Apollo.io vs. MediaRadar

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.

If you're looking for contacts and leads in the media and advertising space, this is a very useful tool. I only have the light version, so I only have access to contact information, which is good for our budget. It makes it very easy to find the right people to get in touch with on media and advertising opportunities. If you pay more, you also get good info on their spend, spending categories, and spending periods.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Data is mostly invalid and out of date. We had to look for a new solution.

Generally quite a reliable tool with decent data quality/availability. Pricing works well for our team and our use case

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.

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.

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 pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

MediaRadar was the best tool in the native advertising space. We use a combination of multiple resources like Alf, Winmo, Seller Crowd to get a holistic view. Every platform has its unique advantages and disadvantages over the others. MediaRadar's support is outstanding and makes it easy to work with them. Winmo has a more comprehensive view of media budgets compared to MR.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Since I use Media Radar to locate brand information as well as contacts for outreach, it has positively impacted the amount of opportunities my organization receives.
