The price is be high for a small business to have to pay out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saving time and effort versus having to do the manual research.

We quickly pull large lists of contacts that we can add to our SMS and email marketing solutions. We can narrow by title, geography, and what type of contact information that's available for them. I attached a screenshot of what my portal looks like as I am an admin for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oversold underperforming"

0/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

Searching to pre-scrubbed information. It's strictly businesses that you search through so that part is easier. There's a lot of filters, so that's nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

The demo was not really that representative how it'd go. Really should have a trial period of even just 1 or 2 days. Bomboro or whatever it's called seemed to be meaningless, yet was the selling point

Lots of leads ended up being the same business but different depts or businesses that were active, but there was no actual business activity going on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Leads with filters for businesses

Benefits me to have the information in one location.

Problem is it didn't benefit me. I spent a lot of time trying to get data that I wanted, I ended up going back onto 2 different calls, and in the end I just needed to spend more time, you'll get the hang of it type response. You'd think with some professional help I'd have gotten off the phone with a list ready to load into my dialer. I already spent a good portion of the day trying to get what I was after with little results which defeats the purpose of paying $2,500 to make it easy and better.

When I go out, pick a couple towns, do a google search of the type of business I'm targeting, I have done better in just 2 hours of work to get the same number of calls and the bonus is, I'll have a little info about each contact to cold call with giving me better success rates. I thought having the bomboro data finding a business who has been shown to go out and be actively seeking information on a service I'm providing, then my success rates should naturally go up, start talking about the service and I'd expect more of an "oh, well what is it you do with x,y,z" They were as cold as any cold call I've done. Doing the google search I could at least start out, hey I saw your review of X, it looked great! I'd love to talk a little more about that and getting more x's... Something that could be done with D&B's list, but then what is the point of paying $2,500? I may not know the business has done a google search on my services, but that really has not seemed to give any iota of help. That was the thing that sold me.

"Perfet tool for looking up D&B Company Information"

4/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

Hoovers are key in helping our teams navigate the complicated corporate hierarchy and ensuring we have the right account intelligence available to our sellers.

It is also vital for our ability to find more information about our accounts, including firmographic and contacts, though we also use D&B Connect for some of these use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

The biggest issue with hoovers is the lack of showing DNB numbers that are out of business or no longer valid. It hurts our ability to understand our entire book of business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DB Hoovers review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about D&B Hoovers?

ability to create target lists based on multiple criteria. Website keyword filter has been quite impressive for a more targeted list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about D&B Hoovers?

When uploading and matching company lists if I do not have a duplicate of company name column D&B overwrites company name which then makes my data analysis and joining with other sources more difficult. I forgot about this last time and had to retrace my steps to recover original names. Our sales people do not always use legal company names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
