Apollo.io
The automatic email feature is extremely helpful for quickly contacting more potential clients. It is user-friendly and easy to access all buttons, which helps you navigate the task efficiently. It could greatly help to acquire more clients for a project to be successful. I cannot see anything less appropriate for me to achieve the goal I am aiming for.

Overall, the program can assist any size company with all credit
reference needs. We have not run into any issues other than the overall
cost of the program and the fact that you have to use additional funds
to seek information on international customers.

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Sequencing automated email campaigns for outbound prospecting (BD Function).
  • Integrating with Sales Navigator to help me find emails/phone #' numbers/"add to sequence" while prospecting. It's easy and seamless to find & then load contacts into Cadences.
  • Integration with Salesforce is a huge plus. Allows me to not worry about logging anything, but the executive team can see my activity & what is going on (emails going out, responses I get, etc.).
  • The analytics on the outreach data is always helpful as well (open rates, click rates, etc.).

  • It has as very good filter that helps pinpoint your targeted audience.
  • It has a large pool of contacts within the company, so helps to reach out to the right person via several connections.
  • The data available is fresh and current.

Cons
Apollo.io
  • Some of time it happens that right stakeholders' mobile seems not available in which improvement can help more accurate data.
  • Notifications when someone opens the marketing email and showing the interest.
  • Mobile application that will help us during the travelling. It will get very easy to log calls and find the contacts on the way.

  • in my opinion having to split usage between United States and International does not make sense on why this needs to be done....recommend eliminating this
  • need for improvement on error resolution....when an error is found the D&B resolution team is EXTREMELY difficult to work with...very clunky and automated when there is a need for personnal interaction

Usability
Apollo.io
Apollo.io has an amazing amount of features. It's great being able to complete so many tasks in one space but it's also overwhelming. It took me a few days to work through all of the options when searching for a company or person. After a few days it started to provide companies for me which was confusing before I understood what was happening. At first, I was also confused about what a "sequence" was so maybe some of the jargon can be confusing. I think with time I will become more comfortable once I understand all of the options offered.

For more advanced uses, it's hard to get it functioning properly right out of the box. It definitely takes some fiddling to get the systems up and running, especially if you have multiple streams of data that need to be managed across systems.

Support Rating
Apollo.io
The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

Make.com, Dripify and Hubspot all seem to have similar systems. However, they don't have any of the data. So, you wind up spending more money and time connecting them all to your system. Zoom Info has great data, but they didn't have automation. Apollo.io allows you to combined all of these other ones into on system which is fantastic.

Not at the top, but pretty good compared to others. The price and overall usability of the solution would put it in the top 5 options from what I have used. If D&B can make more updates and improvements, then there is potential to be better in the near future.

Return on Investment
Apollo.io
  • I've only just started using Apollo, but with the 24 emails I've sent out using Apollo, I've already received one response, which is a much better ratio than before.
  • I was also able to add several companies that were not already in my Salesforce account, which appeared in Apollo.io.
  • Apollo.io helped me find genuine companies that we could assist through the prospecting filters, which was very helpful.

  • ROI can be achieved anywhere between 6 to 12 months depending upon your business.
  • The product is expensive but the data provided is good to an extent and a big sale can help achieve your ROI.
  • The data accuracy sometimes can be bad leading to bad domain reputation.
