CallRail
Chose CallRail
CallRail seemed to have an easier setup and ease of use for onboarding new staff as well. The overall tracking structure and analytics seemed better with CallRail. CallRail also allows you to understand the call history and understand if this was a first touch or multiple …
Chose CallRail
CallRail has offered us the best solutions so far in terms of multiple aspects. #1 is scalability, we are a growing agency, we see clients come and go, CallRail has made it easy and efficient with new accounts being onboarded, UI backs up this process. Also, the multiple …
Chose CallRail
We've found CallRail to be easier to use than other systems that we've used or reviewed for potential purchase. Product support is good and there is a fair amount of users so finding solutions to problems online is relatively easy. Our team has found it easy to setup as well.
CTM
Chose CTM
They are very similar from functionality from what I have seen. CallRail is a prettier and possibly more user friendly platform, but also has a lot of fluff that CTM seems to cut through.
Chose CTM
I feel like CallTrackingMetrics is far more user friendly and accessible than CallRail. I said this earlier, but because CallTrackingMetrics has always been so easy to use and work with, I've never felt the need to pursue another function. When I've had to work with CallRail
Chose CTM
I have only used one call tracking platform at the level I am now which is CallTrackingMetrics. I have however, evaluated other call tracking platforms such as Invoca and CallRail. Invoca we quickly stopped demoing as we got into cost as the platform was more expensive that …
Chose CTM
By far CTM is my favorite. Price is good, it's easy to use and integrates well with our external reporting software. But most importantly it is accurate and the customer service/chat support is fantastic and very quick to respond.

Apollo.io
Apollo.io played big role for us in saving $$$ by bringing data mining, AI Email Writing and acting as CRM altogether...for small to medium organization they can surely rely on Apollo.io...and it is doing things mostly right with some room for improvement for sure. Sales and Marketing team saves time in getting their emails drafted based on prompts, list of contacts they can fetch in minutes of time, earlier we used to have seperate tool just to mine data, then we used to upload the CSV file to email marketing tool, then we used to draft email...for all these process we were using three different tools - Apollo.io brought everything under one umbrella.

This is great software for differentiating where phone traffic is coming from. Whether it's paid/organic search, you can see exactly where the calls are coming in from. I'd love to see them add text/SMS features in the future, but it does what it claims. I'd also like to see more CRM integrations, but not sure that other users share the same sentiment

[CallTrackingMetrics] is well suited for HIPAA Compliant Call Tracking when working with medical clients and is great for all clients who do online sales or patient intake. Clients with low volume of calls may not get enough value for the cost of this platform.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Firstly, finding the details of the potential customers that is there name, designation email and phone number since these are the most important cases most of the times I can get this data in Apollo.io
  • I can pull the bulk data of the targeted organization, or I can pull the emails based on the location and job titles
  • Apart from the email capture, the thing which helpful is that the email sequence can find emails and send emails in Apollo.io itself and also the report and the dashboard are so clean
  • Friendly UI and UX Apollo.io was the first tool which I used. Since then I'm still using Apollo.io for easy understanding

  • Tracking phone calls first & foremost! Being able to have a running tally of the phone calls made and listening to the recorded calls throughout the month and providing that information back to our clients is vital!
  • Their UI is exceptionally easy to use & navigate. This is important when we have many clients running at the same time and we are able to always determine what report is for which client.
  • The ease of setting up a brand new client & their tracking phone number is fantastic! Saves a lot of time when it walks you through everything you need to know & do step by step.

  • Very easy to set up and use. You can create as many tracking numbers and sources as you need. Easily organize and filter them for results and placing the code is so simple. Anyone can use this software.
  • Listening to the calls makes life simple. We can hear what the potential lead said and record feedback to better our marketing efforts. You can even flag or email the call recordings if you need to share inside or outside your organization.
  • Call reporting is a breeze! You can easily filter your sources, call duration, time and more and reports are extremely accurate.
  • Cost is well worth what you get from the software.

Cons
Apollo.io
  • There are certain features about prospecting that require updates. For example, if people switch organisations, it should be automatically requesting the new email or new contact data for a particular contact in order to be updated in the system
  • The lead databases that are created if their new addition should automatically be updated in the list that I created with Apollo.io

  • The integration with Hubspot is not as seemless as I would have liked. We had an issue where a person who was already in Hubspot called in, and their contact information was not matched to the caller ID correctly which created some duplicate entries. A little bit of a bummer, but from what I understand they may have fixed this. We had to stop using them for a little while because our outsourced sales team was more confused by adding CallRail, so we'll be re-implementing this once our new sales team is fully trained. Hopefully the record miss-match issue gets fixed.

The platform is easy to use and we really don't have any complaints with using it so far. The information is invaluable for clients that rely on phone calls to drive more business. Not much negative to say about it at this point. We're actually really happy with it so far and the cost is manageable.

Support Rating
Apollo.io
The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

CallRail support normally gets back to us pretty quickly when we submit a ticket and they have a good knowledge base for common questions. I've heard mixed reviews from other local marketing agencies that use this tool, but overall in my experience, support has been knowledgeable and quick working through our problems.

All of these platforms are good and offer valuable tools, but where Apollo.io is different is how this one platform does the job of several different ones. It is nice not having to use multiple platforms to get things done and makes integration and analytics issues occur less often. It is user friendly and constantly working to improve.

Callrail has a very seamless and easy to use Dynamic Number Swap function. In other call tracking that we looked into the integration was either not as easy to use or required much more work to implement. Setting up CallRail has been so easy even our entry-level employees need very little training to master the platform.

CallTrackingMetrics has stood up well compared to Salesforce. Being that we are a high volume call center for schools, it has been very good for the company. I feel that CallTrackingMetrics is really good for our company compared to Salesforece CMS.
