User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

XenCall is well suited for any company looking to make outbound calls to prospects more efficiently and effectively. It might not be appropriate for calls where you want to have a more quality conversation unless you stick with the 1 line dialer. Using multiple lines allows companies to hit many prospects in one day.

Cons
  • I thought the AI email-generating function was weak. The email sounded way too robotic.
  • I wish there were a split-screen option that allowed me to view my lists and leads simultaneously.
  • I wish putting contacts into lists wouldn't cost any credits.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

Aircall provides chat, phone, and email support in less than an hour if the chat agent is unable to help you he will book you a call with a technician who will do the zoom meeting with you and solve the issue then and there. They will ask for the screen control and take care of setting up everything as per your need which means you don't have to sit and wait.

Return on Investment
  • Increased # of booked meetings from outbound email outreach.
  • Our sales team's productivity has improved when prospecting/doing outreach (which has a monetary value, given our salaried status). This makes us more productive, enabling us to accomplish more and reach a greater number of people in a day.
  • We've only recently implemented this, so we're still waiting to close, but leads are on their way to doing so.
