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.

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
  • Initial sync with CRM is relatively effortless
  • Signal Data provided for each company is extremely valuable for targeting
  • Great Customer success team
Read full review
  • 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
  • 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.)

  • 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.

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.

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

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.

  • I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
  • On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
