D&B Hoovers

Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers

We used D and B Hoovers to source information about companies within our target demographic for new business sales. It was intended to provide us with an insight to information not readily available to the general public.
  • Organizes information in an easy to find manner
  • Offers Financial Information not easily found online
  • Give insight to the company structure
  • Keeping updated information. A lot of what we found ended up being out of date or no longer relevant.
  • Providing updates when changes occur on information already retrieved.
  • Updating hierarchies within companies listed and removing contacts no longer at the particular company.
  • It allowed us to start a process we did not have previously.
  • Led us to finding alternative solutions that worked well for us.
  • Gave good insight on the general financial health of an organization.
  • Offered idea of who was in which role
We looked at company snap shots and the heirarchies. We did not really utilize reporting features within the software because it did not apply to our needs.
