Considered Both Products

Chose Clay
I have not figured out any other product in this space. There is no direct competitor of Clay and that's what makes it different and unique.
Chose Clay
Other products that we're looking at would be DataBar, Persona, and Freckle. Clay is significantly better versus any other products in market due to significantly better data coverage. And due to the flexibility of the UI.
Chose Clay
So I won't say the names, but I said that we've tried some Clay competitors and what we saw is that the data is not as reliable and the enrichment is not that rich than in Clay, for example.
Chose Clay
Honestly, not really any alternatives. I would find it really difficult to think of an alternative because if you have the right pick, basically the cost of switching for me is just too much to look further. So I'm really happy with what I'm getting for my money basically. I …

Clay offers a user friendly consumption based platform that is easy to experiment and scale.

Chose Clay
Clay is much easier to use compared to n8n but n8n beats clay in terms of pricing and data privacy.

Clay is fast and easy to iterate and experiment.
Chose Clay
(I wrote iCustomer but it only recognized HiCustomer - iCustomer is an early stage competitor to Clay) I like Clay because it's easy to get started - the templates give you so many ideas and he community is incredibly strong. no one else has that going for them the way Clay …
Chose Clay
It's just different, honestly. I think it's a good 'out of the box' solution. It's got almost everything out could need in one place. But it's a little too powerful and far too expensive for the true scrappy startup compared to airtable + integrations. And it's too narrow in …
Chose Clay
Clay is phenomenal middle mad, and is better than 6sense. However, data points are not as good as zoominfo. Looking forward to using the sequencer but having ability to have an activity dashboard in salesloft makes it better suited for our needs

Clay is able to integrate many of these tools’ data in a waterfall and capabilities into its workflow.

Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
We recently switched from techtarget to 6sense and I like it a lot more when it comes to account intent and helping you prioritize / recommend actions to take
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I was not the decision maker on why the company chose Tech Target. Personally, I could have used more training on how to get the most out of the platform, but I didn't know what I didn't know
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget has much more specific information. You can see actual names and titles of prospect engaging with content. This makes a cold call a little more warm.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE is a more robust and complete tool for our requirements. Onboarding and ease of use is another area where it comes out on top.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
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 …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget Priority Engine integrates well with Salesforce. I'm able to keep track of all the prospects and it gives me valid contact data.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I didn't select TechTarget, but I do appreciate the content information that it provides.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE in my mind is a blend of the two. It has pretty accurate contact info, and also great at sending the reports that I mentioned. While demandbase uses a scoring system for targets, TechTarget Priority Engine just sends the name. so it's nice to check it against DB and get a …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
They are different tools and don't directly compete.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
Each has its perks. Using them in conjunction with each other will deliver the best results. TechTarget Priority Engine gives info on items accounts are searching for and what is relevant to them today. It provides specific conversation tracks to create opportunities (current …

Sales automation is the most suited use case of Clay. You could generate GTM motions that are auto triggered by the signals, so you could actually create workflows that are triggered on specific signals. For example, a company gets new funding, you can reach out to the company within in a matter of minutes and you can track a lot of news that's happening on Google or using RSS feeds. You can patch that news into Clay and then manipulate that and get insights out of it. The second best use case is the data enrichment or data cleanup. Usually companies have CRMs with messy data. You can import that. Clay has native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Marketo, and you can import those lists into Clay and then clean the data, enrich the data, and then push that forward, update the data in the CRMs. That's the second best use case that I use it for and would recommend it for.

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.

Pros
  • Pros, I think there are a lot of pros, so I mentioned a couple of them already, so being able to use different data providers. I think being able to massage the data, I call it a data orchestration where I can get different points of inputs of data. I can throw everything in Clay and then I can make all the changes before I use them for campaigns, for email, for LinkedIn, for whatever reason I'm going to use my data, but it's really easy to enrich, it's really easy to do research. It's really easy to build agents that tie to each row in your dataset, like there are a lot of things that you could use it for that are huge pros.

  • 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.

Cons
  • A max column limit. I run into the column limit all the time and kind of have to figure out using multiple tables. Just bugs really. I mean if you start getting too crazy on it, I feel like takes a long time. You can't really identify that it's working or if it's not. So that kind of slows things down a little bit.

  • 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
I think it's actually before the launches today, I would say eight, but after they launch, what's the name of the product? I dunno if it was the web intent or the sculpture. 10, because I think that the sculpture was the missing part of plates till now.

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.

I would find it really difficult to think of an alternative because if you have the right pick, basically the cost of switching for me is just too much to look further.

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
