Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Adapt.io for contact discovery, I am into sales and I do cold emailing to potential clients. I use LinkedIn sales navigator to zero in on the potential clients and then use Adapt.io to find their email addresses. I also use it for finding company info in terms of revenue and number of employees, but mainly for finding emails.

Pros and Cons

Finding email addresses of potential clients.
Company info in terms of revenue and number of employees
Contact discovery in terms of location, role and industry

I don't see any need of improvement
Industry Filters can be more specific.
Number of credits are less.

Return on Investment

Helped me increase the volume of outreach
Helped me find relevant data of people to connect with
The ROI can take time to achieve as the number of credits are less.

Alternatives Considered

Lusha Extension, Seamless.ai, Apollo, Hunter and D&B Hoovers

Adapt.io id pretty much similar to all the above tools (Lusha, Seamless.ai, hunter, D&B hoovers) The interface is easy on the eyes and the search time is quick. However the most important criterion is the accuracy of the data, if you get incorrect email ID and you use your SMTP to send mails with incorrect IDs it will spoil you domain reputation and your domain may even get black listed.
The accuracy of Adapt is good. however there were cases where the company information was not available, this is in comparison to the tools like Lusha and Seamless. Good tool to use but maybe a bit expensive since the credits given are less.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is best suited if you are doing cold outreach and want to get in touch with people with specific roles, in specific industries, and locations. For example, I can choose the United States or some states therein and then choose a number of employees in a company, revenue and also the level of seniority (CXO, VP etc.)of the particular person and find his details. Adapt.io gives the correct email address of these people along with the complete information of the company. As far as prospecting and contact discovery is concerned there is not scenario where Adapt.io is not useful.

Good Accuracy but credits are less
