DiscoverOrg (discontinued) vs. Outbound

Uses [of DiscoverOrg] include searching for prospects in accounts. Getting all of the relevant contact information in one place. Using the export button saves time by allowing you to select one or more leads to import into CRM. Sophisticated search allows for you to build lists, and export as above. Good support with various experts available to help you get started and get better at using it.

Outbound is particularly strong at sending outreach campaigns to mine key accounts. You can gather multiple contacts, view LinkedIn profiles, the number of LinkedIn followers, easily search and filter for new contacts within their database.

• DiscoverOrg is very good at account and contacts information. Their detail information are very accurate and relevant. This is the strength of DiscoverOrg.
• DiscoverOrg is great at providing direct phone numbers of your target contacts with ultimate accuracy, this is also a strength of DiscoverOrg.
• DiscoverOrg dashboards and reports features are just amazing and very informative. This is also a strength of DiscoverOrg.

• Filters leads
• Tracks engagement rates
• Detects bounced emails

• Speed - it can be quite slow at times.
• Improvement on the search capabilities - since there is so much to search (which is a plus) it makes it harder to do this in a timely manner. You have to dedicate a certain amount of time to be able to pull a proper, useful and clean list.
• Make it more user friendly - there are so many different tabs, search buttons, pull down, etc. I think it can be quite confusing to a new user.

• I did not experience anything to improve at the moment.
• Everything works well and perfect for me.

The tool is simply better than most other lead/company data repositories, and they are dedicated to keeping their data clean, even if they are far from accomplishing this task at present. The tool works, and it is relatively easy to use. Overall, DiscoverOrg provides the level of lead/contact, customer, and even industry level data the sales orgs have come to expect from this sort of tool in a format that is fairly easy to use. They do also provide support for sales teams looking to use the tool effectively, which is great!

ZoomInfo acquired DiscoverOrg and I believe legacy DiscoverOrg will phase out in the near future. ZoomInfo is 100x better than DiscoverOrg and are very pleased with it's functionality and easy of use. We only selected DiscoverOrg because we were on an auto-renewal contract and did not unsubscribe in time. We did not plan to renew DiscoverOrg. But since then we have been upgraded to ZoomInfo and are finding much more value in that platform than we did in DiscoverOrg.

Outbound is easy to use and gives better service and support.

• DiscoverOrg has had a positive impact on prospecting for the sales teams. It's increased efficiencies to be able to create a list of 1000s in less than 2 mins. It's been able to increase our number/rate of outreach, reduce time to prospect & increased our sales velocity to generate opportunities at a faster rate.
• The negative impact it has had on our team is that the sale team cannot use DiscoverOrg and it has to be used through our sales ops team because of permission issues/access issues.
• The ability to reach a large list of prospects has provided an ROI. We are getting a Return on Investment. I just am not the one who manages the costs so don't know to what extent it's paid for itself.

• It saves a lot of time finding ideal clients with their business emails that are truly verified.
• Allows me to send email campaigns with automated follow-ups without needing a marketing platform.
