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. …
TechTarget Priority Engine
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
Intentsify Intelligence Activation Platform, Demandbase One, ZoomInfo Marketing and HG Insights Platform
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
We recently switched from techtarget to 6sense and I like it a lot more when it comes to account intent and helping you prioritize / recommend actions to take
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I was not the decision maker on why the company chose Tech Target. Personally, I could have used more training on how to get the most out of the platform, but I didn't know what I didn't know
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget has much more specific information. You can see actual names and titles of prospect engaging with content. This makes a cold call a little more warm.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE is a more robust and complete tool for our requirements. Onboarding and ease of use is another area where it comes out on top.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget Priority Engine integrates well with Salesforce. I'm able to keep track of all the prospects and it gives me valid contact data.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I didn't select TechTarget, but I do appreciate the content information that it provides.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE in my mind is a blend of the two. It has pretty accurate contact info, and also great at sending the reports that I mentioned. While demandbase uses a scoring system for targets, TechTarget Priority Engine just sends the name. so it's nice to check it against DB and get a …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
They are different tools and don't directly compete.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
Each has its perks. Using them in conjunction with each other will deliver the best results. TechTarget Priority Engine gives info on items accounts are searching for and what is relevant to them today. It provides specific conversation tracks to create opportunities (current …

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.

TechTarget would notify us when prospects looked us up by name or specifically researched areas where our product would prove beneficial. It did a great job gauging legitimate interest from the prospect and gave an idea of a timeline as well so that we could understand their urgency.

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.
Read full review
  • Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
  • I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
  • TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

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.
Read full review
  • The site loads kind of slowly. It seems like it takes a while for all of the information to populate on the screen.
  • I would like to be able to make calls directly from TechTarget Priority Engine.
  • Give real time notification when a prospect is on our site.

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.

Usability is great, we would love to see how strong the intent is for every keywords

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.

I'm just a business user of TechTarget so I really haven't had the chance to gauge what the support is from a customer standpoint. Given that we recently rolled it out and everyone is utilizing it daily I would assume that their support is strong enough for us to continues to use it.

TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read a white paper or downloaded a brochure, which made my timing for prospecting much easier. I do believe ZoomInfo's company directories are more robust and wide-spread

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.
Read full review
  • I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
  • On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
  • I recommend they develop better training for first time users specific to a variety of use cases
