Considered Both Products
Cirrus Insight
Chose Cirrus Insight
We used Cirrus Insights for a period of time and then switched to Salesforce Inbox because Salesforce Inbox was included in our Salesforce license which made the change easier to do since there was no financial impact of making the switch. We didn't spend very much time …
Chose Cirrus Insight
Cirrus actually works. Tout does not work, and slows down your computer.

Salesforce Inbox works for logging emails, but lacks other functionality.
Chose Cirrus Insight
We use Outreach to drive campaigns now. We've been successful with it for several reasons:
1- Our business operations team knows it and is able to coach us on how to use it
2- We use it across several departments (Marketing, SDE team, AE team, Customer Success - though we may be …
Chose Cirrus Insight
Cirrus is great with importing templates and leads from Salesforce when compared to yesware
Chose Cirrus Insight
We use gmail as our corporate email server and was by far the best option for our combined use of gmail and Salesforce.
Chose Cirrus Insight
Yesware regularly sent me alerts that my emails had been opened by someone who I hadn't sent them to, from locations they couldn't possibly have been. I also don't recall its Salesforce activity logging working as smoothly, though I last used Yesware more than 12 months ago so …
Chose Cirrus Insight
We were just using the free email to Salesforce option, which sends your email to an inbox within Salesforce. Then you are required to address it to the correct location. It's a two step process, so that was cumbersome. Or, some of my coworkers would drag the email onto their …
Chose Cirrus Insight
Cirrus Insight works for us because we use Outlook and MailTrack does not work with Outlook last time I checked.
Chose Cirrus Insight
Cirrus Insight is a light-weight affordable tool that offers reasonable bang for your buck. However it does not have the reliability of other more enterprise-like platforms nor does it have the advanced features that are becoming of an email support tool - such as more advanced …
Chose Cirrus Insight
The decision was made at my current role before I was hired, but I made the decision in a previous role to personally pay for Cirrus Insight, as I found it that valuable. This was after my entire sales team did a trial of Yesware, which I found to be a bit clunky and not as …
Chose Cirrus Insight
While I really liked Toutapp's social integration, it left a lot to be desired with the SFDC integration, which was a higher priority for me. It does what both Boomerang and Yesware do IMO for my purposes in one, easy to use app that doesn't dominate my screen.
Chose Cirrus Insight
Appirio was already being used by our organization. We'd also tried using various email connectors.
Salesforce Inbox
Chose Salesforce Inbox
While I have not used many other automated email CRM integration systems, SalesforceIQ is hands down a crucial part of my daily work flow. I could not picture our company putting up the monthly numbers we are able to allocate without the efficiency and concise notification …
Chose Salesforce Inbox
SalesforceIQ Inbox and Hubspot are both useful in small business organizations. Since they almost have the same features it's hard to tell why SalesforceIQ Inbox is better than other tools. I think the G Suite integration with filters feature is an advantage. The fact is when …

Likelihood to Recommend
For someone who uses both Gmail and Salesforce as part of their main role, this software is an invaluable connector for them both. Some of the features are also not Salesforce specific - such as the Meeting Scheduler, which has proved invaluable to me, and I would recommend to any Gmail user who frequently set up meetings (either internally or externally).

When sending emails Salesforce Inbox provides valuable insights before sending. We usually send emails to clients and before Salesforce Inbox we would need to check in Salesforce to get details regarding the contact we are sending to. With the Salesforce Inbox there is no need to look in Salesforce as it is connected directly to Gmail or Outlook.

Pros
  • Log email to Salesforce. You click one button and it logs for you. This is easier than adding the BCC email address that Salesforce provides as a way to log email.
  • Track views and engagement on these emails. It's nice to know if the email was opened and if links were clicked.
  • Update quick fields in Salesforce directly from their inbox using Cirrus. This prevented reps from needing to click into Salesforce, wait for it to load, then update fields like the phone number or name.
  • If the rep did need to open Salesforce, Cirrus provides a quick button to navigate to the Lead/Contact/Opportunity page quickly.

  • Fast email templates
  • Alerts you when someone has read your email
  • Ability to quickly schedule emails to go out at a specific time

Cons
  • Email Tracking is not always accurate - this can be due to the nature of the device and the email client used by the recipient.
  • Gmail app is subject to being glitchy and auto-log out out behavior.
  • Meeting time function is limited in its functionality and is prone to glitches as reported by clients.
  • Send later function works about 85% of the time.
  • Follow up intervals are too short and should provide more customised options.

  • We have to manually approve the logging of activity. The "auto-log" feature wasn't showing up on reports
  • Should be easier to create leads and contacts from emails. You don't have to leave the window--which is nice--but you still have to copy paste
  • I would like Salesforce Tasks to be more visible. I'm always forgetting about tasks I have.

Usability
Very easy to use. Everything opens in a familiar interface right inside the google apps sidebar. It brings in salesforce records, so as long as you know google apps / gmail and salesforce you'll be all set. It's point and click.

The plugin is installed inside your internet browser as an extension/add-on. It can be found in most add on stores and is easy to install. Usually just a few clicks. It handles authorization for you once you sign in, and then takes care of all the rest. It couldn't be easier to get working right out of the box. You're up in running in less than 5 minutes.

While I have not used many other automated email CRM integration systems, SalesforceIQ is hands down a crucial part of my daily work flow. I could not picture our company putting up the monthly numbers we are able to allocate without the efficiency and concise notification settings SalesforceIQ gives Everlasting Capital. I highly recommend if you're looking for fast integration results to update numerous departments within your company, to look into SalesforceIQ as it will make your daily tasks substantially easier while keeping all parties more thoroughly notified.
