Overview

About Pipl

Pipl is an identity management software that helps investigators and fraud analysts gain visibility into current and historical information regarding specific individuals. The search functionality allows law enforcement, cybercrime, and insurance fraud management professionals to find identity data, such as email alias, social media handles, phone numbers, education details, and job information. Pipl allows businesses to extract identity information from several sources, such as the internet, public records, directories, listings, and archives, among other data points. It lets staff members utilize the built-in geographical maps to view home and work address locations with street, roadmap, and satellite views. Additionally, supervisors can generate reports to gain insights into platform usage, match rates, and other key metrics. Pipl comes with an application programming interface (API), which allows organizations to integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. It is available on annual subscriptions and support is extended via documentation, live chat, email and other online measures.

One of the largest people search engines that exist

I have been using Pipl a lot for the past few months and it has proved to be quite useful for me

What they liked

What I liked the most about Pipl was its ability to provide information on literally anyone even on such people that other similar softwares knew nothing about

Room for improvement

I didn’t like the fact that just like I could use Pipl to get information on anyone I want other people could also use it to find out information on me

Great information, but painful to get customer support or even an account

We wanted to use this to verify memberships to our product as well as validate emails as legitimate and social media usernames on our product.

What they liked
  • Great way to verify identities, usernames, contact info, etc
  • Probably the best collection of online user data
Room for improvement
  • The Cost and the hurdles of entry to test it out
  • This used to be freely available, but now to even apply for a test account, there are several layers of approval and back and forth just to be considered
  • There is no direct pay option or way to sign up without fighting with customer support
  • It's a room for improvement
Why they chose it

"Pipl had better information and was easier to use (once you finally get access) but it was cost prohibitive and other offerings aren't nearly as painful to work with."

Used to be Good

What used to be good has now dwindled and I will look forward to the next runner up.

What they liked

What I like about this software is that it does provide information that I sometimes cannot find on Google

Room for improvement
  • Following the fall of 123People, Pipl quickly took the lead, improving their software and allowing me to find information that I either could not find on Google, or was more difficult
  • However, the site seems to be slipping over the last year or so
  • I find information isn't as readily available as it once was
  • But moreso, the robot security protocols requiring the user to click and verify that we are not robots, then having to select images related to a topic, that never seem to work
  • It is frustrating and time consuming having to do this three or four times each time I click into the site
  • Pipl has fallen from the top of my list of resources to the bottom

Easy and quick data appending service

Real Estate

What they liked
  • Their match rate and accuracy are well above industry standard
  • They were also very communicative throughout our initial conversations and onboarding for use
  • Overall we're very happy with our use of Pipl and will continue to use them in the future based on data quality that they provide
  • We are also looking in to using their API to avoid manual exchange of data
Room for improvement
  • It's a pretty straightforward product so not a whole lot to hate
  • It would be great if they provided us with access on their website for a 'do it yourself' option as opposed to going back and forth with them but their API will greatly reduce this issue

An easy to use people finder that is free to use yet potent.

I've used it to find out if people met thru internet was real or fake. It worked well on most cases.

What they liked
  • It's ease of use is unparalled, you just land at the site, punch a name and optional location and it will search for the most likely searched person
  • It works wonders and it's no surprise many HR departments are using it while screening the possible recruits
Room for improvement

As of now, if your IP sends too many people searches, it will block the IP for a day or so, something that was not implemented before

Great social media / hard to find information

Used daily for less than 6 months

What they liked
  • PIPL is a great tool for searching social networks and lesser known sites when people searching
  • Information is very accurate
Room for improvement
  • I signed up for the free trial
  • I don't think the information is worth it

deep people data

Good for building ABM campaigns using advanced segmentation available from all the additional data components that become available from the product

What they liked
  • very good coverage of people data for building customer personas for sales and marketing
  • The data is really deep provides locations, past employment histories of key executives for B2B sales
  • Also access to API directly loads into our CRM
  • Good for ABM
Room for improvement
  • Can become expensive to use if the house list is very large

I use it to find more information about the person Im looking. For example: phones, email address.

Used daily for less than 6 months

What they liked
  • What I like the most is that I can find the middle initial for the person
  • And maybe its useful for guessing the email address
Room for improvement
  • What I like the least is that the phone numbers that are written are not good phones
  • At least, thats what happened to me

Help people fill out your forms...

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • Or at least that's what I'm using Pippl for
  • If you can provide me with your email address, I can use their data to cross-reference the email and retrieve other social media profiles, phone numbers addresses and more
  • Gotta love it
Room for improvement
  • I wasn't too pleased with the forced "interview process" and the constant follow ups of "when are you planning to start using it more"
  • Stop rushing me
  • :)

Finding info on people

What they liked

Returned a lot of results and was able to easily find the person I was looking for

Room for improvement
