Overall Satisfaction with Owler
Signed up for Owler for market research. I am a commercial insurance broker in Las Vegas, focused on risk management for general contractors and specialty trade construction. My ideal client has roughly 20-200 employees, and $2-15 million in revenue annually.
Owler did not address any problems. Upon searching for 10 mid-sized companies that I am already familiar with as a test, all 10 had "incomplete profiles." As well, those with "estimated employee and revenue totals" were wildly inaccurate.
For example, 2 mid-to large companies that I am in touch with with employee counts of 100-250 are left blank in Owler. I am also in talks with a business owner who has 130 employees, but it is listed on Owler as 34 employees.

- Potentially good source of market research for large companies with 1000+ employees.
- Very limited information.
- Inaccurate information, wildly misleading.
- It is not user friendly for searching.
- I signed up for the basic version to test the site, as I regularly use LinkedIn, buzzfile and manta. I will NOT be purchasing a subscription, although I originally intended to do so.
Buzzfile, Manta. Buzzfile, while not perfect, is 10 times more accurate and resourceful.
