Considered Both Products
HG Insights Platform
Chose HG Insights Platform
excellent supplementary resource. Again, the HG Insights Platform lacks the contact element of the research.
Chose HG Insights Platform
We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines …
Chose HG Insights Platform
I would say most have more features and integrations but it is easier to use the HG Insights Platform. And the unique opportunity to understand who is using a competitor gives insight into where expansion could happen.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The selection of the HG Insights Platform was a strategic decision driven by our specific needs in a crowded B2B market.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform layers on the CAPDB scoring capability which I have not seen in these other systems. It will even automate this process if you are willing to pay the extra price.
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform has much better technographic data than ZoomInfo
Chose HG Insights Platform
The HG Insights Platform is number 1 in my eyes. I have never found a better source for getting the most up to date information
Chose HG Insights Platform
ZoomInfo Sales and Cognism
Chose HG Insights Platform
unique insights on spend and competitive intel
Chose HG Insights Platform
6sense and Intentsify Intelligence Activation Platform
Chose HG Insights Platform
HG Insights is much more complete with firmographics and technographics data integrated on a large number of enterprise customers
Chose HG Insights Platform
Comparably by ZoomInfo

Definitive Healthcare adds bit more specific to Healthcare Providers
Chose HG Insights Platform
some of our sales team have used similar tools like 6sense and zoominfo, but I have not personally
Chose HG Insights Platform
- Sales Intel seems to be more of a direct competition. Their human research seems to be something interesting. Also the claim to focus on firmographics
- We went with Bombora for intent technology in the past
- We did not move forward with 6sense
Chose HG Insights Platform
D&B Buyer Intent and Comparably by ZoomInfo
Chose HG Insights Platform
HG Insights Platform has a large scale of technographics data
Chose HG Insights Platform
Actually, it was a legacy from the company that bought us so we took over the ownership of the HG Insights Platform as in the Marketing Operations team.

Gartner Peer Insights and Buyer Discovery by Gartner Digital Markets
Chose HG Insights Platform
Intricately and HG Focus use different methods to get to the same means. Intricately's UI/UX is more modern and clean than the others I have come across. Intricately is a newer company and has made a lot of strides since we first looked at them 3 years ago - they seem to be …
Chose HG Insights Platform
Intricately stacks up pretty close to DiscoverOrg. Though DiscoverOrg is a lot more detailed on company information pertaining to changes in the organization and services used, Intricately gives a quick snapshot of company information available right at the point of presence to …

Chose Lusha
Lusha had the best data for international markets, which was a major challenge for us. The others were not able to provide us with data that was nearly as accurate overseas. Zoominfo performed the best domestically but also at a much higher price point, While Seamless and …
Chose Lusha
Lusha is leading in all avenues beside the data provided, in our experience, the data is not the most accurate. This needs to be corrected with being able to provide payment options to small and start up business operations.
Chose Lusha
ZoomInfo appears to have a slightly larger dataset, offering more contacts and deeper intel on companies. It's great for enterprise-level prospecting with complex needs. However, the price tag was significantly larger, and the interface felt clunky compared to Lusha. Lusha is …
Chose Lusha
Lusha it is very similar product in terms of provides mainly correct data in terms of phone numbers being mobiles of directors and co founders as well as email address to contact. Cognism does the exact same as a product, with Lusha giving more accurate sometimes over Cognism …
Chose Lusha
I can always count on Lusha to provide the most up to date contact information. Other platforms will have more data at times but it will be data on folks that no longer work there. The contacts I add into my call cadences sourced from Lusha are more likely to be active …
Chose Lusha
Lusha was simply easier to use, with better contact data as per the anecdotal evidence from my sales reps. It also had a simple interface that did not require much implementation, and a pop-up on where we source our leads, which is linkedin. This led to hassle-free usage and …
Chose Lusha
Lusha is the best for getting mobile numbers, which is the main reason for getting a tool like this in the first place.

I referred Lusha to a sales manager in another company who has a good experience as well.
Chose Lusha
get better data than cognism from what i found and slightl more accurate data and easier to use platform
Chose Lusha
Lusha is a lot quicker and more accurate than cognism is when returning results regarding prospects and targets. It also costs significantly less than cognism. Cognism does, however, integrate with HubSpot which makes it easier during prospecting sessions to get information …
Chose Lusha
Lusha as a platform could have more features, but the quality of what it has is good enough
Chose Lusha
Lusha is much more visually appealing and I love the pop up. Very good for finding "hidden gems" in the form of phone numbers of difficult to reach contacts
Chose Lusha
We previously used infotelligent, which was similar, but seemingly more expensive for nearly the same result. There was a learning curve with migrating over to Lusha, but overall we seem to be doing well as a team.
Chose Lusha
We selected Lusha, but we also used Apollo. Reasons aforementioned in this review.
Chose Lusha
Zoominfo is better, we switched as it was told to us that we'd have more good numbers. Lusha does have a few more good numbers, I believe, but many, many more bad numbers for people in the U.S.
Chose Lusha
Lusha has better data that is more robust that Zoominfo/fills in gaps
Chose Lusha
Using Lusha parallely with Apollo and Mr.E. All of them are good at different features and stand out for their uniqueness. Lusha stands as the best in data accuracy for work emails.

The ease of use is another plus point for Lusha over the other tools in my opinion.
Chose Lusha
These products are very similar. Zoominfo feels more premium as a service but the size of available contacts and the accuracy of the data doesn't appear to be different between the two platforms. We selected Lusha primarily because of price and because Lusha allowed for a …
Chose Lusha
We use ZoomInfo for NA contacts but we found they weren't great for EMEA. Cognism seemed like an OK solution but Lusha looked to provide higher quality contact info.
Chose Lusha
Its cost, chrome extension, ease of use setup and its unique features were all key reasons we chose Lusha over its competitors. Additionally, we loved its accurate data and setup of licenses. I was very happy with Lusha last year and with its new features, I continue to be …
Chose Lusha
Transparent pricing, easy do adopt, same data quality. For phone numbers, Lusha has had much better accuracy, but a little less on volume of emails contacts.

The HG Insights Platform has helped us with GTM planning as we segment accounts amongst our verticals. There are verticals with specific tech stacks that we would like to prioritize, and HG Insights allows us to do that. The account scoring allows us to prioritize outreach efforts. We are able to use the technographics to weigh scoring and assign those accounts out accordingly.

I leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

Pros
  • It works great for seeing if the site or app for a company is hosted on AWS.
  • Intricately uses a different approach (vs the other tools we use) - which helps confirm from another angle.
  • It has a great google chrome plug-in.
  • UI/UX is modern and clean.

  • It shows relevant information of the prospect's company as well

Cons
  • integration with SFDC could be better
  • Sometime provides back an incorrect/no match when a better is available from an uploaded file, though this is getting slightly better
  • A way to gauge how many hits you will get off an intent topic before selecting them so you don't feel like one is going to waste could be useful.
Read full review
  • It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
  • It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
  • No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.

Usability
It’s very easy to use, and the team is very responsive and friendly to work with. The information is unique and usable and can complement some of the data we get from call recordings. The integration with Salesforce is easy to implement and offers good insights into our database.

Simple, clean efficient. No lags and gets us the exact data that we need. No unnecessary terminologies, and it works like a charm every time. From prospecting to lead generation, and intent searching, Lusha is our go to tool and it has stayed ever since we started using it. i would highly recommend.

Platform setup is very easy and friendly. Lusha is not complicated as other competitors like Zoom and Discover org etc.; easy to use and discover candidates for our roles. All of our recruiters find this platform very user-friendly, and they are very happy using this service. Admin support from Lusha is always available, and they are ready to help and educate our team.

Alternatives Considered
We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines to help verify trends rather than being reliant on one platform. Other vendors also offer contact data as well which is integral for our outbound marketing campaigns which HG does not cover. Overall HG does perhaps stack up better than some of these however, it is only one source of data and using multiple is necessary to give a reliable result.

I used a lot of tools, but Lusha is the most accurate and precise data. Other may have a better user experience inside the platform, but it doesn't really matter if the data generated doesn't convert into sales. Lusha also provides phone numbers, which is fantastic, and most of the tools delivers only emails adresses.

Return on Investment
  • I don't massively get involved in financial matters, but the propensity models we use internally to help run our campaigns are certainly a big factor when our sales people approach our clients.
  • Every campaign sold now comes with a flat data fee for us to run and use a propensity model for the activity we complete on behalf of our clients.
  • Whilst the client will never see the raw data behind the model (of which HG does play a part along with our other data sources) they are briefed on the methodology and reasoning behind them.

  • More time Selling, Less Time Searching: B2B selling today is all about how fast you can reach your prospects. Searching for contact information was daunting and painful a few years back. With 1-click imports, integrations and hunts: tools like Lusha are a massive benefit in terms of saving time in the ever laborious task of List Building.
  • Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.
