I had less issues with logging with he other two, compared to Groove, a Clari company.

Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Trello, Atlassian Confluence, Calendly and Zoom
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove is at the top of my list in comparison to others in the market.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I prefer Groove because of its seamless integration with Salesforce and Gmail, and the User Interface is much more simple and user friendly,
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Didn't choose as this was a company wide decision, but outreach is less user friendly and the UI on Groove is better overall
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove's integration with Salesforce is its primary differentiator. Outreach/Salesloft cater to all CRMs and their sync with SFDC has a delay, requires additional configuration, and is often frustrating for admins.

Salesforce Sales Engagement (formerly High Velocity Sales) also …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I have not used other products like Groove before in the past.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Orum is better for calls, Groove is better for emails (my opinion, others may see it differently).
Chose Groove, a Clari company
It's not that Hubspot is better than Groove, it's that our data does not pull over to groove very well from hubspot.

So, if you are going to attract hubspot customers, you need to have a better process for moving your data over
Chose Groove, a Clari company
We demo'd Ourtreach and Outplay. Outreach would never really focus on what I, as a salesperson, was looking for - they liked to talk about the features geared to management and marketing in regards to reporting and the dashboard. They didn't have a trial either - and I would …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I have not tried others
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I used Outreach at a previous company, and Outreach works very well. The fact is, when we were looking at programs like Groove, we were, and still are, comparatively, pretty small. Price was a big factor in our decision and what had us in the end going with Groove. Yay!
Chose Groove, a Clari company
We used 2 other products not listed above and both were awful, especially Zynbit (crashed my computer any time i used it).
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove.cm is a feature-rich online software option for marketing and CRM-related purposes for any business. I may not able to compare it to other products but I know Groove gave me a chance to perform more efficiently since I don't need to check my email from time to time. As …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove is definitely more user friendly than SalesLoft
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I have used Dialpad.

Dialpad is great, and Groove in my opinion does everything Dialpad does. Dialpad lacks the automation, which makes me feel that Groove is much better.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I would prefer Groove over RingDNA because when I used RingDNA before I was totally lost. The design was not on point so you really have to navigate and explore it.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I selected Groove as the best application for our daily job since it gives us a lot of help when we can't reach our client by phone calls and also helps us to monitor our emails, meeting schedule, updates, and client meetings and the very important is we can monitor our sales.
Mixmax
Chose Mixmax
Truly is easier for phone capabilities (letting customers call you back and having it go to your phone but still being a fake number), while mixmax is much better for email sending and tracking via gmail. Truly had no email capabilities when I was using it, so it was only …
Chose Mixmax
All due respect to Boomerang, but it simply doesn't compare (in my experience) to Mixmax. Mixmax is significantly easier to use, the features are more relevant, and the customer service is excellent. Mixmax has increased my productivity tenfold! I recommend it to all of my …
Chose Mixmax
Calendly is a good tool and has similar benefits to Mixmax. However, the email templates are easier to use in Mixmax and the calendar availability tool is something that Calendly does not do well. There is less control in Calendly and Mixmax's tool is unique and far superior.
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax allows for more personalization and a better response rate. It doesn't have the same customizability as mailchimp but at least people read your emails and they don't just get sent to a promotions folder.
Chose Mixmax
It is more advance than Outreach. It has one of the best integration features, easily integrate with other soft wares that we already were using. For example, it easily integrates with Salesforce and other CRM too. Support team is Mixmax is by far the most responsive and fair …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax's extension always load and is always on. With Outreach, we'd have to sign into it every day. If we forgot to sign in, nothing is tracked.
Chose Mixmax
I find the handling of Mixmax much easier. They are actually almost the same tools, but I find Mixmax much easier to use.
Chose Mixmax
I have only used Mixmax. When I worked at Yelp we used in-house service for our templates however there was no sequencing effect. We had to touch each account every other day because we were simply outbound. At my current role, I am doing inbound, outbound, and I have meetings …
Chose Mixmax
I love Acuity & Mixmax for different purposes.

Acuity is great for running something like a coaching business - or a calendar that gets lots of calls booked every day or every week.
Chose Mixmax
Tellwise is a bit more expensive $29/month/user and provides a bit more extended functionality for email and marketing automation. However, Mixmax's feature-set is still suitable for marketing automation and covers everything that is necessary for most sales for early-stage …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax combines the functions of all these software products (plus, I'm sure, many more out there) and integrates them all seamlessly into their platform. It also has more features that are fantastic to have such as tracking analytics, sequencing, scheduling, and reminders. …
Chose Mixmax
Acuity Scheduling, Calendly, Bananatag, Hubspot Sidekick (since rebranded to Hubspot sales).

It does all the features that these have, and better. Can iframe your calendar into your own website which allows for even better tracking and analytics than Calendly, gives more info on …
Chose Mixmax
Mixmax is far better than HubSpot's alternative because when I used HubSpot, they did not have a "remind" feature, only basic email open tracking. The ability to select a date and time to be reminded with Mixmax and also track link clicks is superior in my experience. There may …
Chose Mixmax
Yesware has a terrible interface and even worse support. Tried them for a while and switched to Mixmax.
Chose Mixmax
MixMax completely beats out Yesware and SharpSpring. While comparable in price to Yesware, you get several more features. MixMax is at a much lower price point compared to SharpSpring, and includes all the same functionality of email tracking and scheduling out multiple …

When Groove was able to notify me that the other party already seen the email is pretty nice. It help us a lot to prepare what they will have to say. It will also help our business to grow more since they know that we are professionally waiting for them to reply.

Mixmax is very well suited for sharing calendar availability via email with a client. Multiple time blocks can be shared, and the bridge between Gmail and other colleagues allows you to hold a meeting time on calendars to prevent overbooking with colleagues. This is extremely helpful when scheduling a large call and juggling many people's schedules.

Pros
  • Groove lets us know real-time when a client has checked an email we sent them.
  • Groove helps us streamline our day-to-day events, meetings, and tasks with the help of the Calendar Booking feature.
  • Groove helps us save a lot of time on typing long letters when we explain our products to our customers with the help of their Templates feature.

  • The scheduling integration is really easy for email recipients. It is quite literally one-click for them to schedule an event from a meeting time list interface.
  • The interface is extremely well-designed and intuitive across the board. This makes it really easy to learn their software and integrate it into your workflow.
  • Their pricing is *extremely* convenient for startups. Their "starter" plan is extremely affordable (currently $9/month/user), and includes unlimited tracking, templates, reminders, automation, etc... Basically, everything you would need to upgrade your email automation workflow.

Cons
  • The footprint of the person who lasts touches the information.
  • The footprint of the person who edited the information.
  • Date and time of the modification of the account owner.
  • Date and time of the modification of the last person touching the account.

  • On occasion, Mixmax fails to sync to my email and I've had to reach out to support to remedy the issue.
  • Offering "link click tracking" for the lowest plan would be great for users, especially those new to the software so they can realize more of the benefits.
  • For the lower plan, I wish email opens were able to be tracked when sending to multiple people in the same email.

Groove is integral to our process and we're glad the price is affordable. The only way we would replace Groove is if the price went up or our C-suite decides to want a took that goes beyond Sales Enablement and Sales Automation

Usability
Groove is incredibly easy to use, and is flexible enough to use in a way that suits each rep. With the Omnibar, it can be used directly from Outlook, or reps can use it directly in the Groove platform itself. You can use their built-in dialer, email functionality, and even some LInkedIn messages.

Our Groove representative has been very attentive the the needs of our sales teams. They are always available to provide training for new employees and refreshers for members of the team who have been slow to adopt. The online support is also very good, I have had several questions answered quickly using the online support chat function.

Every time I have reached out to Mixmax I automatically get an email from a trained professional who has perfect insight into my issue with an understandable reason to why I am having and issue offers me a solution. The wait time is only around 5 minutes and they are always offering sympathy in certain situations.

Groove's integration with Salesforce is its primary differentiator. Outreach/Salesloft cater to all CRMs and their sync with SFDC has a delay, requires additional configuration, and is often frustrating for admins. Salesforce Sales Engagement (formerly High Velocity Sales) also has a native integration (with no sync), but Groove is easier to use for the typical sales manager/sales rep end user. With Sales Engagement, I would be needed to help build functionality and alleviate issues, whereas with Groove, our users are much more self-sufficient.

Return on Investment
  • Reduced several hours a week of logging time in Salesforce that either wouldn't get done or would have been done to the detriment of more value add activities.
  • Saves hours per week by delivering actionable/useful info from Salesforce into Gmail
  • Gives me valuable insight on what emails are being opened and read. This helps plan targeting.

  • Email tracking gives me the results of emails, whether or not the client is interested when they open and read the email which makes it the best platform.
  • The automated sending email is the big feature in Mixmax, the system automatically send the email on respective entries which actually saves the time and help in be productive at work.
