    Apollo.io
    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.

    More Appropriate Scenarios: 1. It helps in visualizing opportunities with our customers that help us strategize and execute good sales activities to drive our business. 2. It helps in improving the flow of communication between the different departments. 3. It is extremely easy to log call notes and schedule future calls so we never miss an opportunity to reach out to our customers and get the sale. 4. We can create reports that show where my sales are up, and down. It allows me to focus on customers that are down in specific categories and pinpoints the exact products. Less Appropriate Scenarios: 1. The pipeline is very basic which is a bit of a let-down as this is a function we require so have to use a stand-alone product for this. 2. Difficult to pull specific information about a group of customers.

    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.

    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.

    Apollo.io
    • Apollo.io has helped me find a good set of new target audience for the business that I am in, essentially helping me build a prospective line and grow my lead database by 25 to 30% where I lack a certain skill
    • The Apollo.io quality of the data that it has is significantly better through other competitors like Lusha and others
    • In terms of the revenue increase, there have been certain instances where I have found a new acquirer that essentially I would not have found in a general scenario and that has help me generate from the new identified lead
