"Makes my life so much easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

If you are trying to source businesses you could pretty much use Grata and nothing else. The search is very good (using the "find similar companies" feature is my go-to) and the email verification and data enrichment seem to get better all the time. At this point, I rarely need to use other platforms to find valid contact info. The way information is displayed is very digestible and it's really convenient to quickly check out the actually company website and linkedin. The extension is also something I probably use dozens of times a day. It's a great way to get a quick sense of how big a company is, is it growing, and what kind of investment (if any) it has recieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

Sometimes navigating lists is a little challenging especially when you start to drill down into "similar companies" within a list. I have also noticed there are some companies that seem to pop up almost no matter what I'm searching for. These are really minor though wouldn't rise about the "nuisance" category.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Glad to hear Grata has been so helpful and that you like our accurate contact info and similar search feature. Thanks for sharing your experience! If your lists are in similar industries or there's enough variance in your lists, a few of the same companies may come up as suggestions. We will share this with our product team as we continue to update our algorithm!

"Easy to use and reliable"
5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

I love how easy it is to use Grata, specifically how you're able to narrow your search using filters and how robust the library is. In my research I don't believe there's another tool out there that is better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

I wish the revenue figures were more accurate, but given that companies are private I understand how that is harder to come by. However, understanding more about the methodology for each company (and what informs the degrees of confidence) would help me to put things into context Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thank you for the feedback, we hear you on revenue estimates. If you go to "View Methodology" within the revenue estimate, you should be able to read how we calculate these estimates. We have even more transparency coming soon. We're thrilled to hear that our contact information and user-friendly search is helping you develop lists.

"Grata has been a game changer for us"
5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

The speed and efficiency of building a targeted list. The customer service is top notch and the support we've received from Abdel and his team has been incredible. 2022 was a test year for us, and we've extended our subscription for another two years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

There's a slight learning curve to developing an accurate list, and you want to screen the entire list before downloading or you will get a lot of targets that are not relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thanks Mike, we love hearing that Grata is helping you efficiently build a targeted list, and that you appreciate our Industry categorizations.

"Comprehensive Database for Private Companies"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

- Data: just recently updated their database with more companies, catches 99% of companies out there

- Search Engine: very comprehensive search function with a ton of options including but not limited to industry, end-customers, revenue size, location, fundraising situation, and most importantly, keyword searches with customizations in includes, excludes, and groups

- Export: easy to navigate and has a lot of data columns in the default setting

- Service: the team responds fast with customized data cleaning and scraping service available

- Google Chrome Extension: cherry on top, saves the hassle of going into Grata by simply going to a company website and opening the chrome extension Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

- The algorithm for the comparable company function could be better as it sometimes does not really catch similar companies

- Revenue estimate could be more accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thanks Ryan, we love hearing that you're getting value from our comprehensive search function, and that our Google Chrome extension is the "cherry on top".

What do you dislike about Grata?

Since there is an AI component to Grata's operations, the data is not always 100% accurate or complete, but it is the best tool out there to get you 80%+ of the way there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thanks Christian! We're glad that Grata's web data and filter features make it easier than ever to identify potential investment opportunities.

"Nimble platform with room to grow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

We love the platform's ability to deliver the insights and prospects we care about while making software the most crucial part of the experience. Other platforms rely on overseas data input while investing less in software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

It would be great if the team invested in AI to build a sourcing profile around the types of businesses we like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thanks Mike, it's great that you love the platform's ability to deliver the insights and prospects you care about. We also appreciate the feedback, and our team is actively utilizing AI to improve our company profiles.

"Grata Makes BD Easier - Solid Contacts, Awesome User Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

The web application is highly customizable, and there are many ways to save searches and lists and receive signals about relevant changes or additions to your content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

Grata is still a young company with 6 years of history, so I know my qualms are on their roadmap. There aren't many downsides, but they need a mobile app and an Outlook integration. They have the data, but it's still, understandably, up to the user to monetize that data via e-mails, calls, etc. Streamlining the outreach process would make Grata a true "one-stop shop" for business development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thanks for the positive review! We're happy to hear that you're finding success with our searches, and that you're receiving updates on relevant changes and additions to your company targets.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

Grata is constantly introducing new features such as NAICs based search and industry conference information. CRM integrations better too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

Some of the search algorithms need improvement. For example, searching for 'similar companies' is not reliable after the first handful of companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thank you for the feedback, Dairo. Similar to Google, Grata ranks the best results highest, which is why you'll typically see higher quality results on the first page. We're currently making updates to the similar search algorithm that will further improve reliability of results. In the meantime, we would recommend adding keywords or other filters to further scope results. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

"Essential for our outreach and research efforts"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Grata?

I haven't come across any tool on the market with so many filtering features and indicators so you can be confident in the data you're scraping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grata?

The price is too dang high. i wish Grata had a month to month option or was able to charge by the credit for those who don't want a yearly subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Brissette of Grata

Thank you - it's great to hear that our filters help you zero in on company targets
