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 …

Hitwise is best suited for looking at overall traffic behavior or a site or industry. It will help you quickly identify the where and the what when it comes to consumer behavior (i.e. what are they doing before they visit your site, where are they going after). It tells you a lot about who they are and what sparks the initial trigger. Where it isn't super appropriate is when you need to look at a specific term like "are eggs healthy" and you can't identify where that specific term falls in the overall "egg" searches.

[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.

Cons

  • Reporting function is hard to deal with sometimes
  • Access to sales/purchase data

  • 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 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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
