Overall Satisfaction with DiscoverOrg

DiscoverOrg is okay but generally seems like the information is either incorrect or out of date. We used it to try and bracket companies by size for territory purposes and it often created more problems than solutions as Discover would provide one figure for a company but public documents might provide other figures. This made it especially difficult to trust info about private companies.
  • I think DiscoverOrg is great at breaking down high-level org charts.
  • The financial data, when accurate, is great insight.
  • It's difficult to ensure that Discover Org financial data is correct.
  • Granular org charts are almost never correct.
  • When people move on to a different job, Discover Org is usually the last to know.
DiscoverOrg is well-suited for teams that need very macro data on companies, but not so much for companies that need very granular data. My company tried to use this service to break down very detail aspects of how companies operate and it didn't really help us. Additionally, we tried to use this as a lead source for cold prospecting and it simply didn't work.
