6sense vs. DataFox (discontinued)

6sense is great when used for sales insight, especially in scenarios where sales teams need to prioritize accounts based on buying intent. When we want to identify which accounts are actively researching a product category or specific keywords, 6sense provides visibility into anonymous website visits and intent signals. 6sense can do better in terms data enrichment—such as updating or verifying contact details before import to CRM. While 6sense offers some enrichment features, tools like ZoomInfo is generally more robust to maintaining accurate contact-level data.

I would definitely recommend DataFox to any sales team that wants their prospecting to be improved. If a company has trouble finding companies that fit their customer segments, then DataFox can probably solve that issue. I took 2 points off and gave an 8/10 because of the inaccuracy that is sometimes encountered in the lists generated and in the employee count.

• 6sense has really detailed intent data. It's very dynamic and they're always releasing new features and new products that provide even more levels of detail. They also create a custom model for you that's based on your close won sales. You can look at intent data that's super personalized to you in your business case. The integrations allow you to use the data that 6sense provides throughout your marketing stack. You can put it into your map, you can put it into your CRM, you can put it into outside advertising platforms, which allows you to really have really strong omni-channel campaigns.

Incentivized

• Initial sync with CRM is relatively effortless
• Signal Data provided for each company is extremely valuable for targeting
• Great Customer success team

Incentivized

• Having better in tool usage reporting.
• Not having to publish segments to SF to see in the dashboards.
• Better in tool profiles (ability to add region & team under profiles) and then being able to filter reports to a person or sales manager would make things more agile.
• Ability to have smaller display campaign audiences (1-1 abm style could use improvement).

Incentivized

• I wish there was the ability to score/prioritize by different types of models (this would allow you prioritize different variations of account "profiles" vs. a catch-all score.
• There could be better contact data, but contact data is hard to come by (unless you're crawling linkedin/email signatures for the real deal).
• This isn't really a knock on Datafox, but I hope for a more robust API integration to other platforms that would benefit from account/contact data (Yesware, ChiliPiper, etc.)

6Sense is a powerful tool, and I’m hopeful that, despite some limitations tied to our sales process, we can make it work effectively for our organization. The customer support is great, and they have listened to my feedback and provided recommendations to improve. The insight we can see is still unmatched and it is easy to digest

Incentivized

The platform is pretty straightforward as far as creating new segments and what's available to do so. The launch of digital advertising has greatly improved in recent months which has been great for our digital team. Adding or removing users and updating integration points is pretty easy as well. Reporting has also been recently updated which makes reporting on usage and ROI much easier too.

I've never noticed it being down but I rarely log into the web interface

Incentivized

Most of the time pages load quickly and the UX is great there are moments like every platform where it is laggy though

Incentivized

We hardly needed any support but in the initial days we got some had to contact support for the product understanding, the suppor t was prompt and they were very quick to resolve any issues. The support team is very helpful and gives a lot of importance to unresolved issues.

Incentivized

It was too fast, too complex, no one could follow along. If you miss a step, you're lost for the rest of the time and there is SO MUCH to learn and keep up with.

dont implement it

We've used a couple other ABM softwares. We've done ZoomInfo, we've worked and partnered with RollWorks as well and there are some other quasi ABM tools and features and some other marketing automation platforms that align but not necessarily have the full breadth of experience and capabilities that 6sense sets.

Incentivized

It is an easy to use tool and the integration with Salesforce works well. Also, it was a real time-saver when it comes to looking for information about companies where you want to make a pitch,

Incentivized

Has been used by a few teams cross functionally and the scalability of this product is great as we continue to grow

Incentivized

• Opportunity conversion, definitely increased opportunity, conversion rates and very high deal size. The size of the deal that is touched by marketing and engaged in 6sense paid media campaigns is proportionately increased versus if they were just an inbound or if they were just work by sales.

Incentivized

• It has no impact on my region because of the lack of information.
• Works only for the teams focused on big companies so SME teams don't benefit from it.
• It is a great tool to prioritize big accounts.
