Helps a lot in prospecting potential customers. Gives tons of information about my customers. Easy to check out what is going on in certain industry or customer group.

Best single tool for prospecting so far. Easy to list attributes that are important for you and start looking for good leads. Customer friendly user interface. Customer support has been great. Also does media tracking for your entire customer portfolio if you wish.

If you don't pay enough attention on search criteria you'll end up with lot of useless information as well. Some people at our company have struggled with finding some functionalities.

Ease of use is great to have but most important is really top quality leads Vainu has been able to provide. Definitely boosting our sales.

Configuring triggers the way I need can be a bit time consuming at first try.

If you sell to corporates, then Vainu might be right for you. If not, the exercise of trying to collect information is tedious and requires a lot of excel work. After a year of trying to make it work, we abandoned it and hired cheap labor abroad to collect data and validate it for us. For individual reps, having it alongside LinkedIn might be helpful. Limited markets - don't buy their new markets, its extremely limited.

We bought mainly because we sell to a market that's hard to identify (small gyms and studios). Being able to search by company name was probably the most beneficial part.

For a lot of data we received, it was just a collection of yellow page data. Pozo and dribble litter the results and Vainu offers no additional benefit here. My team got very frustrated with their data compared to other sources we have.

-- Efficiency in generating prospect lists -- Exploring new markets to sell to -- Gathering information about trends in target industries -- Relating to customers/prospects through data about their companies Vainu continues to improve on its database every day (they can track more than 100 million companies worldwide currently). They are a startup that customers are evolving alongside. I find that the platform has continued to improve in the months I've been using it -- as with any startup, change is going to be a part of the company. I've found that the changes they've made have improved my experiences as a user. Keep in mind: Vainu focuses on company information and it's not a database of contact details. However, they have a nice LinkedIn integration available for finding decision makers.

One of the best features of Vainu is its ease of use. As someone in the business development space, I want SaaS programs that allow me to dive right in and access the kinds of information I need. Vainu does just that. It is a creative solution that allows me to gather information on companies worldwide. Moreover, Vainu has a team committed to customer service and keeping customers happy. They have been there from demos and beyond, willing to answer any questions and train me along the way. If you're looking for a tool to help you start really prospecting and figuring who may need your product or service, Vainu is the way to go.

Vainu was the way I would start every business day. Takes minutes to find ideal prospect and the resources to craft the perfect outreach to them.

Vainu is extremely easy to use... and makes prospecting Fun. This solution gives you the tools and information to know EVERYTHING you could possibly need about your future customers.

While a great tool, the US Database can use a little work. The Nordic Databases are their bread & butter... wow they know it all about those organizations

Before a meeting with a customer I can check everything importand from Vainu and see what new has happened in that company. Gives me more information than I coud get from the company´s own web page.

Best software tool for sales persons.

Pricing, because if you need only one licence, you can´t buy just one licence.

new contacts customers, prospects

Easy access to see actual information about situation, contact persons, happenings, news, addresses, groupsearch for segmentationing customers, My alltime online catalogue and search for clients info

To find some certain specific info is not always so ea even possible for segmentation needs, does not work well enough ,could work better with regional search

New customer acquisition has never been this easy

Good search criterias. I can narrow down search to specific customer groups/segments and shows only relevant companies.

Search criteria don't always work perfectly

Vainu is very easy to use. Software is user-friendly and instructions are understandable. Help is always there when needed. Very useful tool in my daily work when analysing markets or competitors.

Sometimes information takes a longer while to load but can't think of anything else to add here.

Vainu helps salespeople strike when the iron’s hot. I.E. it helps us to be more relevant to our customers.

The export festure is limited and the use of Vainu as a specialist tool for segmentation and prospect identification is limited. I see it more as sales support tool for those operating near the end customer.

More quality prospects, time savings, better sales management, better sales tracking, satisfied sales people :)

You save time and find right prospects as fast as possible. It's also easy to sort prospects by industry, revenue, digital foot print... etc.

Vainu has fixed all the bugs we have reported. So no, I can't really say what I would like least about it nowadays...

Starting meaningful conversations at the right time and being at the pulse of my key accounts.

Great ROI! Best fit for tech-savvy sales&marketing people

It would be great to have integrations for more CRMs' .

We are actively trying to pursue a refund from the software manufacturer, who, despite acknowledging the problems with their tool, refuse to address them or stand behind their product.

This software would be a great alternative to Hoovers or Rainking if it actually had quality data.

We purchased Vainu (in the US) in July 2017. From the beginning we had issues with the validity and accuracy of the data. For a tool that is billed as a robust sales intelligence platform, much of the intelligence was nonexistent. We brought this to the attention of management and leadership who promised resolution. Here we are in October 2017 and despite having clear documentation of the product's shortcomings, the team will not process a refund of the product. (BEWARE: their user agreement does not permit for a refund and also states that they have no guarantee that any of the product data is even valid.) For their US product, all monetary numbers are still listed in Euros.

Basic data easy to use and I like specially updated data which I can use in sales. Integrated link to CRM system is also positive change in future.

Samling is not so easy to build, need some consultation. I don´t know for sure how I can receive e-mail notify about interesting company changes.

It is very good to figure out what type of companies are in you area. The lists of companies by certain segments are very useful.

It is very useful to get the results to excel, also the lists are dynamic, so no need to be afraid that there is old information.

I don´t know anything to improve! So satisfy at the moment.

We use Vainu when we search new clients. We also follow news about acquisitions and mergers daily.

Software is easy to use and integrations with other apps works very well.

At first there were too many updates and there were problems with integrations, after that integrations worked very well.

Relatively easy to use and has a lot of great features to make it easy to find the information you are looking for. Great tool for finding new potential customers.

There is not much not to like about this software. Perhaps the only negative thing for me is that there are so many different tools to filter what you are looking for that it takes a lot of effort to search for something (not such a bad thing though when you need to be specific).

Always when I have used it my experience has been positive. I have founded at least level of 90% all necessary information I have looked.

Wide range of information of the companies you are looking for.

Nothing to claim about the Vainu.io. Basic use is simple.

Vainu gives a vast amount of value to everyday working and selling process. Very pleased with it.

Easy to use, simple graphics, accessibility to vital information.

Some information about decisions in municipalities and public sector are a bit hard to find

Sales x10

To be honest it is really easy to use. From the first day I started using Vainu I instantly got the hang of it. Great value for money. Customer service is swift and efficient.

Waiting for you guys to go overseas with it!

It identifies signals to a one system that is easy to use. IN marketing we are able to produce specific target groups and look-a-like audiences.

It should be in more of the countries that we operate in.

Software has easy and intuitive user interface and therefore it's fresh and easy-going for me. I also liked about automated reports to my email, overall database, integrations for other social media platforms

Sometimes there is little too much data about same project or prospects because there is no pre-filter, maybe in next version or update will add this one.

Graphic parts, highly useable. I have made my own lists of interesting customers or prospects and checking them every day. Very easy.

Easy to use, useful information. Continuous developing.

Quite a new program. everything is not ready yet.

More leads, it takes off the pain of trying to find relevant stuff via Google etc. and with it integrations with Pipedrive and Slack I feel that I have more time for everything else.

It's simple and easy to use and it offers valuable data. Customer support works perfectly and I've always got an answer to my questions. Also the user interface is something I really enjoy, simple and clear.

Sometimes the search results are a bit irrelevant and some of the features are a bit hard to understand.
