Outreach vs. Revenue.io

Outreach is well-suited for organizations that want to send bulk sales prospecting emails and need a platform that can enhance domain and email deliverability. It is less suitable for organizations that don't use email prospecting or have fewer than 500 customers or prospects.

Despite a few of the design/interface frustrations, Revenue.io (RingDNA) is a powerful that is well made and continues to improve. Conversation AI, while underutilized at our company, can provide great value to any Sales team if used correctly. I look forward to seeing what new changes come our way

• Building sequences, using a omni channel approach.
• Detailed report of each team members activity (email, calling, socials etc.)
• Clear overview of prospect and account summary.
• Straight to the point menu navigation.
• Email outbox, very useful for analysing low hanging fruit.
• Good integration with other tools.

Incentivized

• I can easily track the volume and methods of outgoing calls, thus being able to carry out a deep analysis of the calls that have been made every day.
• Calls can be heard again and can also be forwarded to work colleagues within the same platform.
• It has a friendly interface which allows easy learning for new users and thus to be able to adapt almost immediately.

Incentivized

• When sequencing, I need to mark multiple leads, and using the search bar, it will uncheck all the leads that were previously checked.
• Calls drop constantly.
• Syncing contacts and leads with SF is challenging. The buttons to synchronize with CRM are available when searching for a contact or lead, but you cannot sync it when viewing the lead or contact itself.

Incentivized

• It constantly logs out and forces me to log back in through both RingDNA and Salesforce before calling or texting anyone which requires a 2 step process. This can be prevented by logging into RingDNA at the start of each day before Salesforce, I just need to make this a habit!
• When you go into "Contacts" in the dialer and search for someone, it does not predictively auto-populate Contacts based on what you have typed so far (unlike Salesloft, Outreach, etc) so you end up typing most of the contact's name each time when searching. Not a huge deal since I am primarily searching for people in Salesforce, but it would be nice to have this in dialer as well.

Based simply on cost savings, it would make the most sense for us to utilize Salesforce Sales Engagement moving forward. We already pay for access as part of our contract and it would provide more users with access to a sales automation tool. Upon vetting its capabilities, we've determined it can effectively replicate the core functionality that we get out of Outreach.

Incentivized

High level of satisfaction with the platform.

Being in a role that required me to do a lot of prospecting, I spent more time in Outreach than any other platform. It had everything within that I needed to be successful in my role. It was extremely customizable and easy to learn. There were occasional bugs, but nothing that kept me from doing my job.

I can say that this platform has been a great help from the beginning of the implementation and has helped exponentially to grow as a company. At no time have we had problems at the beginning or any confusion when using this software for the first time, it has always been very easy to use its interface and tool. In case we don't know something, technical support has always been helpful.

For the most part Outreach is always available. There are sometimes when they do a new update, and things might get glitchy for a couple of days. They usually fix it very quickly. Same thing if the dialer goes out or something. It is always handled in a timely manner.

Incentivized

They have a dedicated support team to assist with any questions or issues users may encounter while using the application. However, this feature makes this platform live and steady

Outreach's performance overall is very high quality. Pages load right away. Occasionally it might take a minute to generate a report, but not any slower than in other platforms I've used. Outreach is integrated into many of our other tools and seems to be a very clean integration. Everything runs very quickly.

Incentivized

Revenue.io to evaluate its performance in terms of page load times or report completion. Regarding integration with other software or systems, its integration with other tools is designed to work seamlessly with other tools and systems without slowing them down. Furthermore, integration does not affect its efficiency and leads to smooth work

There is almost zero customer support. What they do offer is a live chat feature which is active during "normal" business hours which is nice for instant inquiries if someone is available. However, you do not have a dedicated representative to address questions or concerns and their billing process is confusing and messy without any support.

It fulfills our requirements for what we were looking for among the products available in the market. They have given demos so well and address all of our issues very well. They also quoted the best price for what we had in mind. Overall, it helps us zero in on our search with all the requirements and budget in mind.

We were trained in person and it was very easy to understand. And if we missed any pointers there was more training given to us. So i always like this tool. The drafts were also prepared for us to sync outreach with our devices so it was straightforward. Highly recommend

Incentivized

Due to a comprehensive understanding of the platform to use its features and functions effectively.

Lots of attention from the Outreach training team, with a great willingness to customize to our needs. To be clear, you get out what you put in. If you don't work with them, you'll get cookie-cutter training. But we asked for a lot of customization, and they delivered what we asked for.

I expected more assistance in connecting Outreach with Salesforce. We have a basic connection, but many fields were left without a sync. We can apparently sync data without adding the app into Salesforce, but believe we could get more functionality with a better integration. The basics of setting up our sequences and using Outreac to run them was was fine.

Thoroughly assess your organization's revenue management needs and consider the time and resources required.

They're not direct competitors, but they share many of the same functionalities. Gong has a greater focus on spoken communications, such as calls and demos, rather than emails. I think Gong also has stronger AI capabilities at the moment. However, I don't believe so, Gong would be ideal for prospecting and mass outreach, as Outreach is. Outreach is more suitable for exploration and outbound communications management, whereas Gong is better suited for deal and pipeline management and analysis.

Incentivized

I honestly think that SalesLoft is a more complete solution as far as the user interface goes. However, Ring DNA has the added call intelligence feature that sales loft doesn't have, so we went with ring dna.

Incentivized

It has flexible permissions which allows to designate certain non-admins to build out sequences or add or remove people, which allows one main admin to handle the more technical end, while allowing team leads to build out sequences for other team members, allowing everyone to play to their relative strengths, while not allowing for chaos if everyone had full permissions

Incentivized

Overall, Revenue.io is a highly scalable platform that can adapt to the needs of businesses of varying sizes and industries. The program handles large volumes of data and users, making it suitable for companies with complex revenue management needs. Moreover, the cloud-based infrastructure allows the platform to scale up or down quickly based on changing business needs.

• Increase in meetings booked
• Increase in call metrics as it is easy to make more calls using Outreach features. Basically cutting down admin work time before the call.
• Prospect journey and experience has been a positive flowing through a set amount of emails and calls rather than just being blasted with random emails. Helps BDRS stay focused on more important parts of the job.

Incentivized

• RingDNA has a significant impact on our ability to manage our activities with our sales team
• Analytics gives us absolute transparency across our sales and service teams
• Essentially this enables us to truly see and act on what is happening and make overall improvements to marketing, sales and services
