DataFox Reviews & Product Details

I like that DataFox enables you to set a wide variety of filters when you search for companies to prospect. Just to name some of these filters to give you an idea of the level of detail, you can search by industry keywords, headcount / size of company, location, revenue, job postings, conferences they're attending, when the company was founded, and my personal favorite is that you can search for companies that are or are not currently in your company's salesforce.

I dislike that the tool populates companies that are outside of your filters. For example, I work for a software company and I am an Account Manager and we sell our software to other software companies. When I want to look up software companies in a certain space, like Accounting Software for example, I set that filter. What I've found however is that a lot of the companies that are populated are involved in Accounting, but are not software. The difficulty this presents is that I have to pick through the list before I start prospecting, otherwise I will waste time/resources on companies that are not even within my search criteria.

Syncs up with Salesforce, great way to create prospecting lists. Layout is easy to read and lists can be converted to excel sheets. Scoring system is fairly accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doesn't have the smoothest integration with SFDC, can be difficult to update info Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been great to be able to create lists of companies in my territory. The list creating feature is definitely one of my favorite features of DataFox as you can find any sort of list online and have DataFox create a list of those companies for you. The HG Data Technographics feature is great too as it helps you see what types of systems/software that a company might already be using. You can also create lists based on many different filters and you can get pretty creative with these filters when creating lists which is why I have multiple lists for companies in my territory.

The employee size count can be off at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Put simply, I love being able to have an updated dynamic list of accounts within my sales territory organized based on campaign criteria I choose - it takes a lot of manual work out of my day. It's great being able to get as granular as I want to as well as being alerted when certain status triggers occur such as when companies within my list have new rounds of funding or go through expansion. The icing on the cake is how seamlessly it integrates with Salesforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be a bit more clarity on the difference between signals vs. alerts which caused some initial confusion but our customer success rep sorted it out promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plug-in to Salesforce is great, they provide CEO contacts which is such a time-saver, lots of the data proves to be correct (things like employee count and recent fundraising), and I love the conference prospecting capability and Slack news updates as well.

I find the notifications that come up on the bottom right can be annoying, and sometimes things take longer to sync than usual, but I just x-out the notification boxes and the customer support is always super helfpul to the sync issues we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datafox provides a simple interface to lots of really useful functions:

- Tracking companies using lists. It is easy to add a company to a list through the browser sidebar, share lists with the team, and download lists to go.

- Finding out what conferences the companies we are tracking will be attending so we can prioritize events that matter

- Easily integrate Datafox with Salesforce so that our Salesforce fields can be added to Datafox filters and list columns

- Great signal tracking for our companies from social media, news, etc., and the ability to select specific signals for alerts. Alerts can be shared instantly with the team via Slack

- Very good customer service: the Datafox team quickly responds to requests for conferences, lists, new companies, and company edits. They even take those crowded "landscape" images that show all of the company logos in a particular sector and make a list for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few improvements that would make life easier:

- I wish the Similar Companies recommendations were more precise. It would be so helpful if this feature could help more to find comparable companies.

- I wish this had a mobile app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Fox has been a fantastic tool for our Inside sales team. Its used daily to assess if we're hitting the right targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not an issue from Data Fox however EU regulations now mean its harder to approach companies in this market, but the Data is still relevant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataFox is a great tool for getting information about companies and alerts when companies you follow are in the news. It is also useful for prospecting within those companies. If the company you are prospecting isn't already in the DataFox database, you can request they be added with a simple click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the profiles they serve up are bare bones and bereft of data, this is often not the fault of DataFox as the companies this applies to are often quite small or are just getting off the ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Account level data is great. Datafox has helped me massively with the de-duplication of accounts, which was a big problem for us. We have tried other vendors in the past for this, and none have been as accurate as Datafox.

I haven't tried their newer feature RE: prospecting with contact level data, so I can't speak to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI on their website is not the best, sometimes I get confused between "List Building" and the "Data Insight" tabs. It would also be great to be able to export lists with a larger number of companies in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the sheer amount of accounts that datafox can pull at once is incredibly helpful for building out initial target lists in sales org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes with larger lists things can move very slow and lists don't load as fast as i'd like but then again downloading information for 1000+ accounts would take anyone a reasonable amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
