Considered Both Products
Highspot
Chose Highspot
I think Drive is a lot more intuitive, but it’s hard to know what is allowed to be public or private in Drive. Additionally, Drive doesn’t have the best way to send content, whereas Highspot offers a better solution for that.
Chose Highspot
Sharepoint has been difficult to search (not a very powerful user interface or search filtering functionality). Brainshark didn't provide everything we wanted.
Chose Highspot
Showpad is very similar to Highspot, but we found Highspot more user-friendly and [has] a better interface, so I have not actually used Showpad.

As for SharePoint, we still use this for other reasons at our company, but we used to share files with our sales team, and it is …
Chose Highspot
We use Highspot in conjunction with our other programs and it works great. We are able to use the features and functions from each to help us with our daily outreach and have an idea of what is working and what isn't.
Chose Highspot
Highspot has a more elegant way of displaying the assets, whereas Google just organizes everything by folders.
Chose Highspot
We did not review other vendors. We used Google Drive to store and maintain marketing materials before Highspot, and that was not efficient.
Chose Highspot
From an investment perspective, Highspot was very reasonable in price for both the main platform and the LMS. The ease of use and management seemed to be a lot less than some of the others we looked at. If we had a more robust solution, I could see where there could be value …
Chose Highspot
We previously used Google Drive for all of these resources, so Highspot was a considerable upgrade.
Chose Highspot
We don't need extensive screen share capabilities, and Highspot is a great value for the cost. Ease of sharing department-wide materials was a huge plus for us, as well as the ease of use with adding new content.
Chose Highspot
They're pretty similar from a content management perspective, but Showpad has a lot more to offer outside of that. Highspot's searching algorithm seems better.
Chose Highspot
I have never used a tool/platform similar to Highspot.
Chose Highspot
We used Showpad for the last few years, however, since switching to Highspot our team has actually seen more success and collaboration. Our sales enablement directors are able to leverage better marketing materials for our sales and BDR agents leading to higher conversions from …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is great for metrics and for tracking interactions. It is very user-friendly and really easy to start engaging. The possibility of tracking both employees and prospects/clients is one of the best features. It is easy to implement and everyone can see how they are …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is so much more versatile than Google Drive. Its feels more secure and easier to organize content. It is also much more Sales Focuses and allows for collaboration and features to share content clients with tracking.
Chose Highspot
Although I was not privy to the selection process, our product marketing manager was extremely heavy in selecting the right tool for our Sales team and collaborated with us to figure out exactly which features we needed, and what we didn't. Highspot checked all the boxes and …
Chose Highspot
We felt like Highspot had a better user interface and was easier to navigate. We like DocSend and it works much like Highspot. At the time it was a more expensive solution that had essentially the same features.
Chose Highspot
Dropbox was sufficient for storing content in an easy to access space but, provided us no value beyond that. SharePoint actually made us less productive due to the amount of time our sales team had to spend searching for the right piece of content. Neither solution provided …
Lead411
Chose Lead411
We've also used RocketReach. All of the others we have tried appear to only provide information that I can easily get from my own Linkedin account, making them a waste of our time & money. We have always come back to Lead411. The breadth & depth of information they provide is …
Chose Lead411
Lead411, provided us more bang for our dollar. Comprehensive information at a good price; after careful comparison, we chose Lead411 because of its value. But it's not a poor man's platform, it's very robust and provides excellent search capabilities too.
Chose Lead411
Data.com - out of business. NetProspex - sold to Dunn and Bradstreet. Lead411 is the least expensive of all legitimate data providers.
Chose Lead411
I do not have experience with other companies. I chose [Lead411] for their generous offer of 50 emails
Chose Lead411
The database they have is much bigger than some other companies I have worked with. Their pricing is also good and is budget-friendly and working on the advanced search function is quite intuitive.
Chose Lead411
We had never used a service such as this and for the price and tools available, it made the most sense for us.
Chose Lead411
The other products we evaluated either had less data or were far more costly. Lead411 has been a good value for us.
Chose Lead411
Zoominfo is too expensive and Uplead has a terrible trial period and I could not accurately test it before purchase
Chose Lead411
All other tools are max capturing information from a website or other sources. Mostly they are landing into toll-free numbers or customer support. We people in our organization looking for board numbers which direct to decision-maker easily.This tool resolves the issue for us. …
Chose Lead411
So far, in my short month using this program, I have managed to land business with two companies! The pricing helps.
Chose Lead411
Lead411 is nice because we have control over the searches.
Chose Lead411
So far it has been the most consistently reliable services we have used for this purpose
Chose Lead411
I have had more success with Lead411 during a trial period compared to their competitors in terms of reaching the targeted prospect by email.
Chose Lead411
Zoominfo certainly is class when it comes to its capabilities. That said, if you're in a heavy outbound role and you just want to get down to the nitty gritty Lead411 is a cost effective measure to get you the information you need to be as successful as you can possibly be.
Chose Lead411
False or wrong information. Lusha gave me someone's phone number, very embarrassing calling the wrong number. Lusha gave me wrong telephone numbers right off the bat. Some are tied to only LinkedIn and no search feature. UpLead hard to learn and wrong email addresses or company …
Chose Lead411
There are a ton of competitors. Since I've been using them for so long I believe their pricing packages may have changed. However, I found that for the price and functionality they are far and away the biggest bang for your buck. Honestly they are sort of my secret weapon.
Chose Lead411
I've used a number of competing B2B tools and contact/data providers. The contact data from Lead411 has proven to be very helpful with specific campaigns. I'm especially appreciative of the Trigger-Based Sales Intelligence...and look to utilize this MORE!
Chose Lead411
They are great as a backup provider.....we use ZoomInfo as the main provider and are evaluating DiscoverOrg when renewal is up.
Chose Lead411
Lead411 has a better interface. Their database is all cloud-based which meant accessing it from anywhere. Lead411 also provided access to more candidates and sales leads in our opinion.
Chose Lead411
Discover.org was a product I used often at another company but is useless in my new company and industry. They are very limited and industry specific which is a shame considering they offer a good product. Insideview is a comparable product but again we could not find enough …

Great for delivering insight on which personas are engaging with the material shared. If I've had multiple meetings with personas, but they have not engaged with my proposal, I'm now able to understand the priority of our partnership and how it ranks within their other initiatives.

[Lead411 is well suited for] lead generation where the phone numbers are verified and the email addresses are verified, I find them to have a high rate of accuracy. The ability to filter to the verified information is very user friendly. I do wish the number of verified emails and phone numbers were higher.

  • Most importantly --- The DATA is accurate and the platform is straight-forward and simple to use. The native connection to our CRM environment "completes the requirement" from our standpoint. A "10 out of 10"...
  • From my experiences and interactions, the culture of the organization is exceptionally focused on customer satisfaction! We've been more than pleased with EVERY SINGLE interaction with Lead411....they go out of their way to be of assistance. A "10 out of 10"...

Cons
  • The search function can cause some issues if the platform is not set up correctly.
  • It can be hard to build pitches - I wish it was a little easier to maneuver
  • It seems like the tracking does not always work for pitch views.

  • I do get a few emails that HubSpot says "bounced globally" which means I wasted an export. I think it's under 5%, so it's not a major issue.
  • The UI is adequate, but not fun to use. Others with better UIs had less or less accurate data though.

I love Highspot, it saves me a ton of time every single day. I like how my correspondence looks professional and I know what I'm sending is accurate and company approved. I'm able to add it to an email template in seconds and choose multiple brochures if it fits the information the student wants or requested. I can also customize templates to make them company specific when appropriate

Usability
I use Highspot every day. It is basically my go-to spot to find anything I need to know about the product, like pricing and internal processes. It also helps me provide value-added emails to my prospects with extreme ease. Without Highspot I would not have the current success that I have right now in sales.

I would rate Lead411’s overall usability a 9 out of 10. The platform is intuitive, easy to navigate, and provides quick access to accurate data. Features like advanced search filters and integrations make it seamless for sales teams. Minor improvements could be made in global data coverage, but overall, it’s highly efficient and user-friendly.

Support Rating
I have not needed any customer support until now, I guess this is because they work on a proactive maintenance of the platform. We have an internal team working with Highspot so if I need help I go to my internal team not directly to Highspot. I have never heard any complaints.

Return on Investment
  • Highspot has created more efficiency within our Sales team as reps no longer have to "hunt" for up-to-date collateral
  • Highspot helps us understand what collateral gets deals in pipeline
  • Highspot aids in new employees getting ramped easier and faster with one location to review training content

  • The majority of my closed business since my subscription began about a year ago has come from intelligence and contact information from Lead411, a figure that many times exceeds the cost of the subscription. Fantastic investment.
  • Using Lead411 is like having my own inside sales rep conducting company research, finding out relevant contact information, compiling sales triggers in specific vertical markets, and much more. Frees me up to sit on appointments and sell.
  • Lead411 does the grunt work for you, giving you back countless hours in your sales month for actual selling and moving deals through the sales process, significantly speeding up my sales processes from initial appointment to closed business. My typical sales cycle before Lead411, from initial contact to signed contract in hand, was 8-10 weeks. Since using Lead411, it's now 4-6. Yes, that big a difference.
