Avoid Definitive Healthcare

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We licensed Definitive Healthcare's data to use for prospecting in healthcare. We found it clumsy and non-intuitive, but by far, the biggest issue was the error rates - we experienced errors as high as 30% on some lists.

Pros

  • Sales person was very persuasive.
  • I feel customer success was nice but not helpful.
  • In my opinion, they do a good job of locking licensees into contracts where they have all the leverage.

Cons

  • In my experience, the data is shot full of errors. We couldn't use it
  • Definitive Healthcare needs better data
  • I know a contact who moved employers 6 mos ago - his data in Definitive Healthcare is STILL INCORRECT

Most Important Features

  • The contract expiration
  • The date when the contract ends
  • Or they go out of business

Return on Investment

  • In my experience, We've experienced no value from the data
  • In my opinion, we've paid for no value
  • So the RoI is negative
