Apollo.io has a mid tier dialer that I was looking to replace. Ultimately, I never replaced Apollo.io's dialer because it was really nice to just have one single tool that everything worked through, and never had to transfer data or call logs between platforms.
Apollo.io is good but I would rank Salesloft above it. Salesloft was very easy to use and honestly much simpler as it relates from storing messaging, sequences, etc. Apollo.io is better as it relates to being able to pull contact information. outreach was probably neck and neck …
I think it is convenient that Apollo.io offers many different features from prospecting, sequencing, analyzing and organizing all in one platform. It does a great job at making our workflow more efficient and keeping everything organized under one platform. My SDRs think it is a user-friendly tool in terms of finding new prospects and putting them into sequences. Being able to analyze our open rates, click rates, response rates, sentiment, deliverability scores, etc. have been very helpful in improving our messaging, times for outreach and connects.
Orum is really well suited for my role as a business development representative, and allows me to reach hundreds of prospects a week where as doing so before was extremely difficult if not impossible. However, in my role and tasks as an account manager, Orum is not as effective as it does not allow me to utilize my own number to call them through Orum, and this often leads to confusion when calling my customers.
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.).
Credit usage is not always clear, we've done actions and then been surprised by the credit usage, so having more clarity on this BEFORE the credits are used up would be great.
LinkedIn steps are not ideal, there's no automation and does nothing to speed up or help with that step, this really is an email platform, not for social media.
Calls get cut off more regularly than I would expect. I am not sure if that is an issue on Orum's end, but I don't think it is a network issue either so I am not sure why.
In the search lists, it would be nice if we could add favorite cadences or separate by our own.
It has many features and you can tailor messaging and list building to be as simple or as detailed as you want it. Also it stretches from every industry so it's highly versatile. Whether you want to do just cold call sequences or a mix between every channel. The interface is also very user friendly.
Orum has truly leveled up my calling abilities like no tool has. Its intuitive UI, rapid auto-dialer, and customizability have made it my go-to call tool. There may be slight improvements to be made from a CRM integration standpoint (much of which isn't Orum's fault because outreach doesn't give data), but beyond that I would give a strong recommendation for users looking to implement personalization at scale.
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.
Major differentiator is the cost and accuracy of data. While other tools solves the purpose too, Apollo.io in specific gives better data which is more accurate and cheaper. They also have a startup program which gives 50% discount to startup’s with less employees which supports them. Haven’t seen such offer on other tech stacks
Because Orum is much more efficient, easier to use, create a solid workflow and overall is a much better experience, which helps getting revenue and better results. Other tools would use a lot of my time with no results, while Orum has been much more efficient saves me time and makes me feel more productive and efficient.
My personal ROI has been approximately a 100% increase in the number of calls I can make in a given amount of time, vs. calling directly from Outreach before (roughly 50 calls per hour to 100+). The increased potential for business is worth the cost of admission for me.
