Likelihood to Recommend

D&B Hoovers is great for carrying out prospecting research for point of contact for various businesses and industries. It also includes great information regarding different industries. From my experience, contact information in D&B Hoovers was the most up-to-date information found across all prospecting research tools. Certain tools within the platform that allows for more precise targeting are add-ons that come with additional subscription costs. That can be a downside as the cost increases quickly with additional add-ons.
