Best for Enterprise security buying paid demand
Score, part by part
A tactical source for LinkedIn demand for enterprise security, honing tight audiences and alternative offers, until vanity leads disappear. Use it when TAM is tight and you're fed up with junk leads. Upgrow's work with Orca Security lands it here. Upgrow reports demos from Google Ads up 163% with cost per demo down 41% over four quarters, and LinkedIn leads up 462% with cost per lead down 78% over eight months. Its broad capabilities are a good fit for more mature companies looking for cross-channel paid campaigns and remarketing.

Best for HubSpot-run security teams needing SQLs

Beacon is surgical at RevOps handoffs and HubSpot plumbing, so content and SDRs finally groove together. Use them when your creation engine doesn't need more content, but does need more SQLs. Beacon counts cybersecurity clients such as RiskLens/FAIR Institute, Cyderes and Cysiv among its Clutch reviewers. That makes it a strong team for companies looking to translate complex security products into growth across content, automation and marketing operations such as HubSpot. Beacon is now part of Yes& and operates as Yes& Beacon.
