The HG Insights platform provides a view into global industries, markets, and companies allowing users to identify the most valuable opportunities and build strategies to maximize revenue and accelerate growth.
Comscore Ad Metrix provides the best instance of measuring the digital landscape at scale. They have a huge amount of the internet crawled with focusing on just this case.
We use both tools, but Ad Metrix helps significantly for determining industry trends and other more helpful data. We are actually in the process of removing the other tool since Ad Metrix gives us what we need.
They're both fairly similar in relaying data for us on our viewers. We've used comScore longer and are able to compare specific data to one another as well as competitor sites.
I use all three. Personally, I do not like Omniture. It feels clunky and I have to dig to find what I want. I use Google Analytics everyday just because of how much of an industry standard it is. A lot of clients also will use the Google Analytics tool and come to us with …
We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines …
I would say most have more features and integrations but it is easier to use the HG Insights Platform. And the unique opportunity to understand who is using a competitor gives insight into where expansion could happen.
The HG Insights Platform layers on the CAPDB scoring capability which I have not seen in these other systems. It will even automate this process if you are willing to pay the extra price.
- Sales Intel seems to be more of a direct competition. Their human research seems to be something interesting. Also the claim to focus on firmographics - We went with Bombora for intent technology in the past - We did not move forward with 6sense
Actually, it was a legacy from the company that bought us so we took over the ownership of the HG Insights Platform as in the Marketing Operations team.
Intricately and HG Focus use different methods to get to the same means. Intricately's UI/UX is more modern and clean than the others I have come across. Intricately is a newer company and has made a lot of strides since we first looked at them 3 years ago - they seem to be …
Intricately stacks up pretty close to DiscoverOrg. Though DiscoverOrg is a lot more detailed on company information pertaining to changes in the organization and services used, Intricately gives a quick snapshot of company information available right at the point of presence to …
ComScore is great for the research portion of media planning. It's robust with data insights on your client's audience and its competitors, and it manages to house everything in an easy to use platform. It helps gain learning and insight into what channels and tactics we should invest in and what partners are out there in the space.
The HG Insights Platform has helped us with GTM planning as we segment accounts amongst our verticals. There are verticals with specific tech stacks that we would like to prioritize, and HG Insights allows us to do that. The account scoring allows us to prioritize outreach efforts. We are able to use the technographics to weigh scoring and assign those accounts out accordingly.
It’s very easy to use, and the team is very responsive and friendly to work with. The information is unique and usable and can complement some of the data we get from call recordings. The integration with Salesforce is easy to implement and offers good insights into our database.
The staff is available pretty quickly for questions, but are not really around in-person to meet with me and my team. They are able to solve my problems online and do work sessions as needed via skype.

We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines to help verify trends rather than being reliant on one platform. Other vendors also offer contact data as well which is integral for our outbound marketing campaigns which HG does not cover. Overall HG does perhaps stack up better than some of these however, it is only one source of data and using multiple is necessary to give a reliable result.
I don't massively get involved in financial matters, but the propensity models we use internally to help run our campaigns are certainly a big factor when our sales people approach our clients.
Every campaign sold now comes with a flat data fee for us to run and use a propensity model for the activity we complete on behalf of our clients.
Whilst the client will never see the raw data behind the model (of which HG does play a part along with our other data sources) they are briefed on the methodology and reasoning behind them.
