User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Apollo.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.

TechTarget would notify us when prospects looked us up by name or specifically researched areas where our product would prove beneficial. It did a great job gauging legitimate interest from the prospect and gave an idea of a timeline as well so that we could understand their urgency.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • 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.).

  • Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
  • I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
  • TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

Cons
Apollo.io
  • 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.

TechTarget
  • It is not particularly intuitive
  • Too many steps to get where I need to go
  • Needs to provide more depth to help determine urgency and intent to buy
  • Response rate from contacting leads based on search behaviors was almost nil. This may be partially due to messaging on our end.

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.

I'm just a business user of TechTarget so I really haven't had the chance to gauge what the support is from a customer standpoint. Given that we recently rolled it out and everyone is utilizing it daily I would assume that their support is strong enough for us to continues to use it.

Alternatives Considered
Apollo.io
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

TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read a white paper or downloaded a brochure, which made my timing for prospecting much easier. I do believe ZoomInfo's company directories are more robust and wide-spread

Return on Investment

TechTarget
  • It is best when used in conjunction with all of our other tooling and not used alone
  • It has enabled my team to have a better feel for what is happening at a prospect's company
  • It sometimes consumes too many hours in the day waiting on data to load, and time is wasted toggling between pages
