Considered Both Products
LeadFuze
Chose LeadFuze
MUCH more economical solution compared to Zoominfo. The platform is always being updated and made better and better. This is a perfect solution for businesses of any size.
Chose LeadFuze
Lead Fuze focuses on the data from LinkedIn users. It is much easier to set up a campaign in Lead Fuze and then connect it to automation. With LI Sales Navigator, you have to do more work and I'm not convinced that it provides the best data, though I can't prove that. LI Sales …
Chose LeadFuze
While we still use Autoklose for automated email outreach, we switched to using LeadFuze for list curation for our lead generation programs. While both tools are good we found LeadFuze to offer a much larger database as well as more filter options to build the exact curation …
Chose LeadFuze
Pearlfinders is up to date and comprehensive with its reports and refreshes its data every qtr. They provide much easier targeted data and also on specific projects that are hot. It's more about deeper rich content that just lead gen. It provides a reason to call, not just a …
Chose LeadFuze
LeadFuze has more filters than other software I've been using such as FindThatLead and Snovio and that gives me the chance to drill down even further into specific niches. Also, the system is really more user friendly and simple to use even more than other software I used in …
Chose LeadFuze
Hunter is really friendly, but it lacks data in some cases, and [doesn't find] the right positions for each email which is a shame. This is where LeadFuze does a much better job. At the end of the day, I am counting more on LeadFuze than Hunter in terms of accuracy.
Chose LeadFuze
I found LeadFuze a few years ago and have always looked to them first given the great product and customer service. I go in and out of active membership depending on what my consulting projects demand. Great value given the price point.
Chose LeadFuze
I don't even want to compare. We have a great plan with LeadFuze and we are really happy!
Chose LeadFuze
We have mostly worked with independent and overseas contractors in the past before trying a service such as this one, and even though we may not have other companies to compare it to we also don’t have any reason to try others. I foresee us utilizing the service for a very long …
Chose LeadFuze
Leadfuze has unlimited data, which simply makes it a no-brainer, especially for SaaS companies, looking to target various verticals through email campaigns. Propsect.io is simply a Chrome extension and doesn't have the extensive filters like Leadfuze.

Chose LeadFuze
LeadFuze is just the best, plus the customer service is second to none. Whenever I have a need or question I can get their staff on the phone to help answer my questions and queries. That's important in helping us move quickly and not waste time sitting around waiting for …
Chose LeadFuze
I've looked into GetProspect for mining validated emails, but it didn't have two of the features that ultimately lead me to LeadFuse - the Technology Used filter and the Google AdWords Spend filter... As a marketing agency, these are great for prospecting my own client leads, …
Chose LeadFuze
Leadfuze makes it easy to automate the processing of prospects in volume, and is much less expensive than Navigator, which won't allow for email follow-ups, as well as building more sophisticated outreach campaigns using automation.
Chose LeadFuze
I was using a cobbled up, barely legal way of getting leads. LeadFuze is more cost effective, quicker and legal!!!
Chose LeadFuze
I tried Aeroleads, Seamless.AI, and LeadIQ before this.

Those platforms can be good, but the problem is it requires you to manually click through Sales Navigator at some level. They also either have limits or require a lot more clicking.
Chose LeadFuze
We selected LeadFuze because it's a huge time-saver. To get the same quality of leads (ie, those that match our search criteria) would take us much more time and effort using other platforms.

We prefer not to name the other platforms out there, but we have tried many of the …
Chose LeadFuze
We have not used another system like LeadFuze because it has provided exactly what we need at a price that we can justify.
Chose LeadFuze
I've used a few manual scraping solutions but LeadFuze simplifies the entire process and is a great all-in-one solution

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is much more valuable than Dice or Cognism, as we do most of our prospecting on LinkedIn. Therefore, it means we can build lists of our prospects based on activity, connections, and buying intention. With Cognism and Dice, you cannot do this as they do …
Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the best at finding leads, in my opinion. However, it's not the best at finding contact information. You need a combination of ZoomInfo + LinkedIn Sales Navigator + Outreach in order to actually contact leads. Apollo.io does all of that for you in …

I personally do not like the UI of Zoominfo and above all, it requires a lot of manual work to get the details of the prospect/company.

Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
I've had the chance to evaluate ZoomInfo, use Seamless, and RainKing. All of them work better used with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It's not an either or choice. The best way to use Sales Navigator is with another lead identification system.

LeadFuze is great for B2B companies that need an all-in-one lead generation outreach program. This software allows even novices to curate targeted lists and run outreach programs at scale. It is well suited for small or large teams and both the marketing and sales team can benefit from the program. It is also a useful tool for HR, where you can curate lists of qualified candidates and reach out to them proactively.

As a new scale-up business, we are heavily focused on winning new business; businesses like ours cannot function without it, as we would not be able to build target profiles, create new business lists, and establish product-market fit. It's a key tool in our sales and GTM strategy.

Pros
  • LeadFuze is easy to use. Like any software it takes a little getting used to.....but the product works and it is providing leads to help grow our business.
  • Support is quick and helpful. I even had the owner on chat with me a few times. You are going to get stuck once in a while. The LeadFuze support team with get you out of trouble and back making money.
  • There are a lot of good leads available. And more are added on a regular basis. Can't ask for more than that.
  • Cost is reasonable, especially when compared to PPC.

  • Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
  • Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
  • Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.

Cons
  • We were doing simple text emails that were coming out of sales peoples inboxes so this functionality wasn't totally needed on our end at the moment, but we imagine that we would have wanted to do more with customizing emails in general.

  • Inbox needs work - too much confusion around your LinkedIn inbox and Sales Nav inbox
  • Sorting - need a better, faster way to sort by for prospect lists and account lists
  • Only voluntarily shared information. No cross checking or using API’s like a ZoomInfo

This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.

Usability
LeadFuze is super easy to get going and start to work with. There are videos to walk you through it but all you have to do is fill out the form that tells the system what kind of leads you're looking for and you're good to go - it does the rest of the work for you!

It lets you pull people with specific titles in specific areas and with the criteria you choose--job changes, mutual connections based on schools, roles, and companies, etc. It is easy to upload these lists into other software or download and save them to a drive.

Support Rating
Very poor again. I booked 3 demonstrations with them, the first failed to support due to tech issues, the second one failed to arrive for the meeting, as did the third meeting arranged. I had difficulty trying to find anywhere to engage online with them, so the customer experience is very low down in my opinion.

I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.

I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.

Lead Fuze focuses on the data from LinkedIn users. It is much easier to set up a campaign in Lead Fuze and then connect it to automation. With LI Sales Navigator, you have to do more work and I'm not convinced that it provides the best data, though I can't prove that. LI Sales Navigator only lets you run one search at a time. With Lead Fuze, you can run as many as you want (I think)

In my opinion, ZoomInfo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator serve different purposes. ZoomInfo is more for providing accurate contact information, while LinkedIn Sales Navigator is more for identifying the exact contacts you want to market to. Being built on top of the LinkedIn social network, it is ideal for nabbing the same person you need from each organization.

Return on Investment
  • The amount of time I spend on prospecting for clients is so minimal that it barely registers on my calendar, and time is money.
  • I can offer the same lead generation efforts for my clients at a large profit margin, since I can have unlimited lead lists and automate the service for them as well... They feel my team is spending hours mining LinkedIn for laser-targeted leads, but we simply have it running in the background.

  • Helped warm up a few leads that I was having trouble getting in touch with via phone and email
