Apollo.io vs. Slack

When I need to find people in my specific niche to reach out to, Apollo helps me find these leads that I would not have been able to see before. I have not been able to dive deeper into the other features of Apollo yet, but I am sure they would be invaluable for most.

Its fantastic and has revolutionized remote work for our company. Everything we do happens on Slack. Most conversations, meeting planning, teamwork, and collaboration. It's very customizable. I think it would be just as useful for a non-remote company. I can't think of a team that wouldn't benefit from using Slack over email.

• Their reliability has been an issue for our team. The product has been down multiple times since I've been a user.
• Some times prospects titles/roles are out of date, so keeping up with those a bit more would be helpful during sourcing
• I've received a lot of spam calls that are completely irrelevant to me, but it comes down to an issue on their side with using so many numbers from different area codes. This was a major pain in the beginning, but has subsided a bit.

• Wish I could organize my "save for later" items into folders. It would be nice to store all of the golden nuggets of information I learn. Even better if we could export it out into a word doc to turn into a real article or resource!
• Use AI to help us find themes around topics and prepare a summary every week/end of day/month so that the entire team can absorb all conversations into one clean space

Generally quite a reliable tool with decent data quality/availability. Pricing works well for our team and our use case

To be more transparent, I give 10 because Slack serves our collaboration needs. It provide us a good platform for team communication relaying important update within the company, it has even mobile app where you can install in your phone to monitor any updates within that team that needs your immediate attention and intervention.

Because in general the platform has a very complete use, for a fair and accessible price, to perform daily prospecting helps a lot to find potential prospects and take the company to a higher level and exceed the borders and barriers of not being able to find national, international and transnational companies. It also helps to grow the agenda of contacts, the contacts in the network, keep a good administration of time and activities to be performed to have adequate follow-up, increasing the chances of closing deals with new customers.

I have given this rating as I have extensively used Slack for more than a year and I have found most of the features useful along with Slack apps, which helps to integrate with many apps which I use in day-to-day life and also It automatically opens a small popup in the chat whenever the links related to that apps are used

Yes, the app works 24/7. I don't even recall having any period that we could not use since the implementation. Even the maintenance periods are barely noticeable and our work is not impacted by it when it happens.

Slack is a soft app, we don't have many issues with it. I recall one or two people complaining about something during our usage period, but I didn't have a bad experience. When the app is slow, usually the problem is with my computer or my internet. The app works just fine.

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've never had to contact support for Slack which is a great testament to its ease and use. Adding people outside of the organization takes a little getting used to, but ultimately allows for greater collaboration between FTE and contractors. There is no clear alternative to this software, so it's the best we can do for now.

I was not part of the implementation team, but I recall being 100% happy and excited to learn and use a new tool. I'm still am to be honest.

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 recommendation to the others.

Slack: It's easy to strike up a chat right away with one-click calls or huddles. By simply pressing the call button, both users are involved without the need to arrange a meeting. Microsoft Teams: With calendar invites, time slot choices, and numerous confirmation processes, scheduling even a basic one-on-one meeting can feel laborious.

• Having customisable sequences makes it easier to follow-up when you are busy. I would have forgotten/not done certain tasks had it not been automated
• Make yourself accountable with the "Manual" tasks. Apollo.io give you all the data to make calls, and you can set yourself reminders to do it.
• Clean accurate data. I think 85% of numbers are correct and most contacts have emails. Vital for getting through.

• Slack has significantly improved communication within the organization by providing a platform for quick and instant messaging.
• Teams can easily collaborate on different projects with Slack’s channels.
• We have to use Google Drive to send large videos. Would have been good if it could be spent through Slack.
