6sense: Great at the "Where"

You should choose 6sense if you:

  • Rely on Paid Ads (for ABM)

  • Don't need Contact-level signals

UserGems: "Who+When+Why" & Signal Orchestration

Tells you which Accounts have the most signals
Tells you Who in those accounts most likely convert
Combines UG native & your own signals

* You CAN also bring 6sense' intent and 6QA scores to UserGems as one place for all your signals and scoring.

"Since launching UserGems' AI agent (Gem-E), we've generated nearly $100k in pipeline in just three months through automation!

A key signal has been combining 6sense with Gem-E, which enables timely outreach to in-market accounts and identifies key target buyers. By layering buying signals, we’ve enhanced our targeting.

For example, identifying new leadership hires at in-market accounts has led to early meetings, allowing us to connect with decision-makers within their first 3 months at engaged accounts.

This automation helps us reach out to buyers who look for Mimecast solutions to better protect their organizations."
