Apollo.io vs. Prospect.io

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.

Prospect.io is ideal for key aspects of our sales process such as repetitive workflow automation , which has enabled us to increase our sales numbers with less work. Other key sales areas where Prospect.io does a great job includes report analytics , contact management , feedback collection, and key productivity controls like task management , emails , note-taking etc Its major flaw is its poor integration capability for me.

• 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.).

• Scraping emails - great Google Chrome plugin that doesn't get the email address all the time, but it's worked great for me.
• Drip campaigns - super easy to set them up and forget about them, with follow-ups.
• Integration with CRM - I haven't used this yet but it integrates well with all current CRMs.

• Some of time it happens that right stakeholders' mobile seems not available in which improvement can help more accurate data.
• Notifications when someone opens the marketing email and showing the interest.
• Mobile application that will help us during the travelling. It will get very easy to log calls and find the contacts on the way.

• When it comes to third-party business intelligence and sales solutions that we use in the workplace , Prospect.io greatly struggles with integration provisions.

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

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 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

It is rather similar to Aeroleads as a Chrome plugin
