    I leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

    This is a free service, so it should be compared to free and low cost alerting (e.g. Google Alerts) and PE/VC funding profile (e.g. Crunchbase) services. Owler is well suited for competitive intelligence professionals, named account reps, and marketing professionals tracking company news (web mined company mentions and press releases) and social media (blogs, Video, YouTube). The alerts are high precision and tag for three key events (M&A, Funding, Exec Changes). It is the alerting and social media tools which are the key strength of the service. The company claims two million profiles, but only has 60,000 with full address information. Content includes competitors, user polls, and funding / M&A data. Owler should be viewed as a free complement to other online company research tools, but it lacks the depth to replace subscription services. Missing content includes long business descriptions; financials and discrete sizing data; family tree linkage, and executive profiles (only the CEO is covered) While they offer list building functionality, it is quite thin and non-downloadable. As such, I would not recommend Owler for sales and marketing prospecting at this point. A unique feature is a set of company polls about the direction of the company and CEO performance. Unfortunately, the response rates are often too low to be statistically meaningful.

    • Owler enables the user to quickly find the data and information that he or she needs.
    • I appreciate the customizable dashboard where you can set alerts and track companies you select.
    • The latest news regarding the funding rounds of startup companies is especially helpful.
    • The top competitors to companies provided by Owler often give me a great point of reference for my competitive analysis.

    Cons
    Lusha
    • It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
    • It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
    • No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.

    • The information provided is useful but at times the variation with other websites and tools is substantial which makes it difficult to rely solely on owler
    • Information only about bigger companies is available not for smaller and research on smaller ones are important as there are not many tools that do that
    • There are few companies that appear as defunct or do not exist but in the actual market there is a lot going on with them and being in market intelligence industry owler needs to capture that
    • It would be great if they provide revenue or growth of the in the past three years or so. As it would save our time and efforts to some extent
    • They need to maintain the database in aperiodic manner with precise information

    Not really an applicable question as this is a free service, but if they charged $100 / year (GageIn's price) I would still license the service.

    Usability
    Lusha
    Simple, clean efficient. No lags and gets us the exact data that we need. No unnecessary terminologies, and it works like a charm every time. From prospecting to lead generation, and intent searching, Lusha is our go to tool and it has stayed ever since we started using it. i would highly recommend.

    I think it's well designed but always room for improvement. Maybe more customization in layout or information presented. Maybe even a layout that allows comparison and ranking of companies in a similar industry or vertical, or company size, and geography

    I have yet to see the platform down or running slowly, but there have been multiple instances recently (Q2 2015) when the user links to a news story and Owler gives an Oops message. Users simply click on the story a second time and the story is displayed. This is a nuisance bug. I also have a sense that the system is not processing alerts as quickly as before, but I haven't tracked this closely, so I could be wrong about it.

    The news precision, which is the most important feature for me, is very accurate. They have editors review the news to ensure it is properly tagged by company and event type.

    It is actually pretty easy. If you already worked with Google Chrome's extensions, you're not going to have any problem. It's actually plug & play – you just need to setup your account, install the extension and start prospecting. Lusha gives you an assistant on the browser that easily allows you to crawl information of any LinkedIn profile you're visiting.

    Focus on setting up companies that have limited news coverage first. Public companies are well covered and it is easy to track them. Furthermore, the surfeit of news around public companies can crowd out smaller companies with less news. It is smaller companies where you are most likely to see a benefit in their tracking of news, blogs, press releases, and videos.

    Lusha is cheaper compared to other competitors, and zoom is much more accurate, but Lusha is cheaper. We use Lusha to find consultants to fill our job roles, and our team finds this tool to be very helpful in reaching out to passive consultants. We have closed some positions using Lusha. We have a team of 200+ recruiters, and we are currently using 6 logins for our head hunters, and they are all happy using Lusha account.

    I believe Lead411 and Owler go hand in hand, rather than one over the other. I believe Lead411's contact generation is far stronger based on the cost, but Owler allows you to broaden your horizon for prospecting whereas Lead411 is more of a user-driven search rather than an platform-driven search.

    Return on Investment
    Lusha
    • More time Selling, Less Time Searching: B2B selling today is all about how fast you can reach your prospects. Searching for contact information was daunting and painful a few years back. With 1-click imports, integrations and hunts: tools like Lusha are a massive benefit in terms of saving time in the ever laborious task of List Building.
    • Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.

    • The personalisation of emails has definitely helped us to earn a higher reply rate, with the knock-on that this will be helping with future deals.
    • Keeps us very relevant in our conversations with contacts. They are often impressed by the research and knowledge we have on their company and how we have aligned ourselves to help. Again, small differences at the start of calls but this will be helping with the number of opportunities created.
    • Reduces SDR prospecting time. Quick and easy to get updates allowing them to process a great number of accounts on a daily basis.
