The pricing was better with Apollo.io and the feature set checked all the boxes for us. Gong didn't do everything we needed and then Chorus by ZoomInfo was about 10x the price, so it checked all the boxes for us and was also the best value compared to what we were using before …
I found Apollo.io gave us the biggest bang for our buck. Also, I've used it before and knew it was going to work, so there wasn't really a whole lot of competition in my mind.
It is best used for cold outreach sales. While it has some research capabilities for trends in some ways, it really shines in finding and maintaining up to date information on contacts. Being able to mass update contacts that might have moved to a new company allows you to see easily when you might need to find a new contact, or if you have a contact at a new company, expanding your network and reach. It is not a CRM, I don't recommend using it as your full CRM, it is great for tracking cold outreach, but then you should move contacts to your actual CRM tool.
Chorus by ZoomInfo is great when I’m running back-to-back sales calls and don’t have time for detailed notes. It captures follow-up items, competitor mentions, and even customer questions I might have missed in the moment. It’s also helpful for coaching new reps. Where it’s less useful is on super short internal check-ins or casual conversations where full transcripts and insights aren’t really needed.
Sequencing automated email campaigns for outbound prospecting (BD Function).
Integrating with Sales Navigator to help me find emails/phone #' numbers/"add to sequence" while prospecting. It's easy and seamless to find & then load contacts into Cadences.
Integration with Salesforce is a huge plus. Allows me to not worry about logging anything, but the executive team can see my activity & what is going on (emails going out, responses I get, etc.).
The analytics on the outreach data is always helpful as well (open rates, click rates, etc.).
Sometimes there were issues with the 3-minute delay for Chorus joining a live meeting.
Occasionally, deliverables were assigned to the wrong person in the summary if their voices were similar or if they were on the same audio.
Occasionally, the Chorus had problems picking up on what someone was saying. This was likely due to user error but caused gaps in the conversation recording and transcript.
It's hard for me to give anything more than a 5 at this point. The primary reason is that we have only used it for a few months and I'm still getting a feel for the level of value it provides both to me and the team. In 4 or 5 months I'll have a better understanding of its value long term
It is easy to use. The UI has enough options to learn, with advanced documentation and support. The customer service is quick to respond and assists with information in real time. The UI has different segments for each feature which makes it easy to use.
Settings are easy to change as per preferred requirements
This was sold internally as something that would help us be more efficient. I had high hopes that the speech-to-text feature would be useful for getting call notes/next steps, etc documented. But due to the limitations of the software, these things would take longer using Chorus than if I just write things down manually - disappointing.
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.
I personally have not had too many major issues with Chorus, but the times that I have reached out to their customer support team I have always received great responses in a very timely manner. Their support team is trained in a very polite way and cares about resolving your issue. They are knowledgeable and helpful and the customer service line does not take long to connect to a real individual.
Like I noted in the other category, it has been smooth for the most part. But we really do enjoy the hard work of our CSM and everything he has been able to provide us in terms of support.
I link the interface of Apollo.io better than Zoominfo. Zoominfo only provides a company employees and rarely the specific people I was looking for in shipping and logistics. It generally recommended higher level executives like Presidents or COO's instead of the decision makers I need to work with. I also found much of the info Zoominfo provided to be outdated. In some cases the people were no longer employed with the company
Chorus by ZoomInfo offers a balanced approach compared to these platforms. Against Salesloft, Chorus provides better conversation intelligence and AI-driven insights while Salesloft excels in cadence management. Versus Gong, Chorus delivers similar analytics with a more intuitive user interface and faster implementation. Compared to Microsoft Teams, Chorus transforms basic call recording into actionable sales intelligence with advanced coaching features Teams lacks. What sets Chorus apart is its functionality and usability - robust enough for enterprise needs without complexity, yet more sophisticated than other software with basic features. The ZoomInfo integration also provides unique prospecting context that enhances conversation preparation
