Lots of great data available, but there are limitations on how you can use it
Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers
For a company like mine that constantly needs to be verifying business-related data, D&B Hoovers is an excellent tool and one we'd recommend. We evaluated many other tools for this purpose, and D&B Hoovers was the one best equipped to enable us to create very segmented lists using the dozens of filters they offer, including industry type, revenue, location, employee size, and even job title with/without verified email addresses. Given D&B's legacy as a top provider of business data, it's natural that Hoovers is the best tool for these specific reasons.
Pros
- Granular segmented lists.
- Smart lists that dynamically update automatically.
- Verified data.
- CRM integration.
Cons
- Cost per record.
- Better phone numbers.
- Generating industry-specific lists and targeting key contacts at each company via email.
- Identifying target audience sizes for marketing campaigns.
- Verifying business and contact data.
- ZoomInfo and Crunchbase
Neither of these options is nearly as robust as D&B Hoovers in terms of the sheer amount of business data they offer when searching and generating lists. However, Crunchbase offers the option to reach out directly to prospects through its platform, which is quite valuable, and they both offer more viable phone numbers than D&B Hoovers.
