Conceptual Search for key words helps us focus on very targeted accounts
Standardization in our database We use Conceptual Search for key words and it is the best. Our business focuses on really targeted accounts and this feature helps us a lot. They should increase the quality and quantity of contacts. From my point of view, D&B is an account standardization tool,…

Targeted prospecting has increased campaign success and accelerates pipeline growth
The best features ZoomInfo offers include prospect call numbers, account-based prospecting and insights, integration with other systems, prospect contact information, and positioning with each company. I love the advanced search option which allows us to narrow down search results. I find myself using all of the features the most because they are very helpful and robust as they provide detailed company information where we are able to look at that company and know what we will do after that. ZoomInfo provides prospect contact information and position with each company. It provides advanced search options which allow us to narrow down search results easily and make data-driven decisions easily. Tracking people movement is easy, and Account IQ on accounts most likely to engage is very good. ZoomInfo has positively impacted our organization since we started using this tool by streamlining potential contacts in our organization. It speeds making contact by providing accurate email and phone numbers. It fits into our sales pipeline by transferring data directly to Pipedrive. Since using ZoomInfo, we have seen an increase in our sales campaign by fifty percent. We also achieve better account booking targets. The intent-based approach gives us better conversion.

Pros

"We use Conceptual Search for key words and it is the best. Our business focuses on really targeted accounts and this feature helps us a lot."

"It is a stable product."
"ZoomInfo positively impacts my organization because it helps us do prospecting which in turn helps us get meetings, opportunities and revenue."
"ZoomInfo's data refreshment helps overcome those issues. Overall, it's very user-friendly in terms of filtering and data accuracy."
"Overall, it is a great tool, very easy to use, user-friendly, and cost-effective."
"The overall product is fantastic and it serves its purpose."
"We can easily find the data we need on ZoomInfo, which is why I like it. It has 99 percent accuracy. ZoomInfo almost always provides accurate data for specific roles and markets."
"The best features are all the tools on the back end that help me filter for the prospects that I'm trying to reach, saving me a lot of time and enabling me to book more meetings, generating more opportunities for our sales team and therefore more revenue."
 

Cons

"They should increase the quality and quantity of contacts. From my point of view, D&B is an account standardization tool, not a contact provider like ZoomInfo."
"I think ZoomInfo can be improved by getting the accuracy closer to 99%, as I mentioned it's about 95% accurate, but we do run the information through a secondary source just to validate the bounces, so that would just be great for us and I wouldn't have to run the information through another tool."
"The implementation process must be improved."
"The product's setup process could be easy to understand for new users."
"ZoomInfo could improve data accuracy."
"I think ZoomInfo can be improved by addressing the categorization of some businesses, as there is occasionally outdated information or a lack of information."
"I have not seen a return on investment with ZoomInfo, so I cannot share relevant metrics."
"Sometimes, the data can be lacking or inaccurate, with occasional server issues. I'd like to see these lagging issues addressed. For example, when validating data, there are often discrepancies; a company might show different data counts on ZoomInfo compared to other sources. Improving the integration of accurate data would be beneficial."
"The pricing is way too high."
