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,…

Offers the ability to customize the filters, like targeting specific job levels (executive, manager, etc.) and real-time updates
There are many areas for improvement. For example, unlike 6sense, ZoomInfo lacks features like lead scoring, that focuses solely on data. Sometimes, it is really difficult to identify the right data. In my experience, around 30% to 40% of the records extracted are bounces or invalid, making it cost-ineffective. I spend a lot of money purchasing data from ZoomInfo, but end up with low quality and a high bounce rate, yet they still charge for those bounces. ZoomInfo could improve data validation by introducing features like integrating with bounce-checking tools, removing invalid records, and ensuring better quality for customers. This may affect pricing and revenue, but it would benefit customers. A data cleanup feature within the admin tool would be helpful.

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."
"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 product's setup process could be easy to understand for new users."
"The team should look into enriching their database, especially for the European and Middle East region."
"We face difficulty while collecting data from small companies."
"A data cleanup feature within the admin tool would be helpful."

What needs improvement with ZoomInfo?
Most of the time, we cannot find the address, and the information is old. We have not found recent information. That is a problem. I have two more tools.
What is your primary use case for ZoomInfo?
We use it to find out the value of companies. That is the main focus.
