Chose Orum
There were generally 2 major factors that drove our decision to move forward with Orum initially over Nice CXOne & Outreach's dialer tool; power dialer & local caller IDs. Orum gave us the ability to easily make dials to a list of prospects in an efficient manner that other …

Orum and Outreach have similar capabilities. Outreach can create sequences for calls, emails, LinkedIn, and other tasks. Orum increases the efficiency of calls so working with both software creates a good tandem effort for outbound work. As both have there downfalls - the …

Most competitors with existing dialer products seems to stepping away or divesting from products like this, while Orum continue to have a high level of focus and innovate to build a product addressing a critical market need.

PhoneBurner is a good dialer as well and might be a better fit for a different use case, but as of my writing this review, they do not have a direct integration with Outreach. They allow a third-party (PieSync) to make certain "if-than" connections, but PhoneBurner didn't make …

Outreach and Salesloft are both highly capable products. Our sales reps preferred the user interface and ease of use of Outreach. We evaluated Nooks and Orum to use as a supplement to Outreach's internal dialing capability to add parallel dialing capabilities, so our reps can …

Chose Outreach
Outreach has the analytics of the calls dialed and the calls waiting to be dialed. It measures the dialing by day week and month. We get pointed for calls dialed weekly so this data is important to our scorecard.

Orum is especially well-suited for companies that have high top-of-funnel activity metrics. High-velocity and high-volume sales are more easily facilitated by Orum. Orum is especially useful for industries where cold calling still means conversion. Orum is a must-have in any early-stage startup's tech stack.

Outreach is very useful for all aspects of work organization. I can keep my tasks organized and complete them quickly and efficiently. I'd like to see an app-based tracking feature to keep my tasks up-to-date with reminders, which would make things much more efficient and eliminate the need to constantly check the website. Outreach es muy útil en todo lo que refiere a organización de trabajo, puedo mantener un orden de actividades y me permite completarlas de manera ágil y rápida.

Outreach is great at managing my data to day tasks and reminders for next steps with prospects
The click to dial works great from Salesforce, and I love the integration with Salesforce where I can upload contacts into Outreach to start a sequence
Outreach Kaia is perfect to capture calls and search provide actionable next steps. I also like going in and listening to other reps calls
I like the overview section for reports where I can see how I am doing compared to my peers. Especially on all metrics
The accounts tab is great to see at a glance which accounts have had the most engagement

Calls get cut off more regularly than I would expect. I am not sure if that is an issue on Orum's end, but I don't think it is a network issue either so I am not sure why.
In the search lists, it would be nice if we could add favorite cadences or separate by our own.

It's a strong tool that helps our sales development team manage a large number of qualified leads. The sequence framework ensures that every lead receives enough contact attempts that we have confidence that we're not abandoning our prospecting too early without the overhead of managing those activities manually.

Very easy to pick up and use. I was involved in the trial phase all the way through to implementation, and actually defined the internal Orum process for the company. Given my involvement I was very hands on and involved in training the bulk of the team, and found that many if not all users picked the tool up very quickly and it was very easy to document the process due to the usability. The only sticking point tended to be the CRM integration for loading in contacts to lists as this was a little bit fiddly, however the actual tool is super easy to use

It's not as simple as it used to be -- getting pretty bloated, and I'm not a fan of the UI. I think it could be a far more usable product (and indeed, at one point it was) if the most important things for a seller were the most prominent. Take cold emailing, for example: the window where messages are being composed is tiny, and it's frustrating to use—maybe that's just me, though.

In our years as Outreach customers, I can count the number of outages we've experienced on one hand. Generally, outages have been very brief and have not completely frozen our access to the platform. Scheduled maintenance is always proactive communicated and the hours never interfere with standard business hours or scheduled sequences.

Outreach's performance overall is very high quality. Pages load right away. Occasionally it might take a minute to generate a report, but not any slower than in other platforms I've used. Outreach is integrated into many of our other tools and seems to be a very clean integration. Everything runs very quickly.

There is almost zero customer support. What they do offer is a live chat feature which is active during "normal" business hours which is nice for instant inquiries if someone is available. However, you do not have a dedicated representative to address questions or concerns and their billing process is confusing and messy without any support.

We were trained in person and it was very easy to understand. And if we missed any pointers there was more training given to us. So i always like this tool. The drafts were also prepared for us to sync outreach with our devices so it was straightforward. Highly recommend

Lots of attention from the Outreach training team, with a great willingness to customize to our needs. To be clear, you get out what you put in. If you don't work with them, you'll get cookie-cutter training. But we asked for a lot of customization, and they delivered what we asked for.
I expected more assistance in connecting Outreach with Salesforce. We have a basic connection, but many fields were left without a sync. We can apparently sync data without adding the app into Salesforce, but believe we could get more functionality with a better integration. The basics of setting up our sequences and using Outreac to run them was was fine.

I have both Orum and Outreach but use Orum for instances where I need to call at scale. Outreach is designed for one-off calls but does not have nearly the breadth and quality of resources for dialing at scale that Orum does.

They're not direct competitors, but they share many of the same functionalities. Gong has a greater focus on spoken communications, such as calls and demos, rather than emails. I think Gong also has stronger AI capabilities at the moment. However, I don't believe so, Gong would be ideal for prospecting and mass outreach, as Outreach is. Outreach is more suitable for exploration and outbound communications management, whereas Gong is better suited for deal and pipeline management and analysis.

As a business of 100+ people, we are on the smaller side. We took it on when we were 50 people overall with 15 sellers. We are now double that it has scaled brilliantly. We would completely trust the system to scale with us if we doubled in size

As a BDR, setting meetings is how I get most of my Bonus, and Orum has allowed me to do this more easily by reaching more prospects
Whereas before I may only be able to make 500 calls a week if I really grinded, I can make 1,000+ calls a week using Orum even easier
Orum's masking of my number has allowed me to get on the phone with folks that had seemingly been ghosting me for months, which has allowed me to grow my business

Increase in call metrics as it is easy to make more calls using Outreach features. Basically cutting down admin work time before the call.
Prospect journey and experience has been a positive flowing through a set amount of emails and calls rather than just being blasted with random emails. Helps BDRS stay focused on more important parts of the job.
