RainKing (discontinued) vs. TechTarget Priority Engine

RainKing is awesome if your organization is planning on using it to help you acquire more targeted leads that fit well in the space you are going after. I love that there is no limit as to how many companies you can go after. The CSM that I worked with (Will Elchorn) did a superb job of answering any and all questions that I had.

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.

Incentivized

• Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
• The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
• Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
• I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• I'm not a fan of my account manager. He's not the most responsive.
• There are limitations to the software (ex: I've found several instances where I get a message that says I need to pay more to get information about certain people/companies).

Incentivized

• The site loads kind of slowly. It seems like it takes a while for all of the information to populate on the screen.
• I would like to be able to make calls directly from TechTarget Priority Engine.
• Give real time notification when a prospect is on our site.

Usability is great, we would love to see how strong the intent is for every keywords

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.

We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to purchase government/federal data. I also really like RK's customer support - they seemed very nice and genuinely wanted to make sure we were getting the best ROI.

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

Incentivized

• In general can help with more accurate targeting (competitors provide more accurate and granular department designations)
• It can help with account penetration since it does provide the family tree and it is quite accurate
• Alerts do help in understanding companies initiatives (however competitors do provide similar service)

• I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
• On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
• I recommend they develop better training for first time users specific to a variety of use cases
