Overall Satisfaction with Demandbase

Demandbase One is the ABM platform we use and is one of the most important pieces of our ABM tech stack. We use several Demandbase modules: 1) Ad Targeting - we use the Ad Targeting platform to target very specific 1:1 accounts as well as larger 1:few/many accounts based on vertical and persona. Demandbase also offers person-based targeting which has been a game changer when trying to reach specific individuals. 2) Orchestrate - we are able to build many different campaigns outside of DB in order to help us scale. This has been extremely helpful with a small team. 3) Intent Data Platform - we are able to run campaigns off of specific keywords, especially competitive keywords which allows us to target prospects in the "shopping" stage. In addition, our sales team uses the engagement insights in order to see which of their target accounts have been on the website and engaging with our brand.

  • The Demandbase UI is user-friendly, easy to navigate and super intuitive.
  • Ad Targeting and budgeting is very concise, the platform tells you how much reach and spend you can expect for each campaign.
  • Person-based ad targeting, they are one of the only platforms that offers this which is a game changer.
  • Ad targeting reporting in SFDC is currently missing
  • Ad reach in to smaller accounts

Demandbase has all of the features needed to run a successful ABM program, from engagement data, to ad targeting and is super easy to use. We chose Demandbase over the others because it included all of the features we were looking for, where others fell short. We have also used Demandbase for many years and have been able to show positive ROI.
