Based on my experience using Apollo.io, it is well-suited for organizations like startups that are actively looking to generate new leads to market their products, and for direct marketing using the Apollo.io mail system and filtering leads by locality, sector, or designation.

Reliable support, easy onboarding for new sales reps and SDRs within my team. Email delivery is very important for us, and it does a very good job. Sequencing setup is very easy and their team does provide us good examples to keep our sequences smart. It would be awesome if they introduce linkedin automation as well, currently you can add a linkedin task but not automate it.Overall we've used it for the last 2 years and its worked great for us.

Cons
Apollo.io
  • Apollo.io's sync to Salesforce is incredibly finnicky and created a large number of duplicates.
  • Apollo.io's workflow functionality is rigid and doesn't play nicely with middleware like Zapier.
  • Apollo.io is focused on helping you spin up many different emails and phone numbers in a spammy manner instead of focusing on domain reputation.

Usability
Apollo.io
I gave it a 7 because it doesn't help you out if you're an organization that's call-heavy, because a lot of times the numbers aren't the best. It's not accurate. If you're somebody who's email and outbound and your goal is to find that, then that's cool. It works well for it. Some of the features, the AI tools, and some additional features they have are just too complex. Sometimes it's easy to use, but at the same time, there are tools that are not efficient, and it's like, "Where is this coming from?"Especially if you're looking for your niche, whatever industry you're in, and the target word, sometimes it can't find it. You can see what people are searching for, and it just doesn't add up. If you're trying to get very, very detailed, it's not the best. Sometimes it's going to depend on your industry, of course.

Outplay is really simple with respect to the usage. Once we integrate the tool, it is really reliable and highly productive. Setting up multiple campaigns, and tracking the metrics is straight forward and simple. Also setting up the email templates and campaign sequence is simple and easy to use and operate

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.

We found the contact data from Apollo.io was more reliable than Instantly.ai. We used Instantly.ai for about 6 months before stopping our use of it. Growbots doesn't give you as much volume for the same price at Apollo.io. However, we did close sales with Growbots, and we did not with Apollo.io. It could have just been our unique experience, but that's what happened.
