UpLead is the best lead database in terms of price per lead and provided the most accurate and valid emails.
It constantly updates their list and adding new people, companies and removes bad leads. However, you need to very careful when you are filtering and sorting data, and any wrong selection can cause tons of garbage leads/ emails.
It allows us to send the information directly to our CRM, saving me time and keeping us organized.
We especially appreciate the real-time email verification feature of UpLead.
Improvement on the search capabilities - since there is so much to search (which is a plus) it makes it harder to do this in a timely manner. You have to dedicate a certain amount of time to be able to pull a proper, useful and clean list.
Make it more user friendly - there are so many different tabs, search buttons, pull down, etc. I think it can be quite confusing to a new user.
The tool is simply better than most other lead/company data repositories, and they are dedicated to keeping their data clean, even if they are far from accomplishing this task at present. The tool works, and it is relatively easy to use. Overall, DiscoverOrg provides the level of lead/contact, customer, and even industry level data the sales orgs have come to expect from this sort of tool in a format that is fairly easy to use. They do also provide support for sales teams looking to use the tool effectively, which is great!
The tool is robust, it's powerful, it's accurate, and it's extremely helpful and pivotal in my current banking sales role. I could not succeed without UpLead's accurate data and contact information. I'm thankful that such an incredible service exists at such a fair and reasonable price, thank you for the value that you provide your customers and thank you for making me a very successful salesman and wealthier man
ZoomInfo acquired DiscoverOrg and I believe legacy DiscoverOrg will phase out in the near future. ZoomInfo is 100x better than DiscoverOrg and are very pleased with it's functionality and easy of use. We only selected DiscoverOrg because we were on an auto-renewal contract and did not unsubscribe in time. We did not plan to renew DiscoverOrg. But since then we have been upgraded to ZoomInfo and are finding much more value in that platform than we did in DiscoverOrg.
These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. So, there was a high chance when using ZoomInfo that a large number of my emails were bounced back as the email ids were either fake or didn't even exist in the first place.
DiscoverOrg has had a positive impact on prospecting for the sales teams. It's increased efficiencies to be able to create a list of 1000s in less than 2 mins. It's been able to increase our number/rate of outreach, reduce time to prospect & increased our sales velocity to generate opportunities at a faster rate.
The negative impact it has had on our team is that the sale team cannot use DiscoverOrg and it has to be used through our sales ops team because of permission issues/access issues.
The ability to reach a large list of prospects has provided an ROI. We are getting a Return on Investment. I just am not the one who manages the costs so don't know to what extent it's paid for itself.
