Cons	in my opinion having to split usage between United States and International does not make sense on why this needs to be done....recommend eliminating this need for improvement on error resolution....when an error is found the D&B resolution team is EXTREMELY difficult to work with...very clunky and automated when there is a need for personnal interaction Incentivized BL Brian LaPalm Director of Research Read full review	Sometimes missing records Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Usability	For more advanced uses, it's hard to get it functioning properly right out of the box. It definitely takes some fiddling to get the systems up and running, especially if you have multiple streams of data that need to be managed across systems.

Alternatives Considered	Not at the top, but pretty good compared to others. The price and overall usability of the solution would put it in the top 5 options from what I have used. If D&B can make more updates and improvements, then there is potential to be better in the near future. Incentivized AN Arthur Norman Marketing Manger Read full review	We used Zoominfo before to help search for new leads, or leads similar to ones that were already in our database. We've found that Zoominfo may have had more records overall, but their data was not as accurate. We were also looking for a tool that could help evaluate our current leads on a more regular basis, something which Zoominfo could not provide. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	ROI can be achieved anywhere between 6 to 12 months depending upon your business. The product is expensive but the data provided is good to an extent and a big sale can help achieve your ROI. The data accuracy sometimes can be bad leading to bad domain reputation.
