Hey Grant C. yes, i’ve tested 6sense alongside clay for B2B GTM and demand gen it works well if you’ve got the budget and an ops setup that can actually activate the intent data for most teams, it ends up heavier than needed if you want a lighter and cheaper stack clay paired with Bombora, ZoomInfo Intent, or RollWorks gets you most of the value without the enterprise overhead clay handles the data, scoring, routing, and automation, and the intent layer just plugs in on top if you want, i can share a few stack setups depending on your budget and team size.

There are a bunch of tools in this space (including ours) - are you looking for specific type of intent data that 6s provides or are you looking for orchestration of digital campaigns? 6s does a bunch of things 😊

Grant C. Depends on what you're trying to use 6sense for. Like Imran P. said, there are lots of newer tools you can use to fill the gaps and leverage Clay's functionality alongside those tools.
