Overall Satisfaction
Pros
- It's a centralized portal for account intelligence. It provides aggregated data on companies including key financial data, but also company news regarding things like new product releases, acquisitions, new hires, etc.
- The contacts tab provides a list of people at the company sorted by function.
- One of the useful features is the ability to build a "watch list". I can flag individual companies or job titles or other keywords, and the system automatically tracks these and sends me a daily email feed with updates.
- Integration with the CRM system (in our case Salesforce) is very useful as I can import dat directly into the Account tab in SF.
Cons
- Provide current contact information. The contact information for people working at specific companies is not reliable. I have to double-check each contact against LinkedIn and it often turns out that the job title is wrong, or the person has moved on. This is a major inconvenience. It would be much better if the system were fully integrated with LinkedIn so that this data was more accurate.
- New business with named accounts.
