Overall Satisfaction with Waalaxy

I started using waalaxy as linkedin automation to get contacts quickly and automatically to build a network in efficent my time. This was my first time using these kinds of tools and I was not fully aware of their full potential. I had heard good things about it and wanted to use it.

Pros

  • Automation: request for connection at random times to simulate human intervention
  • automation: email link request to increase the maximum limit of link requests (before August 2022, linkedin policy changed message policies)
  • automation: email search on linkedin

Cons

  • needs to improve the interface to make it faster to use the platform, especially for those who do not always use all the functions and do not remember them. Navigating through the menus becomes time-consuming
  • choice of profile "warming" type to avoid linkedin ban. Waalaxy seems less careful than other platforms to use automations with caution, at least in the beginning (you can't go from zero to 20 link requests a day because you risk banning. It's not certain but you risk it)
  • 20 requests per day15% links accepted (depends on your message/strategy and industry, not the tool)
  • return on investment is certain if you don't think automation can do it all: you have to work the contacts generated by waalaxy
  • Closely
Waalaxy works well and has been on the market for quite some time; it is a solid product. For my very personal use judgment, I don't like to waste time looking for functions in menus-I use too many saas to waste time and remember where I find functions.Learning curve and immediate usability are key for me, so I was better off with Closely which has a much better UX.Maybe it's my problem and you will be just as well off as many others, you just have to try both because they have the free version

Closely
waalaxy is a good tool for automating activity on linkedin, creating contacts that will then have to be developed directly by you, but it speeds up the initial steps and skims contacts very quickly (if the bot sends 20 requests a day and 15 percent of people accept the link, you already know who to continue conversations with and who to leave alone).The only note is the scattered interface compared to others with a simpler and more direct ux.Maybe it's personal taste, because it continues to get a lot of positive feedback from many users.

Using Waalaxy

1 - Feelance only me
1 - waalaxy can manage multiple linkedin accounts, and it is possible to delegate to a secretary or coworker the use of the platform for one or more profiles. Automations allow optimal time management of collaborators, at least for those functions for which we can delegate to a bot.
  • get contacts/links to linkedin profile, this is essential
  • Automate every action, from viewing, messaging, connection request, any kind of business communication or repetitive activity
  • Maintain relationships with people linked to the profile in an automated manner
  • Obtain metrics to understand whether automated and non-automated actions are approaching the goals we have set or whether we need to approve changes to our operations
  • Keep the profile active even during a period of inactivity
  • integrated email messaging
  • linked crm
  • Anti-ban limits set by waalaxy without us bothering
  • platform features automatically updated to linkedin changes saving us the time we would have to search for these news items
  • absolutely amazing blog
  • search for collaborators, I have occasional collaborators and by word of mouth, but for future expansion the search through waalaxy would be quick and straight to the target
  • Management of virtual profiles for competitive monitoring or brand promotion
  • possible future cross-selling with other non-core sales activities (without automation, time would be too short)
è una piattaforma solida e aggiornata, ma ha un difetto che non mi piace ed è che personalmente non mi piace l'interfaccia per usarla. Questo è l'unico difetto e penso che sia soggettivo.

Evaluating Waalaxy and Competitors

  • Other
Affidabilità sia dell'azienda che del bot oltre ai costanti e veloci aggiornamenti e modifiche a linkedin che se non sufficientemente tempestivi potrebbero causare il ban dell'account linkedin
It is difficult to make such an assessment because there is no perfect software and there are few that compete with Waalaxy. This software is not perfect but it is extremely reliable which is the most important feature when you rely on a tool that links to your linkedin account on which you have spent hours and hours of time and you cannot afford to lose what is built

Using Waalaxy

it has a lot of functions, I haven't tried them all, but when I looked for something I found the interface scattered in menus and I didn't immediately find what I was looking for, this can also be frustrating because there are some functions that you rarely use so you forget where the buttons and menu are and so a more straightforward visual approach would be preferable even for those who are not new to the tool.

  • Requesting connections with other users, this is the only feature that I'm really interested in right now is that it's super easy for anyone to use
  • setting up messages is very simple and the interface really nice
  • All the ones you don't use often aside from link requests
