Allego Sales Enablement Platform vs. Outreach

As we roll out new products or services, the learning and coaching platforms are key. They allow us to teach the team the content and then coach them as they video record their delivery of the content to a "client." This allows us to see how much they've absorbed and helps us to redirect them when needed.

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

• Allows us to quickly and easily capture and share information with sales teams who are on the go
• Provides an archive of content where users can go back and review and can be used for ongoing training
• The customer success team is very helpful in supporting our initiatives and giving us best practices

• 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.

• We have yet to discover something about the system we don't like.
• If hard-pressed to find a flaw, it would be that whomever authors content, the content is tied to that individual; however, Allego has the capability to "reassign" content to a different author when needed.

• 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.

We love Allego and the various wasy we can use it. It has been a game changer for our team in helping them stand out from the competition.

I like Outreach, but I do wonder about new competitors that are 25-50% less expensive.

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.

Whenever we run into questions or issues, no matter how small or large, the team is quick to respond and assist us through any challenges we have

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.

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.

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.

I was not personally involved in the purchase of Allego, but came to the organization shortly after. I would say that Allego stacks up to both Gong and Litmos pretty well with a few differences. Gong is a little more robust when it comes to the functionality of call intelligence and coaching and has a little more to offer when it comes to syncing up to Salesforce. But doesn't have the content storage or LMS capability. Litmos has the badging capability that Allego does not, but it didn't have the CI and content storage like Allego does

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

Incentivized

• We use it as a CRM for our customer interactions. This tool allows us to manage our customers efficiently.
• We call through the software, and calls are automatically captured along with the call records and captured as tasks completed.
• We use call coaching from the recorded calls to enable our team to improve further.
• Data upload of the past customer records are very cumbersome.
• UI is not in the same level as the market leaders like Salesforce etc,

Incentivized

• 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.
