Overall Satisfaction with Owler
Owler gives some valuable information about an industry, competitors, clients, partners, buyers etc. It also allows you to make a comparative analysis and track other companies you're interested in. The information is very useful for marketing and sales professionals, so Owler is mostly used by our marketing and sales departments.
- Owler is very simple, user-friendly and offers many great features.
- It is completely free which is great.
- The platform gives me a lot of information about our industry trends; about our competitors and partners. It helps to stay updated and always to know the latest news.
- Customized notifications are great, it allows me to spend time reading what I actually need.
- I do not like that Owler asks employees to compare their organization with competitors. I do not think that it gives an objective and accurate rating because if the employee is happy with the company, he/she will just give the highest mark without even paying attention to questions. And otherwise, if the employee is unhappy he/she will just give the lowest mark without paying attention to questions. As a result, the rating is not accurate.
- The customer support is very slow, you can wait forever for their replies.
- I do not like the fact that in order to register and track other companies you need to provide information about your company to allow other companies to track your company. It would be great to have an option to pay a little bit for not providing information about my company.
- Owler is completely free, so we didn't invest any money in the platform
- Saves a lot of time on research as it gives you all news you need automatically every day
- Insightly and DiscoverOrg
Both Insightly and DiscoverOrg are not like direct alternatives to Owler. We use Owler as it provides lots of information for free and we have been using it for a while and I do not know any other products that provide the same information, so I do not know real direct Owler competitors.
