Salesforce's decision to shut down Data.com, due to the demand for more integrated third-party data sources, has left customers seeking alternatives to avoid business disruptions. The phased closure of Data.com's services, including Connect, Prospector, and Clean, highlights concerns over declining data quality, as the platform relied on user-contributed data and an in-platform currency system that no longer incentivizes data contributions. As Data.com services wind down, solutions like Clearbit offer alternatives by providing a suite of products that integrate with Salesforce and other tools, ensuring uninterrupted data services. Clearbit's offerings include Enrichment, Connect, Prospector, and Reveal, each designed to replace and enhance the functionalities of Data.com's services by leveraging real-time, accurate data processed with machine learning. These tools promise improved data quality, real-time updates, and enhanced customer insights, aiming to not only replace Data.com but also enrich the sales process with a deeper understanding of customer relationships.
