D&B Hoovers

Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers

Through using Hoovers, my team attempt(ed) to address concerns in finding correct contacts, fit companies, and other important information to develop our pipeline. The program is used across the company, but particularly by me; marketing uses it to call from, analysts use it to compile lists, and management uses it to prepare for calls.

Pros

  • Comprehensive Set of Listings
  • Relevant Information
  • Multiple Ways to Search

Cons

  • Outdated Company Information
  • Outdated Company Ownership
  • Defunct Companies
  • Keeps Company Informed on Industry Players
  • Helps Obtain Weekly Target Numbers
  • Maintains Consistent Platform to Find Good Clients
As our company is just recently trying out ZoomInfo, my understanding of the comparison is abridged; however, I believe ZoomInfo does its homework and truly keeps ahead of the most current updates in the company. In my opinion, it's clear that there is a larger team devoted to ZoomInfo's tracking and research within industry and company, all the way down to single contacts and their efficacy as targets.

When searching by SIC code, Hoovers is very useful when discovering new companies. You can search for companies by the code or industry, whether you start from the company page and built out from similar companies or are starting a fresh search. The breadth that one can obtain searchable and quantifiable lists is impressive.
