    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.

    If you normally operate strictly on outbound calls, this is a great resource as well as the call recording functionality. However, in terms of functionality for inbound calls, it is lacking. As I already mentioned, there is no mobile app option which hinders its accessibility to some of our team members.

    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.).

    • Salesforce integration: allows users to track activities and create follow-up items if needed based on the nature of the call.
    • Web-based calling: using a Chrome browser extension, callers do not have to leave the browser to make calls, drop voicemails, and work through a calling queue.
    • Voice-mail recording: prepare voicemails in advance and drop the voicemails into voice mailboxes without repeatedly leaving the same message repeatedly.

    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.

    • Ring.io could do a better job with inbound calls - it frequently just shows the number, even if the person is in Salesforce.

    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.

    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.

    Simply said that for the functionality that we require and having the speed dialer option, it is maybe at the highest one-third of the cost. The only other thing I would add is the capability of Ring.io to modify the front GUI webphone to fit our needs.

    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.
