Koncert vs. Yesware

This is a great tool for heavy outbound teams, call centers, and others who need a greater reach. With integration into the right sales enablement platforms, it's a great tool in reaching the target market. It makes life so much more efficient for reps, who can do in 1 hour what might otherwise take them a week of dialing 10 or 11 digits every time

It works for my company and my problems. If you need a Sales CRM you can go for higher-end products that will give you what Yesware gives along with other stuff. Wherein we had specific problems we wanted to solve. -We needed a solution for a smaller team within our bigger sales team. -We needed a solution to be easy to use point and click and did not require any setup. -We needed to have a better solution to YAMM.

• Click Dialer allows us to call a customer or prospect directly from our CRM without needing to type in a phone number or copy & paste
• Click Dialer allows us to use local presence dialing
• Click Dialer allows us to record our own calls for coaching and Quality Control purposes

• Tracking open rates, link click rates, and reply rates. This allows us to compare different templates in order to see which allows for the most interactions and meetings set directly from email engagement.
• Seeing exactly when someone opens an email and whether it is in their normal location. Also if they are opening on a mobile device versus a computer to be able to organize the set up of the email in a more beneficial way.
• Being able to save Templates for Mail Merges to avoid the duplication of effort that other mass email systems utilize.

• UX - The interface is easy to understand, but not the most visually appealing.

• The ability to unwrap iframe embeds on email (e.g. if I send a Vimeo link over email, have that video thumbnail show and link out to a video)
• Removing recipients from a campaign. If my ruleset is to remove a contact from a sequence after he/she replies, sometimes a person will reply from another email and Yesware doesn't recognize it. (e.g. if I add jeff@amazon.com to my campaign and jeff.bezos@amazon.com replies to my thread, Yesware will still send an email to jeff@amazon.com unless he is manually removed)

I like the product, but due to the limitations I don't love it. I'm curious to revisit other options, particularly in lieu of Yesware's recent price increases (although I'm on a legacy plan). Some of my challenges to be browser related (I'm on an older computer) -- I'll have to see how things go when I receive my new computer. If the glitches (especially with regard to tracking accuracy and send later feature) go away, I'd be much more inclined to renew

Pretty good overall, but again it needs some tweaks to ensure user frustration is kept to a minimum. This would go back to the autosave feature I mentioned which would immediately be a value add but not something that should need a user to move into a paid tier.

Because it deserves this rating. The features and functionality provided are great. Our Sales team is very satisfied with this software as it integrates very well with our other software like Outlook, Salesforce, etc. Yesware provides great follow up with customers, which is essential for sales. Meeting scheduling is also flawless.

We came from using connect and sell after around 1.5 years. It basically came down to customer service. Their dialing capabilities and custom settings are very similar, both integrate very well with Salesforce and allow us to reach out to prospects, but ConnectLeader's customer support is amazing. If an issue occurs, we can easily submit a ticket and they will get back to us within minutes with a solution or acknowledgement that they're working to get the issue resolved.

All of these tools do what Yesware does, and more; but Yesware does the follow-up email portion best, in my experience. It is reasonably priced and is regularly adding new functionality to make it a sticky license for us to have. Yesware does not have predictive analytics or a particularly strong dialer solution, but it does provide team-wide and template efficacy tracking, and a basic dialer.

• We've been able to multiply our outbound conversations and appointments significantly with this tool. We saw pipeline begin to grow meaningfully.

• I think net positive ROI from generating meetings that lead to closed deals. Ultimately very difficult to quantify the ROI since it is essentially automating a lot of the manual prospecting done by BDRs/AEs - so ROI is likely higher than just that quantifiable number around deals closed.
