With sincerity, the company has not opted in particular for any of these applications. It has evaluated the benefits and weaknesses of the named applications and other additional ones that are not included in the previous list.

I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We recently switched to ZoomInfo, which we believe is perfectly equal to RainKing (DiscoverOrg).
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We did not renew with RainKing. We chose to go with InsideView, Ibis World and FactSet which provide more accurate data and have very supportive customer satisfaction and account managers. We feel we receive a lot of support in better understanding how to leverage the products, …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
When we bought RainKing they were not yet owned by DiscoverOrg and we considered DO at that time.

I have used Data.com via Salesforce, which I think the org chart and industry feature is easier to understand in Rainking. DiscoverOrg, it has been a while since I used it but I remember liking it. I think the information was not as accurate as the information of Rainking.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
Hands down best tool in its space! The information provided across all levels is unmatched, whether it is about technology or initiatives or org charts or just getting a prospects contact info, I trust Rainking more than any other tool available.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing is far better than InsideView. The information is much more current and correct. RainKing was selected for its focus on IT management and the hygiene of its information. InsideView was very compatible with Salesforce and was actually featured on the Salesforce …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
It ends up that their datasets didn't have a huge crossover so, having used both, I can say that they both had very high-quality datasets. Now that they're one company they have the best data in the world for IT (to my knowledge). Between the two companies, I would say that the …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
This fares well against Sales Navigator because of having the e-mail address and phone number. With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, it does match up well with RainKing when it comes to exporting to Salesforce. I do enjoy being able to see the picture of the individual, as LinkedIn …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
DiscoverOrg recently acquired RainKing. We use both products alongside each other for different departments. RainKing has a robust IT and sizeable C-Level finance dataset while DiscoverOrg had a better finance dataset. Due to the complementary nature of these two offerings …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing's platform is more user friendly than DiscoverOrg and the difference in pricing is substantial. For example, we were able to purchase more licenses than originally planned because of the cost savings vs. DiscoverOrg. The cost difference could theoretically be related …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to …

If you need to characterize the loaded data with statistical parameters, it is preferable to do the analysis previously and only load the results for the software to show them. This does not detract from the software, it is simply impossible to "have the best of everything" in a single application.

RainKing is awesome if your organization is planning on using it to help you acquire more targeted leads that fit well in the space you are going after. I love that there is no limit as to how many companies you can go after. The CSM that I worked with (Will Elchorn) did a superb job of answering any and all questions that I had.

Pros
  • The response of the software to the requirements has been consistently fast. Only in extreme cases where the speed of the internet system present in the site where the tool is being used is extremely slow, we have recorded delays in accessing information.
  • The software allows the possibility of several people located in different geographic locations, simultaneously accessing the same information, without interfering with each other.
  • It has made it possible to detect "information gaps" that were thought to be non-existent, and that resulted in expedited decision-making, to try to fill the gap or to find alternative solutions, not initially contemplated.

  • Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
  • The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
  • Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
  • I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.

Cons
  • It is not functional if it is intended to be used in small mobile screens, since to achieve an adequate visualization of the maps and the side panel, at least one screen the size of a tablet is needed.
  • There are times when you do not want to show (for reasons of confidentiality or for commercial reasons, for example) all the data that is associated and loaded in the database. So far we have not found a way to load the data in a way that ensures that "sensitive data" is displayed only when desired, and not automatically with the data set in general. The option is possible. Research is continuing on this.

  • I'm not a fan of my account manager. He's not the most responsive.
  • There are limitations to the software (ex: I've found several instances where I get a message that says I need to pay more to get information about certain people/companies).

Alternatives Considered
With sincerity, the company has not opted in particular for any of these applications. It has evaluated the benefits and weaknesses of the named applications and other additional ones that are not included in the previous list. As it happens with almost everything in life: there are skills and potentialities of a software that are more applicable in certain fields of work, and for certain characteristics inherent to the data that it handles. Within this same company, there are applications that are more useful for a certain type of data and information and less versatile for others.
More important is the knowledge that must have, about the data and processes involved, the person who has the responsibility of selecting a certain software.

We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to purchase government/federal data. I also really like RK's customer support - they seemed very nice and genuinely wanted to make sure we were getting the best ROI.

Return on Investment
  • It allowed detecting "information gaps" in places where it was not expected that this scenario could occur.
  • It has made it possible to quickly visualize, locations where, although information existed, this information was relatively old, or of low quality compared to that which can be obtained with the most recent technologies.
  • The detection of these scenarios improved the level of satisfaction that the company routinely asks of its clients, who stated that they are highly satisfied with the level of knowledge that the company has in relation to information, especially the historical records, that in our field of action is of high importance.

  • In general can help with more accurate targeting (competitors provide more accurate and granular department designations)
  • It can help with account penetration since it does provide the family tree and it is quite accurate
  • Alerts do help in understanding companies initiatives (however competitors do provide similar service)
