Overall Satisfaction with Outreach

Outreach is being used by our sales development teams across the globe. A few account executives have opted to use Outreach as well, instead of Yesware.

Outreach enables our sales development team to create tailored contact strategies to follow-up with outbound or inbound leads. The level of control and granularity in the options allows for a great way of configuring the solution. However, the many options can also hamper people that are just starting in the role or overwhelm people who are not that tech-savvy.

Pros

  • Great level of control to create your perfect touch campaign
  • Bi-directional sync with Salesforce.com to sync accounts/contacts/leads => saves SDRs a TON of time!
  • Very responsive support team

Cons

  • Too many options/menus/settings can confuse less experienced users.
  • Lots of issues if not set up properly.
  • Needs some setup time to get the sync with Salesforce.com off the ground.
  • Great way to set up our new hires with pre-made campaigns and reduce onboarding time
  • Identifying and exchanging messaging that works is very simple
We selected Outreach after using ToutApp, then switching to SalesLoft.

The one thing we really liked was the bi-directional sync with Salesforce.com which saves our teams a lot of time (no more manual updates of lead/contact stages, etc.).
Detailed reports about user performance - we can easily drill down and see the activity level, quality of messaging used, response rates, etc., when we combine this with the results it can help us explain why a person is doing well or where we have to do additional coaching with the SDR in question.
Outreach is great for hardcore outbound teams. Analytics are very granular and you can measure anything! [It's] Less suited for account executives and customer success teams that want a more easy-to-use product.
