Likelihood to Recommend If you want to create a more targeted ad approach to your marketing strategy, you need 6sense to do it well. If your team is not willing to look at things from an account based approach and are stuck in the old school way of thinking about MQLs, then this may be a tough sell to sales.
Read full review Outreach is well suited for teams that need to do cold outbound to prospects. It's easy enough to create sequences that will use a variety of touchpoints (email, inMail, call, etc...). It's also easy to share sequences with team members to collaborate and the very best messaging. Outreach's integration over Salesforce and Gmail is also invaluable, without it each team member would probably spend hours per week clicking between tabs just to get to prospect information On the other hand, Outreach is not the best to help you create content, as of this writing there is no AI support. It is also worth noting that Outreach's permission structure can create a lot of confusion for team members and that untangling errors at times can become complex
Read full review Pros Product support: They are constantly adding new features and innovating. Customer success: Everyone who uses the platform internally is in a customer-facing role and there is a massive amount of self-service and regularly-scheduled live training available. Orchestration: We are able to orchestrate account and content acquisition with ease to add qualified accounts to our CRM and kick-start contact acquisition for sales. Advertising: The advertising capabilities continue to grow. You can retarget individuals as well as run several different types of banner ad campaigns. They also recently added in-platform support to create LinkedIn campaigns. Read full review Organization - I know when to make calls/emails/LinkedIn connections without having to overthink anything. Alignment - the colleagues I work with on my accounts can keep tabs on my activity so there is no redundancy or overcommunication. Ease of use - all my contacts are in one place, and sending automated emails I have built in my sequences give me so much time back in my day. Read full review Cons Sales Alerts - could provide more information, allow for more orgs to be identified, creating them based on keywords is beyond challenging as I cannot use keyword groups and instead must add each keyword manually. Geographic areas - would love to be able to provide one zip code for a segment and ask for a radius of 20,50, etc miles around it, or even just ask for the geographic area relative to a specific city (DC Metro area, as an example) RevCity/User Community - it's good and a nice start but the system doesn't provide reminders regularly to go check it out. Most of the posters tend to be 6sensers, and several questions can go unanswered. Read full review Customer Service - zero support for small - medium businesses. Billing - billing is messy, and customer service for billing questions is pretty awful (if anyone is ever available). Bounce Rates - our bounce rates are through the roof when using Outreach which isn't a problem we have with HubSpot or Pardot. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We have several resources and, although 6sense is valuable, I do not believe it's being used widely enough by the sales team due to lack of training and its complexity. I wish there was a simplified guide for use and more 1-on-1 training.
Read full review I like Outreach, but I do wonder about new competitors that are 25-50% less expensive.
Read full review Usability The platform is pretty straightforward as far as creating new segments and what's available to do so. The launch of digital advertising has greatly improved in recent months which has been great for our digital team. Adding or removing users and updating integration points is pretty easy as well. Reporting has also been recently updated which makes reporting on usage and ROI much easier too.
Read full review The ease of use for outreach is next to none. Everything is clearly explained, you can hop on a call with their support team whenever, and it effortlessly integrates into your computer. You can do everything you need sales related on it, and the learning curve is small. I'd recommend it as a first and last CRM.
Read full review Reliability and Availability So far the one time we ran into issues they were right there to help
Read full review Performance Most of the time pages load quickly and the UX is great there are moments like every platform where it is laggy though
Read full review Support Rating Their Customer Success model is delivered as advertised. We're very satisfied with the availability of support. They care as much about our success as we do. We also had an issue where we believed there was an issue in a piece of functionality. They continued to dig until they found the problem and immediately put the fix into a patch.
Read full review The overall support of Outreach has been great. Whenever I have a problem, they were quick to fix it and typically respond within one business day. I don't typically have many requests for support because a lot of my questions can be answered through their knowledge panel. They have been fantastic to work with overall.
Read full review Online Training It was too fast, too complex, no one could follow along. If you miss a step, you're lost for the rest of the time and there is SO MUCH to learn and keep up with.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating dont implement it
Read full review Although we required a special setup, the process was quick. But we paid a lot for the implementation and didn't use 33% of the hours we purchased.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Bombora gives you the data raw, you then determine where you want to integrate it and pull it in. More control, but more work. Also, you need a strong understanding of what you want to do.
Demandbase seemed pretty much an Ads platform that uses intent. I love the website personalization that
Triblio ABM/ABX Platform offers, but it is a marketing tool. It doesn't offer the same prospecting benefits.
Read full review We found that Outreach was superior to
Salesloft and
Gong , and a better fit for our organization for the following reasons:
User interface and overall experience: it's just a cleaner platform and easier to work in than the other two. Feature set: the other two tools had more bells and whistles, but sometimes less is more, and the core functionality of Outreach is preferable. Integration with Salesforce Price Customer support and training options are superior on Outreach Read full review Scalability Has been used by a few teams cross functionally and the scalability of this product is great as we continue to grow
Read full review Return on Investment 6sense has provided me with a more targeted list of clients to go after, thus allowing me to increase my pipeline. 6sense has made cold calling a much warmer experience by identifying keywords our potential clients are searching for. 6sense has enabled me to have a more targeted approach when it comes to going after potential clients resulting in a higher win rate for me and my team. Read full review The huge positive impact it had was the team not needing to spend as much time as disengaged opps as they were engaged ones. We were able to set sequences to work with them while the team could focus on generating new leads or converting Opps. For an AE - post demo communication is important. With templates and snippets we could just click a few buttons and have a really nice email sent out with the relevant information and then the next several steps already planned out. This freed up time for us and even allowed us to take calls a lot sooner after demo's then before. For busy days this was very helpful. Read full review ScreenShots
