HG Insights Reviews & Product Details

We like the product ratings, detailed product/software reviews and details that are available through HG Insights. It's easy to use and manage from our side. We use it every week to cultivate new references and content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some challenges on the back end of the vendor portal that make it hard to get all the data. We don't have access to the full review content unless we ask for it. We also cannot manage our incentive balance through it which causes slowdowns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about HG Insights is that the platform is well structured for use especially for large businesses. It's simple to comprehend especially when finding company data making decision making a bit easier. Ease of integration, implementation, and customer support are smooth without any hassle.

What I dislike about HG Insights is that, the pricing is quite high for an individua/user and a small business. Also, sometimes, the data generated seems oudated which can make it less trustwhorthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite part of HG Insights is being able to see which products each company has installed. It is especially useful when we are working on takeout campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product installations most of the time are 'unspecified product' for a certain vendor. Although, the vendor name is usually sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great tool and a great sugestion from the G2. It helped me with data and insights that improved my paid advertising campaign.It helped me structure better ads, sales funnels and sales script for my team. Having more filters would be even greater tool but so far it helped me generate more sales and create a better sales system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The book demo. I would like a book demo period without the need to talk to a sales team but set up an account and use it just to try it out and refer it to more poeple and coworkers who might need this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is user-friendly with almost 15 minutes of learning curve to navigate and understanding of the tool. It is quite intuitive and has on the go quick onboarding training videos. I was literally expert in utilizing the tool within an hour. The implementation was relatively straightforward, and my colleagues were happy with speed of deployment. The sales onboarding personnel was very responsive and supportive. I accessed the platform three to four times a day to ensure the insights remain current and relevant for my ongoing pursuit. While my company did not integrate the features to its salesforce platform, the tool has ready to plug integration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although HG Insights frequently updates its data, I felt that the insights on niche technologies or markets lag behind. If you are planning for a real niche targetted marketing campaign, I'd give 7 out of 10 for the tool.

I also felt that the customization options for dashboards and reports are limited. There should be flexibility for me to allow changing the list of fields while viewing the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The company level data, including install base information is super helpful, and I like that it shows a level of frequency and timeframe related to the data collected. It's pretty easy to use, and super easy to get started. I've not yet had to use customer support so I cannot speak to that. There really isn't any integration for us since we use D365 as our CRM. I understand there is a workaround, but we are not yet using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a shame they do not also incorporate the contact level details, but there are a ton of other tools for that. Also, I wish it were a bit less expensive, it's a big ticket item for a small organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are looking for the most comprehensive source for information about the technology already in place at our prospects to plan a more personalized 'first touch' with our strategic accounts. This is the best source we have found. Target list creation based on the expansive data set is also valuable. CSM team is responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing model. We'd like to put the SaaS platform in the hands of more users but the licensing model doesn't support that. The export and integration feature with Salesforce arent' as powerful as seeing the data through the UX of the web experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

well-structured and user-friendliness of the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is the pricing—it can be quite steep. Additionally, there are occasions when the data appears outdated, which can affect its reliability and impact confidence in decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Granularity is the most valuable element of HG Insights for me. I like how specific I can make the filters in the opportunity generator and I like how deep I can drill into specific accounts in the company profiles. All of it is very easy to navigate as well.

Exports of lists have been tough to narrow down the size. It would be helpful to know how much can be exported at a given time and to offer filter suggestions if a list is too big to export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The technographic data is unrivaled. This tool provides amazing detail on contracts and spend with every technology vendor you can imagine, and really helps us with TAM analysis, GTM strategies and helps our account teams understand where key displacement opportunities are. The standard company firmographics are also fantastic, revenue, employees, locations, etc. Its become our absolute source of truth for this information and territoty planning.

There are some limitations when it comes to Public Sector and hierarchies. The SFDC integration is somewhat limiting in the ability to use the in-app widget/tab to display HGI data directly in SFDC, and the tool is very cost prohibitive to give all end users access to it.
