Likelihood to Recommend HVS should be well suited for automated email responses and cadences. However, we have been unable to get it to work as we would like it to. The cadence builder is robust, but can be a bit complicated. It's not as easy to set up a cadence, as we would like. The program isn't well suited for mass marketing emails, but more for SDR emails.
Read full review Groove is excellent for the use case of improving sales representative and customer success representative productivity and data quality when used alongside Salesforce . It is a Salesforce focused tool. You should definitely consider Groove if you are a current Salesloft / Outreach user and you also use Salesforce . Groove would not be a good fit for an organization not using Salesforce . Read full review Pros Allows you to move to different cadences and cadence steps without refreshing the screen or clicking to a new screen Fairly simple to send a one-off email to a single prospect Pretty easy to update contact information b/c it's directly integrated with Salesforce Read full review Groove lets us know real-time when a client has checked an email we sent them. Groove helps us streamline our day-to-day events, meetings, and tasks with the help of the Calendar Booking feature. Groove helps us save a lot of time on typing long letters when we explain our products to our customers with the help of their Templates feature. Read full review Cons We haven't found anything in High Velocity Sales that we don't like. To reach out to prospects the company may use an all-in-one platform. The ability to organize, call, email, and follow up on leads is a game-changer for sales representatives. Read full review The footprint of the person who lasts touches the information.

It's just that I will give 9 since I confidently believe that there'd be updates in the future which would be more optimal not just for us users but for the business as well. The only regret I have with groove is I was not able to use it before the current company that I'm employed

Read full review Alternatives Considered We've had to return to
ZoomInfo Engage , since High Velocity Sales hasn't worked out for us. HVS should be well suited for automated email responses and cadences. However, we have been unable to get it to work as we would like it to. Engage is not a great program either, but the simpleness has made it more effective for our current use case.
Read full review Groove is simple. Like their competitors, they give you the ability to create templated "Flows" (sequences) of calls, emails, and LinkedIn touches. Some of them can be automated, but it's also simple to personalize outreach. Ultimately, my decision to purchase Groove over some of the competitors was based on their
Salesforce integration, as well as white-glove customer service.

Read full review Return on Investment It's been negative in that I have to spend at least 20 times longer creating a cadence than I would with any other sales outreach tool. Read full review Reduced several hours a week of logging time in Salesforce that either wouldn't get done or would have been done to the detriment of more value add activities. Saves hours per week by delivering actionable/useful info from Salesforce into Gmail Gives me valuable insight on what emails are being opened and read. This helps plan targeting.
