    Groove's integration with Salesforce is its primary differentiator. Outreach/Salesloft cater to all CRMs and their sync with SFDC has a delay, requires additional configuration, and is often frustrating for admins.

    It's not that Hubspot is better than Groove, it's that our data does not pull over to groove very well from hubspot.

    So, if you are going to attract hubspot customers, you need to have a better process for moving your data over

    I used Outreach at a previous company, and Outreach works very well. The fact is, when we were looking at programs like Groove, we were, and still are, comparatively, pretty small. Price was a big factor in our decision and what had us in the end going with Groove. Yay!

    I have used Dialpad.

    Dialpad is great, and Groove in my opinion does everything Dialpad does. Dialpad lacks the automation, which makes me feel that Groove is much better.

    I selected Groove as the best application for our daily job since it gives us a lot of help when we can't reach our client by phone calls and also helps us to monitor our emails, meeting schedule, updates, and client meetings and the very important is we can monitor our sales.

    • 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.

    I actually don't have any complaint regarding groove. 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

    Groove has been an awesome platform to use for sales pipeline management. I really enjoy how it integrates with my Salesforce, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It makes my job easier by helping me keep track of the progress of each sales contact that I have. Leads are able to reply and notify us using Groove.

    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.

    • 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.
