### "Best of The Contact Managers "

September 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

FullContact is by far the best of the contact managers around today. It's wide range of features from business card scanning, email scanning, and syncing between services like Google Contacts and others make this the best at what it does.

Cons

Not much. The User Interface on mobile, when it comes to reauthorizing is problematic.

### "Good software to get to know our customers a little bit better"

March 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

FullContact it is an amazing software to keep our system updated regarding our customers social media information. It is also useful to grab a picture automatically when creating a new user in our application them they may decide to keep the grabbed image or not.

Cons

They have upgraded recently their API's and they have removed some functionalities that we have been using before. Just like a batch call to get the users information. I think that should have been better managed.

### "FullContact is one of the best contact management apps out there"

January 30, 2017

5.0

FullContact is definitely one of the best contact management apps out there. Especially since it has native apps for any desktop OS and mobile OS. I use it on macOS and iOS and from my 5+ years of use, I can assure you you don't need to look further.

Pros

Native apps for most desktop OS and mobile OS easy to use and synchronizes effortlessly

Cons

More CRM functionality would be great

### "We replaced our Outlook contact database with FullContact and it has made mail outs so much easier."

November 21, 2017

5.0

Pros

In Outlook, despite having a contact list that is accessible to everyone in the office, the categories are not global. For example, if I want to categorize a contact as "Christmas Card", I can do that, but someone else (having to create the categories from scratch on their workstation) may categorize another contact "Xmas Card". When we pull a list of all Christmas Card contacts, we will have to sort through a variety of different categories. This is painful. FullContact has global tags that allow us to keep all the categories uniform. Exporting lists for mail outs is extremely simple and we have written macros to manipulate this information - what used to take us hours takes us minutes. Another reason I LOVE FullContact is that the address fields are separate. Many contact systems just have one box to enter the complete address, which makes it hard to ensure addresses are being added in the same format and makes mail merges a nightmare with lots of manual fixing.

Cons

There is no way to import contacts with separate tags. Anything in the "categories" column in your import excel spreadsheet will be created as a single tag (for example: John Smith; Christmas Card; Halloween Party), which makes it quite tedious to go through and properly tag all of the new contacts, especially if you are moving an existing database from Outlook or another program.

### "A best alternative to Rapportive but not better than LinkedIn Sales Navigator"

October 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

I was using Rapportive lately before LinkedIn acquired it. Then it stopped working and I was looking for a free option like rapportive with out daily limits and found out FullContact. I could easily install the Chrome extension and integrated it to my work Gmail. After refreshing it for 2-3 times, it started to work just like Rapportive but the suggestions included around 5-6 social media profile links which cannot be seen anywhere else.

Cons

Full contact chrome extension needs the user to refresh the page frequently sometimes to get the extension working. The new Gmail update also caused lot of issues to the extension even after reinstalling it for several times.

### "avoid at all costs"

October 31, 2016

1.0

We used FullContact to create a contact list of prospective clients. These details were entered manually over the course of a few weeks, and many hours. When I needed access to our Full Contact list from my personal laptop, I logged into our account and it automatically synced my personal Google & iCloud contacts as well as personal bank details from my laptop without permission. This diluted our business list and gave my employees access to personal and sensitive information. Thinking there must be a way to un-sync the lists, we contacted FullContact and they offered useless advice - and did not have ability correct their error. We have had to delete the list and we will never use FullContact again.

Pros

There are no pros. This is a total waste of time and is dangerous to your database.

Cons

FullContact should not sync anything without permission. Synced accounts should be able to be deleted completely as needed, and contacts should be flagged by synced account. Clients should have control over their contact list, which FullContact currently does not allow.

### "over-promised, under-delivered"

February 6, 2018

3.0

digitalisation of some hundreds of business cards

Pros

the promise that business card transcription will be brought to a new level which is only partially true continuous update of data once they are stored in fullcontact app

Cons

the promised personal service which is key for best possible transcription of business cards is not applicable for german needs (e.g. certain letters are not transcribed correctly)

### "Great API for enriching customer profiles"

May 24, 2018

4.0

Enriched customer profiles with additional data.

Pros

The API is simple and it has the highest match rate among platforms that we've tested. Great customer support.

Cons

The accuracy is a bit lower than other platforms and it doesn't provide great match rates for some social platforms (e.g., outdated LinkedIn data and few Instagram matches). Price keeps going up as well

### "API is very easy to set up and get started with. Tons of missing information when looking into large"

May 16, 2018

4.0

We are able to further segment and customize marketing messages for our users with complete profiles.

Pros

Really helps us analyze our user's communications preferences and fills in missing geo-information.

Cons

Roughly 20% of our quieres generate meaningful results and when completing contact information by hand I am often able to find more.

### "Don't Waste Your Time"

December 14, 2023

1.0

Where to begin. They were never able to install their code on my website. Rather than helping me solve the problem their last message was "Good Luck to You!" It was an attitude from several of their employees to the effect of, Who Cares! Terrible tech support. Guy acted like he had no idea what he was doing/didn't want to be bothered. Their final message was, "We would suggest it is best that you find partners who can work with your necessities." HUH??? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Pros

Nothing. Honestly looking back, I can think of NOTHING that I was happy with.

Cons

Non existent customer service. Companies that provide the service that they sell are many. Don't waste your time as I have!

### "Not Useful AT ALL"

November 9, 2017

1.0

Pros

Full Contact is suppose to work seamlessly with GMAIL to capture signatures. It doesn't. I have to constantly tweak the program to get it to work with GMAIL. I've had it for a year, the last time it actually captured an email signature was 10 months ago.

Cons

Forget about trying to use Outlook Exchange Account with this. It does not capture anything from Outlook and there is no work-around. Because it only captures GMAIL signatures AFTER you reply, you cannot use Rules to forward your Exchange account to GMAIL to try to capture email addresses that way. Complete waste of money.

### "Syncing all my contacts"

November 2, 2018

5.0

I am using several google accounts for several companies. The Chrome extension is very useful to get all contacts in one single address book at the end of the day.

Pros

I use several google accounts, xing, linkedin and twitter. All contacts are synced. I really like the integration with gmail.

Cons

duplicates show up again even if I decided not to merge them before.

### "Good software to get some more information about my contacts"

April 16, 2018

4.0

Easily get to know more about my contacts.

Pros

Fullcontact has available some API's that allow us to easily integrate by REST with other external systems and obtain some more information about my contacts by only their email.

Cons

They have recently removed some features from the version 3, like making calls in batch and that completely struggles our current development.

### "Multi-platform contact management"

June 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Great if you want to centralize all your contacts from all your different accounts (work & personal) on one location, regardless of platform.

Cons

Getting the contact files from LinkedIn and importing them back into FullContact on a weekly basis is the main reason why I quit using it.

### "Avoid with Google Contacts"

April 12, 2017

1.0

Pros

The editable contact info that appears in the sidebar of Google Mail. The editable contact info that appears in the sidebar of Google Mail.

Cons

Automatically merging duplicates that I don't want merging. Changes in Google Contacts were not synced to FullContact, so were reverted when FullContact synced with Google Contacts. Thanks for wasting so much of my time fixing these things.

### "Overall good experience"

May 16, 2018

5.0

Enrichment for contacts, mainly private email addresses.

Pros

I like that I get information regarding private email addresses, as I don't get access to this information in other contact DBs I used.

Cons

I don't like that I get only the employment organization name, instead of the website, as I can't use the organization name for further enrichment research.

### "I manage my contacts better! "

January 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

Enable me organize my business and personal contacts, with the possibility of segmenting my email lists to run email campaigns. It integrates well with my LinkedIn, Twitter, Google and Yahoo accounts.

Cons

There is a minute to the number of business cards I can upload per month. Card transcription is sometime riddled with mistakes.

### "I was able to easily utilize FullContact's API and access company data, it was a great experience!"

May 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

FullContact makes accessing company information fast and easy, their documentation is easy to access and digest and makes using their service very simple.

Cons

The only real issue I had was being rate limited, but this is very normal for API services and FullContact made it VERY easy to know exactly where you are within your limit, which is great!

### "Not as much data as I had hoped for, but nothing wrong yet"

May 15, 2018

3.0

Data that we could not receive anywhere else. If social data is something you want/need, FullContact is the place to find it.

Pros

FulContact offers data we cant find with other providers. Our dashboard is enhanced by the visual display of users social data, and our targeting capabilities are also enhanced.

Cons

1/10 users actually return results. I know there is nothing wrong with this, if a user signs up for our service with 1 email, and uses another for social platforms that is just reality. I would love a feature that at least suggests user profiles for people who FullContact cannot find a definitive profile for.

May 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

A technical marketer can use the API successfully. The UI is clean and the docs are easy to understand.

Cons

The Hubspot integration feels shaky. I turned it off. I was very, very concerned of accidentally hitting Hubspot's API limits.

Data enrichment.

Pros

API docs are clear and the code integration went smooth. We're getting great value from the data enrichment.

Cons

Want better instagram and linked in data. Higher match rates for business related emails would be valuable. Provide more affinities and demographic data.

### "Fantastic for managing contacts"

October 18, 2018

5.0

Pro tip: great way to organize people you meet at conferences! Just add their info and you can pull in the rest of their information on the Internet.

Pros

I haven't used the full version, just the free software, but it's fantastic for managing all of your contacts. You can import from different email accounts and social networks, and you can have up to 1,000 contacts free.

Cons

Even the free version is great, but most of my annoyances could be fixed by paying for the full version. The only other thing that would be good would be a way to store the photo of the business card within the contact itself.

### "Great to manage contacts"

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is super simple to use and has great integrations with tools like Conspire, allowing you to learn how you are connected to others as well. Does a good job connecting contacts across all devices.

Cons

The free limit is only 1000 contacts, which is not enough for me, and the price point is a bit high for what I need to use it for. Other than that, no complaints.

### "The best way to get Business cards into your contacts list"

November 3, 2016

5.0

Been using FullContact now for about 4 months. I looked for years for a reliable way to automatically get Business Cards into my Google Calendar. All of the OCR solutions create more work then they are worth. FullContact reviews any troublesome OCR responses by hand to make corrections. So you can take the photo and be confident the information with make it into your calendar. I didn't think I would use FullContact for anything else but I now use both the mobile app and www as my contact app over google contacts. I still sync everything with Google contacts but I interact almost exclusively with FullContact. The only feature I miss from Google Contacts is the ability to email every contact within a Tag.
