That is the best feature by far. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solving problems with account management for enterprise sales. Main benefit is realizing which accounts are the most valuable. ### 21. A Good Tool For Finding Companies (But Sometimes Inaccurate) **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shane F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** I like that DataFox enables you to set a wide variety of filters when you search for companies to prospect. Just to name some of these filters to give you an idea of the level of detail, you can search by industry keywords, headcount / size of company, location, revenue, job postings, conferences they're attending, when the company was founded, and my personal favorite is that you can search for companies that are or are not currently in your company's salesforce. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** I dislike that the tool populates companies that are outside of your filters. For example, I work for a software company and I am an Account Manager and we sell our software to other software companies. When I want to look up software companies in a certain space, like Accounting Software for example, I set that filter. What I've found however is that a lot of the companies that are populated are involved in Accounting, but are not software. The difficulty this presents is that I have to pick through the list before I start prospecting, otherwise I will waste time/resources on companies that are not even within my search criteria. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Datafox is a solid tool when it comes to assisting you in finding companies to prospect. It's a lot better than trying to piece together prospecting lists with Google. That being said, be prepared for some inaccuracy in the company searches you do. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Without Datafox, we would have to use basic google searches to find different software in different spaces like event management, cyber security, accounting software, etc. Then we would need to manually enter these companies into a sheet so that we can import them into salesforce. Datafox comes in and cuts out a lot of the manual labor there. It populates large lists of companies, and though sometimes the lists are mildly inaccurate to the filters, it is still very helpful. ### 22. Great for gather company **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Syncs up with Salesforce, great way to create prospecting lists. Layout is easy to read and lists can be converted to excel sheets. Scoring system is fairly accurate **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Doesn't have the smoothest integration with SFDC, can be difficult to update info **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** prospecting- lists are easy to create and filter by DataFox score. ### 23. Very helpful for BDR/SDR roles **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean P. | Business Development, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** It's been great to be able to create lists of companies in my territory. The list creating feature is definitely one of my favorite features of DataFox as you can find any sort of list online and have DataFox create a list of those companies for you. The HG Data Technographics feature is great too as it helps you see what types of systems/software that a company might already be using. You can also create lists based on many different filters and you can get pretty creative with these filters when creating lists which is why I have multiple lists for companies in my territory. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** The employee size count can be off at times. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me have an easy to use list of companies in my territory where it gives me information about the company, any sort of funding that the company may have had, and what software the company might be using. It also gives information such as HQ phone numbers and their location which helps as well. ### 24. A Powerful Prospecting Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew S. | GCP | Apigee API Management, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Put simply, I love being able to have an updated dynamic list of accounts within my sales territory organized based on campaign criteria I choose - it takes a lot of manual work out of my day. It's great being able to get as granular as I want to as well as being alerted when certain status triggers occur such as when companies within my list have new rounds of funding or go through expansion. The icing on the cake is how seamlessly it integrates with Salesforce. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** There could be a bit more clarity on the difference between signals vs. alerts which caused some initial confusion but our customer success rep sorted it out promptly. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Their CS reps are great! You can lean on them if you have questions and they will get back to you promptly. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** For outbound sales, it's crucial to be able reach the right account at the right time in the most efficient way possible. Datafox has allowed me to cut down on my manual processes and come to work each day with a list of viable accounts that I did not have to build myself. If I wanted to have a campaign targeting medium sized companies, within a certain geographic area, using XYZ tech stack, I could have a list populated easily and that would be scratching the surface of how granular I could get. ### 25. Excellent data, helpful tools, easy UI **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maggie M. | Investment Development Analyst, Venture Capital & Private Equity, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** The plug-in to Salesforce is great, they provide CEO contacts which is such a time-saver, lots of the data proves to be correct (things like employee count and recent fundraising), and I love the conference prospecting capability and Slack news updates as well. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** I find the notifications that come up on the bottom right can be annoying, and sometimes things take longer to sync than usual, but I just x-out the notification boxes and the customer support is always super helfpul to the sync issues we have. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Do it! We love it and recommend it to other biz dev/investment dev/corp dev/all sales teams **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** DataFox helps us source more leads and prioritize outreach more efficiently, improving our CRM's quality of data and our overall success in targeting/reaching prospects. ### 26. Great for finding and tracking startups **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David D. | Associate, Venture Capital & Private Equity, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Datafox provides a simple interface to lots of really useful functions: - Tracking companies using lists. It is easy to add a company to a list through the browser sidebar, share lists with the team, and download lists to go. - Finding out what conferences the companies we are tracking will be attending so we can prioritize events that matter - Easily integrate Datafox with Salesforce so that our Salesforce fields can be added to Datafox filters and list columns - Great signal tracking for our companies from social media, news, etc., and the ability to select specific signals for alerts. Alerts can be shared instantly with the team via Slack - Very good customer service: the Datafox team quickly responds to requests for conferences, lists, new companies, and company edits. They even take those crowded "landscape" images that show all of the company logos in a particular sector and make a list for you. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** There are a few improvements that would make life easier: - I wish the Similar Companies recommendations were more precise. It would be so helpful if this feature could help more to find comparable companies. - I wish this had a mobile app **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Datafox - alongside Pitchbook and Salesforce - to find, track, and keep in touch with startups that our VC firm would potentially invest in. The benefit of Datafox is that it is easy to use and helps make our team more productive without requiring a lot of configuration or training. It's great to be able to quickly get a list of all of the companies that we have spoken to in the Chicago area and download the list before heading out there. Or sharing a list of all of the companies that we are tracking that are at the conference a colleague is attending so she can reach out to them in advance. Or getting alerts on a startup that just hired a new Chief Product Officer to prompt us to reach out to hear what's new. It saves time. ### 27. Great tool - used daily by the team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Data Fox has been a fantastic tool for our Inside sales team. Its used daily to assess if we're hitting the right targets. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Not an issue from Data Fox however EU regulations now mean its harder to approach companies in this market, but the Data is still relevant **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simply - our outbound efforts are maximised by using the tool. Its been a real benefit for us and the team at Data Fox have their service on point. Great people to work with with a fantastic solution. ### 28. Great tool with accurate data **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fernando G. | Director, Sales Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** DataFox is a great tool for getting information about companies and alerts when companies you follow are in the news. It is also useful for prospecting within those companies. If the company you are prospecting isn't already in the DataFox database, you can request they be added with a simple click. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Some of the profiles they serve up are bare bones and bereft of data, this is often not the fault of DataFox as the companies this applies to are often quite small or are just getting off the ground. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** DataFox is a great tool, they have been very responsive to our requests and have come into the office to train the team and solicit feedback on how they are doing and how they can get better. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** DataFox provides a foundation for how we prioritize inbound leads. It helps our outbound efforts by serving up news about the companies we are following, providing a compelling reason to reach out. ### 29. Great for Account level Data - List Matching works well **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben K. | Senior Sales Operations Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** The Account level data is great. Datafox has helped me massively with the de-duplication of accounts, which was a big problem for us. We have tried other vendors in the past for this, and none have been as accurate as Datafox. I haven't tried their newer feature RE: prospecting with contact level data, so I can't speak to it. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** The UI on their website is not the best, sometimes I get confused between "List Building" and the "Data Insight" tabs. It would also be great to be able to export lists with a larger number of companies in it. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Datafox from both an account cleanup, enrichment, and acquisition standpoint - it is a massive help when it comes to territory planning season. Their success team is engaging and able to understand your business needs very quickly, and recommend solutions to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later. ### 30.

If you want to upload new accounts into SFDC then this is a great way to build those initial lists without clogging up your linkedin accounts. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Digging up account information for net new business.

First time Datafox User **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicole P. | Marketing Coordinator, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Datafox has been my lifesaver.

It has a built In Chrome extension which makes It extremely easy to research each account. I definitely recommend Datafox to any company. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Sometimes when the companies are fairly new, there is no revenue information on them. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Download the Chrome extension!

Great for prospecting and maximizing conference success **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bogdan P. | Director of Strategic Accounts, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** I like how Datafox has put a lot of time/innovation into giving reps visibility to the companies they're working with and their presence at upcoming conferences. Not only do they offer solid enrichment of company information but their coverage of software companies (who we sell to) is very broad. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Not much to dislike honestly. I'm not sure if notification capabilities exist where service gives me updates on companies I'm tracking and reasons to reach out in relation to their attendance/sponsorship of shows, but I'm sure this capability exists. Also have not gotten a ton of value out of their SFDC integration, but it could be user error. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** If you use conferences as a lead generation and/or sales enablement tool you should give these guys;' service a shot - makes it way more easier to be organized and targeted. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** My team sells to software companies and meeting them at shows, specifically our target personas, is a huge lead generator for us. Datafox is helping us target the right shows and further set up efficient plans to speak with and/or otherwise contact the attendees. ### 37.

In addition, they offer real-time updates that can sync with slack and provide a ton of value to a sales team. We can elect to receive updates for when targeted companies raise money, hire a new executive, and much more **What do you dislike about DataFox?** They do not have data on # of open position on a company's site which is a strong buying indicator for our company. We are happy to use multiple data enrichment vendors though. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** -sourcing relevant updates for companies of all sizes -identifying best fit targets within the enterprise space - ### 39.

Good for company prospecting - bad for lead prospecting **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adriane G. | Sales, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Datafox is easy to use and is a great tool for prospecting companies. The extension is also great for seeing info on the website that you're prospecting. They have good recommendations on comparable companies and their data seems to be really valid/up to date. **What do you dislike about DataFox?** Their UI isn't very intuitive. They also bait-and-switched us when we bought. We were very vocal about wanting a tool for prospecting leads (individuals, not companies) and needed a tool that would allow us to capture company stakeholder emails and phone numbers. They didn't let us trial this feature during our free trial, but assured us they have this info and even showed us the list of our company's users and contact info during the demo period. We felt that was enough info we needed to ensure they had the data (since we weren't allowed to trial that part). It was only until we became a customer and were able to access this feature that we realized that they did not have the level of user data that they lead us to believe. They even used a 3rd party tool to populate the data on our company that they showed us during the demo, but never disclosed that info to us. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Do not buy this product if you are looking to get individual contact info. **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick access to company and lead info. **Official Response from Mike Dorsey:** > I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed the company (account) prospecting! We have some exciting, unique updates on this front - both in our chrome extension and salesforce apps. Our focus is on accounts - helping sales & marketing teams align on best fit accounts. Thanks for noticing our company data quality - we have several teams dedicated to programmatically and manually validating company data. Glad it's paying off. On the contact info front, I’m very sorry about your experience with it, especially the trial process. It sounds like that definitely didn’t work for you. FWIW, the only reason we limit free trial access is because we have had a few bad actors in the past use the trial to download data without paying. It sounds like we didn’t do this in a way that gave you all the info you needed, which is something we definitely did not intend - I'm very sorry about this. We will work to improve as a result of your input here. You’re right about our contact info - this is a much newer feature for us (and one we do use third parties for) as opposed to how we meticulously source our own core company data. Sounds like we under-delivered there for you and I’m sorry about that. Most of our customers use us to manage their account data, rank best fit account lists, find new accounts, associate leads with accounts, and drive outreach to those best accounts using company signals, conferences, and insights. Do you have any upcoming projects or campaigns coming up where you'd like to force rank best fit accounts? Would love to see if I can help you leverage any of this further. I would definitely like to work directly with you to try to turn your experience into a win, if I can. Will follow up with you directly. ### 41. great source of truth **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018 **What do you like best about DataFox?** As a sales rep, I use this system all day - every day.

The biggest benefit is accurately identifying prospect technographics ### 46.

UI is great for complicated processes, horrendous for basic things **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eve O. | Sales Development Representative, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2017 **What do you like best about DataFox?** Much better bounce rates than Datanyze, the insights feature is incredibly useful, love the conferences and slack notifications, searching on multiple technology, location, company size, etc parameters, ability to scrape job listing descriptions from within the tool **What do you dislike about DataFox?** The UI for complex processes is great, but it is like a blind donkey wearing mittens designed a lot of the simpler features. For some reason when looking at contact info you can not sort alphabetically by company, so I end up exporting to a CSV just to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why god, WHY??? Just one example, but most of my gripes about DataFox are of this nature. We were also wrongly promised that we could use the salesforce plugin, but it didn't work with our version of Salesforce- which we had told the Sales Rep about. **Recommendations to others considering DataFox:** Not great for finding individual leads, good for account-level prospecting **What problems is DataFox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easier to prospect based on multiple parameters - [View DataFox pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/datafox/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-31+23%3A15%3A03+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=7b7a8525-820e-4586-be6f-ba6758d59254&secure%5Btoken%5D=47824e294fe07f669a10affc74aa51d79612a66da99930a1bba6159137b936da&format=llm_user) ## DataFox Features **Data Availability** - Contact Data Availability - Company Data Availability - Industry Research Availability - Technographic Data Availability **Lead Intelligence** - Market Insights - Account-level Insights - Lead Analysis **Lead Generation** - Lead Builder - CRM Integration - Marketing Automation Integration - Social Media Integration - Data Import & Export Tools **Agentic AI - Lead Scoring** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Marketing Account Intelligence** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction **Data Accuracy** - Contact Data Accuracy - Company Data Accuracy - Technographic Data Accuracy **Lead Intelligence** - Account-level Insights **Lead Management** - Segmentation - Predictive Scoring - Account Identification **Attribution** - Lead Opportunity - Lead Assignment - Pipeline Acceleration **Lead Management** - Segmentation - Account Identification **Marketing Campaigns** - Omni-Channel Tracking - Revenue Planning - Media Attribution - Opportunity Timeline - Customization **Discovery** - Lead Management - Scoring/Ranking - Lead Context **Agentic AI - Sales Intelligence** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Platform** - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability - Reporting/Dashboards - APIs **Campaign Execution** - Website Personalization - Prioritized Accounts - Trending Accounts - Email Campaigns **Management** - Conversion Viability - Workflow **Platform** - Data Synchronization - Analysis **Data Availability - Marketing Account Intelligence ** - Technographic Data Availability **Agentic AI - Account Data Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Data Accuracy - Marketing Account Intelligence ** - Technographic Data Accuracy **Features** - Lead Builder - Integration to CRM/Marketing Automation - Data Cleaning/Enrichment - Data Segmentation/Filtering - Search - News/People Alerts - Reporting - Messaging ## Top DataFox Alternatives - [GTM Workspace - Powered by ZoomInfo](https://www.g2.com/products/gtm-workspace-powered-by-zoominfo/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (8,865 reviews) - [Clearbit](https://www.g2.com/products/clearbit/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (624 reviews) - [Datanyze](https://www.g2.com/products/datanyze/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (436 reviews)
