Considered Both Products
Apollo.io
Chose Apollo.io
It is more advanced than Outplay, better integrations, introduction of AI features. It was a better fit than Outplay for our business needs.
Chose Apollo.io
havent used many others, but, to me, Apollo.io seems to be the best,
Chose Apollo.io
I just did the trial so this question in not relevant.
Chose Apollo.io
Outreach is way better than Apollo.io
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo has a built-in customer and contact base. That was the major point.
Chose Apollo.io
less expensive and more comprehensive.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is much cheaper compared to the others. The filter options are much better in Apollo.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for …
Chose Apollo.io
In Outreach, when a Sequence ends, a pop-up automatically appears prompting you to add the person to the next Sequence. Apollo.io doesn’t have this feature. Outreach also allows you to run Sequences directly from the Extension, and the workflow is person-centric. For example, …
Chose Apollo.io
I think the platform is more user-friendly, and the data is more concise.
Chose Apollo.io
In terms of everything Apollo.io was very user friendly and was more accurate. The data received was on point and we did get more contact and email data from Apollo.io rather than Linkedin. The value for money was way better than the platforms we tried.
Chose Apollo.io
As of now Apollo definitely seems to be better than ZoomInfo.
Chose Apollo.io
So we have evaluated Seamless AI, Enrich AI, and Snov.io before finally deciding to settle for Apollo. These platforms have better UI and some, like Snov, have good email sending capability, but they all lag when it comes to their database; they do not match up to Apollo. …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is my favorite in terms of the quality for emails and phone . and i have been using so many other tools which unable to gave me that kind of data.
Chose Apollo.io
I have not used other products.
Chose Apollo.io
The main other product I've used is Hubspot but I used that as more of a CRM and where I wasn't focused on prospecting, generating leads, sequences, etc with it even though I know that is a possibility. So I can't necessarily compare the two given I used them for separate tasks
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io has a mid tier dialer that I was looking to replace. Ultimately, I never replaced Apollo.io's dialer because it was really nice to just have one single tool that everything worked through, and never had to transfer data or call logs between platforms.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io stacks up against other interfaces because of its overall all in one prospecting tool capabilities right from account identification to end to end reachout to leads no other prospecting tool provides such wide range of features for a bd reachout. It's a …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io is much faster in gathering data that I'm searching for and it's pretty simple to control. I can also save searches, lists, and export the data at whichever capacity I desire. Also, I like the new features that involve AI, Buying Intent, and LinkedIn data scraping. …

Chose Data Axle Genie
Zoom Info is always going to be the most robust. They have the best-verified data in the area. BUT they are incredibly expensive. Data Axel Genie is actually less expensive, but you get what you pay for. You may not have the cleanest contacts, but you have more options.
Chose Data Axle Genie
Customer service! Love being able to call and get a rep on the phone who actually knows my name.
Chose Data Axle Genie
Salesgenie is comparable to many of the big names out there. However, depending on your needs and financial capabilities is what you get out of it. Though it provides a great list of leads, it makes it a little difficult with the incorrect information. I would rank it top 10 …
Chose Data Axle Genie
Salesgenie seemed more intuitive and knowledgeable account manager that handled my account. He quickly assisted my company needs and made recommendations based on the information I provided him.
Chose Data Axle Genie
DiscoverOrg was the best, it had an amazing organization structure that made it easy to find the right person. However, it was tremendously expensive. ZoomInfo was the product we chose because it had the largest database and great tools for searching and Salesforce. It was also …

Likelihood to Recommend
The automatic email feature is extremely helpful for quickly contacting more potential clients. It is user-friendly and easy to access all buttons, which helps you navigate the task efficiently. It could greatly help to acquire more clients for a project to be successful. I cannot see anything less appropriate for me to achieve the goal I am aiming for.

Salesgenie is great for business to consumer. If you are a financial adviser, insurance sales rep or solar sales, this is an ideal low-cost database that will help significantly. However, if you sell Business to Business, I would not recommend this product. It is not geared toward corporate structure and doesn't provide any value.

Pros
  • Consolidates tool and packs in a lot of functionality
  • Keeps up with the industry trends for prospecting and data enrichment
  • Offers the basics you need to get going
  • Account mapping to Salesforce - reps can prospect in Apollo and can easily toggle on views to only see their own accounts.

  • I liked the organization of the database it was easy to maneuver.
  • Search was fairly easy to maintain.
  • If you want to create a list of leads this will work. However, it is primarily for consumer leads not B2B.

Cons
  • I thought the AI email-generating function was weak. The email sounded way too robotic.
  • I wish there were a split-screen option that allowed me to view my lists and leads simultaneously.
  • I wish putting contacts into lists wouldn't cost any credits.

  • We have a very specific industry and sometimes drilling down to these leads can be challenging. But with customer service, they have solved this for us.

It was good when we had it but there definitely more softwares out there that provide more information, more current contact info and are much more user friendly

Usability
Apollo.io has an amazing amount of features. It's great being able to complete so many tasks in one space but it's also overwhelming. It took me a few days to work through all of the options when searching for a company or person. After a few days it started to provide companies for me which was confusing before I understood what was happening. At first, I was also confused about what a "sequence" was so maybe some of the jargon can be confusing. I think with time I will become more comfortable once I understand all of the options offered.

Easy to use and great customer service.

Support Rating
The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

Return on Investment
  • Increased # of booked meetings from outbound email outreach.
  • Our sales team's productivity has improved when prospecting/doing outreach (which has a monetary value, given our salaried status). This makes us more productive, enabling us to accomplish more and reach a greater number of people in a day.
  • We've only recently implemented this, so we're still waiting to close, but leads are on their way to doing so.

  • Positive nice organization to establish a call list
  • Nice structure, great way to target hot or cold leads. Great way to get your feet wet
