Because I haven't only ever used DataFox, I can't compare it to one of their competitors. I can say however that this solution is a hundred times better than scouring websites for company lists and manually assembling Excel spreadsheets.

Apologies - there are a few others that are not coming to the top of my head aside Hoover's but I have experience with 4-5 similar tools. What makes DataFox stand out is its ability to group companies by keyword and insight into transactions.

We've also used RocketReach. All of the others we have tried appear to only provide information that I can easily get from my own Linkedin account, making them a waste of our time & money. We have always come back to Lead411. The breadth & depth of information they provide is …
Chose Lead411
Lead411, provided us more bang for our dollar. Comprehensive information at a good price; after careful comparison, we chose Lead411 because of its value. But it's not a poor man's platform, it's very robust and provides excellent search capabilities too.
Chose Lead411
Data.com - out of business. NetProspex - sold to Dunn and Bradstreet. Lead411 is the least expensive of all legitimate data providers.
Chose Lead411
I do not have experience with other companies. I chose [Lead411] for their generous offer of 50 emails
Chose Lead411
The database they have is much bigger than some other companies I have worked with. Their pricing is also good and is budget-friendly and working on the advanced search function is quite intuitive.
Chose Lead411
We had never used a service such as this and for the price and tools available, it made the most sense for us.
Chose Lead411
The other products we evaluated either had less data or were far more costly. Lead411 has been a good value for us.

Zoominfo is too expensive and Uplead has a terrible trial period and I could not accurately test it before purchase

Chose Lead411
Zoominfo certainly is class when it comes to its capabilities. That said, if you're in a heavy outbound role and you just want to get down to the nitty gritty Lead411 is a cost effective measure to get you the information you need to be as successful as you can possibly be.

Chose Lead411
There are a ton of competitors. Since I've been using them for so long I believe their pricing packages may have changed. However, I found that for the price and functionality they are far and away the biggest bang for your buck. Honestly they are sort of my secret weapon.
Chose Lead411
I've used a number of competing B2B tools and contact/data providers. The contact data from Lead411 has proven to be very helpful with specific campaigns. I'm especially appreciative of the Trigger-Based Sales Intelligence...and look to utilize this MORE!
Chose Lead411
They are great as a backup provider.....we use ZoomInfo as the main provider and are evaluating DiscoverOrg when renewal is up.
Chose Lead411
Lead411 has a better interface. Their database is all cloud-based which meant accessing it from anywhere. Lead411 also provided access to more candidates and sales leads in our opinion.
Chose Lead411
Discover.org was a product I used often at another company but is useless in my new company and industry. They are very limited and industry specific which is a shame considering they offer a good product. Insideview is a comparable product but again we could not find enough …

Likelihood to Recommend
I would definitely recommend DataFox to any sales team that wants their prospecting to be improved. If a company has trouble finding companies that fit their customer segments, then DataFox can probably solve that issue. I took 2 points off and gave an 8/10 because of the inaccuracy that is sometimes encountered in the lists generated and in the employee count.

[Lead411 is well suited for] lead generation where the phone numbers are verified and the email addresses are verified, I find them to have a high rate of accuracy. The ability to filter to the verified information is very user friendly. I do wish the number of verified emails and phone numbers were higher.

Pros
  • Initial sync with CRM is relatively effortless

  • Great Customer success team

  • Most importantly --- The DATA is accurate and the platform is straight-forward and simple to use. The native connection to our CRM environment "completes the requirement" from our standpoint. A "10 out of 10"...
  • From my experiences and interactions, the culture of the organization is exceptionally focused on customer satisfaction! We've been more than pleased with EVERY SINGLE interaction with Lead411....they go out of their way to be of assistance. A "10 out of 10"...

Cons
  • I wish there was the ability to score/prioritize by different types of models (this would allow you prioritize different variations of account "profiles" vs. a catch-all score.
  • There could be better contact data, but contact data is hard to come by (unless you're crawling linkedin/email signatures for the real deal).
  • This isn't really a knock on Datafox, but I hope for a more robust API integration to other platforms that would benefit from account/contact data (Yesware, ChiliPiper, etc.)
Read full review
  • I do get a few emails that HubSpot says "bounced globally" which means I wasted an export. I think it's under 5%, so it's not a major issue.
  • The UI is adequate, but not fun to use. Others with better UIs had less or less accurate data though.

I would rate Lead411’s overall usability a 9 out of 10. The platform is intuitive, easy to navigate, and provides quick access to accurate data. Features like advanced search filters and integrations make it seamless for sales teams. Minor improvements could be made in global data coverage, but overall, it’s highly efficient and user-friendly.

Return on Investment
  • It has no impact on my region because of the lack of information.
  • Works only for the teams focused on big companies so SME teams don't benefit from it.
  • It is a great tool to prioritize big accounts.
Read full review
  • The majority of my closed business since my subscription began about a year ago has come from intelligence and contact information from Lead411, a figure that many times exceeds the cost of the subscription. Fantastic investment.
  • Using Lead411 is like having my own inside sales rep conducting company research, finding out relevant contact information, compiling sales triggers in specific vertical markets, and much more. Frees me up to sit on appointments and sell.
  • Lead411 does the grunt work for you, giving you back countless hours in your sales month for actual selling and moving deals through the sales process, significantly speeding up my sales processes from initial appointment to closed business. My typical sales cycle before Lead411, from initial contact to signed contract in hand, was 8-10 weeks. Since using Lead411, it's now 4-6. Yes, that big a difference.
