    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

    TechTarget
    TechTarget would notify us when prospects looked us up by name or specifically researched areas where our product would prove beneficial. It did a great job gauging legitimate interest from the prospect and gave an idea of a timeline as well so that we could understand their urgency.

    Pros
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • They easily connect with my Outlook to sync my upcoming meetings.
    • It provides me with the social profiles of people I am meeting with.
    • It gives me the ability to have all my info about my contact in one place to easily review.

    • Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
    • I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
    • TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

    Cons
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
    • The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
    • It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

    TechTarget
    • It is not particularly intuitive
    • Too many steps to get where I need to go
    • Needs to provide more depth to help determine urgency and intent to buy
    • Response rate from contacting leads based on search behaviors was almost nil. This may be partially due to messaging on our end.

    I'm just a business user of TechTarget so I really haven't had the chance to gauge what the support is from a customer standpoint. Given that we recently rolled it out and everyone is utilizing it daily I would assume that their support is strong enough for us to continues to use it.

    The thing that Charlie does best is it aggregates everything in one place. It allows me to have a one-stop shop, that I can quickly review prior to heading into a meeting. People are usually amazed with the amount of info that Charlie can give you, and it almost always works its way into my sales call.

    TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read a white paper or downloaded a brochure, which made my timing for prospecting much easier. I do believe ZoomInfo's company directories are more robust and wide-spread

    Return on Investment
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • The info I pull from Charlie prior to the meeting is almost always brought up as a conversation starter.
    • Charlie helps my relationships go deeper than just surface level info.
    • The ability to go deeper in my relationships while using Charlie has absolutely closed me business.

    • It is best when used in conjunction with all of our other tooling and not used alone
    • It has enabled my team to have a better feel for what is happening at a prospect's company
    • It sometimes consumes too many hours in the day waiting on data to load, and time is wasted toggling between pages
