HG Insights Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

HG Insights is a great way to take a deeper dive into data to help generate sales plays for your organization. In addition, the customer service team at HG Insights is stellar! Quick, responsive, and great active listeners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This isn't a dislike, just feedback that I've received from a few clients when they receive the HG Insights report that the amount of data can be a bit overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The filtering and scoring capability to rank account targets and market analysis to track and react to trends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rich and meangful data. HG Insights data is one of the richest data set in the industry when it comes to the level of details of customer insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing as such to be disliked. Though they are already improving their matching methods and clarity on hierarchies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great tool that gives insights into a customer's IT spend, install base and technology contracts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HG insights as per our current contract does not provide spend details by products (SAP, Oracle, etc) and a vendor's share of wallet in the account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I fully utilize the spend, install and purchase intent content of their platform and incorporating them into my insights project to come up with data tools to be used for various purposes whether it be to provide warm opps list to resellers or vendors, profile the business portfolio of resellers or vendors and use the same data tools to recruit net new logo resllers or vendors.

Recently received feedback from a particular vendor that their products listed on the purchase intent catalog were legacy products and seem to not include their newer products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
