Apollo.io played big role for us in saving $$$ by bringing data mining, AI Email Writing and acting as CRM altogether...for small to medium organization they can surely rely on Apollo.io...and it is doing things mostly right with some room for improvement for sure. Sales and Marketing team saves time in getting their emails drafted based on prompts, list of contacts they can fetch in minutes of time, earlier we used to have seperate tool just to mine data, then we used to upload the CSV file to email marketing tool, then we used to draft email...for all these process we were using three different tools - Apollo.io brought everything under one umbrella.

It depends on your needs. If you only need simple call flows, consider using Cisco Webex Calling Auto-Attendant. If you require more complex call flows and time-of-day routing, you can utilize Cisco Webex Contact Center. You only have to purchase 1 Agent to use the Call Flow Designer.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Firstly, finding the details of the potential customers that is there name, designation email and phone number since these are the most important cases most of the times I can get this data in Apollo.io
  • I can pull the bulk data of the targeted organization, or I can pull the emails based on the location and job titles
  • Apart from the email capture, the thing which helpful is that the email sequence can find emails and send emails in Apollo.io itself and also the report and the dashboard are so clean
  • Friendly UI and UX Apollo.io was the first tool which I used. Since then I'm still using Apollo.io for easy understanding

Cons
Apollo.io
  • There are certain features about prospecting that require updates. For example, if people switch organisations, it should be automatically requesting the new email or new contact data for a particular contact in order to be updated in the system
  • The lead databases that are created if their new addition should automatically be updated in the list that I created with Apollo.io

  • Better integration with Webex Calling.
  • More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
  • Better documentation for pebble templates.
  • Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

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.

Apollo.io
All of these platforms are good and offer valuable tools, but where Apollo.io is different is how this one platform does the job of several different ones. It is nice not having to use multiple platforms to get things done and makes integration and analytics issues occur less often. It is user friendly and constantly working to improve.

Webex Contact Center feels the most modern of the solutions we evaluated. It is an all in one package which required no capital expenditure up front. Webex Contact Center was able to integrate with the AI packages which our IT team investigating for future use. Webex Contact Center was also able to integrate with the CRM packages which we use internally (without the use of a 3rd party connector).

  • Increasing the number of channels agent can reach out to customers, especially text has shaved off a lot of hours from calling , leaving voicemail and waiting for customers to call back.
  • Less Downtime. No Upgrades or certificate Renewal, so fewer overtime hours.
