D&B Hoovers

Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers

One of the challenges I come across is limited information pertaining to smaller companies. I would say their book of business is $10million or less. I'm only able to locate the very basics. I would love to see more up to date information on some businesses that I lookup because the information can be misleading as far as the number of employees and the actual revenue of that company.

Pros

  • I like the fact that I'm able to locate company information pretty quickly.
  • I love the in-depth information provided for a company that provides a bird eye view of the company's assets, liabilities, swot analysis, competitors, etc.
  • The industry overview is a good one for me because it provides information that is invaluable on what I need to properly assist clients/customers in my field of work.

Cons

  • The competitor list can be updated because I run into at times with smaller market clients with very little details on who those clients are.
  • Again for smaller market clients, there may or may not be much information pertaining to the financial/industry info.
  • I run into trouble sometimes locating smaller market clients. I'm not sure if there is a cap on the size as far as financials are concerned that matters but I have to do some digging around when that occurs.
  • DB Hoovers has provided our team access to a vastly updated database, of which in turn has helped us to streamline lead generation and target ideal customers.
  • I love love love the fact that D&B Hoovers has allowed us to access detailed company profiles and real-time alerts. This has helped us to be more informed and more strategic in our conversations with prospects.
  • With this wonderful tool's extensive database of companies worldwide it has enabled us as a company to expand our reach into new markets and identify new opportunities in international markets that has shown tremendous success on our end.
The amount of information is mind boggling at times but I love it because you can never have enough information at your fingertips. I typically look at a few main areas to gather what I need for the essentials of what I do and those are of course the financials, competitors, trends, the SWOT Analysis is extremely helpful and I look at the trending news as needed.
The contact information is indeed helpful. I review the site and all contacts section of D&B Hoovers but I mostly hone in on the contact decision matrix. The contact matrix is key for me because it points to who we as a company would strategically need to reach out to in order to seek when there is a potential opportunity for business with this client.

It has improved year over year with invaluable details on a client, it's competitors, etc.
