I had less issues with logging with he other two, compared to Groove, a Clari company.
Chose Groove by Clari
Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Trello, Atlassian Confluence, Calendly and Zoom
Chose Groove by Clari
I prefer Groove because of its seamless integration with Salesforce and Gmail, and the User Interface is much more simple and user friendly,
Chose Groove by Clari
Didn't choose as this was a company wide decision, but outreach is less user friendly and the UI on Groove is better overall
Chose Groove by Clari
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.

Salesforce Sales Engagement (formerly High Velocity Sales) also …
Chose Groove by Clari
I have not used other products like Groove before in the past.
Chose Groove by Clari
Orum is better for calls, Groove is better for emails (my opinion, others may see it differently).
Chose Groove by Clari
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
Chose Groove by Clari
We demo'd Ourtreach and Outplay. Outreach would never really focus on what I, as a salesperson, was looking for - they liked to talk about the features geared to management and marketing in regards to reporting and the dashboard. They didn't have a trial either - and I would …
Chose Groove by Clari
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!
Chose Groove by Clari
We used 2 other products not listed above and both were awful, especially Zynbit (crashed my computer any time i used it).
Chose Groove by Clari
Groove.cm is a feature-rich online software option for marketing and CRM-related purposes for any business. I may not able to compare it to other products but I know Groove gave me a chance to perform more efficiently since I don't need to check my email from time to time. As …
Chose Groove by Clari
Groove is definitely more user friendly than SalesLoft
Chose Groove by Clari
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.
Chose Groove by Clari
I would prefer Groove over RingDNA because when I used RingDNA before I was totally lost. The design was not on point so you really have to navigate and explore it.
Chose Groove by Clari
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.

Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Apollo.io and LinkedIn have poorer quality data, but LinkedIn can do other things ZoomInfo Sales can't, and Apollo.io has other focuses like flows/sequences. Clay can have better quality data through its scrapping capabilities
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Strengths: Large B2B contact database, Strong U.S. coverage, Direct-dial phone numbers (one of its biggest advantages), Organizational charts and reporting hierarchies.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo provides much more detailed and focused search capabilities than what I was using previously. I like the depth ZoomInfo provides.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo has easier functionality, integration and far far more data available than the alternatives. It is more expensive by a decent margin but if that isn't an issue for a business then it is definitely the absolute best resource available for business data.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
It works well overall, but needs more filters from the individual. 6sense is run by an admin.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
In my opinion, ZoomInfo Sales is by far the best and number 1. I have used others like it and they don't even compare.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Lusha and LinkedIn Premium Business
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Demandbase has outdated info. No good way to export contacts. There is no sidebar; you have to use the tool on its own to find people, and the information is unreliable. It's not user-friendly. Zoom has all of that and more.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo Sales has all the info in one place. No longer do you need to check 5 tools to verify info! Its all available in ZoomInfo Sales so it simplifies my day to day.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Really no comparison.Smarte has half the functionality and even less data
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Better data, better user experience. Easier to learn. Faster to export, search, qualify. It is more expensive (for us) but is so worth it for data accuracy and user experience. Customers get so upset when you call with bad data, so it helps reps be more successful when they …
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo Sales is solid for enterprise-level data depth, but Apollo edges it out in usability, value, and efficiency for everyday prospecting. ZoomInfo Sales has broader coverage, but Apollo’s data tends to be more accurate and up-to-date for the contacts we actually care about.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
very well, they are better at international tho
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo Sales regularly had the best data and lead lists created.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
In my opinion, ZoomInfo Sales wins hands down. LinkedIn might be good for growing my own business or to network, but nothing like ZoomInfo Sales in my role.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Snov.io is great for email retrieval on company domains. They work great alongside each other as tools maximizing success.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Our niche business model means that ZI Sales OS and Engage are the only marketing tools we need for success.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
I prefer ZoomInfo Sales over sales navigator and UpLead as I think its more user friendly, clean and more precise and provides more sales driven data.
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
Does not have as good of information, most of the time their phone numbers and emails are outdated in comparison to ZoomInfo
Chose ZoomInfo Sales
ZoomInfo provides better quality leads versus previously tested platforms. Both platforms rely mostly on LinkedIn data, which is, more often than not, outdated and inaccurate. ZoomInfo uses better methods to provide quality leads versus these two platforms. The ease of …

When Groove was able to notify me that the other party already seen the email is pretty nice. It help us a lot to prepare what they will have to say. It will also help our business to grow more since they know that we are professionally waiting for them to reply.

If you are trying to escalate quickly and talk to many people use ZoomInfo Sales. It's great for prospecting and creating call lists according to different personas and parameters that you may have like employee count, phone numbers, emails, data accuracy, etc. In my opinion, organizations of all sizes could benefit from ZoomInfo Sales if used correctly.

  • Zoominfo gives us the exaction info such as email address, Direct or Cell phone number of particular contact which we want and we don't get anywhere except zoominfo
  • Zoominfo has huge database. Intent is one of the favorite section where we get the exact info about the companies/industries which we want

Cons
  • The footprint of the person who lasts touches the information.
  • The footprint of the person who edited the information.
  • Date and time of the modification of the account owner.
  • Date and time of the modification of the last person touching the account.

  • For initial users, the system can be a little overwhelming. A ZoomInfor SalesOS Basics guide could be beneficial to keep new users from feeling lost amongst all the options.
  • Clearer instructions on how to set targeted search parameters for inbound information would be beneficial.

Groove is integral to our process and we're glad the price is affordable. The only way we would replace Groove is if the price went up or our C-suite decides to want a took that goes beyond Sales Enablement and Sales Automation

With the combined resources of crowdsorced info on both data.com as well as the immediacy of info on LinkedIn, as well as intel on Hoovers, information provided on ZoomInfo is more readily available if you have the time to invest in looking for it. However, at the pace we do business, having a "one stop shop" for information is very convenient. On efficiency alone, ZoomInfo is worth the price of subscription considering our business model.

Usability
Groove is incredibly easy to use, and is flexible enough to use in a way that suits each rep. With the Omnibar, it can be used directly from Outlook, or reps can use it directly in the Groove platform itself. You can use their built-in dialer, email functionality, and even some LInkedIn messages.

ZoomInfo is easy to use, the tutorials and videos and help are well done for learning. The team relies on it heavily to obtain contact info, identify decision makers, research company information and locate leads in their areas. I appreciate being able to obtain missing contact information from trade show lists.

Our Groove representative has been very attentive the the needs of our sales teams. They are always available to provide training for new employees and refreshers for members of the team who have been slow to adopt. The online support is also very good, I have had several questions answered quickly using the online support chat function.

Alternatives Considered
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. Salesforce Sales Engagement (formerly High Velocity Sales) also has a native integration (with no sync), but Groove is easier to use for the typical sales manager/sales rep end user. With Sales Engagement, I would be needed to help build functionality and alleviate issues, whereas with Groove, our users are much more self-sufficient.

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.

  • Zoominfo Sales has reduced our company research effort by at least 80%. We now have all the information in one place.
  • TAM (total addressable market) data accuracy is significant.
  • AOP planning is flawless, i.e., allocating budget, sales resources, etc., by territory.
