Excellent data, helpful tools, easy UI

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 for Companies

Overall, I am really glad we are using them. They offer multiple functions.

Pros

I really enjoy being able to built company list within datafox and using them for conference's to see who is exhibiting and the company that will be attending. Always update when I ask.

Cons

I do not like that it's not a bi-directional sync. I want to edit in Datafox and have it be pushed to Salesforce.

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).

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.

Love DataFox (especially the Plug-In)!

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.
