Definitive Healthcare vs. Forward

I think the best scenario for using Definitive Healthcare is if accuracy isn't very important. If you just want to spam a lot of people and you don't really care where the contacts land, they're your vendor. If, on the other hand, you like accuracy and are hoping the commercial list vendor supplies data that will help your business grow, I feel they are less well suited to those use cases.

• Provides a list of hospitals, health systems, medical groups, and practices
• Helps show what locations are under certain systems or groups
• Gives insight into specialties and employee counts

• Outdated UI and lacks integration with popular software
• Account Management team is unempowered to solve problems or come up with creative solutions.
• Slow response time. I waited 3 weeks for a response from their team on a question.
• Database lack key contacts especially Director level and above. Poor tool for sales team.
• Poor customer service. I constantly felt like I was chasing them for a meeting or on questions.

It was unusable for us because key contacts were not there and our sales team had to tell Definitive what contacts were missing. Waste of time and money.

Account Managers and team often do not respond for weeks at a time.

I use both. Definitive Healthcare is better when you need specific hospital and clinic names. ZoomInfo only gives you a local address but refers to each location as the health system name so hard to define where particular people are from.
