Likelihood to Recommend

HG Insights Platform is best suited for scenarios where organizations need data-driven account targeting and market prioritization. It’s highly effective for go-to-market planning, helping sales and marketing teams identify accounts most likely to convert based on technology usage, spend capacity, and firmographic fit.It’s also ideal for territory and partner planning, enabling alliance and channel teams to align with partners that have complementary technology ecosystems or shared customer bases.

Great platform for software install and spend data

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

August 13, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the HG Insights Platform to supplement our market-level and org-specific understanding of software spend and technology installs. It can be a very helpful platform for understanding how different cuts of customers or prospects may be spending their budget on software or building a pertinent tech stack. It can also help us understand tech install overlap and directional market sizes. Great platform.

Pros

Extensive data coverage
Engaged customer support

Cons

Granularity of data in certain niche areas
Customizability / exportability of market intel

Likelihood to Recommend

Really strong platform for understanding software installs. Also good for fairly granular tech spend cuts. Not quite as powerful if you operate in niche markets.

Using the HG Insights Platform as the primary firmographic base for building or matching account lists that meet criteria for any given campaign

Rating: 8 out of 10

August 13, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use install and intent data to help feed our propensity models and gauge what accounts are interested in speaking about and what problems they may have that need solving. We also use the HG Insights Platform as the primary firmographic base for building or matching account lists that meet criteria for any given campaign. When consolidated with our own data base as well as a few other brokers we find that we have a good overall feel on where any one account might be in a buying cycle.

Pros

Split of Intent between Evaluating and Researching
Wide range of products available in the technographic data
Accurate firmographic information
Expansive number of estimated budgets
Cloud Relationship of an account

Cons

integration with SFDC could be better
Sometime provides back an incorrect/no match when a better is available from an uploaded file, though this is getting slightly better
A way to gauge how many hits you will get off an intent topic before selecting them so you don't feel like one is going to waste could be useful.

Likelihood to Recommend

For someone working in B2B IT Marketing, the HG Insights Platform has a wide range of data available that is suited for both a data level employee as well as an ISR. The one draw back is the integration with SFDC isn't as great as we'd like, meaning it is more manual for us to run propensity models using more than one source of data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The HG Insights Platform is helpful in researching leads and data enrichment for the accounts in our database. It has a unique feature that allows you to see the software stack for each company they have a profile on and follow softwares tagged with similar categories to your product. I also find it easy to use and integrate with our CRM.

Pros

Tech stack tracking
Ease of use
Integrations with our CRM

Cons

Connectivity to our marketing software
Ability to admin (create users, etc) independently
More robust enablement

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the HG Insights Platform is a useful tool for revenue teams with a SaaS product but unlikely to be as useful to non-software companies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I think the HG Insights Platform is a great platform that we use to leverage information mainly around research of IT stack behind various companies. It allows us to identify which incumbent solutions they may already use that may require a modern stack upgrade or consolidation.

Pros

Easy way to use filters to drill down into particular geography etc.
Ability to cross reference multiple data sets
Great vizualisation tools to make information easier to digest

Cons

It would be great to see more AI supported personalization and recommendations
More frequent data refresh
More APIs so it can custom fit different applications

Likelihood to Recommend

The HG Insights Platform is ideal for strategic leaders who need to define their Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Available Market, and Serviceable Obtainable Market. By analyzing technology adoption, IT spending, and market trends

It is nice that you can create a running updated at with the HG Insights Platform data. So you can essentially establish the company changes over time i.e. growth or product changes. This is a neat feature.

The HG Insights Platform has been a significant piece of our GTM motion

August 13, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our products perform best with specific connectors. The HG Insights Platform has allowed us to find prospects with specific tech stacks that would work best with us and implement with ease. The account scoring model has also helped us prioritize our outreach efforts amongst our BDR and AE orgs. The third area in which HG Insights has helped a lot is finding new opportunities that we do not have already in system.

Pros

Specific technographic searches
Account Scoring
Opportunity finding

Cons

More nodes for account modeling, (look at historical performance, etc.)
Out of the box reporting that easily allows you to find companies with multiple specific products
An easy way to find out why an intensity score is where it is.

Likelihood to Recommend

The HG Insights Platform has helped us with GTM planning as we segment accounts amongst our verticals. There are verticals with specific tech stacks that we would like to prioritize, and HG Insights allows us to do that. The account scoring allows us to prioritize outreach efforts. We are able to use the technographics to weigh scoring and assign those accounts out accordingly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the HG Insights Platform at Google in our partner team to help our partners identify their ideal customer profile and where to focus their efforts co-selling with us.

Pros

Helps identify our target audience
Helps us find out available budget by department
Keeps us from wasting time and resources on an account we may want to sell into, but that just isn't in the market to buy right now.

Likelihood to Recommend

The HG Insights Platform works when you know who is your ideal customer (ie, what characteristics you are trying to uncover.) Some people don't understand this and expect it to do more than this.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an ISV Specialist at Google and the HG Insights Platform has enabled me to dive into deeper insights with my ISVs while simultaneously helping me generate more valuable leads for my ISVs and for Google. On top of that, it has helped me save a lot of time in my day-to-day so that I can focus more on my ISVs and my actual responsibilities.

Pros

prioritizes "high-value" accounts
improves my ISV's sales campaigns
helps me understand my customers' competitive landscapes

Cons

insights on specific niche technologies can sometimes lag behind
customization options for dashboards are limited
high cost (it's free for me through work but I have heard this from others)

Likelihood to Recommend

The HG Insights Platform helps me prioritize high-value accounts. It has helped my customers identify prospects that are using complementary or competitive technologies, along with helping me identify new opportunities for my customers so that I can provide deeper value to my customers and vise versa.
