Demandbase One vs. Lead Forensics

Demandbase One is well-suited for ABM Marketing, providing intent-based account details, account scoring methods, and understanding account intent. It also enables creating a list of accounts and individuals for retargeting based on specific filters. Easy to integrate with Salesforce, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and multiple other channels. Advertising through the Demandbase channel is more effective for advertisers who use retargeting with the intent list.

When you have people coming to your website and you want to know which pages they look at, how long they are there, and when they leave. Also when you want to know their industry, their company, and what led them to your website. You can really get a customer profile.

• 'Call Prep' - a list of industry-related questions to ask my prospects during the phone call to enhance trust and credibility as a business partner.
• Regularly scrubbed email and phone numbers of prospects. The verified direct-dial mobile number is GOLD. You may be able to get some of these elsewhere by paying extra with a separate standalone service. Having this integrated has improved my workflow, saving time from switching in and out of different apps.
• The family tree of organizations is particularly useful for targeting enterprise accounts that often come with convoluted company shareholding structures.
• 'Challenges' and 'Trends' - information to engage prospects during conversations.

• Lead Forensics helps us see which companies are visiting our site, even if they don’t fill out a form. This gives us a chance to reach out to businesses that are already showing interest but might not have contacted us yet.
• Instead of cold-calling random prospects, we can see which pages a company has viewed and how often they return. This helps us tailor our conversations based on what they’re actually interested in.
• The Lead Forensics support team has been great whenever we’ve had questions. They’re quick to respond and always ready to help, whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering advice on how to get the most out of the platform.

• Under the "highlighted" section there are only 6 accounts to see. It would be nice to have more than 6.
• The engagement is rated in "minutes" while that's not really what is being scored. It's a little confusing as to how their engagement is scored.
• It would be nice to be able to mute or hide of some contacts that we have already spoken to so that it opens space for other prospects.
• Overall happy with the product

• Better updates on companies' current names. Often if a company was a different company years ago it still says the old company name which is confusing.
• Better identifying the correct location. Sometimes it seems like that the location coming up is the wrong location.
• Giving a better understanding of how they got to the website would help too. Often is says "direct" but I would like to know if it was via a link from an email or what

Relatively inexpensive service for a decent current awareness service. They have added little in sales functionality in the past year as they focused on building a marketing version of the product. Except for the addition of broader European coverage last spring (thin Equifax records), the database was static over the past year.

InsideView was extremely user-friendly. I was able to quickly understand how to efficiently use the software and get the most out of the service. I only had a short time to quickly learn how to use the functions offered by InsideView, and I felt confident within the first day of my understanding and ability to successfully use this tool.

Lead Forensics dashboard is fantastic. Lets me see what companies are hitting what parts of the website so I know what to offer them. Often times I’ll offer one thing, only to get told no. Then the client goes to the website and pokes around at other things we offer. Then they reach out to me asking about different services, or next time I reach out I can offer what they were looking at.

Seems to always work.

It's pretty fast.

We had an intro session with a customer success rep and were given a rundown of the platform and it was absolutely perfect. The rep was able to show us advanced search options and shortcuts that cut our search time.

[Their] support is great, [whether] you call or send in an email. They are always friendly and willing to help. Anytime I can’t figure something out and need to reach out, I always get a response back quick[ly] - and they will always offer to go in and make the change, but I like when they show me so I can do it next time.

She was fine, but we only had one session

Seeing the demo during the sales cycle, not much training was needed due to this application being plug and play.

Implementation is trivial. This is a cloud based solution. it is easy to identify companies and execs for alerting.Users looking to use the connections tool must download from social media and Outlook. They then have to upload the files to the platform.While they support custom sales triggers, users must define the key terms which define the event. Users must then wait several hours for the system to build the alert.

We selected Demandbase based on their premium B2B DSP, their integrations with third party ad sites and our CRM and tech stack. Their intent signals and ability to integrate the data we have in Demandbase to GCP through their DataStream product to build our own models and leverage in our own dashboards has been extremely beneficial

I’ve used SalesIntel primarily for contact data, but I haven’t explored its web tracking features. What sets Lead Forensics apart is how quickly it delivers actionable insights from site visits. It helps me identify engaged accounts and prioritize follow-up without extra effort. For our needs, Lead Forensics offered a more immediate impact on sales productivity and customer engagement.

• Demandbase has given us the visibility our sales and marketing team needs in order to see how their top strategic accounts are performing and what their engagement level is like with our brand.
• Demandbase makes it easy for us to scale our efforts because it is an easy-to-use platform.
• We are able to demonstrate ROI and show the impact our Demandbase campaigns are having on our target accounts.

• We are still in the very early stages of using Lead Forensics for our agency, but I can see that it could already be very useful to us as we haven't had insights like this previously.
• Our very first use case with Lead Forensics was with a brand-new client and I would say it went exceptionally well. We were running a large media campaign for them, and it was very insightful to see how those specific businesses were getting to the site and what page they were going to. Like mentioned previously, this helped their very small sales team to go after businesses they know were interested in them.
