ZeroBounce is well suited for any project that requires list hygiene. If you're not actively emailing people and checking the response, it can be hard to know where or not their email address is still active or not. ZeroBounce provides a quick and easy way to check those emails for you without actually sending them an email. If there's a current customer list that you want to clean up, you can run it through ZeroBounce and remove anyone that is determined invalid for a better delivery rate.

• 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.).

I gave it a higher rating of 9 because I am using it as an added benefit to make my work easier and faster. I like how user-friendly it is to navigate all the features. Results were provided on time, and I was given the necessary information to accomplish the task and achieve the company's goal.

Because it is a tool with a very clean and easy-to-understand interface, with easy file uploading, clear sections, and everything necessary for the validation process. The only part I really don't like is the fact that you can only download a .zip file with several Excel files, when I always use the same one. I feel that this hinders the process because it adds a couple of unnecessary steps.

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 have used ZeroBounce for about 18 months and it works flawlessly. We are able to get all of our questions/issues answered immediately. Felt very comfortable with the product immediately - used their web site which walked us through it and were able to get up and running within minutes. I really haven't had any issues that required support.

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

ZeroBounce has better brand value and brand recognition compared to competitors in market. NeverBounce may still do a little better compared to ZeroBounce just because its a ZoomInfo company and has ZoomInfo data to back it up. Pricing need to be improved. Still we chose ZerBounce because it was best in business for email validation.

• Apollo.io helped me find genuine companies that we could assist through the prospecting filters, which was very helpful.
