BlueConic vs. Leadspace

BlueConic works well as a central customer database and for building detailed customer profiles. If you want to learn how customers are engaging with your brand and then act on that data, BlueConic is the perfect choice.

Leadspace simplifies the process of gathering, normalizing, and validating data. As it is a robust tool, it allows us to focus our efforts on creating demand. Because it is the source of truth, we use it to enrich all incoming data and organize records into scales. We would, however, appreciate having more industry-specific data. We are working on combining and unifying various industry data sets so that they can be ingested into their enrichment values.

• Reachforce Smart forms - pumps up conversions with fewer fields, while getting high quality/accurate data company and contact on the back end
• Reachforce data is second to none
• Reachforce standardization is a lifesaver when doing things like segmenting, direct mail, etc.

• The software was a bit glitchy at times and the beta products were launched a little too prematurely. I didn't feel like it was tested thoroughly and caused headaches at times.
• Qualifying the product was and is still probably hard for them. They could easily be confused as testing software (which it works well for) but their go-to-market is personalization... which I don't believe is their strength. It's more like a "real-time Ecomm optimization".
• Their connections with other providers was left a little more desirable. Would love to have seen them have more connections into CRM that the 4-5 they offered.

• Data quality on contact level is not accurate as we would like. I noticed even the data we get from D&B is not as accurate as would like. It is understandable because people change their jobs so frequently in our industry. We received high bounce rate from our email marketing. We did the random review of our own data against their data and found some contacts' info has not been updated and is wrong.
• Smartforms integration can be tricky for the first time users.
• I wish they refreshed their data more frequently than quarterly.

Nothing else to add

I think without a bit of training and knowledge it would be hard to walk right into a role or a task inside of BlueConic - it is kind of hard to comprehend everything that is available and all of the options. The language inside of BlueConic is also very different than other things in the industry, so it was hard to understand what it would line up with.

BlueConic is more lightweight and allows for more unique experiences at the same time. Again - this isn't meant to perfect the core UX of your site, but sit on top to deliver unique experiences to control offer management and close rates.

We chose Leadspace after evaluating several other suppliers in part because of their ability to give localized addresses for contacts, enrich with personas, and provide predictive intent data for contacts. Among other things, they've exceeded expectations in all three of these areas and more.

• Too early to tell. Will report back in a month. If all goes to plan though, massive. We hope subs make up the vast majority of revenues by 2020, which will be powered by BC.

• Account Management team from Leadspace is very helpful in helping us to understand the product in detail.
• Enrichment of data based on company and person helps the organisation to plan & execute better.
• Can get the customized details from Leadspace team based on our needs
• The feature "persona scoring" helps in defining our key target personas using job titles, job levels and technologies and now when new leads come into our database, they get scored against these personas and this drives a key part of our lead scoring model and campaign segmentation
