Great Data Depth, many 'dials' to refine a search, AI tool and fair price point
The data depth, tools to get to a targeted list and the pricing
CONSI 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.
PROSStraightforward, 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.
CONSProject 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.

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

Excellent for sourcing M&A targets
The AI feature is fantastic and the data is very much on point nowadays.
CONSThe 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
It saves a lot of time with target research - good tool to start with
CONSThe 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
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.
CONSThe product is still in development so not all features are fully rolled out and there are some minor bugs.
