excellent supplementary resource. Again, the HG Insights Platform lacks the contact element of the research.

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.

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

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.

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 …

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 …

I haven't experimented too much with other programs, I know a lot of people that recommend HubSpot as the go-to service for this but I really like Prospect. Their customer service is pretty good as well.

User Testimonials
HG Insights PlatformProspect.io
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Prospect.io is ideal for key aspects of our sales process such as repetitive workflow automation , which has enabled us to increase our sales numbers with less work. Other key sales areas where Prospect.io does a great job includes report analytics , contact management , feedback collection, and key productivity controls like task management , emails , note-taking etc Its major flaw is its poor integration capability for me.

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.

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.

  • They could work on getting emails more accurate and guessing better.
  • They could work on changing the drip campaign setup a bit to make it a little more user-friendly.
  • A mobile app would be fantastic.

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.

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.

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.

  • Increased revenue month over month since 4 years ago.
  • Showed others on my team how to use it and they've reaped benefits as well (sales commissions).
