Great Data Depth, many 'dials' to refine a search, AI tool and fair price point

PROS

The data depth, tools to get to a targeted list and the pricing

CONS

I wish it would integrate with SalesForce

Efficient & Effective

Extremely positive, the tool has saved us time and money allowing us to do more with less.

PROS

Straightforward, and works the way you expect a solution like this to work. Their similar company search is a fantastic tool, particularly in esoteric searches, that may not have the best presence on major data sources.

CONS

Project management needs to be done outside the platform. They have pretty good collaboration tools, but not quite what we need.

Reason for choosing Inven

More reasonable price, more flexible data exports.

Vendor Response

Hi! Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We're happy to hear our solution has helped you save time and money!

Powerful, improvements still needed

This has been an excellent addition and so far outperforms other tools. It needs to better facilitate refining a search to get a higher hit rate than 50-60%, otherwise there's too much manual work in cleansing the list before use.

PROS

The use of unstructured search terms, example companies, and *negative* search terms helps make this tool much better than using pre-assigned industry categories or NAICS codes

CONS

I may need additional user training, but I still have trouble getting a list with <40% unqualified companies mixed in with my intended targets.

Vendor Response

Excellent for sourcing M&A targets

PROS

The AI feature is fantastic and the data is very much on point nowadays.

CONS

The data has improved over time a lot and it is up to the standards of any competitor now. Would not change it to anything.

Great tool to get an initial view on the target universe

PROS

It saves a lot of time with target research - good tool to start with

CONS

The database is still in its infancy and requires more data maintenance - some companies are poorly categorized or not categorized at all (only name without description etc.)

Great for Small Investment Banks

PROS

It's easy to use and helps find niche companies that databases like PitchBook fail to find. Additionally, the intent to sell feature makes it simple to find prospective clients and the investor search makes it easy to find investors / buyers for clients.

CONS

The product is still in development so not all features are fully rolled out and there are some minor bugs.
