Considered Both Products	Autoklose Jena Apgar Cofounder Chose Autoklose Most closely is SalesFlare and they directly pull in information for me and have a pipeline so it has been my go to for more important colder sequences as it has more end to end tracking Incentivized Helpful? JM Jonathan Miri Owner Chose Autoklose Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Compared to Outreach, Autoklose is similar in the best ways. Both allow you to create email sequences that naturally appear to forward the previous message. Outreach is really intended for Salesforce users, so many of the features seem useless unless you use salesforce. … Incentivized Helpful?

In case something is unclear, the Support team always helps to figure it out quickly and clearly. Incentivized Helpful? Manzar Bashir, PPABP, Chartered MCIPD Director Psychological Assessments Chose Autoklose I have used mailer lite but the experience was average at best. I would definitely recommend Autoklose for smaller companies. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Outranks them across the board including price, functionality, and customer support, etc. Incentivized Helpful? AGUSTIN ROSA MARIN CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Autoklose For me, the most important "why" I selected Autoklose against other platforms is because it had a cheaper price, a very professional team, and it has everything I needed in order to be productive, keep in touch with my team, and use my personal email. And one very important … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Autoklose allows for much more personal emails rather than the typical "mass" email format used by Mailchimp and others. The emails from Autoklose truly look like one you would receive from any person and we have had much higher engagement from these rather than the standard … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Other options have less effective user interfaces. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose We used this tool previously and it worked OK but did not integrate with Repfabric or provide the robust reporting as Autoklose. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Autoklose was the first product of its kind that we tested out. Compared to mass emailing with Outlook Autoklose did wonders for our organization. It solved a problem that no other prospective person could do. Incentivized Helpful? MB Micah Binns CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Autoklose Mailshake is more complicated because it's a direct email sender, but it gives you its opinion on the type of messages you may send. The advantage Autoklose takes is the data base and it's more of a lead gen system. LeadFuze is on course with Autokloze. It seems LeadFuze has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose I haven't used any other actual products similar to Autoklose. I would do things manually, which took forever and often would fall to the bottom of my to-do list. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose It's quite similar to Yesware. Both have the great basic functionality of email outreach and simple data tracking. I believe Mixmax had already provided more functionality lately, so I'd tier it a step above. Outreach is on a different level and one of the industry leaders. Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Olesen Consultant Chose Autoklose I think that I have already said it, Autoklose has much better support and is really quick to set up and use compared with any of the other systems that I have used over the years. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Autoklose Autoklose provided a different set of tools that focused solely on ensuring accurate emails get sent.

DG Dianna Geairn Director, Strategic Partnerships Chose Autoklose Autoklose combines all the necessary resources for sending a campaign to a targeted (and clean) list of prospects.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	I would recommend Autoklose to smaller teams that do not have the tools and processes in place for conducting sales outreach or business development activities. I would also recommend it to Sales development reps who are relying on manually managing their sales outreach without the benefits of automation. I'd also recommend it if they are trying to do the above while using a CRM like Pipedrive, as Autoklose works well with some CRMs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	It is helping in editing, managing, and send[ing] out large marketing campaigns. It is easy to handle multiple emails in appropriate sequence. Our company [has been] using this for a very long time. It is one of the perfect email solutions we found for our organization. I have been very much impressed by their support staff. Incentivized Ryan Dury Senior Manager Strategic Accounts & Sales Support Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	The system is not designed to send out hundreds of emails within the hour. Thus if you have timely information, and you have a large list, it will generally take many hours to execute. Related to the above, timing of email delivery does jot exist nor can it be customized by timezone. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Will 100% be renewing all 3 seats. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It is well set out from a user interface perspective and once you understand how it works you understand the power and the logic of how it is done. Like any software it helps to be a frequent user, but Autoklose lets you set up campaigns in the shortest possible time based on experience with other systems that I have used.

Alternatives Considered	Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, and I'm able to give them great scores for their product and their service. Salesloft was less robust, and Mailshake wasn't sophisticated enough for my needs. Incentivized JM Jonathan Miri Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Scalability	It's expensive to have a single seat for each salesperson, so the alias feature will be the perfect addition to this product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	This product saves my business development manger at least 2 hours per day. The weekly digest reports give us a nice look at how the campaign is performing. Having the analytics for the whole campaign in an easy-to-read format gives a quick snapshot of the campaign activity.
