DataFox Reviews
Pros
As a user, It really helps me to find the companies that match my prospective. Overall the User interface is good which makes ease of use.
There is a great wealth of information about a wide array of businesses across a diverse set of industries.
The SFDC integration is great, and the listbuilding function is awesome - they have the best data you can find on smaller, private companies.
Cons
The fact that there are a lot of bugs and bad support are the 2 things that make me want to pull my hair out.
Datafox is okay but it has caused a lot of frustration.
Additionally, there are a lot of issues around companies not being able to sync to Salesforce (I'll often get an error message).
"Excellent data, helpful tools, easy UI"
Overall: 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.
Pros: 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. 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.
Cons: 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 helpful to the sync issues we have.
"Datafox is great for finding accounts"
Pros: The main thing I use Datafox for is prospecting new accounts. They have an integration with Salesforce which makes it very easy to build reports and filter results with your Salesforce fields. The integration with Slack is awesome for getting alerts on your current accounts as well. The extension is very useful for seeing what technology companies have running on their website.
Cons: If the naming convention in Datafox is different than the naming in your Salesforce, Datafox will not recognize the account.
"Good idea, but has some flaws. "
Pros: I think the customer support is the best aspect - always a quick and friendly response to any issues. The integration with Salesforce is decent, but it leaves a lot to be desired depending on how customized your Salesforce instance is.
Cons: The list building feature could use a lot of work - there are times (too often for my liking) that data changes within the list don't save. Additionally, there are a lot of issues around companies not being able to sync to Salesforce (I'll often get an error message).
"Love DataFox (especially the Plug-In)!"
Overall: I use DataFox multiple times everyday. Definitely before every meeting. It's a great source of data to get a feel for what a company is using behind the scenes.
Pros: I love the plugin. In terms of prospecting a company and scraping their tech stack, there's nothing better!
Cons: The contact information can be out of date. I typically use it for account details over contact details.
"Company Navigator"
Overall: Overall, the use of this product satisfies my expectation as it really does help navigating the companies related to a particular industry.
Pros: As a user, It really helps me to find the companies that match my prospective. Overall the User interface is good which makes ease of use.
Cons: Sometime the data are not displayed the way I want and time session is short I get logout very often when not in use for short period of time. I think its for security purpose.
