AreoLeads is the only tool that I have found that gives this kind of information gathering/help. I have found many of the competitors to be more expensive and less reliable when gathering lead data. AeroLeads provides an easy to use professional service at a lower price point …
Chose AeroLeads
We wish AeroLeads would work more closely with our CRM from a database management perspective. We would find that very helpful. Prospect.io seems to do a better job of linking with Pipedrive and creating the lists and marketing emails we need.

One of the best thing I found free email verifier through which I was able to verify my old leads as well and for my assignment that was something efficient way I found to get connected with the people.

Zoominfo has much more rich data, longer lists of persons, and more accurate descriptions and estimation of business sizes, both in terms of revenue and personnel. However they are very focused on United States, so their coverage of other parts of the world is really limited. …
Chose D&B Hoovers
I currently use Lexis AI for similar work. I find Lexis AI to have better overall company summaries but it is a bit more over the top when it comes to reviewing site contacts and the like at a medium size company. D&B Hoovers streamlines this a bit but could take notes from …

I've used Candid GuideStar in the past, though for different reasons than D&B Hoovers. I mostly only use D&B Hoovers now and will continue to do so.

They are the imcubment for our company and though we have issues with D&B Hoovers their price to performace has been good and we plan to keep using them.

We evaluated a few other tools including ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but D&B Hoovers emerged as the best overall fit for our hotel sales use case due to its depth of company data, broad industry coverage, and powerful geographic filtering capabilities. Our primary …
Chose D&B Hoovers
D&B Hoovers stacks up well against the other tools, however our teams tend to use a combination of all 3, depending on their area of focus.
Chose D&B Hoovers
All platforms are great and help a great deal, but D&B Hoovers is a dedicated space for whitespace and outreach. Also its a trustworthy referral internally at SAP when researching accounts and making GTM decisions.
Chose D&B Hoovers
D&B Hoovers really provides more in-depth business data and technographic insights, offering a wider scope of company information and more advanced analytical capabilities.
Chose D&B Hoovers
Crunchbase offers a similar product but is more tailored for start ups and small business. Even then it does not have the complexity that Hoovers offers.

Chose D&B Hoovers
D&B Hoovers is A LOT better than PitchBook. It is much easier to navigate and the data is far more accurate. However, I think CoStar does a better job with real estate related data. Specifically, lease expirations, tenants and owners. These are important factors I look for in …
Chose D&B Hoovers
D&B Hoovers is more cost effective, and acts as a comprehensive data source, which is specially beneficial to teams like sales, where research and prospecting and lead gen is key
Chose D&B Hoovers
Honestly, because of our satisfaction with D&B Hoovers we have not actively looked into other alternatives in the last 8 years. We selected it originally because of the price, reputation, and we had a client using it at the time that recommended it.
Chose D&B Hoovers
Zoominfo has more accurate data and better functionality with its navigation tools. But Zoominfo is too expensive for us to use at this time.

Finance Analytics provides a more thorough company credit report and is more in-depth than Hoovers. However, I use Hoovers for instances where I do not need that information because it allows unlimited queries, whereas you pay for a limited number of reports from Finance …
Chose D&B Hoovers
For company data, D&B wins hands down. Contact and lead information is a toss-up. The information provided was usually a match to both, and I wouldn't say one was better than the other by a wide margin. It really depends on who you are researching. Both did not do well with …
Chose D&B Hoovers
Pitchbook has richer financial details which I am typically more interested in. D&B Hoovers search functionality is usually a little more reliable and the total size of database appears much much larger. I'd say Pitchbook goes an inch wide and a mile deep, whereas D&B Hoovers …
Chose D&B Hoovers
D&B Hoovers is more comprehensive overall, but may lack health-care specific data that these other solutions provide. D&B Hoovers is great for prospecting the direct to employer space.

Chose D&B Hoovers
we have both platforms and I use them interchangeably. D&B Hoovers is great because I can export more contacts. Zoom info is a bit more strategic with the use of filters like "with intent" and also has a better company overview page. Both are good platforms that can be used …

AeroLeads is well suited for small to medium-sized teams who run basic marketing campaigns (outbound) and have mediocre requirements of finding lead data. It also suits freelancers and consultants who want to generate leads and send cold outreach campaigns at a lower price.

D&B Hoovers is able to help immensely when doing a prospecting research regarding an industry or a company. I use it a few times a month. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to use. The lists and reports exported from D&B Hoovers are easy to integrate to your presentations and research.

  • I use the visitor intelligence and it will tell me what office from a company has visited our site. I'll, in turn, go through D&B Hoovers to find the relevant contacts that we would benefit from speaking with at that company. I will call or email them, and it's just in a few months we've been using visitor intelligence has led to several ongoing conversations of companies who will become clients and it's an annual calculation to due. It's an ongoing relationship.

Cons
  • The plug-in can sometimes cause a lag in LinkedIn. It would be good to have a more obvious toggle to turn off the plug-in when I don't wish to use it.

  • I'd prefer if the company size estimates were omitted when there is no data behind it to work off of
  • I've never heard from an account rep
  • Training resources? These could already exist but just connecting the dots to them for user would be helpful

Do not have any complaints or problems with the current subscription. Unlike before, the service is also very quick and responsive. We don't have to be on their heads for any trouble. Also, the data we are receiving is very satisfactory and competent, thus we won't be looking for any other tool in the near future.

The D&B tool has really open up new opportunities for us and really helped the business. Additionally, on a personal level, the platform is very easy to use and I never had any problems with it. From there, I was also able to build some interesting analyses that helped me grow within the company and land me where I am today. I do not use it as much as I used to, but I know what I can do with this tool if needed.

I think it could be better, easier and faster. Whenever I chat with someone it takes so long to get to an actual agent, and then when I finally get to one, they oftentimes don't have the answers for me or do not understand what I am asking, which is very frustrating.

Online Training

The training sessions were well-structured and covered the key functionalities of the platform, making it easy to get up to speed. The trainers were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, which added value to the learning experience. However, a bit more in-depth coverage of advanced features and use cases would have made the training even more beneficial.

  • D&B Hoovers allows me to make the most of my time when searching for companies within specific industries. Once I find a company and examine their profile, I can then generate a list of employees in the purchasing and engineering departments. The profiles for each listed employee contain cell phone, Email address and LinkedIn profile. This information helps me to bypass the companies front desk and get directly to the people I need to speak with.
  • By knowing the specific job title for the people that I am contacting and then being able to click on their LinkedIn link to learn a little about them before I make the call, I come across as a sales professional instead of an impersonal cold-caller.
  • In cases where I do need to go through a front desk receptionist whose primary mission is to screen out sales people, I find that three out of four times the receptionist will connect me to the specific employee because I know their name, department, and job title. The Intel provided by D&B Hoovers makes it possible for me to get to the people I need to speak with.
