Great Data and Has Gotten Better Over the Years!
Comments: I love Lusha..I've been using it for years and the data has gotten even more accurate.
Pros:
The accuracy of the data and prospecting tool
Cons:
I've found that many of the contacts are retired or at different companies, otherwise very accurate.
Alternatives Considered: ZoomInfo Sales, Seamless.AI and Swordfish
Reasons for Choosing Lusha: Had it at GDS Group and changed jobs, took it with me!
Switched From: ZoomInfo Sales

Thanks for the great score, Olivia!
This tool changed my sales prospection
Pros:
Its interface is beautiful and made contact extraction become something much more "normal" to me. Super easy to use and I simply love the fact that it shows prior to credit usage whether one will have access to an email, phone number, or both.
Cons:
The fact that the extension requires some permissions that I do not feel comfortable allowing them to have. I ended up using the web platform only.
Alternatives Considered: SignalHire and ContactOut
Reasons for Choosing Lusha: Privacy options - SH's extension requires permissions that seem absolutely abusive (such as passwords, pin numbers, and other authentication data.
Switched From: SignalHire
Reasons for Switching to Lusha: I actually use them all, but on their free plans.
Disappointed at Capability of Lusha
Comments: It is often that I can't find contact details for an individual on Lusha, however, when I go to ZoomInfo or Rocket Search I can find it
Pros:
There is not much that makes this a good tool
Cons:
The database and information is seriously lacking to be an effective tool

Thanks for the feedback Gerd, We'll always looking to improve our database and results. Hopefully, you'll see improvements in the results and find value in it in the long run.
Easy-to-use data enrichment platform with flexible pricing
Comments: Overall, the platform is easy to use and has a lot of cool features. I would say the data enrichment piece seems to be at least 75% accurate if not more. I do wish that on our plan I am able to upload a CSV of names and companies and have it automatically enrich all of that data instead of having to go one-by-one.
Pros:
Lusha is an easy-to-use lead generating and data enrichment platform. It's a great tool for me as a marketer who doesn't have a sales team and works for a small company trying to get a sales motion in place.
Cons:
I don't like that the credits are use-it-or-lose-it. As a small company in a tough economy, our budgets are constantly fluctuating. I paid for a certain amount of credits but due to competing priorities, could not keep up with using them. Then, we had to downgrade our subscription based on cost cutting. Since I already paid for the credits, I feel like I should have been able to use them whenever I wanted even after downgrading (and then just not get more new ones).
Expensive, but it solves the problem like no other
Comments: Great experience and totally recommended.
Pros:
Lusha's slogan should be "data you can trust". While other tools in the market just "guess" your prospect email, Lusha gets it right. I don't know details about their database, but the accuracy of the e-mails and phone numbers provided are incredible high. Other tools in the market just make a guess like "[email protected]", try to validate it and that's all. Most of them can't even give phone numbers. I have tested over 15 tools (Hunter, Snov, Findthatlead, Skrapp and etc) and I can assure that Lusha is the most accurate.
Cons:
I find it very pricey. You can buy larger credit packs and get a discount, but it's still way more expensive than competitors.
Alternatives Considered: LeadIQ, Snov.io, Find That Email, Skrapp.io, Hunter and FindThatLead
Reasons for Choosing Lusha: I could'nt select more options, but I tested Skrapp, Snov, Hunter, Findthatlead and a few more. I switched because Lusha has the best accuracy on the data provided.
Switched From: Skrapp.io
Reasons for Switching to Lusha: Lusha has the best accuracy on the data provided.
Succeed with Lusha
Comments: Its a one stop shop for getting authentic data of key personas who are difficult to reach for sales guys. <Most of the time their mobile numbers and email ids are valid and it helps us connect first time right personas. Saves lot of effort and time for sales.
Pros:
Product integration with Linkedin, data authenticity and ease of use are the best part of Lusha
Cons:
Still to findany limitation. Sometimes the data is incorrect but its good that we have option to inform about the same.
Alternatives Considered: ZoomInfo Sales
Reasons for Choosing Lusha: Authenticity of data was major problem at zoom info. Very cumbersome to use and limited integration facility
Switched From: ZoomInfo Sales
Search Less and Sell more
Comments: This tool is very effective in finding contact details from LinkedIn ,helps me in lead generation and their contact detail database is updated which helps me in connecting with my prospective client and generate sales .
Pros:
updated database Best LinkedIn data extractor. Best lead generation software. Best sales Management software.
Cons:
Subscription charges are very expensive .
Review
Pros:
easy to use, simple but does the job (that is a good thing, many tools are too complex for their use).
Cons:
The results are not great, it does give results but there are competitors out there that have a higher degree of accuracy AND generate info on more leads.
Alternatives Considered: LeadIQ
Reasons for Switching to Lusha: We did not, we're using both as in our trials your results were complementary to theirs (i.e. leads they could enrich you could not and visa versa)
Lusha Review & Feedback

Accurate Lead finder but inconsistent
Comments:
I recommend lusha if it manages to gather leads at a consistent manner and also has other features on it's plate.
Right now if Lusha offers exporting and project creation it would be better.
Pros:
The emails I've been getting are accurate and legitimate. I like that Lusha extracts personal emails to really help our team when we are sourcing.
Cons:
It's inconsistent. It doesn't work sometimes when you're trying to find the candidate's email or contact information unlike other contact finding tools
My prospecting efforts were revolutionized once I started using Lusha
Pros:
I LOVE the fact that it works SO WELL! Moreover, the team is super helpful whenever I face technical issues or need help
Cons:
The permissions that the extension asks for make me unconfortable - and my cybersecurity team did not allow me to use it, so on my corporate computer I am only allowed to use the Prospecting Dashboard
Alternatives Considered: Wiza and Kendo Email Finder
Switched From: SignalHire, Snov.io, Skrapp.io, ContactOut and Swordfish
Great prospecting tool
Comments: I love this tool but more needs to be spent on development and integration.
Pros:
it find me mobile numbers i can't find anywhere else and therefore makes a huge impact on the opportunities I can find
Cons:
The lack of integration with SFDC is a pain. The upload to SFDC function was such a fantastic release, a complete game changer for time spent on prospecting. However, it could be a lot better. When you upload a lead it should integrated fields such as country, Job title, lead owner etc so Lusha could definitely be doing better on this part. Providing better field update would bring the company to the next level.
Easiest tool to use for lead management
Pros:
Lusha is a very powerful tool and has a great UX. It allows it's users to capture direct dials, work and personal emails just by navigating to their profiles. List view of contacts is also managed by them, thus making the life of a user easier to navigate through the contacts. Third Party integrations is a bumper feature that reduces a lot of workload where you need to add leads to your CRM manually. Data export/import features are perfectly built and very easy to use.
Cons:
Pricing is on the higher side. Sometimes it feeds you with wrong contacts. Might get air in some cases.
Helpful App
Comments: just the right expectation but could be better. Improve the data and make sure its up to date and as many as possible.
Pros:
When it offers details with a lot of options.
Cons:
when the app offers some details but are very outdated and are no longer working
Alternatives Considered: RocketReach
Reasons for Switching to Lusha: Not me who's deciding.
Generating B2B Leads by this software
Comments: Overall experience is very very good with this software. Solve all the problems.
Pros:
It has a very large no. of user data. You can generate leads using this and can convert them into sales. By using this task seems easy to fetch emails and contact numbers of decision makers. Automatically connect with the Salesforce CRM. Connect with the API's.
Cons:
I don't think there is any less feature in this software. It has everything which needs to be in the sales profile. but they can lower the pricing it looks a little high.
Lusha - A must have for Lead Generators!
Comments: Lead Generation, Business Development, Strategic engagement building, Reach out programs, etc.
Pros:
Lusha is the most user friendly tool available for Lead Managers, Sales prospecting, Demand generation, Strategic Sales, etc. It's API integration works as charm. The compatibility with various CRM tools is an add on.
Cons:
Doesn't give desired results many times. Doesn't work as expected a lot of times.

Thanks for the great feedback! We're always striving to improve our database and results. It's definitely a top priority.
Happy Lusha User
Comments: No complaints - Great product!
Pros:
The ease of use and the quick conversion to CRM
Cons:
So far about 10% or so have only home email addresses listed and that isn't good for what I use it for.

Good but needs improvement
Pros:
Integration with Hubspot and the ease of importing prospects into the CRM.
Cons:
How inconsistent prospect information is. I might look at a prospect on their linked profile and on their hubspot profile or in their employee list in sales navigator in LinkedIn and the information is different for each web page. On their LinkedIn profile it might just have the prospect's phone number, on hubspot it might just have their work email and in sales nav it might just be empty. And then it will expect you to unlock the prospects information again even though you have already unlocked it on a previous webpage. This needs URGENT fixing as it is wasting tokens and time.
One of the best Enrichment tool which can be used by any industry
Pros:
Lusha is one of the best tool available in the market which helps any Database enrichment team work more easy. We have been using multiple tools and Lusha provides the best results. Using Lusha and Hubspot helps easy export of data into the CRM.
Cons:
As not all enrichment platforms are accurate, it happens with Lusha as well for atleast 8-10% of Inaccurate emails/contact details are provided.
Nice alternative to more premium products
Pros:
Good quality contacts at some reasonable pricing. The tools like their extensions all worked smoothly and properly.
Cons:
The contact data wasn't as expansive or detailed a other vendors. Their product suite is a bit smaller compared to other vendor offers.
Lifeline of a Sales Consultant
Comments: Easy, Convenient, Effective, Time Saving
Pros:
Lusha has made life easier by enabling faster access to contacts on LinkedIn. Earlier I would have had to send several messages to a contact in order to get a response. Now I can get their handphone number with one click. It has really helped me in improving the quality of my network with a direct access to them. I don't think any business development professional or consultant can imagine life without LUsha.
Cons:
Many times the contact details are wrong. The phone numbers are not correct. Sometimes no details are given whatsoever.
Accessing contacts of key decision makers
Comments: Love Lusha, makes my life and my teams life much easier and speeds up the process to speak to the key decision maker at byusinesses.
Pros:
I love that if I need to speak to the decision maker at a business, either CEO, Marketing Director or GM Lusha will 50% of the time have the correct mobile number ad email address. This saves me a lot of time as I do not have to go through reception desks to speak to these people
Cons:
It is obviously frustrating that the numbers are only correct 50% of the time.
Lusha review
Pros:
The 'widget' just sits on top of your web pages and works for you. It often finds 'impossible' phone numbers that other solutions simply don't have. Very easy to use.
Cons:
Would be good to be able to import full contacts into SFDC
Excellent tool for lead generation and data extraction
Comments: I am actually able to target the right person rather than trying to connect with that through the office board line numbers because most of the times they never give you their email address. So by using Lusha I am actually able to reach out to the right person and that eventually increases my work efficiency. All in all I am quite happy with Lusha and wish Team Lusha all the best!
Pros:
The best part about Lusha is you can integrate it with LinkedIn and which makes it an excellent tool because you can directly get the email of the person you are trying to target for your sales.
Cons:
The only thing that i dislike about Lusha is the number of free credits they give every month. 5 free credits is too low. They could atleast make them 25, that's what I feel.
