Hull CDP (discontinued) vs. Leadspace

If you are a fast scaling team using segment and slack, Hull is a must. For your sales reps trying to understand the activity of customers/prospects/users of your applicaiton, there is no easier way to surface that information than using Hull. We've been thoroughly impressed by the wide use cases and integrations Hull can offer and we use it many times a day. 100% would recommend this tool

Leadspace simplifies the process of gathering, normalizing, and validating data. As it is a robust tool, it allows us to focus our efforts on creating demand. Because it is the source of truth, we use it to enrich all incoming data and organize records into scales. We would, however, appreciate having more industry-specific data. We are working on combining and unifying various industry data sets so that they can be ingested into their enrichment values.

• Good fit for our SME marketing/ Sales Tech stack. Integrations like HubSpot and Clearbit are native and easy to use within Hull- and it was one of the only providers that fit that criteria when we were vetting options.
• Ease of Use. Hull is fairly intuitive for a casual user. The only real questions that came up for us were doing the data-mapping phase when we mapped fields against Hull.
• No database to maintain. A critical selling point for us, and something which has freed up a fair amount of engineering time on an ongoing basis has been that Hull, unlike Segment, didn't require us to maintain a database.

• Reachforce Smart forms - pumps up conversions with fewer fields, while getting high quality/accurate data company and contact on the back end
• Reachforce data is second to none
• Reachforce standardization is a lifesaver when doing things like segmenting, direct mail, etc.

• I am not sure about new features, if they are rolling out or what!
• It might also be valuable to see the responsiveness of things triggered through Hull, sometimes data takes a bit longer than expected to trigger a workflow (but never really more than a minute so not a huge deal really...)

Incentivized

• Data quality on contact level is not accurate as we would like. I noticed even the data we get from D&B is not as accurate as would like. It is understandable because people change their jobs so frequently in our industry. We received high bounce rate from our email marketing. We did the random review of our own data against their data and found some contacts' info has not been updated and is wrong.
• Smartforms integration can be tricky for the first time users.
• I wish they refreshed their data more frequently than quarterly.

Nothing else to add

We had initially identified Segment as a solution due to the number of integrations they supported. The problem is that with Segment we would have still had to build and maintain a database along with query tools. Overall Hull emerged as a better starting point for us

Incentivized

We chose Leadspace after evaluating several other suppliers in part because of their ability to give localized addresses for contacts, enrich with personas, and provide predictive intent data for contacts. Among other things, they've exceeded expectations in all three of these areas and more.

• No ROI. I invested in it for months and promised functionality was never delivered

• Account Management team from Leadspace is very helpful in helping us to understand the product in detail.
• Enrichment of data based on company and person helps the organisation to plan & execute better.
• Can get the customized details from Leadspace team based on our needs
• The feature "persona scoring" helps in defining our key target personas using job titles, job levels and technologies and now when new leads come into our database, they get scored against these personas and this drives a key part of our lead scoring model and campaign segmentation
