DataFox (discontinued)ZoomInfo Sales
Likelihood to Recommend
I would definitely recommend DataFox to any sales team that wants their prospecting to be improved. If a company has trouble finding companies that fit their customer segments, then DataFox can probably solve that issue. I took 2 points off and gave an 8/10 because of the inaccuracy that is sometimes encountered in the lists generated and in the employee count.

If you are trying to escalate quickly and talk to many people use ZoomInfo Sales. It's great for prospecting and creating call lists according to different personas and parameters that you may have like employee count, phone numbers, emails, data accuracy, etc. In my opinion, organizations of all sizes could benefit from ZoomInfo Sales if used correctly.

Pros
  • Initial sync with CRM is relatively effortless
  • Signal Data provided for each company is extremely valuable for targeting
  • Great Customer success team

  • Zoominfo provides us scoops regarding any new upcoming project or pain points (difficulties) facing by certain companies which helps a lot in our business to contact such companies.
  • Zoominfo gives us the exaction info such as email address, Direct or Cell phone number of particular contact which we want and we don't get anywhere except zoominfo
  • Zoominfo has huge database. Intent is one of the favorite section where we get the exact info about the companies/industries which we want
  • Zoominfo Connects with Hubspot which is another benefit for us to add any specific contact directly to our HubSpot app.

Cons
  • I wish there was the ability to score/prioritize by different types of models (this would allow you prioritize different variations of account "profiles" vs. a catch-all score.
  • There could be better contact data, but contact data is hard to come by (unless you're crawling linkedin/email signatures for the real deal).
  • This isn't really a knock on Datafox, but I hope for a more robust API integration to other platforms that would benefit from account/contact data (Yesware, ChiliPiper, etc.)

  • For initial users, the system can be a little overwhelming. A ZoomInfor SalesOS Basics guide could be beneficial to keep new users from feeling lost amongst all the options.
  • Clearer instructions on how to set targeted search parameters for inbound information would be beneficial.

With the combined resources of crowdsorced info on both data.com as well as the immediacy of info on LinkedIn, as well as intel on Hoovers, information provided on ZoomInfo is more readily available if you have the time to invest in looking for it. However, at the pace we do business, having a "one stop shop" for information is very convenient. On efficiency alone, ZoomInfo is worth the price of subscription considering our business model.

Usability
No answers on this topic
ZoomInfo is easy to use, the tutorials and videos and help are well done for learning. The team relies on it heavily to obtain contact info, identify decision makers, research company information and locate leads in their areas. I appreciate being able to obtain missing contact information from trade show lists.

There would have nice while providing a great platform to use, to have an in person class to show how it would best serve us and to navigate. Nothing was provided to myself outside of having a sign on and the preloaded steps to get through basic processes

It is an easy to use tool and the integration with Salesforce works well. Also, it was a real time-saver when it comes to looking for information about companies where you want to make a pitch,

Demandbase has outdated info. No good way to export contacts. There is no sidebar; you have to use the tool on its own to find people, and the information is unreliable. It's not user-friendly. Zoom has all of that and more.

  • It has no impact on my region because of the lack of information.
  • Works only for the teams focused on big companies so SME teams don't benefit from it.
  • It is a great tool to prioritize big accounts.

  • Zoominfo Sales has reduced our company research effort by at least 80%. We now have all the information in one place.
  • TAM (total addressable market) data accuracy is significant.
  • AOP planning is flawless, i.e., allocating budget, sales resources, etc., by territory.
