Cirrus Insight vs. Prospect (tryprospect.com)

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).

Its well suited If you find yourself manually placing contact details in CRMs or you're using multiple tools to find relevant and accurate contact details. Not so relevant if you already sheet of contact details and you can simply import it as a CSV in certain tools

• 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.

Incentivized

• Update new lead lists
• Create new contacts
• Sequence prospects

• 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.

• Minimizing minor bugs
• Being able to export contacts for varying accounts to corresponding tabs in Google Drive
• Being able to prospect more than 25 at a time

It is the best google to salesforce integration on the market. support is incredibly responsive and very helpful. They are constantly adding new features, and the current feature set is well beyond anything else that is currently offered in the market

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.

Super easy to use, the only thing I wish they would change is that you always need to check the prospects linkedin page to see if there's been an update to their contact (eg. if contact didnt have a mobile number saved, they may now, so you need to check linkedin every single time before reaching out). Other than that, this is by far the best tool for pulling numbers and emails.

Haven't had a down issue in the almost 2 years I've been using the product. Support is also super responsive.

Pulls in salesforce data very quickly, and syncs very quickly.

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.

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 my memory isn't as fresh as it could be

zoominfo has old contact info, a lot of the time i look at specific people and their companies aren't updated. I get intent emailed to me from zoominfo for job changes and it will be 6-12 months after someone changed jobs so the information is just not accurate enough. apollo only pulls headquarters info, never had an accurate cell number from it so i stopped using it pretty quickly during our eval

• More efficient. It only takes a few seconds to upload an email to the right location.
• More emails in Salesforce now, where as before, people didn't even try uploading it due to the difficulty.
• Equality across the board. Everyone is on the same page in how we record things.

Incentivized

• I prefer using it from the SalesNav page compared to Zoominfo - seems way more up to date
• Allows me to massively scale my prospecting by keeping me in page and I don't have to look up and cross reference on other tools
• While it has a smaller set of functionality that I can use it for relative to Zoominfo, the things that it does do I've always felt it did a better job
• Really simple UI and doesn't prompt me to sign in every day which I appreciate.
