InsideView Features

I like InsideView as it very easy to use and you have the access to all the updated news about a company. We mostly use it for competitive analysis and for our marketing programs. The merger acquisitions news or any recent news is also available.

It has ample data, for some region I find the data is not updated.

Best fro ABM campaigns. Updated competitive information available. Can export the lead generation data into excel files.

They should start providing large quantity of direct contact numbers. At times email address are incorrect.

Extremely easy to update records with one click. Also very easy to build lists for exporting.

Only being able to export 2,000 records at a time. Phone numbers for people are generally the main number for the company. Also the address for a person is usually the main corporate address whether the person is at that location or not.

insideView allows me to quickly get a lot of really useful data on companies that would normally take a lot of time to gather.

none so far, this tool is doing exactly what we need it too.

I like the in-depth company portfolio provided on each page. You are also likely to get a decision-maker org chart, or at least hierarchy mapped out.

Specific contact information such as emails and numbers are scarce. I would consider this more of a supplemental research tool to confirm validity of data found elsewhere and find out information such as revenue, and parent company.

Overall, a great tool for anyone on the sales team who are used to working in Salesforce. The integration is super helpful - with the info you need, in an easy to find location.

I've noticed lag times in the integration between Inside View and Salesforce accounts - sometimes the data does not update as quickly as I'd like for sales opportunities.

The ability to update current accounts in our database as well as import new accounts. We also use the family tree to show the account hierarchy in Salesforce. They are very easy to work with.

The family tree does not automatically scan your database to find accounts that you currently have. We've also seen difficultly in updating the Fiscal Year End month in Salesforce.

Completeness and accuracy of data. I am looking for accurate and complete company and contact information. I look for ownership contact information.

Search capabilities. I want to be able to search by very specific company type fields: 8 digit SIC codes, etc. Also I want to be able to sort and sub group sorts. After you search it is not easy to select targets.

The platform is easy to read and the UI is very clean. The best thing about the UI is the ability to get all the required insights with out changing screens.

The accuracy of the data needs to be worked on and apart from the data that is available for North America, it almost becomes obsolete for other regions.

Very helpful when prospecting companies and individuals. I found the company detail information accurate. I liked the integration with salesforce the most and that you could click into the insideview platform straight from a record. I feel that it complimented the information we already had in SF and created a better view of our clients/prospects.

Sometimes it didn't always have company data which I needed for prospecting and then I had to do more research, but that I feel would be a problem with any software like this.

The ease at which we can get the latest update without moving away from the screen.

I think the UI could have been a little better. Although the plugin gives all the data it would be better if could be presented in a more visual manner.

Insideview is really a good tool for sales and business development teams because of the kind of insights and database of contacts it contains.

Insideview is not really effective when your sales teams are working globally. The data accuracy takes a hit once you start moving away from NA region.

I really like the display of everything, it´s really easy to find contacts and it has all the infomation. Its really helpful that you can export a list of contacts.

That it doesnt have so much credits to download contacts. And there is no information about the small companys

Can be easily integrated and support is great.

Very rarely the information lookup can go wrong if other data related to the contact is not correct.

Simple interface with great data. I have made sure that all of our outside reps know the potential of this product. I see it as a tool we must have and continue to utilize.

I found some of the data to be inaccurate - regarding the company size and revenue.

The ability to update current accounts in our database as well as import new accounts. We also use the family tree to show the account hierarchy in Salesforce. They are very easy to work with.

The family tree does not automatically scan your database to find accounts that you currently have. We've also seen difficultly in updating the Fiscal Year End month in Salesforce.

The ease at which we can get the latest update without moving away from the screen.

I think the UI could have been a little better. Although the plugin gives all the data it would be better if could be presented in a more visual manner.

I like the ability to find enterprise data using the mapping tool. I mainly use this for internal data lookups (division, index, and general finance codes)

Overall, I'm very satisfied with using Apex as a general search tool. No major complaint or issues I've run into for occasional use.
