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 like that you can dial out so many leads and double the efficiency of the agent. The only thing that bothers me is sometimes, system down issue.

    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.

    PhoneBurner as I said before, has an excellent graphical interface, super friendly, with menus that the user can easily find and program the calls. The layout is good, fast, and has little delay and errors. I really like the tool and from the beginning, I had no difficulty with the usability.

    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.

    We selected PhoneBurner because it is very easy to integrate with Zoho CRM and if you have a silver plan, you can do a lot such as Sending SMS and unlimited calling, you can also record and drop voicemail, timezone calling is automatic. It is a good dialer to use if you are part of sales.

    Return on Investment

    • 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.

    • [I believe] it has cost me a fortune in wasted time trying to make the Hubspot integration [work] (to no avail).
    • [I believe] if the Hubspot integration actually worked, we would probably get decent ROI from the speedier calling.
