The tool for list building and building relationships
It is easy to set up and easy to use to create lists. I also like the InMail features and being updated when companies make staff changes or have financial updates.
PROSI like how I can see updates that people from the company post, and I get notified every day when there is added info for the companies I am watching. I like the ability to segment job titles and company revenue when I am creating new lists.
CONSI wouldn't say I like that I must have this tool as part of my tech stack to get full use of LinkedIn. But it is a great tool. If you are paying for your tools, this can get a bit pricy with everything else you have to have, calendar, emails, and data tools.

I have been using it for years and still worth it
I started using Sales Navigator Years back. Sometimes I canceled my subscription in between, but mostly I had it. I am a Lead Gen specialist, so, it's a must for me! I even managed my client's accounts to nurture leads. Sales Nav is one of the most powerful tool you can buy with money, probably the most powerful! Plus, LinkedIn offers minimum of 15 inMails with LinkedIn premiums (including Sales Nav), which allows you to message anyone in the world (who is on LinkedIn) and guarantee you to reach their inbox! That's massive!
CONSIt can be complicated for even for a intermediate user! And, it's pricey.

I expected more
I rarely use it because it just isn't giving me value. Part of it is that LinkedIn has become a known ground for salespeople, so when a "client" is on there, they kind of know salespeople are hunting them -- that makes it hard for good salespeople and/or real opportunities to shine through, even if you find the right person. I've found the company "insights" aren't insightful. It's just a list of how they've grown in headcount, what they've posted, etc. - and there's nothing advantageous about the information.
PROSThe obvious best part of this tool is that it's part of LinkedIn, so it is inherently connected to the largest business networking community on the planet. For my uses, this means 90%+ (estimated) of the folks I'm looking for are on the platform, and over 50% are active and now that I have unlimited search, it's a big step up from the free version.
CONSThere are a few things I don't like: 1. Even when someone is a second connection, I often can't see how I am connected to them - that's no help to me. 2. The filters Sales Nav has are relegated to LinkedIn fields, so filtered searches don't actually give me much more than I can do in the standard LI interface 3. You can't cross lead and account searches - to find, for example, the VP of HR in $500M+ US-based companies (which would be useful!) 4. It's reliant on your prospect being active/staying up to date on LinkedIn
Reason for choosing LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Mostly because of the name. We have some executives that swear by LinkedIn and use their networks a great deal, so it seemed natural to layer this into the arsenal.

Lead Generator
Nowadays it's not easy to reach people out and engage them in your business. Linkedin Sales Navigator is basically a paid service that you get from LinkedIn. It helps you to reach out to people of various industries by just searching it from keywords. You will get to see all the people from your industry or the industry you are targeting with just one click. It also helps you to make groups of these same people just to keep a tab on them while sending some relevant information.
CONSIt is good to go if you want to expand your reach to potential people on LinkedIn.

"A remarkable application for generating sales leads"
I think LinkedIn sales navigator is the no. 1 professional network for prospecting leads and finding the lead contact information that helps me to get valuable information for sorting out sales leads and others. Amazing!
PROSLinkedIn Sales Navigator is a terrific tool for generating sales leads. It includes excellent capabilities for locating the majority of potential leads, such as customized search strings and other variable filters.
CONSThere are no complex subjects that I dislike. However, the subscription charge is very exorbitant; therefore, lowering the rates would be a fantastic idea.

a product that only eases restrictions
With the review that I exposed previously, the price-quality relation with respect to what is offered for that sum of money is bad. There are plans that are more useful as recruiter lite, although as its name indicates, it is more suitable for that type of role. I do not recommend paying for this product unless money was not an issue.
PROSThe benefits of this product are such only for being part of the largest labor network in the world: Linkedin. It makes it easier for us to find more business contacts and to increase our networking more easily with tools such as InMail messages, advanced search, among others.
CONSAs I mentioned earlier, unfortunately this product is thinking of skipping some of the free account restrictions and showing them as features, such as: unlimited user searches, extension of weekly contact requests (in the free version they are 50 per week as of today ), and have 20 inMail messages per month. It also offers some minor improvements. All this for the modest sum of 69USD if it is billed annually (monthly is even more expensive).

Fantastic Tool for Lead Generation
It was highly affective tool. Feature like saving the leads & search criteria saves time & hassle free for generating leads.
PROSLinkedIn Sales Navigator is the best tool I have ever used for lead generation & for marketing our business. It haves an wide range of filter options which will allow us narrow down deeply to find the exact lead for the business. Options for saving the searches & leads are highly effective.
CONSIt was a great tool but but it would awesome if some more features in filter option can be added like previous company location, Academic year.

LOVE LinkedIn Navigator
I’ve been using LinkedIn Navigator since 2015 and it’s only gotten better. The filters for prospecting are very accurate and very advanced. Once you save a list LinkedIn Navigator automatically adds people with similar titles and roles. I’ve never gone back into a list and had the same contacts, I’ve always had additional leads that I could chat and connect with.
CONSThe only thing I would suggest possibly adding a keyword section where the information does not HAVE to be in their title but then again it probably already exists.

Great database of leads, easy to filter, save and contact
Sales navigator allows to find leads and reach them reliably with ease, for quite a modest price. It's very easy to segment the leads and the quality of the contacts is generally high.
PROSThe rich options to segment your potential leads, the autoupdate of a saved search with leads, the ease of contacting potential leads, the ability to send them inmails which they can easily read right from their mail.
CONSIt's great, I somehow miss an option to easily view the message history with a lead, within the saved search view. Also for some countries the leads are few/linkedin is not popular it seems.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a Must-have for any sales rep doing MM/Enterprise sales.
Overall, I'm pleased with Sales Navigator. I know it is not a cheap platform, but I feel like this is a must have for any sales rep who is doing Enterprise sales.
PROSI love that I can search any company and find the most recent contacts who are in a decision making position. I also love the ease of search - it is so important that I can navigate around the tool quickly to find who I need. This tool is only as useful to me as a sales rep if it can surface up info quickly.
CONSUnfortunately, most if not all the data is self reported. So I can also find my decision makers who want to be found - if someone is not on LinkedIn or did not update their job title, I can't find them.

MRA review for the best Lead Generation Platform
Overall I would say my work could not exist without LinkedIn Sales Navigator because my daily task is to prospect different companies on it. I use it daily and only have positive feedback about it. LinkedIn Sales Navigator is super easy to use, very user-friendly, and beneficial. I would honestly say that is the best lead generation platform today. You can find any business, any prospect and check their info, company, issues, success, update. Definitely would recommend to whoever is trying to make sales, reach prospects and create a great pipeline!
PROSI like that is easy to use, user-friendly has a lot to offer. It is the best tool for lead generation because all the business life is happening on LinkedIn now. LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the best tool for reaching out to the ICP. You can make lead and account lists, which Is very helpful and makes your life easier when tracking your campaign. You can search anything you can imagine from titles to geographic region, company size. When on Sales Navigator, you have access to many information and search options you don't have with regular LinkedIn. I would say that is also beneficial that you can see who is looking at your profile and tracking your posts views. It gives you a lot of free space and open hands for you to use it in your advance and make sales. It is the best tool for sales reps hands down. Definitely worth investing in it if you are trying to make sales and reach out to the prospects.
CONSCurrently, I don't have anything I dislike so much. I didn't have any issues while using it and I have been using it daily for hours for the past 6 months and more.

Looking for leads?
There are many options for identifying leads for your business, SalesNavigator is just one of them, and it didn't work particularly well for us. We didn't get much success approaching leads this way, we had better results using email campaigns.
PROSSalesNavigator is provided by LinkedIn, possibly the one place where most professionals meet. As such, you can be sure you will find the right contacts that you are looking for. The level of filtering and search criteria is great. It is very easy to use and you can easily message the people you are looking for, but... (see cons!)
CONSSalesNavigator is not cheap, although one can argue that if you do get a couple deals out of it it will become worth it. If that's the case, fine. But I find there could be a better integration between SalesNavigator and your LinkedIn profile. You have the limitation of a few messages you can actually send per month, and plus it does require somebody to be managing it.
Reason for choosing LinkedIn Sales Navigator

LinkedIn Sales Navigator: Lifeline for prospecting
It has made my life easy in terms of finding new prospects and then apart from this I get to know what is happening with my set of accounts. How much they are hiring, are they showing interest in my product, what new is happening in selected organizations?
PROSThe first and foremost thing is that it is the directory for the corporate world. Like in previous times, there was a big book of yellow pages, now the same thing is Sale Navigator but with better utilities. You can find prospects, connect with them, find a job, raise your voice, get engagement, ask for mentorship, and what not.
CONSSometimes the new features introduced are not easy to use. Like the recent update ask me to click multiple times for putting a filter which is time consuming.

Amazing partner(tool) for a salesperson
To be honest, it's a fantastic tool for all salespeople in any and every industry.
PROSThis is by far the most effective tool for generating leads, prospecting, and networking. Its large user database allows anyone from anywhere in the world to connect. Its filters come in handy when narrowing down the target market.
CONSThere is no option for exporting, and there is no CRM integration (Hubspot). If it is implemented, the integration feature will be a huge time saver. The user interface could have been better.

Must Needed Tool For B2B Lead Generation

As LinkedIn is the main professional platform currently, it is quite hard to not provide Sales Navigator to the Sales Team of a company. Our Sales Member are heavy users of the platform and can't live without it.
PROSLinkedIn Sales Navigator is a efficient tool to connect with the right leads and create relationships. The platform also helps me the sales team to create lists with the targeted people and companies. The InMails are amazing to reach people who are not directly connected to a certain user.
CONSThe platform is quite expensive and I LinkedIn has been implementing important limitations in lower pricing plans. Also, the Salesforce integration doesn't push the entire InMails exchange.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a powerful tool when you learn how to use it. It helps you locate employees within an organization and provides excellent resources to connect.
PROSI used LinkedIn Sales Navigator for a few months while seeking a partnership with a manufacturer in the Plumbing and HVAC sector. Sales Navigator was awesome in helping me determine who was likely a decision maker at each level. One great feature is being able to find Executive level employees within an organization.
