We leverage Outreach for outbound sales via sequences mixed with other solutions and technologies. Outreach helps us to automate the outbound sales process. I have built targeted campaigns and sequences for many different personas to keep things as personal as possible at scale. We are seeing the need for more customization and the demand for one-to-one messaging versus these mass mailers, which is making our need for Outreach a bit redundant.
  • Automated Sequences.
  • Integrations
  • Sales Solutions.
  • Reports
  • Customer Service - zero support for small - medium businesses.
  • Billing - billing is messy, and customer service for billing questions is pretty awful (if anyone is ever available).
  • Bounce Rates - our bounce rates are through the roof when using Outreach which isn't a problem we have with HubSpot or Pardot.
In my opinion, Outreach is well suited for an enterprise sales team of 50+ users - otherwise, I feel you are unseen/unheard/unappreciated, and customer support is not offered for smaller scale teams. Outreach is well suited for outbound sales that offer simple solutions that can be communicated quickly and efficiently via cold email outreach.
  • Integrations
  • Ease of Use.
  • Customer Service.
  • Automates Outreach (positive).
  • Wastes Time (negative).
We decided to leverage Outreach originally because it fit our needs in terms of sending emails at scale while also integrating other solutions and activities recorded within our Salesforce solution. Salesforce integration was a very important factor because that is where our CRM system resides. Unfortunately, we continue to have issues with their billing department, which refuses to take calls or answer questions, and because we are a small-scale team of 5, we are not offered any customer service support other than the automated chat feature, which is clumsy.
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.
No, we did not purchase premium support because we only use the basic features of email outreach, software integrations, etc.
No
No - we have reached out multiple times, perhaps a dozen, and have not received feedback. We continue to encounter issues with billing access and reporting with zero support.

We adopted Outreach in our enterprise sales organization when the pandemic forced everybody to become an "inside" sales team. I was experienced with Salesloft and this was an exciting opportunity to implement their leading competitor, Outreach.io.
  • CRM Integrations
  • Integration with Outlook
  • Strong user experience
  • Sequence (cadence) editing
  • Team reporting
I've implemented both Outreach and Salesloft. They are very similar tools, and my conclusion is that Outreach beats Salesloft in many areas, while being behind in a few. The Outreach user interface and Outlook integrations are best in class. In fact, the Outlook integration may be the #1 reason to choose Outreach. It's seamless, and allows you to perform many tasks directly from Outlook without having to engage with the Outreach app.

It is the administrative functions where Outreach is a little behind. The CRM integrations are great. No complaints there. But creating cadences (sequences) is a particular chore. Copying and changing the order of steps is a much more painful process than with Salesloft. Also the out-of-the-box reporting and analytics functions are average at best.

However, for the main audience -- the sales users -- Salesloft is a great sales automation tool, and probably the one I'd recommend first.

The Outreach user interface and integrations with Outlook email are best in class. The integration with Outlook is seamless and allows you to perform many tasks directly from Outlook without having to engage with the Outreach app.
  • Online training
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.
Always responsive, even just when sending a generic email to 'support@'.

There were many times when I had questions or challenges with setup and programming of Outreach integrations or sequences. The Outreach team was always responsive, whether I was reaching out to our implementation specialist, the trainer, or just generically emailing support@outreach.io. For the integration with our CRM team, there was always a very knowledgeable person on the call from Outreach to answer questions.

Outreach is the sales development platform our organization uses for the outsourced outbound lead generation services we provide our clients. We use it to schedule/send cold emails, place and record cold calls, manage tasks, CRM, and for insights to optimize campaigns.
  • Outbound sales task flow management
  • Cold email personalization at scale
  • Streamlining sales processes
  • Email warm up services
  • Team collaboration
Outreach is a tremendous tool to keep sales reps organized and on task. It makes the process of outbound sales as frictionless as possible so reps spend more time selling and less time on admin tasks. Whether you have a large sales team or even one rep, Outreach is a valuable tool to maximize productivity.
  • Sequence/task management
  • CRM
  • Call recording
  • 4-5x increase in productivity
  • SalesLoft, Playbooks and from XANT (formerly InsideSales.com)
Although all seem to have similar features these days, I found Outreach's UI/UX better than the others.

We have 3 sales reps that use Outreach.
We have no in-house manager of the Outreach product other than myself.
  • Cold email
  • Cold calling
  • CRM
  • Although not perfect, we're able to use Outreach for managing our pipeline reports
  • Again not perfect, but we use Outreach for our CRM

We were looking for best of breed and Outreach has a good reputation and all the features we require.
I would evaluate some of the new emerging sales dev platforms.

Multiple phases were used to help implement.
Change management was minimal
We were a new company so there was no change management required.
  • We have a unique use case since we're an outbound agency working with multiple accounts, so we required special set up
Although we required a special setup, the process was quick. But we paid a lot for the implementation and didn't use 33% of the hours we purchased.
Overall I am pleased, but there are times I wish they were even more responsive since time is money in sales.
I have not purchased premium support, nor was I aware than it existed.
No
We had an issue where we registered the wrong email address to one of our users, which seems like an easy fix. But it required Outreach tech support who replied promptly and walked us through the steps to resolve.
I find Outreach's interface easy to understand. Between Outreach's training university and our internal training, our reps are ramped up within a week.

Outreach is used by our sales development team, so the folks that cold-call or contact our prospective customers before our account executives address the sale and/or contact person on the prospect account. While we use Outreach on the sales development side, we also have a panel inside of our Salesforce instance that provides lead/contact information and reporting data to our marketing team and our sales team. It's crucial to determine a contact/lead's behavior and engagement for the sales development team because the sales development representatives performance evaluations are dependent on their proactive engagement with contacts/leads through Outreach. Our reps have a minimum number of people that they add into an Outreach sequence daily to ensure that there is always a consistent flow of prospects receiving messaging. We also use Outreach to understand converted leads and week-over-week/month-over-month conversion rates as well as reporting in SFDC based on Outreach sequencing data.
  • Customer support - our reps at Outreach have engaged with us almost daily (if not every few days) and are extremely pleasant to work with. This is a huge aspect of our reasoning for purchasing Outreach compared to another product in the same market. (We even heard about their awesome support before our purchase.)
  • Allowing the Sales Development Rep manager to accurately track behaviors of both her team and her team's contacts/leads. Outreach provides significant amounts of insight into data that we never could capture beforehand. It allows the manager to accurately and objectively evaluate her team's performance and also allowed us to implement good behaviors in terms of the sales cycle and engaging with prospects and rewarding those behaviors.
  • Helping me, the Salesforce admin, understand the field mappings between Outreach and SFDC, sequence process and its relation to data in SFDC, and reporting on those metrics inside of SFDC.
  • Sometimes the UI is overloaded when there are a ton of sequences used - this mainly concerns me, the SFDC admin, as I have to understand many services/applications that sit on top of SFDC and so it's sometimes hard to keep track. Other than that, I really don't have any complaints!
  • We'd want to be able to accurately document the previous sequence and data/timestamps of those sequences - however, I've had to create a custom field in SFDC to log previous sequence names and timestamps because Outreach/SFDC doesn't natively support this.
I would suggest implementing Outreach as soon as your know that your business's key performance indicators (KPIs) depend on lead/contact engagement and follow-up. Outreach is very appropriate with growing sales teams - I wouldn't recommend it if the expansion of the sales team isn't the primary goal for a company (i.e. engineers may be more important in terms of hiring at a given point in time during the nascent stages of a company's growth).
  • We've had faster lead conversion and increased employee efficiency.
  • Outreach has provided us with the capability to make reports on leads/contacts transparent across the company, especially for our board meetings.
  • Outreach has streamlined the engagement process for leads and contacts on the sales development team. They are now experienced with the tool, and the learning curve was very easy to hop over - it's a great product with a simply UI that's easy for anyone to jump onboard especially with a growing sales team in a growing company.
We were looking at SalesLoft but had heard that it wasn't as scalable as Outreach. If I remember correctly, the cost was NOT less than the competitors, but still 100% worth the purchase. We also use Outreach in Gmail and we had heard from colleagues that SalesLoft didn't have an easy integration with Gmail or other systems we use. The customization of Outreach is more robust than its competitors' capabilities when it comes to creating unique sequences, applying novel use cases, and using their amazing support team to direct us along the way (as needed).

I feel like Outreach support reps provide better support about Salesforce than Salesforce does itself - we may have a better support package for Outreach than we do Salesforce, though. The support team at Outreach is also extremely available and conscious of our interests and use cases. We also still have regular Skype calls set up with Outreach and it is more personable than simply speaking on the phone - although we have texted our support reps at Outreach before for immediate responses!
No
When I came onboard as the new SFDC admin, Outreach went out of their way to set up a call with me to go over their system and the integration between SFDC and Outreach. This single-handedly made me feel trust in our support folks at Outreach as well as familiarity with Salesforce that I hadn't had before (and of course familiarity with Outreach).
Plus, they sent us local cupcakes (my company is on the east coast and Outreach is based out of the west coast) as a thank you! Nobody can say "no" to the best local cupcakes around!
