Considered Both Products
RainKing (discontinued)
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We recently switched to ZoomInfo, which we believe is perfectly equal to RainKing (DiscoverOrg).
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We did not renew with RainKing. We chose to go with InsideView, Ibis World and FactSet which provide more accurate data and have very supportive customer satisfaction and account managers. We feel we receive a lot of support in better understanding how to leverage the products, …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
When we bought RainKing they were not yet owned by DiscoverOrg and we considered DO at that time.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
I have used Data.com via Salesforce, which I think the org chart and industry feature is easier to understand in Rainking. DiscoverOrg, it has been a while since I used it but I remember liking it. I think the information was not as accurate as the information of Rainking.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
Hands down best tool in its space! The information provided across all levels is unmatched, whether it is about technology or initiatives or org charts or just getting a prospects contact info, I trust Rainking more than any other tool available.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing is far better than InsideView. The information is much more current and correct. RainKing was selected for its focus on IT management and the hygiene of its information. InsideView was very compatible with Salesforce and was actually featured on the Salesforce …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
It ends up that their datasets didn't have a huge crossover so, having used both, I can say that they both had very high-quality datasets. Now that they're one company they have the best data in the world for IT (to my knowledge). Between the two companies, I would say that the …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
This fares well against Sales Navigator because of having the e-mail address and phone number. With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, it does match up well with RainKing when it comes to exporting to Salesforce. I do enjoy being able to see the picture of the individual, as LinkedIn …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
DiscoverOrg recently acquired RainKing. We use both products alongside each other for different departments. RainKing has a robust IT and sizeable C-Level finance dataset while DiscoverOrg had a better finance dataset. Due to the complementary nature of these two offerings …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing's platform is more user friendly than DiscoverOrg and the difference in pricing is substantial. For example, we were able to purchase more licenses than originally planned because of the cost savings vs. DiscoverOrg. The cost difference could theoretically be related …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to …

Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
We recently switched from techtarget to 6sense and I like it a lot more when it comes to account intent and helping you prioritize / recommend actions to take
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I was not the decision maker on why the company chose Tech Target. Personally, I could have used more training on how to get the most out of the platform, but I didn't know what I didn't know
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget has much more specific information. You can see actual names and titles of prospect engaging with content. This makes a cold call a little more warm.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE is a more robust and complete tool for our requirements. Onboarding and ease of use is another area where it comes out on top.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget Priority Engine integrates well with Salesforce. I'm able to keep track of all the prospects and it gives me valid contact data.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I didn't select TechTarget, but I do appreciate the content information that it provides.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE in my mind is a blend of the two. It has pretty accurate contact info, and also great at sending the reports that I mentioned. While demandbase uses a scoring system for targets, TechTarget Priority Engine just sends the name. so it's nice to check it against DB and get a …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
They are different tools and don't directly compete.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
Each has its perks. Using them in conjunction with each other will deliver the best results. TechTarget Priority Engine gives info on items accounts are searching for and what is relevant to them today. It provides specific conversation tracks to create opportunities (current …

RainKing is awesome if your organization is planning on using it to help you acquire more targeted leads that fit well in the space you are going after. I love that there is no limit as to how many companies you can go after. The CSM that I worked with (Will Elchorn) did a superb job of answering any and all questions that I had.

TechTarget would notify us when prospects looked us up by name or specifically researched areas where our product would prove beneficial. It did a great job gauging legitimate interest from the prospect and gave an idea of a timeline as well so that we could understand their urgency.

Pros
  • Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
  • The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
  • Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
  • I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.
Read full review
  • Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
  • I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
  • TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

Cons
  • I'm not a fan of my account manager. He's not the most responsive.
  • There are limitations to the software (ex: I've found several instances where I get a message that says I need to pay more to get information about certain people/companies).
Read full review
  • The site loads kind of slowly. It seems like it takes a while for all of the information to populate on the screen.
  • I would like to be able to make calls directly from TechTarget Priority Engine.
  • Give real time notification when a prospect is on our site.

I'm just a business user of TechTarget so I really haven't had the chance to gauge what the support is from a customer standpoint. Given that we recently rolled it out and everyone is utilizing it daily I would assume that their support is strong enough for us to continues to use it.

Alternatives Considered
We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to purchase government/federal data. I also really like RK's customer support - they seemed very nice and genuinely wanted to make sure we were getting the best ROI.

TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read a white paper or downloaded a brochure, which made my timing for prospecting much easier. I do believe ZoomInfo's company directories are more robust and wide-spread

Return on Investment
  • In general can help with more accurate targeting (competitors provide more accurate and granular department designations)
  • It can help with account penetration since it does provide the family tree and it is quite accurate
  • Alerts do help in understanding companies initiatives (however competitors do provide similar service)
Read full review
  • I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
  • On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
  • I recommend they develop better training for first time users specific to a variety of use cases
