D&B Hoovers Review: Pros and Cons
D&B Hoovers impressed me with its detailed, up-to-date information on businesses, which included contact information, financials, and market analyses. Furthermore, the platform was simple to use and well-organized, making it easy to find the information I needed.
CONSThe price is one of the least liked aspects of D&B Hoovers. Subscription plans can be quite expensive, putting some users out of reach. Furthermore, the search functionality can be quite limited, particularly for users with more specific requirements. Finally, the user interface can be challenging to navigate, particularly for new users.

My D&B Hoovers Business Research and Decision Making Experience
It's worth noting that these limitations may not apply to all users of Hoovers and that the platform may provide valuable insights and data for certain types of businesses and industries. Ultimately, businesses should carefully evaluate their specific needs and budget when considering whether to use Hoovers or any other data provider.
PROSI like that D&B Hoovers has a massive database of company information and insights. It is a valuable resource for researching companies, industries, and markets, which enables me to make sound business decisions. I also like the simple user interface and the ability to personalize my searches.
CONS-Limited coverage, primarily focuses on larger companies and may have limited coverage of smaller businesses or startups, especially in the APAC region.

Longtime User
For the most part it's been "good" not great. It's frustrating to have incorrect contacts and often times no emails associated to contact. Its frustrating that certain features dont always work.
PROSThat is provides me with contact information and contact email addresses
CONSOut of date contact info (ie: contact left their job 10 years ago and DB shows them as the main contact) No emails or phone numbers for contacts Filtered searching doesn't really work No linking for businesses with two or more names The phone # option of entering the number to find a business rarely works

D&B Hoovers is a powerful prospecting tool!
I would give it a solid A grade. It is a very useful tool for finding and connecting with prospective customers.
PROSEasy to use. Provides multiple points of contact including cell phone number, email address, and LinkedIn profile access.
CONSSometimes the info is outdated. I will try to reach a person and find that they left the company several years earlier.
Reason for choosing D&B Hoovers
Although D&B was somewhat more expensive than ZoomInfo, after evaluation it seemed that the data in D&B was more accurate and up-to date.
Reasons for switching to D&B Hoovers
More powerful, better contact information.

Hoovers is a good affordable option compared to the competition
Good experience. Like the product for the price point. I will continue to use it because it does meet its purpose and gives an ROI.
PROSGood company data and good for finding names of contacts for prospecting.
CONSSome functionality is not as user friendly, a lot of contacts are not updated or accurate, and triggers and Bombora are not as great as I would have hoped for.

The price point to try it out was more reasonable and they both seemed to have comparable product offerings.
