Social media marketing and design expert Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the largest people search engines that exist " August 14, 2021 4.0 I have been using Pipl a lot for the past few months and it has proved to be quite useful for me Pros What I liked the most about Pipl was its ability to provide information on literally anyone even on such people that other similar softwares knew nothing about. Cons I didn’t like the fact that just like I could use Pipl to get information on anyone I want other people could also use it to find out information on me.

Pros Great way to verify identities, usernames, contact info, etc. Probably the best collection of online user data. Cons The Cost and the hurdles of entry to test it out. This used to be freely available, but now to even apply for a test account, there are several layers of approval and back and forth just to be considered. There is no direct pay option or way to sign up without fighting with customer support. It's a room for improvement. Reason for choosing Pipl Pipl had better information and was easier to use (once you finally get access) but it was cost prohibitive and other offerings aren't nearly as painful to work with. Review Source IM Ian M. Director Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used to be Good" April 15, 2019 3.0 What used to be good has now dwindled and I will look forward to the next runner up. Pros What I like about this software is that it does provide information that I sometimes cannot find on Google. Cons Following the fall of 123People, Pipl quickly took the lead, improving their software and allowing me to find information that I either could not find on Google, or was more difficult. However, the site seems to be slipping over the last year or so. I find information isn't as readily available as it once was. But moreso, the robot security protocols requiring the user to click and verify that we are not robots, then having to select images related to a topic, that never seem to work. It is frustrating and time consuming having to do this three or four times each time I click into the site. Pipl has fallen from the top of my list of resources to the bottom! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Manager, Marketing Analytics & Operations Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and quick data appending service" March 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Their match rate and accuracy are well above industry standard. They were also very communicative throughout our initial conversations and onboarding for use. Overall we're very happy with our use of Pipl and will continue to use them in the future based on data quality that they provide. We are also looking in to using their API to avoid manual exchange of data. Cons It's a pretty straightforward product so not a whole lot to hate. It would be great if they provided us with access on their website for a 'do it yourself' option as opposed to going back and forth with them but their API will greatly reduce this issue.

June 16, 2017 5.0 I've used it to find out if people met thru internet was real or fake. It worked well on most cases. Pros It's ease of use is unparalled, you just land at the site, punch a name and optional location and it will search for the most likely searched person. It works wonders and it's no surprise many HR departments are using it while screening the possible recruits. Cons As of now, if your IP sends too many people searches, it will block the IP for a day or so, something that was not implemented before.

Information is very accurate. Cons I signed up for the free trial. I don't think the information is worth it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Product Innovation Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "deep people data" August 1, 2019 5.0 Good for building ABM campaigns using advanced segmentation available from all the additional data components that become available from the product Pros very good coverage of people data for building customer personas for sales and marketing. The data is really deep provides locations, past employment histories of key executives for B2B sales. Also access to API directly loads into our CRM. Good for ABM. Cons Can become expensive to use if the house list is very large. Review Source dU denise U. marketing director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I use it to find more information about the person Im looking. For example: phones, email address." February 27, 2018 3.0 Pros What I like the most is that I can find the middle initial for the person. And maybe its useful for guessing the email address. Cons What I like the least is that the phone numbers that are written are not good phones. At least, thats what happened to me. Review Source TM Tomasz M. Senior Web Developer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Help people fill out your forms..." July 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Or at least that's what I'm using Pippl for. If you can provide me with your email address, I can use their data to cross-reference the email and retrieve other social media profiles, phone numbers addresses and more. Gotta love it. Cons I wasn't too pleased with the forced "interview process" and the constant follow ups of "when are you planning to start using it more". Stop rushing me. :) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Client & Business Development Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for finding info about people" November 27, 2018 5.0 Finding info on people Pros Returned a lot of results and was able to easily find the person I was looking for. Cons Not all the details are available and not all the results are good. Review Source GM Glenda M. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unreliable" September 24, 2018 1.0 Terrible....my own I formation was not correct Pros The site is not reliable some info on the site is incorrect Nothing is reliable Cons Full of inaccuracies....people with same names information are linked together and not a true view of ones information Review Source LZ Leonel Z.
