"Excellent Resource for Companies"
What do you like best about DataFox?

DataFox has provided a great resource for our team to find additional prospect companies to prospect into. They've opened up a wealth of data, information, and insights into those prospect companies and we've leveraged the tool as a valuable source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

We've had challenges with finding accurate and great individual information on contacts within the prospect companies. I know they're working on increasing and improving their individual data and contact information, which would greatly assist the entire platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for prospecting and maximizing conference success"
What do you like best about DataFox?

I like how Datafox has put a lot of time/innovation into giving reps visibility to the companies they're working with and their presence at upcoming conferences. Not only do they offer solid enrichment of company information but their coverage of software companies (who we sell to) is very broad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

Not much to dislike honestly. I'm not sure if notification capabilities exist where service gives me updates on companies I'm tracking and reasons to reach out in relation to their attendance/sponsorship of shows, but I'm sure this capability exists. Also have not gotten a ton of value out of their SFDC integration, but it could be user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product Great data!"
What do you like best about DataFox?

DataFox syncs and integrates our SFDC data so we not only can pull DataFox data but we can use our own CRM data within the tool. Very convenient.

Accurate company and contact data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

Nothing from my standpoint but from my end-user perspective sometimes little tricky training my new sales reps how to use the tool since there is so much you can do with it, but since we have purchased, DF has had continuous improvements (insights tab, etc.) which is something you need and search for from companies like this.

"high quality data enrichment with the best interface and actionable, real-time updates "
What do you like best about DataFox?

the interface and useability of their web app is far more superior than other platforms that we use. this allows me to easily answer many data related questions. In addition, they offer real-time updates that can sync with slack and provide a ton of value to a sales team. We can elect to receive updates for when targeted companies raise money, hire a new executive, and much more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

They do not have data on # of open position on a company's site which is a strong buying indicator for our company. We are happy to use multiple data enrichment vendors though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Senior Recruiting Manager"
What do you like best about DataFox?

I use Datafox to find new companies to source from that are similar to ones we've had success with in the past (eg similar industry, location, and technologies). I also leverage the signals in Datafox to target candidates at companies growing through change or major events allowing me to engage them at the right time (which is super important in my job). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

Sometimes the contact info for people at the target companies is out of date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for company prospecting - bad for lead prospecting"
What do you like best about DataFox?

Datafox is easy to use and is a great tool for prospecting companies. The extension is also great for seeing info on the website that you're prospecting. They have good recommendations on comparable companies and their data seems to be really valid/up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataFox?

Their UI isn't very intuitive. They also bait-and-switched us when we bought. We were very vocal about wanting a tool for prospecting leads (individuals, not companies) and needed a tool that would allow us to capture company stakeholder emails and phone numbers. They didn't let us trial this feature during our free trial, but assured us they have this info and even showed us the list of our company's users and contact info during the demo period. We felt that was enough info we needed to ensure they had the data (since we weren't allowed to trial that part). It was only until we became a customer and were able to access this feature that we realized that they did not have the level of user data that they lead us to believe. They even used a 3rd party tool to populate the data on our company that they showed us during the demo, but never disclosed that info to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mike Dorsey of DataFox

I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed the company (account) prospecting! We have some exciting, unique updates on this front - both in our chrome extension and salesforce apps. Our focus is on accounts - helping sales & marketing teams align on best fit accounts.

Thanks for noticing our company data quality - we have several teams dedicated to programmatically and manually validating company data. Glad it's paying off.

On the contact info front, I’m very sorry about your experience with it, especially the trial process. It sounds like that definitely didn’t work for you. FWIW, the only reason we limit free trial access is because we have had a few bad actors in the past use the trial to download data without paying. It sounds like we didn’t do this in a way that gave you all the info you needed, which is something we definitely did not intend - I'm very sorry about this. We will work to improve as a result of your input here.

You’re right about our contact info - this is a much newer feature for us (and one we do use third parties for) as opposed to how we meticulously source our own core company data. Sounds like we under-delivered there for you and I’m sorry about that.

Most of our customers use us to manage their account data, rank best fit account lists, find new accounts, associate leads with accounts, and drive outreach to those best accounts using company signals, conferences, and insights. Do you have any upcoming projects or campaigns coming up where you'd like to force rank best fit accounts? Would love to see if I can help you leverage any of this further.

I would definitely like to work directly with you to try to turn your experience into a win, if I can. Will follow up with you directly.
