Apollo.io
Best suited for contact discovery on LinkedIn or for that matter any website, but it works best on LinkedIn. It saves tons of work, you can simply select the complete list of people you want to contact and put them directly into an email sequence. It is a little difficult to find contact info on other websites.

waalaxy is a good tool for automating activity on linkedin, creating contacts that will then have to be developed directly by you, but it speeds up the initial steps and skims contacts very quickly (if the bot sends 20 requests a day and 15 percent of people accept the link, you already know who to continue conversations with and who to leave alone).The only note is the scattered interface compared to others with a simpler and more direct ux.Maybe it's personal taste, because it continues to get a lot of positive feedback from many users.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Allows users to easily add new prospects to database without much manual effort at all
  • Allows you to make cold calls from different area codes that are relevant to where your prospect is located
  • Allows A/B testing for emails so you can figure out which ones are gaining the most traction
  • You can also find prospects based off of title, company, technologies, etc

  • Automation: request for connection at random times to simulate human intervention
  • automation: email link request to increase the maximum limit of link requests (before August 2022, linkedin policy changed message policies)
  • automation: email search on linkedin

Cons
Apollo.io
  • Their customer service is just terrible. You get an assigned account manager but 9/10 times they wouldn't know what you wanted and/or how the product works or how to fix it. Vast majority of the time it was a canned response that made you question if they read the message, or if they read it and did not understand a word.
  • The software was relatively buggy and lacked features that were promised upon signup. They seem to have some large corporate clients and if you aren't one none of your bug submissions, feature requests, or concerns will be addressed.
  • Their growing quickly so they seem to be very understaffed which I believe caused many of the issues above.
  • The data, while good, can quickly run out if you're looking for specific types of leads. If you're looking for something generic like Managers at companies between 10-5000 people, you can pull leads all day every day. However if you're looking for a specific industry, specific title, and specific location - don't count on having an endless supply of leads (or even really enough to use month after month).

  • needs to improve the interface to make it faster to use the platform, especially for those who do not always use all the functions and do not remember them. Navigating through the menus becomes time-consuming
  • choice of profile "warming" type to avoid linkedin ban. Waalaxy seems less careful than other platforms to use automations with caution, at least in the beginning (you can't go from zero to 20 link requests a day because you risk banning. It's not certain but you risk it)

è una piattaforma solida e aggiornata, ma ha un difetto che non mi piace ed è che personalmente non mi piace l'interfaccia per usarla. Questo è l'unico difetto e penso che sia soggettivo.

it has a lot of functions, I haven't tried them all, but when I looked for something I found the interface scattered in menus and I didn't immediately find what I was looking for, this can also be frustrating because there are some functions that you rarely use so you forget where the buttons and menu are and so a more straightforward visual approach would be preferable even for those who are not new to the tool

Support Rating

I received excellent support at any time I opened up a ticket. But I would add to it that the tool was very self-explanatory, so there wasn't much need for support. With Outreach, we have a closer relationship with our CSM because of the intricacy in things like SFDC task mapping.

I have also looked into and tried Hunter.io and Lusha, and to be honest, I shouldn't compare them with Apollo. I have found Apollo to be so easy to integrate and use with all of my prospecting that I haven't really even tried out the other two. I bet I could find some useful things by using Hunter.io or Lusha as well, but there is honestly no need since I can do everything I want and more with Apollo. I would just be wasting time trying to figure out another platform when I can be focused on growing my own business with Apollo.

Waalaxy works well and has been on the market for quite some time; it is a solid product. For my very personal use judgment, I don't like to waste time looking for functions in menus-I use too many saas to waste time and remember where I find functions.Learning curve and immediate usability are key for me, so I was better off with Closely which has a much better UX.Maybe it's my problem and you will be just as well off as many others, you just have to try both because they have the free version

Return on Investment
Apollo.io
  • Generated a lot of expectations that were not real when we needed them
  • The ROI was positive but we decided to stop using the tool
  • We loved how easy to use it was and how easy it was to interact with the Support team
  • There is room for improvement in the video tutorials - they were from old versions of the software that would not be useful for the version at hand

  • 20 requests per day15% links accepted (depends on your message/strategy and industry, not the tool)
  • return on investment is certain if you don't think automation can do it all: you have to work the contacts generated by waalaxy
