Data.com (discontinued) vs. eGrabber eMail-Prospector

Data.com is a good prospecting and data information tool for any agency or company doing outbound prospecting. Data.com requires you to also have Salesforce CRM, so this tool is really only suited for those companies that can afford Salesforce. Because of this, Data.com seems like a better fit for companies with at least 30 or more employees (total in the company) and at least 5 Salesforce users. Data.com is not a good fit for small businesses.

I would say eGrabber is well suited for those looking for specific large amount (100+) individuals and their email addresses and to increase the probabilities of getting directly in front of prospect. Probably does not make much sense for those looking for 01-99 contacts as the time spent maybe not worth the cost. This really is a cost benefit item. What's your time worth?

• The contact information the website provides tends to be accurate.
• I like that it is free and works on a point system- the more info you give, the more info you get.
• I like that you can update contact information as needed.

• The "gatekeeper" is the toughest obstacle you will face while trying to reach a possible prospect. The eMail-Prospector gives you the opportunity to bypass that obstacle. All you need is the contact name and company.
• Fast and Efficient. In less than a minute, you can obtain the contact information you need. It's amazing how efficient the program is by producing correct information that is verifiable.
• Ease of Use. The program is so easy yet very sophisticated. All you need is a name and the company information - and you're already halfway there to getting viable contact information.
• Value. Within the first few weeks of using eMail-Prospector - it had basically paid for itself. By having the information for the correct contact person - my percentage of closing possible sales prospects increased by 50%.

• Even though it has a lot of features, sometimes it gets overwhelming for a newbie. So I would really appreciate it if the user interface gets more friendly.
• There are some digital advertising channels that Data.com struggles to connect. Also, within some channels like LinkedIn, it would be great if data.com could get more granular on ad type, ad targeting level (speaking from a marketing perspective).
• It has limited visualization capabilities where there is a lot of scope for improvement.

• Nothing, I love the tool!!

Very intuitive to use and I've never had any confusion with features. Anyone can create an account and use the platform simply by adding a contact or company into the database to earn points. It's a great option if you don't have budget for lists or pay services. It is easy to use and anyone can benefit from it.

Whenever I've had a question their support has responded pretty quickly and gives me exactly what I am looking for. I have not had any technical issues so I can't speak to issues there, but as far as general questions from a free user they have impressed me with how quickly they get back to me and the thoroughness of their answers.

The accuracy of Data.com versus SalesIntel is second to none. Data.com integrates with our current Salesforce platform, which takes out a lot of the manual manipulation of lists that we used to have to do when we had other platforms. This is particularly helpful because time is money.

I haven't used a similar product, nothing is even close to the quality of it. I have used some cheaper chrome extensions that have a 1/8 of the capability so there is not a comparison that I can make, which comes close to it

• As a freelancer, I've made thousands of dollars building sales lists, for what began as a $50 trial.
• Cross referencing with LinkedIn helps to explain to clients the job title progression a person has had, which can add to your credibility and strengthen your report content.
• Data.com hasn't had a negative return for me. Every dollar and minute of effort I have used it was worth it.

• This gave us access to contacts we didn't have before
• We were able to quickly find new leads.
• If used improperly, it can negatively impact your email reputation.
