D&B Hoovers

D&B Hoovers is excellent for when you need to find companies that meet certain parameters. It is great at telling you in a neat, summarized way about contact or location information. It is not great at giving you a scope or scale of the company. That typically requires a little due diligence checking against other sources.

• Easy to filter a list of hundreds of contacts to pair it down to just a few key people in either purchasing or engineering departments.
• Searching for a company by their web domain instantly brings up the profile.
• Once I have identified a company I wish to speak with, I can also see corporate linkage to other satellite offices or divisions under the corporate umbrella.

Incentivized

• We should be able to "exclude" words from titles or company names
• Able to access titles and email addresses more easily - not look at list first, select find matching contacts button, then go back to sort to add titles contain and email addresses, etc. This is a two-step process to get what I need.

We have been D&B Hoovers customers for a long time. We know the good and bad, and we have learned to utilize D&B Hoovers for the good and unfortunately we have to look at other data sources to compensate for the areas where they are bad. If D&B Hoovers can get better in these other areas as mentioned in other places in the review, they could get a larger dollar spend from my company

Whenever I had to use D&B hoovers, I never had a hard time with getting what I need. Additionally, when I show the tool to others, they tend to understand the platform quite quickly. The tool itself is very good and straightforward when I use it to help me put analyses together.

Always available on desktop or mobile.

They are terrific at giving instruction/webinars. I am able to call, directly, to an individual and talk to that person. I'm not talking to a robot. They give personal service which is really special.

for our use case, the implementation was minimal and we did not need a lot of help. The D&B Hoovers platform is pretty intuitive and our account manager was ready for any questions that came up when we use the D&B Hoovers platform

D&B is more cost-effective and is by far superior in its search and list-building capabilities. The main benefit (and really the only reason we use it) is that RocketReach has the ability to scan a LinkedIn profile and extract an email.

We're a small company with few users, so scalability has not been an issue.
