Considered Both Products
6sense
Chose 6sense
We selected 6sense because it was the had all of the capabilities that we were looking for, plus a little more. We took our time with the decision and met with the vendor multiple times, in the end 6sense was the leader in the categories that we cared about the most, segments, …
Chose 6sense
I doesnt stack upto any platform I used before. It's the worst tool i ever used
Chose 6sense
6sense has a greater ability to match users versus Metadata.io which on par has matched 65% of users, versus 85% with 6sense.

6sense also has much higher lead quality, compared to Metadata.io. We're seeing much greater influence, and trajectory.
Chose 6sense
We chose 6sense because:
6sense offers deeper/better, more actionable AI-driven insights into buyer intent
For its comprehensive view across the entire funnel
Chose 6sense
I previously used Bombora and it was very vague, however when 6sense acquired Bombora that was very helpful and took 6sense to another level providing even more insight when combining the services and technology. My understanding of this is that there is strength in numbers …
Chose 6sense
6sense is more built for enterprise businesses like ours.
Chose 6sense
We selected 6sense due to the Sales Intelligence features and orchestration capabilities, over its competitors.
Chose 6sense
Overall, 6sense made more sense to our company when comparing it to the others in the market. the integrations with our tools was a breeze and the sales enablement side of 6sense was easy to follow and in a place that makes sense for them.
Chose 6sense
Did not see the same overall benefits of 6sense after exploring other solutions.
Chose 6sense
Much better data and ease of use. We are able to really get deep into which accounts are viewing our ads or visiting our website.
Chose 6sense
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 …
Chose 6sense
There's something to be said for just a very seamless user experience. I think that's paramount, especially when you're trying to align sales and marketing. You're never going to get a salesperson to say, "oh, I want to sit here and learn this tool." You need to make it super …
Chose 6sense
I think 6sense has a much more robust intent data. I don't remember that Terminus really had much into the sales intelligence. The custom model and all of that, that 6sense has did not have at Terminus.
Chose 6sense
6sense sales team spent a lot more time with me building out a use case and example to take back to my team. I appreciated the support and felt confident in getting the help I needed to implement the tech.
Chose 6sense
To be honest, we didn't look very deeply at the product as we are satisfied with 6sense.
Chose 6sense
6sense intent signals are more rich and impact-full that anything with Zoominfo. 6sense provides intent signals that are much more attractive for our sellers as it not only provides the intent but identifies where a company might be in their buying journey. That information can …
Chose 6sense
We are too early in the implementation to confirm the quality comparison of data.
Chose 6sense
Demandbase Advertising, Terminus ABM Platform and ZoomInfo Marketing
Chose 6sense
6sense had multiple predictive models which was a no brainer for us.
Chose 6sense
Bombora and 6sense have pretty similar capabilities e.g. providing surging account lists.
Chose 6sense
The data we get from SI is worlds ahead of Seamess.ai and we are much happier with this data being GDPR ready etc.
DemandScience
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science was less expensive when quoting cost per lead than Tech Target. Other than that, the program sounded almost the same. I selected Demand Science because I was price sensitive while trying to test whether the tactic of content syndication was effective for us.
Chose DemandScience
Mainly in the flexibility of targeting
Chose DemandScience
Demandbase and Demandbase Advertising Cloud
Chose DemandScience
DS has a huge database and therefore lead count within the niche audiences and industries.
Many other lead partners are specialized in one industry. DS is capable of delivering in multiple industries, which is awesome if you target different target audiences as well. There is a …
Chose DemandScience
TechTarget Lead Generation, Madison Logic Platform and Foundry
Chose DemandScience
Over the past year we've utilised a variety of content syndicators, approximately six or seven in total, as we believe in maintaining a diversified mix of suppliers to ensure comprehensive and well-rounded marketing efforts. While all these platforms have their individual …
Chose DemandScience
I've only used DemandScience for content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
I've not used another content syndication company, and I probably won't after the lack of results we've had. I have used direct email organizations, and they are stronger but also more expensive, so you have to weigh your priorities. I could see if you were selling a specific …
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science has the largest audience in our target groups, which is exactly what we need, as we always require high volumes of leads.
They are also very good when it comes to account management, we always feel that they are there for us, and if we ever have any issue, they …
Chose DemandScience
We have used other media vendors from the likes of Madison Logic, Inbox Insight etc.

However, it has been the direct feedback from the client, great customer service and competitive CPL rates that have influenced our choice.
Chose DemandScience
I would say it is similar to Madison Logic when it comes to the quality of leads and customer service. We are yet to see results coming from GumGum's contextual approach but from a content syndication perspective they are one of the more reliable ones out there, especially for …
Chose DemandScience
We have used Tech Target in the past which is much more expensive than Demand Science but lead quality is the same across both vendors
Chose DemandScience
Similar offering to other content syndication offerings. Of 12 tested partners in the last year, DS ranked 7th in Opportunity Rate and 4th on CPL rate.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is a good tool, but doesn't measure up to some other more tech-oriented content syndication players. Taboola is an excellent tool that has a very good user interface to set up the launch and monitor campaigns.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is easy to use.
Chose DemandScience
Demand Science's communication skills through email against the ones selected is great! when it comes to getting preview links to go live in the markets they are quick to generate these. As well as getting them amended as per our request, we never have any issues with this …
Chose DemandScience
All vendors have their strengths and weaknesses. Due to the scale of activity we do on behalf of our clients, we tend to always use a basket of vendors to deliver the lead volumes we require. DemandScience is always on the preferred partner list and will thus be considered for …
Chose DemandScience
Again, the main draw to DemandScience was primarily the Scale available across all markets we attempted to target and garner leads from.
Chose DemandScience
Madison Logic Platform, BrightTALK and TechTarget Lead Generation
Chose DemandScience
Good for quality appointment setting, poor against content syndication.
Chose DemandScience
DemandScience is on the more preferred half of vendors due to their negotiated CPLs and willingness to step up to the plate.

User Testimonials
6senseDemandScience
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

DemandScience is great if you are looking for the ability to target very specific titles, roles, companies, etc., and receive high quality leads. They have an incredible scale compared to other partners my team has worked with, but their leads also perform very well down the funnel. This is not always the case because oftentimes, a partner will have room to scale well, but the leads are colder. I'm really impressed with how well DemandScience targets and also with how quickly they respond to me when I have any questions. Recently, my DemandScience rep reached out because he wanted to get our targeting more honed in on our ideal customer. He wanted to work with me to see down-funnel data (where possible and allowed) so that we could create a more targeted campaign. Other partners have never put this kind of time into our partnership.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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).
Read full review
  • Management and attention to detail - several items slip through the cracks.
  • Coordination between account management and invoicing has been sloppy.
  • Better intent data to match profiles.
  • Connecting the download to the actual sponsor - often heard, "We never downloaded XYZ."

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

It works well for lead generation but renewal will depend on the strategy and budget at the point we need to renew to see if it will align.

Usability
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.

The leads were pretty straight forward. However, their appointment setting did not integrate well into our system and many of the meetings didn't occur. I had to chase a lot of prospects and many times Demand Science didn't provide direct dials.

The DemandScience Activate CSM team is always helpful and attentive to our organization's needs and goals.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
