Chose Autoklose
Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, …

If someone only runs a campaign using email and telephone communication, Autoklose is perfect, and I highly recommend it. If someone uses a more diverse set of tools and wants a more complex type of sequence, Autoklose does not allow their users to program communication tools that some other tools and software allow.

It was a game changer bringing in Salesloft. We use Microsoft Dynamics as our CRM and many of my reps had found it difficult to use the reporting as well as make sure they were surfacing their best leads at the right time. Once we implemented Salesloft we saw a 200% increase in productivity and were able to make some corrections around messaging and the type of outreach we were focused on.

Pros
VanillaSoft
  • It is helping in editing, managing, and send[ing] out large marketing campaigns.
  • It is easy to handle multiple emails in appropriate sequence.
  • Our company [has been] using this for a very long time. It is one of the perfect email solutions we found for our organization.
  • I have been very much impressed by their support staff.

SalesLoft
  • Schedules outbound activities (e.g. calls, emails) and provides a daily worklist for each BDR/SDR. Flexible approach to prioritization based on organization strategy and/or customer engagement. Allows the BDR to focus on their value add - engaging directly with the prospect - and minimizes administrative overhead.
  • Provides a one-click "Book a meeting with me" link that simplifies the meeting scheduling experience for prospects. No more emailing back and forth to find a date and time that works.
  • Includes call recording and a live "call studio" where a manager can listen to active calls and "whisper" to the BDR if needed. This provides great post-call or in-call support for coaching new BDR/SDRs.
  • Delivers a decent set of reporting that allows visibility into individual BDR productivity as well as tracking macro trends such as call volume, pick-ups and meeting scheduled. This allows for problem detection and tuning to maximize productivity.
  • Support and customer success teams are incredibly responsive and extremely helpful.

Cons
VanillaSoft
  • AutoKlose uses your own email, (e.g. Microsoft Outlook), so it runs the risk of exceeding the Microsoft Message Rate Limit, which can be problematic for your Outlook account.
  • Additional throttling limits for the SMTP Authentication protocol are:
  • 30 messages per minute
  • Recipient rate limit of 10,000 recipients per day.
  • Exceeding these limits will cause the following issues:
  • Exceeding the per minute limit causes email delivery delays, any excess in message submission will be throttled and successively carried over to the following minutes.
  • Exceeding the per day limit causes the following error message:
  • 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:SubmissionQuotaExceededException.

  • The inbound dialer. I don't particularly like having to open a second window just for inbound calls. Especially if I forget to close it during a meeting and get interrupted.
  • The texting interface. I can have emails templated, to fill fields pulled from the lead profile, like name, company, positions, etc. I would like the same functionality for texting, especially since I send as many texts as I do emails. Even being able to save snippets or templates would be nice.
  • On the note of texting, having a dedicated tab in the People view for text messages would do a lot to let me catch up on other people's conversations with the lead, instead of having to find them on the main Activity tab.

SalesLoft is absolutely VITAL to our daily operations. We could not function without it or a program like it. Speaking as a Sales Person who has had to operate without a product like this, the difference is night and day. The ability to stay organized, automate tasks, easily log activities and notes, review calls, and coach team members is an absolute gamechanger.

Usability
VanillaSoft
Whether it's setting up integrations, creating email campaigns, managing conversations with prospects, Autoklose is a well-designed tool that provides clarity along the way for users to find their bearings, and understand what to do. The help documentation is excellent, the support is great, but the tool is built in a way that simply makes sense when you're using it.

The availability is pretty good, we do sometimes have errors or delays in syncing activities but nothing that has been too detrimental to our workflow. Most recently we had an issue with Lofting through Outlook due to a change in security token that took a few weeks to resolve but it is fixed now.

Our Autoklose rep is amazing! Jelena has always gotten back to us within 24 hours, despite living on a different continent. She is completely proficient with the tool and is usually able to answer our questions with a brief email or short virtual meeting.

We had some virtual training with our CSM which was very well constructed. It took some time to get into the full swing of things but with a few weeks of hands on experience I was feeling confidant. The SL team was always available to answer questions or jump an a call to walk us through stuff. I also used the Customer Help Center for a few self guided learnings on how to use specific features related to reporting and team management.

I think that I have already said it, Autoklose has much better support and is really quick to set up and use compared with any of the other systems that I have used over the years.

Salesloft blows outreach out of the water in all aspects. One of the biggest issues I had was their unwillingness to listen to customer feedback. I had requested several small changes to be made when I had previously used the platform that unfortunately fell onto deff ears. I am much happier using Salesloft and the positive results I've experienced are a direct result of that.

Scalability

It's expensive to have a single seat for each salesperson, so the alias feature will be the perfect addition to this product.

The scalability was pretty good, we started with 4 or 5 users on one team and scaled into 30+ members across 3 teams

Return on Investment

  • I feel the increased prospect engagement and business opportunities created supported the cost. In my industry 1 customer can support positive ROI.
  • I saw an overall increase in mass emailing effectiveness and we were able to automate majority of our campaigns which increased productivity for marketing & sales.
