UI this year with ZoomInfo 2.0, along with a new Chrome extension (which still has some kinks to work through).
I think ZoomInfo is well suited for SMB companies, but for companies primarily selling into enterprise it might make sense to explore Discoverorg, which I think does a better job of mapping out an org chart.

ZoomInfo Review: "Quite sophisticated contact info library, but data quality in EMEA is lacking"

ZoomInfo is used by the inside sales team to find business contact information for our prospects. It helps sales development reps to build lists of prospects and reach out to them directly via phone or email. It streamlines the sales development process.
  • Great contact filtering options. For example, you can search by company HQ location or by an actual employee stationed location. This is a great feature
  • Credit system to redeem contacts with a list with a direct integration to .csv and SF
  • Many contacts have direct dials! A golden information in the world of sales
  • ReachOut Browser extension is great. If you are browsing a Linkedin profile you can search for their contact information with one click.
  • A lot of old contact information, at least in EMEA. My U.S. colleagues seem to have better information, but we struggle with that in Europe.
  • List build tutorial is very clumsy. I had to call support a few times.
  • Account support could be better. We were reaching out to set up a call discuss renewal and no one got back to us.
It is good if you are selling to established business where decision makers have spent multiple years with a company. For these contacts, you will have the most accurate information. If you need to find a contact info of fewer than 100 people a month, then you might find cheaper alternatives. The Zoominfo license is pretty pricey.

"ZoomInfo Accelerates Connect Rate"

I use ZoomInfo individually at my company and it is not deployed organization wide. I find it to be one of the best tools for finding data out there. Many times in sales and business development you can find an email address and main number, which can still make it difficult to reach someone. I've found that the direct numbers you can find in ZoomInfo have been highly accurate and make getting in touch directly with prospects easier than trying to navigate through main numbers or direct dials that aren't accurate on other data sites.
  • I have found that contacts in the database have a high percentage of direct dials. As any business development or sales person who cold calls can tell you, having the ability to get in touch directly on the phone with prospects makes life so much better and makes hitting your goals way easier.
  • All of the data is pulled directly from users contacts, which usually equates to more accurate info. While Data.com is very useful, there are still a lot of users who add numbers as direct or make erroneous changes to contacts trying to earn points which can be frustrating. That problem doesn't exist on ZoomInfo.
  • You can also find some talking points as it can include previous positions and education. Having some additional intel on a prospect is always a good thing when trying to build rapport on a cold call.
  • More accurate company data, specifically when it comes to employee counts. This information is just put into a range and many times just isn't accurate anyways.
  • While not a huge issue, there are times when I'll run into contact information that is very out of date. That is the one downside to the crowd sourced data. If numerous people don't have updated contact information, you can come across folks who were last updated YEARS ago.
  • Downloading lists can make it hard to have enough account information. While you can filter on the site, subcategories don't show up in downloaded CSVs for some reason, which means at times you need to go back and create multiple lists. If they added the subcategories it would take a lot of steps out the process.
I would say that anyone who is making targeted cold calls should be using this tool. If you have a name there is a good chance that not only can you find accurate email data, more often than not you can find a direct line as well. This is most effective for people who are calling into larger companies as without direct dial you can spend a while navigating through the system and dealing with numerous gatekeepers along the way.
