Groove is used daily across all teams within the Sales department. Personally, I use Groove daily for the amazing flows and templates. These tools allow me to automate a majority of my outreach, which allows me to save A LOT of time. I also use Groove integrations within Salesforce and Gmail to save time because it allows me to stay on 1 tab rather than switching from tab to tab.
  • Templates
  • Flows
  • Integrations
  • OmniDialer Connection
  • Mobile App
  • OmniDialer for IPhone
Groove is well suited for organizations and/or occupations that require a lot of outreach. I have used other platforms that hold email templates, but Groove is amazing because the integration across different platforms is extremely efficient — saving me time everyday! Another scenario where Groove would be well suited is for tracking the outreach you are doing. I love seeing how much activity Groove is helping me achieve regarding outreach (emails, calls, and texts).

Groove is an amazing product! We mostly use Groove to track emails we send to our clients which may seem small but it definitely impacts our day-to-day routine big time. For example, this helps us in deciding on the best time to do a follow up on our clients and so far, this strategy, with the help of Groove's useful features, has brought nothing but positive results on our overall team performance in the past year that we have used it. Definitely recommend it!
  • Groove lets us know real-time when a client has checked an email we sent them.
  • Groove helps us streamline our day-to-day events, meetings, and tasks with the help of the Calendar Booking feature.
  • Groove helps us save a lot of time on typing long letters when we explain our products to our customers with the help of their Templates feature.
  • I wish they would add the ability to nominate a shortcut for certain templates.
  • I wish they would allow us to customize the design, color, and how the extension appears on Chrome.
  • I wish the software would learn from our everyday tasks and be able to make recommended shortcuts.
I simply don't miss my clients anymore in terms of trying to catch them when I need to do a follow up regarding product sales, and even after sales. This is because, if I am unable to get an appointment time from them for next steps, I usually just use their viewing trend on Groove and come up with a timeline. Best tool for this specific purpose out of all the software we have tried before!

We use Groove to send emails and track activities like calls and emails, and we also have the visibility on our scorecards through Groove, We can see the number of our calls made, emails we send and the number of customer who viewed and replied to our emails. We can also link Groove to our main tool which is Salesforce.
  • Sending emails
  • Tracking scores
  • Tracking if the customer viewed the emails
  • Document the account
  • I'd like you to improve on the actions part where we can segregate each action base on the timeline
  • I am looking forward to fully use the Groove in emailing purposes by also being able to receive the emails sent by the customer
Groove is perfect in case such as sending emails to customer that you are handling on a given time. You can set up flows to properly send emails to customer accordingly. You can also link it to other tools like Salesforce that allows you to document the account through Groove

We use groove to sync gmail to Salesforce, and to send mass emails out using flows.
  • sync email
  • sync calendars
  • track email links
  • track email opens
  • support email automation through flows
  • The analytics would be nice to have in a Salesforce dashboard.
  • Having a tab/app for groove inside of Salesforce so we do not have to leave Salesforce to access it.
Groove has done everything promised and helped our sales teams continually reach out to their customers. It is easy to use, and setup.

I currently use Groove to prospect via email, track my email opens, schedule meetings and track my activity. The Groove functionality that is most beneficial to me is the fact that it is integrated with Salesforce so I can easily see my previous communication with my clients.
  • The program has crashed on me a number of times
  • Sometimes a call will not get logged if the data is 100% perfect in Salesforce
Groove makes it easy to reach out to my clients on a mass scale by creating templates and placing clients in flows to best optimize outreach

Our team of business development reps use Groove to manage their daily prospecting activities. Calls, emails, and LinkedIn touches are organized into specific flows targeting personas and verticals, with an emphasis on kicking off engagement with potential customers. From a leadership standpoint, we use Groove to monitor rep activities and provide coaching, as well as homogenize and control messaging team-wide.
  • Integration with Salesforce is the best in the industry.
  • Automates compliance with CCPA, GDPR, etc.
  • Flexibility to use the tool across multiple platforms - Groove can be used in multiple ways!
  • Reporting - their focus is on Salesforce reporting, so built-in reporting is not as robust as other platforms
  • Bounce rates need to be finessed out of the platform, they are not readily visible.
If you are looking for a sales engagement platform that is completely integrated to Salesforce, Groove is the best. They make it so much easier than any other competitor I've used (and I've used them all!). With Groove, I can create a report on event leads and add the filter "View MY leads." At that point, I can send that report to all my reps, they can open it in Groove, and instantly add their leads to a Flow - no one else makes it this simple. You can even pull leads directly from the Campaign object!

From a data privacy standpoint, your leads never leave Salesforce. There is no separate database inside of Groove, so one less compliance issue to think of.

If you need tons of analytics directly in the platform, Groove isn't there yet, but they are currently in beta on some stronger analytics, but even with that they won't have the power of some of the more legacy platforms in the space.

I use Groove every day to make outbound calls. I usually make anywhere from 40 to 70 calls each day. Before using Groove, I had to manually dial numbers to make calls. It was a total pain in the butt. Groove helps be manage my sales pipeline and makes me much more efficient.
  • Click to dial. Being able to click on a number and have it pop up on the groove dialer is a game changer.
  • Email monitoring. Groove notifies me when a sales prospect opens one of my emails.
  • Call recording. Groove records my call which helps me take notes after calls.
  • Being able to create flows more easily would be more helpful.
  • Any way that Groove could turn into an auto dialer would be great.
  • Having the call dispositions be closer to the call and end call buttons.
Sales reps who using a standard phone dialing system will never be as efficient and effective as reps who use a system like Groove. Having the ability to send and receive emails and calls from a system like Groove allows for sales prospects to communicate more with sales reps. The closing rate of those sales are proving to be much higher.

We use Groove to support Marketing events and initiatives, but most importantly we use it to supplement Sales messages. We automate responses and flows to start people on a path of interest and continue the nurturing based on decisions or actions by the prospect/customer.
  • link to SFDC campaigns
  • automate messaging and steps
  • flow information between Salesforce and other apps
  • Additional detailed reporting on final actions or decisions from a flow
  • quickly append global actions to specific flows vs recreating them
  • quick transfer of flow or template ownership vs sharing
Groove is easy to install and implement. User adoption is quick and does not require in-depth knowledge of marketing or sales messaging. It carries data between SFDC and itself. It allows for quick scheduling of meetings and reduces individual messaging between prospects and Sales.

I find that you do need to make sure you have a good process in place for what you want to automate and the various messaging/timing for each flow. However, this is true for any system such as this.

After extensive research and use of the major systems in the market area, it was an easy choice to use Groove.

We have been using it to send emails using the custom templates within Groove. We also use the Groove analytics feature to check the engagement made by prospects over emails and how to better engage with them.
  • Tracking email activities such as emails viewed/opened
  • Tracking email activities such as links clicked
  • Has features like Email Analytics, Custom Templets for Emails
  • Frequent updates move features around
  • Email tracking is good but whenever links are added it adds a custom link to track it
  • Lacks PDF tracking
Groove does an excellent job as a sales engagement platform. From tracking email activities and scheduling meetings to provide analytics features. The only thing it lacks is PDF tracking which sometimes is really required in a sales or marketing job.

We use Groove to track and monitor emails sent to both customers and prospects. This helps us to identify customer interaction and see who is and is not opening/ reading our emails. We also use the templates feature to share internally for other to use as well as taking advantage of the email scheduling feature for future correspondence with customers/ prospects
  • Real time email tracking and notifications when someone has opened an email
  • Easily integrated to our emails and apps
  • User Friendly platform
  • Copy and pasting into the email templates can look a little strange and need manually fixing
Perfectly suited for customer success, sales and marketing! Useful for marketing blasts, sales reach outs and the overall monitoring of who is interested in what they are sending. If a sales person see's that their email is being opened multiple times by someone, that shows interest and is definitely something to follow up on!

I use it to do flows and love it. Great way to make my do easy and stay more active. It's pretty simple once I gather the list I want to target and I set a date and time I would like Groove to sent my email to. Keeps track of my bad emails which I can than use to follow with client.
  • Flow
  • Keeps track of who clicks
  • great way to organize my emails
  • make my day much much more productive
  • I can do multiple sends to the same people if they don't reply. great feature.
  • wish i could email more than 200 emails address each day.
  • notify the user when your account is about to get shut down.
  • it's annoying when i find out that day that my email is blocked cause of too many emails
  • or maybe bad email. i still understand the pattern / algorithm
great way to not have to email 150 to 200 1 by 1. make my day more effective to do other things. Emails can be very time consuming so with Groove I can concentrate of doing other activities to generation more sales for the company. ie. I can multi task.

We use Groove to automate our Business Development process and streamline how we reach out to new prospects and clients we already support. Being able to put clients into a Flow and just click thru to send the emails really helps cut out the time that would normally be spent creating each email individually.
  • User Interface
  • Customizable features
  • Ease of access to tech support
  • Adding prospects to a flow - I think you can only do one by one right now
  • sharing flows with your team - wish you could share them with various teams
Well suited - consistent outreach over a specified time Less appropriate - customized emails that vary by each prospect

We use to Groove in our organization for email templates and it records emails in our software. I'm not currently aware of any issues regarding Groove that has been brought to my attention.
  • Allow us to use it different templates for email
  • records the emails in our software
  • We have the ability to request to send an email at a certain time.
  • When I did updates, I had to have IT reinstall the Groove because it disappeared it would be helpful if there was a way to have it remain.
It's based suited when I have multiple emails to send to a client that are different that are extensive in content. Groove makes it easier to just cut paste them through the templates that are in Groove.

For Groove we track all out bound activity with calling, emails, meetings, and appointments set. It is a very comprehensive program that has increased our productivity by almost more than 50% as we weren't tracking everything before. It also allows us to see who is working and who is not so we can figure out what is going on with why some people may not be working as hard as others.
  • Mass email sending
  • Keeping track of our calling
  • Our workflows are amazing
  • Open rate for emails
  • It can be hard for a new user to get used to it
  • Email signature will double send if enabled within gmail
Honestly if you are in sales, marketing, or anything customer service it is easily the best product around. If you are using it for developers then I think that would be the wrong place for it. But for any company that is selling something I highly recommend using Groove as it is so easy to keep track of everything that the company is doing for customer-facing employees.

We use Groove as our primary sales enablement tool and it's been great. It's helped our sales team become more efficient and organized with their time, which has led to an increase in outreach and results. We've definitely seen an overall uptick in outreach and performance from our team as well as helped our management team better track specific sales campaigns and markets.
  • Groove better optimizes our sales team
  • Groove helps keep daily tasks organized
  • Groove syncs flawlessly to Salesforce
  • Better call coaching capabilities
  • Rollout of a conversation intelligence piece
Groove is great for organizations that use Salesforce as their CRM tool. It syncs flawlessly and has a very easy to use interface. We have a smaller sales team at my organization and it was a perfect tool for us from the onboarding experience to managing it on a daily basis.

The Groove helps our sales, business development and account management teams to work more effectively. It catches the activity automatically and synchronises with Salesforce which is very useful. It dials in all the reminders, emails, meetings in order not to miss anything.
  • Meeting scheduler that can be customised
  • Email templates
  • Quick reminders on the coming activities
  • Logging and synchronising all the activities
  • The email templates started looking cropped
Groove saves my time in email communication by helping to add a scheduler and new templates. Also the Reminders option works well where in a few clicks you create reminders and receive them on timely manner.

It's currently used by a few departments (sales, implementation team, etc). It makes our life much easier because we work with emails, Salesforce a lot so it saves us time by tracking our emails and auto syncing our documentation and also by creating preset Groove email templates that are shared across different departments.
  • Integration with Salesforce. Very Helpful!!!
  • Creating commonly used preset templates.
  • Emails tracking to see who has opened your email or how many times. This is very helpful for follow-ups with clients.
  • To be honest, I don't have any as of now! I am loving it!!! I like all the features I am using and don't have any problems. I am still yet to try out more features so can't complain.
Groove is a great option for someone who is using Salesforce and who is a heavy email user because of all the tracking and auto sync that happens that can make your life so much easier. Well suited for sales, or for someone who manages a huge amount of communications. So, please don't hesitate to try out!!!

Groove helps to track all of our sales processes and tactics and seamlessly integrate them with Salesforce. It is a simple plugin and enables us to integrate everything from simple email tracking, including opens and link clicks, to call and meeting logging and other areas that provide visibility for both our sales team and client services and sales support teams.
  • Integrates with email to track opens and link clicks
  • Allows quick and easy entry of new contacts and puts them directly into Salesforce
  • Allows batch email sending, including personalization for each email
  • This product loses connection with email occasionally and needs to be logged back in
  • Sometimes does not integrate fully seamlessly when adding new leads or contacts in via email extension
  • Is sometimes a bit clunky in terms of integration with Gmail specifically; may work better with Outlook, but haven't used it with that product
This product is an easy plugin to use if you need to integrate or automate processes with Salesforce or other CRM platforms. It also makes it simple to input contact and lead data directly from email platforms instead of having to open Salesforce separately, which can be a major time saver if there is are many contacts being entered at once.

As an Account Executive I used Groove primarily to send links in my email to prospects and customer to easily book appointments with me for demos, contract negotiations, etc. My favorite feature of Groove was the ability for recipients to use my link to view the combined availability for me as well as our solutions engineers, managers, etc. It made coordinating schedules and booking meetings very slick and easy while demonstrating that our company uses the best technologies to streamline our workflow and deliver max value to our customers.
  • coordinate calendars for multiple users via one single link
  • streamlines meeting coordination and bookings
  • We moved to Outreach against my suggestion because it appeared to have superior email campaign management.
For sales professionals the ability to send a link via email to prospects where they can not only view your availability but the combined availability of other team members such as solution engineers, IT security, and legal who may need to be involved in a call is huge.

There are so many beneficial parts of the Groove platform that it's hard to pinpoint just one thing. I value the seamless way it connects with my email client, so I know who is opening my emails and clicking on the links I'm sharing. It helps me keep track of what's working and what's not.
  • Tracks to Salesforce.
  • Automates the process.
  • Identifies the hand raisers.
  • Stop being so good so others can get a piece of the pie.
I love getting access to hard data on how my communication is working with clients, and Groove allows me to do that better than any tool I've used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Groove to track email engagement, import contacts and create new flows. I also use the Groove scheduler to book meetings with my clients.
  • Scheduling

My organization uses Groove as a sales enablement platform. The products allow us to engage with our prospects and ensure coverage within our sales department. The entire sales department uses the platform and I personally use the product every day to complete objectives related to my job function.
  • Email outreach
  • Call down
  • Analytics
  • Mobile app functionality
  • Improved integration with LinkedIn
Groove is a great option for organizations looking to build a more robust revenue pipeline. It allows you to scale up sales activities to generate more business. The greatest part about Groove is that it is native to Salesforce and has very strong integration with the platform.
