"Information they provide can be useful, not impressed in their efforts to up-sell."

1.5/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

With the correct module, we can view and correct our data. We can find charges against us and reject them. However, we can not know where the data comes from. I am not aware of any other competitor that can give us this level of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

The least helpful thing is that no affordable module gives you access to the information or useful definitions. So when I was on the basic module that costs money, I was given the option of other paid modules. I had to take one of those, then call someone to turn the auto-renewal off.

"D&B Hoovers for due diligence research"

3/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

D&B Hoovers often has foreign companies that other services do not. I like how easy it is to search by contact, company, etc. from the main search bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

The message that "information may be incomplete" concerns me. I think the message should be consistent on all the material, updated or not. Print the red or yellow or green flag on the actual report! Also, it's not clear how often the batches are updated; is it annual? Also, email addresses for contacts are not consistent in the database. That concerns me, too! We rely on this database for updated contact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering D&B Hoovers:

It used to be the only source we'd use. Now we have other tools that we can check, but I think people still trust DnB Hoovers the most. It often has foreign companies no one else has. I wish it had an easier way to ask questions on a Customer Service phone line at the point of need. I don't like the chat popping up asking me questions while I'm working either! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is D&B Hoovers solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not like having to use credits to get the entities in a corporate tree. If I need to do this, I will go to another product like Mergent or S&P Capital IQ with no credits! The idea of buying credits does not seem reasonable in our Internet driven world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Market Research"

4.5/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

I may use D&B differently than other people. I use the search by SIC code functionality to find niche businesses that we could supply to within specific geographic regions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

I wish that there was a different payment plan. D&B is geared towards sales people who need specific contacts from a company. However as aforementioned, I use D&B for prospecting, and my list will often contain 3000 - 5000 results. I wish that I could download all those emails without using up all my credits, or that there was a different price model geared towards marketers rather than sales people. Also, it would be great if the information was more up to date and verified, because often the email addresses are outdated or wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
