    PersistIQ
    PersistIQ is well suited for outbound marketing. It's great for setting up sales and marketing campaigns to new and prospective clients. The fact that PersistIQ emails are basic (they look like normal personal emails) and easy to personalize, makes the whole process feel more genuine than, say, MailChimp. PersistIQ won't replace a bulk emailing tool or CRM. It serves a different purpose than, for example, Marketo or MailChimp, two products we also use

    I would recommend SAP CPQ because it is powerful and works really well for handling complex pricing quotes and approvals. It save time and keep everything in one systems.

    Pros
    PersistIQ
    • Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails.
    • Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.
    • When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly.

    Cons
    PersistIQ
    • I wish there was a way to send more than 1,000 emails per day.
    • If it had more integrations with data scrapers or ways to add new leads it would be much better.
    • I'd like a way to go deeper into a lot of my stats on various emails.

    • It is a complex solution and could do better on ease of use
    • Perhaps give mini explainer tutorials as you begin using it

    We definitely want to renew based on the functionality and the use we give to it. However you never know 100% so that's why it is not a 10. Let's imagine if pricing changed significantly or they made sudden changes to the product which we considered negative... Then we would move elsewhere. This is highly unlikely though

    Usability
    PersistIQ
    In my opinion, poor service, and in our experience, ignoring our advise on who our customers are.

    it make the pricing and quoting part easier and able to integrate with other sap products easily but the ui could have been better and the customizations is not straight forward, requires deep expertise. which make the work more difficult. but instead of custom designing. this way we can reduce the coding and can go straight ahead with custom pricing part

    We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back to manual emailing and Linkedin connecting.

    It connect much better with our existing SAP system like ERP and S/4HANA. keeping everything in sync automatically. Approval processes and automation are faster. reducing email and manual work.
