Chose Apollo.io
I have mainly utilised ZoomInfo for data sourcing in the past, and I found that Apollo.io was much easier to pick up and use, whilst ZoomInfo took a bit of a learning curve to understand how to set filters and best data within your ICP, I was able to pick up Apollo.io within 5 …
Chose Apollo.io
I used Growbots for year many years ago, it landed me exactly one client. Apollo.io is much easier to use and has gotten me way more results.
Chose Apollo.io
As there are more credits in Apollo and it is user-friendly than the others. And mostly, I liked the accuracy of the data it provided, which is generally accurate and directed to the right person, primarily used in B2B sales from the user's perspective. I prefer this …

I think all of competitor services use the same database, but Apollo.io is the cheapest and easiest to use with LinkedIn

I am still using those, some platform have better features than others, but overall if I had to use only one product for the business - it would be Apollo, because it seems to have the golden middle and the best quality of the information. Maybe for the investor research PitchBo…
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io tends to be my first port of call, as it's pretty straightforward to use with good quality and reliable extracts. The browser extension is another plus and makes the lead sourcing process a bit more streamlined for our use case. Other products we've used work well for …
Chose Apollo.io
After reviewing it the data Apollo.io provides is more accurate than almost all other tools, versus zoominfo who is the main competitor the data might be a little bit better on zoominfo however the automation tools makes it the best choice for a startup like us, we needed a …
Chose Apollo.io
We ended up going with Outreach recently, although Apollo was excellent for us in the beginning. I honestly miss using Apollo's sidebar functionality that worked seamlessly with LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The new workflow we have with DiscoverOrg to Outreach is not …
Outreach
Chose Outreach
I would say it's pretty comparable. I think Outreach is probably more robust and customizable.
Chose Outreach
In order of what my choices would be with the options above:
Apollo, Salesloft, Outreach, Unify, Amplemarket
In my opinion, Apollo is terrible and the only reason it is still solvent is that startups with no money need a solution to have some sort of data enrichment and have a …
Chose Outreach
Outreach is a great tool, but it may not be the most effective one. It is very cost-effective, but teams can easily outgrow outreach. Outreach is more sophisticated than Salesloft. However, Apollo is far more refined and more in-depth from a functionality standpoint. I would …
Chose Outreach
Outreach has better email deliverability and brand reputation compared to its competitors. The pricing and licensing model also fits in with our requirements. Importantly, our leadership and sales teams recommend using Outreach, as they are comfortable with the platform due to …
Chose Outreach
Salesforce, Apollo, and HubSpot offer similar capabilities, but they simply don't meet the needs. They're more useful for other processes. But for specifically doing outreach as an AE or BDR, Outreach has everything you need. The integrations are great, the software is easy to …
Chose Outreach
Outreach is vastly superior to other sales engagement platforms, because it's easy to use and effective to track engagement
Chose Outreach
Outreach is more detailed and in depth than Apollo. The only reasons why I really liked Apollo was the UI and being able to research companies within the app- however, we use Zoominfo for reaching out now and it is better with more information. Outreach connects to ZI and …
Chose Outreach
I chose Outreach simply because it just works. ZenProspect was a hassle and didn't have throttling (and was full of bugs), and Beamery was just a bit too basic for what we were looking for. Outreach has all the automated features we were looking for to make outbound sales as …
RocketReach
Chose RocketReach
RocketReach works well on its own, but also as part of a suite of tools that we use for lead validation, qualification, and research efforts. We've selected RocketReach due to it's ability to provide key information in our data enrichment process that some other platforms are …

If a company is looking to do higher volume email and phone outreach, Apollo.io is a good tool. I would recommend first verifying if this type of outreach works with your offering. If it does, this tool will be very helpful for you.

Outreach
Outreach has made a huge impact to our business. As with any software, the key is in the implementation and making sure that all reps are onboarded and trained effectively to maximise the platforms capability. We have a sales team of 35, which includes customer success, whilst the platform may be suited for a larger business, for a company of this size this has been ideal

RocketReach is very helpfull in cases where I only have the website or LinkedIn Page of the company I want to reach out to, but no contact information. RocketReach helps do some digging and get in touch with the target business. It does not provide any financial insight on the entity, a lot of companies do not have info of important C-Suit, but just general employees.

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

Outreach
  • Sequencing -- setting up automated to-do lists so sellers can simply log in and run through their call and email tasks efficiently.
  • Templates/snippets -- we have dozens and dozens, really useful to systematize our communications around feature sets, pricing, etc.
  • Reporting -- super simple to get reporting on how sequences are performing, overall rep activity week over week, etc.

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.

Outreach
  • It is not very clear how to use the automated info-filler logic provided to customize emails and outreach to each prospect and account. More in-app guidance on that would be invaluable.
  • I wish my Outreach program didn't sign me out so frequently; I have to sign in multiple times a day.

It's a strong tool that helps our sales development team manage a large number of qualified leads. The sequence framework ensures that every lead receives enough contact attempts that we have confidence that we're not abandoning our prospecting too early without the overhead of managing those activities manually.

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.

Outreach
Overall, Outreach is usable and scalable across team sizes. The only reason I give a nine and not a 10 is that there are improvements that can be made within the reporting feature. It is usable, but not everyone can easily self-learn the best practices. At times, it may require building 2-3 reports and then using a VLOOKUP in Excel to achieve the desired outcome.

The extension is perfect for finding the info about the company whose website I have open in my laptop, but in some cases it is hard to get rid of the icon. It is located specifically in a place where the majority of websites put action button. So, I can't press this button sometimes because of the RR icon on top.

In our years as Outreach customers, I can count the number of outages we've experienced on one hand. Generally, outages have been very brief and have not completely frozen our access to the platform. Scheduled maintenance is always proactive communicated and the hours never interfere with standard business hours or scheduled sequences.

Outreach's performance overall is very high quality. Pages load right away. Occasionally it might take a minute to generate a report, but not any slower than in other platforms I've used. Outreach is integrated into many of our other tools and seems to be a very clean integration. Everything runs very quickly.

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.

Outreach
There is almost zero customer support. What they do offer is a live chat feature which is active during "normal" business hours which is nice for instant inquiries if someone is available. However, you do not have a dedicated representative to address questions or concerns and their billing process is confusing and messy without any support.

Lots of attention from the Outreach training team, with a great willingness to customize to our needs. To be clear, you get out what you put in. If you don't work with them, you'll get cookie-cutter training. But we asked for a lot of customization, and they delivered what we asked for.

I expected more assistance in connecting Outreach with Salesforce. We have a basic connection, but many fields were left without a sync. We can apparently sync data without adding the app into Salesforce, but believe we could get more functionality with a better integration. The basics of setting up our sequences and using Outreac to run them was was fine.

Alternatives Considered
Apollo.io
In terms of Apollo.io, the easiest part is its integration and versatility in handling data. LinkedIn NAVIGATOR, on the other hand, is also a decent tool, but it’s significantly more expensive than Apollo.io and Lusha, especially when considering a decent set of data. However, it’s somewhat incomplete when compared to Apollo.io.

When I first joined the company we were a sales team of 10. Over the last 4 years we have grown to 30 and have used Outreach the entire time. Everyone uses Outreach and it works for virtually any size business. The seat model works perfectly for any size company plus Outreach can handle hundreds of thousands of emails being sent out. We never have to worry about throttling or any type of lag time based on usage. This is key when scaling.
