If you are looking to enrich your existing database, Data Axel Genie isn't the easiest tool to use. I do like how the contacts are verified, however, you have to pay PER contact if you are enriching, and if you merged existing infrastructures, it's not as easy to clean out your database. And it is very costly for this company.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Allows users to easily add new prospects to database without much manual effort at all
  • Allows you to make cold calls from different area codes that are relevant to where your prospect is located
  • Allows A/B testing for emails so you can figure out which ones are gaining the most traction
  • You can also find prospects based off of title, company, technologies, etc

  • I liked the organization of the database it was easy to maneuver.
  • Search was fairly easy to maintain.
  • If you want to create a list of leads this will work. However, it is primarily for consumer leads not B2B.

Cons
Apollo.io
  • Their customer service is just terrible. You get an assigned account manager but 9/10 times they wouldn't know what you wanted and/or how the product works or how to fix it. Vast majority of the time it was a canned response that made you question if they read the message, or if they read it and did not understand a word.
  • The software was relatively buggy and lacked features that were promised upon signup. They seem to have some large corporate clients and if you aren't one none of your bug submissions, feature requests, or concerns will be addressed.
  • Their growing quickly so they seem to be very understaffed which I believe caused many of the issues above.
  • The data, while good, can quickly run out if you're looking for specific types of leads. If you're looking for something generic like Managers at companies between 10-5000 people, you can pull leads all day every day. However if you're looking for a specific industry, specific title, and specific location - don't count on having an endless supply of leads (or even really enough to use month after month).

  • We have a very specific industry and sometimes drilling down to these leads can be challenging. But with customer service, they have solved this for us.

Usability
Apollo.io
Apollo.io is very helpful for any sales team. It is a great way to create a large database of mostly accurate contacts. This has been very helpful for my sales team as we are constantly reaching out to prospects via phone and email and looking to be as strategic as possible which Apollo.io helps us with.

Support Rating
Apollo.io
I received excellent support at any time I opened up a ticket. But I would add to it that the tool was very self-explanatory, so there wasn't much need for support. With Outreach, we have a closer relationship with our CSM because of the intricacy in things like SFDC task mapping.

Alternatives Considered
Apollo.io
Apollo is inexpensive of all the above tools. Data accuracy of other tools like lintel and infotelligent is much much better but they are expensive also. One needs to be careful while using data from Apollo because email bounces can damage your domain reputation. I suggest you use a different SMTP server while sending mail.

Return on Investment
Apollo.io
  • Generated a lot of expectations that were not real when we needed them
  • The ROI was positive but we decided to stop using the tool
  • We loved how easy to use it was and how easy it was to interact with the Support team
  • There is room for improvement in the video tutorials - they were from old versions of the software that would not be useful for the version at hand
