Klarity by DemandScience vs. Velocify by ICE Mortgage Technology

It might be suited for someone with a straightforward product based in the US. With a simple proposition that aligns with BI categories on the platform. Someone who has time to check if the data for the leads is correct. Less so for those based abroad or with limited resources.

Velocify is amazing if powered by the right management. Just like any piece of technology, garbage in - garbage out. I suggest making sure your management is well trained so they can ensure their users are effective. Velocify has some incredible talent working there. I suggest making great connections with those on your team and it will help greatly during the tenure of your working relationship.

• Identifies companies within a particular industry
• Presents intent data

• The prioritized queue allows for management to set contact standards and hold users accountable. It removes all the guess work out of what lead to call next.
• The Dial IQ feature is fantastic for powering through calls and maximizing speed to contact.
• The Shotgun lead distribution puts the lead into the hand of the user that is ready and available to call that lead immediately. No handing off a lead to an originator and hoping they call. This feature allows for the system to notify multiple users simultaneously and first user to press 1 wins the lead. Talk about creating a competitive sales environment!

• Better UI for selecting fields within a filter interface E.G., tech Install, and have the fields appear immediately.
• Be able to deselect a filter box without needing to deselect sub-filter features within.

• Velocify would be well served to create a more robust email drip campaign platform.
• Velocify could revamp their dashboards and prioritized views our individuals work out of daily. It's rather overwhelming when working with a lot of leads. Adding interactive graphics - calendars, easy to view alerts, etc would be great. (Big Purple Dot does this well)

I am sure that we as a company are likely to continue using Velocify. I am not involved in the selection process, but I have not heard any negative feedback and switching programs would more than likely be too much work

Fine but could be improved. There are some issues with selecting contacts etc. that could be sorted out without much fuss.

Users can gain a very good understanding of the system quickly. The administrator can use terms that are familiar to their company when setting the system up. Most new administrators error to the side of complexity when setting up the system. With Velocify less is more.

The system is always up!!

If the system is set up correctly it will be a game changer for your organization.

While I didn't speak with the Support team often, they seemed very accepting and reliable. My favorite was the company emails that we would receive whenever something wasn't working correctly so that we would know that it's being worked on, providing a bit of relief to the other employees that were having trouble.

The in-person training if you will is done via GoToMeeting or some other service. I have been told that the moderator goes way too in-depth and too fast.

Velocify offers online training via videos and written descriptions of implementation procedures.

If you plan to have more than 20 users on Velocify you should outsource implementation to someone that knows how the system can best be implemented for your business/process flows. If you have fewer proposed users try to use one of the canned levels.

Price is a big point of choosing DemandScience Intelligence to supplement ZoomInfo. I actually use both platforms. I like ZoomInfo's larger database but the best thing about DemandScience Intelligence is confirmed connect, the ability to easily apply multiple filters, and apply confirmed connect - which is one of the best features.

Before we went with Velocify, we had Salesforce and Hobson's EMT Connect. Both of these systems were rather expensive and didn't give us exactly what we needed for lead conversion as well as the customization we desired. However, I feel that some of the reasons we went with Velocify were not exactly truthful as we found out during the implementation process or much later that there were things they said that they could do that once we started getting into the weeds with it they weren't able to execute. From a lead conversion and speed to lead standpoint, this is a good product. From a reporting and lifecycle management standpoint, this is a very poor product compared to the other two

The system is fully scaleable both vertically and horizontally across the enterprise.

• connection rate is increasing providing SDR's with more opportunities to have conversations, learn messaging quicker and navigate through the company to find the correct poc

• Faster lead conversion lead us to higher potential for "first school wins" philosophy.
• Negative return on time spent maintaining Velocify. Because manual reporting was needed and much had to be done outside of the system, there was a monetary loss of time because of this.
• Predictability was near impossible for us, and the fact that we had to purchase an email automation system because Velocify did not do anything we needed was a negative ROI for our business.
