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 …
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, …
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.
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. …
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.
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
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.
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 …
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. …
Before using Salesloft, I used MTeams as a dialer. Of course, Salesloft is far more efficient than Teams. I believe they serve their own purpose completely differently and can't be compared.
Salesloft is noticeably easier and more user-friendly than Salesforce, offering a smoother experience for outreach and prospect engagement. However, Salesforce provides more comprehensive reporting capabilities and serves as the primary repository for our historical data. …
(Not exactly HubSpot CRM but their equivalent of Drift's features) Hand-in-hand they are practically the same thing in terms of straight forward chat features, they both integrate on the sight easily, follow the same routing and routines as necessary upon set up, it's a very …
Salesloft Rhythm (BDR/SDR home screen) provides a landing page where all the prioritized work is queued for immediate execution. The UX is clean and the only other elements is a stream of activity indicating prospects interacting with content (e.g. clicking a link in an email). …
We have done our due diligence and explored many, many alternatives. Nothing matches up to Salesloft. We have never really seriously considered changing. Especially for our use case Salesloft stands out.
Salesloft blows outreach out of the water in all aspects. One of the biggest issues I had was their unwillingness to listen to customer feedback. I had requested several small changes to be made when I had previously used the platform that unfortunately fell onto deff ears. I …
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
SalesLoft is my preference for my outreach efforts. Being able to review a lead entirely in Salesloft, even while pulling from Salesforce, but never having to leave - the others could learn a thing or two from that. …
Salesloft has been the most user friendly of the sales enablement tools we have evaluated. We rely on this to train our entry-level SDRs so that they can ramp up quickly to produce results.
Salesloft functionality is optimized. Its easy to use and they are evolving with time. They have integrated AI, features like Rhythm, which is powered by AI helps you do more in less time and tasks that are more impactful and meaningful. It has become all in one platform and …
Gong is looking promising as their AI capabilities far exceed what Salesloft can provide. Gong is also native to Salesforce which helps with pulling the insights we need fast.
Zoominfo engage is too clunky to use. User experience is terrible and not friendly. Too many clicks to do many things that are much easier to do in Salesloft. The native integration to Zoominfo contact data (Sales OS) is nice, but is no better than the integration between …
We only looked at two other tools when implementing Salesloft and the level of support was one of the reasons why we picked it 5 years ago. That and the functionality and integrations with our existing tools. After about three years on the platform, I looked at Outreach again …
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.
I find it to be the best resource for scheduling calls with clients. Specifically when the call includes multiple people using Salesloft, it's so simple and easy to use to send open times to client and then to be able to send active links to the client where with one click the calendar invite shows up on my calendar? it's the best most efficient tool I have in my toolbelt at the moment. When it comes to logging, it's also simple but I wish I could add a contact to SL from the Microsoft integration.
The inbound dialer. I don't particularly like having to open a second window just for inbound calls. Especially if I forget to close it during a meeting and get interrupted.
The texting interface. I can have emails templated, to fill fields pulled from the lead profile, like name, company, positions, etc. I would like the same functionality for texting, especially since I send as many texts as I do emails. Even being able to save snippets or templates would be nice.
On the note of texting, having a dedicated tab in the People view for text messages would do a lot to let me catch up on other people's conversations with the lead, instead of having to find them on the main Activity tab.
SalesLoft is absolutely VITAL to our daily operations. We could not function without it or a program like it. Speaking as a Sales Person who has had to operate without a product like this, the difference is night and day. The ability to stay organized, automate tasks, easily log activities and notes, review calls, and coach team members is an absolute gamechanger.
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.
Drift was extremely easy for both our demand gen team and SDR to jump right into. It was feature rich and purpose-built for marketers—it was remarkably easy to connect our marketing automation, CRM, and more to the platform and get everything to work together. Now the ability to create digital experiences and conversation landing pages is democratized—empowering our team to do better work and provide better prospect/customer experience.
The availability is pretty good, we do sometimes have errors or delays in syncing activities but nothing that has been too detrimental to our workflow. Most recently we had an issue with Lofting through Outlook due to a change in security token that took a few weeks to resolve but it is fixed now.
Yes timely and easy to use. The only delays we have are when we run our big month sales blitz and activities take some time to sync to the reporting as well as SalesForce
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.
The support team was very responsive but at the end of the day they took a long time to fix our issue. The issue did get fixed, though, so that is what matters. Very nice people who are there to help in any way they can.
We had some virtual training with our CSM which was very well constructed. It took some time to get into the full swing of things but with a few weeks of hands on experience I was feeling confidant. The SL team was always available to answer questions or jump an a call to walk us through stuff. I also used the Customer Help Center for a few self guided learnings on how to use specific features related to reporting and team management.
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.
Salesloft Rhythm (BDR/SDR home screen) provides a landing page where all the prioritized work is queued for immediate execution. The UX is clean and the only other elements is a stream of activity indicating prospects interacting with content (e.g. clicking a link in an email). My experience with other tools was that their "home" pages had a dozen icons and it was confusion for someone new to the platform to figure out where to go to work on the next item.
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.
Seen a 200% increase in productivity from our SDR team.
We now have robust data about when the best times to call are and can focus our power hours around those.
We now have an audit history around our emails sent and can dive in and make small changes to templates and snippets to continuously increase our open and click rates.
