Groove, a Clari company vs. Mailbutler

When Groove was able to notify me that the other party already seen the email is pretty nice. It help us a lot to prepare what they will have to say. It will also help our business to grow more since they know that we are professionally waiting for them to reply.

Mailbutler is great for people who want to practice "zero inbox," because you can "snooze" emails for later response or action. The task feature is also very useful, as it allows me to make note of what action needs to be taken in regards to each email. In general, it helps me be far more efficient in my email communication.

• Groove lets us know real-time when a client has checked an email we sent them.
• Groove helps us streamline our day-to-day events, meetings, and tasks with the help of the Calendar Booking feature.
• Groove helps us save a lot of time on typing long letters when we explain our products to our customers with the help of their Templates feature.

Incentivized

• Snoozing emails for later response or followup
• Reminding me to add attachments

• Mailbutler occasionally conflicts with other macOS Mail plug-ins. Though, in most (if not all) cases the issue tends to be with other plugins.
• The Mail app for iOS/iPadOS doesn't support plugins, making it necessary to use Mailbutler's own app to access a limited subset of the functionality on macOS/iPadOS.

Groove is integral to our process and we're glad the price is affordable. The only way we would replace Groove is if the price went up or our C-suite decides to want a took that goes beyond Sales Enablement and Sales Automation

Groove is incredibly easy to use, and is flexible enough to use in a way that suits each rep. With the Omnibar, it can be used directly from Outlook, or reps can use it directly in the Groove platform itself. You can use their built-in dialer, email functionality, and even some LInkedIn messages.

Everything is good

Our Groove representative has been very attentive the the needs of our sales teams. They are always available to provide training for new employees and refreshers for members of the team who have been slow to adopt. The online support is also very good, I have had several questions answered quickly using the online support chat function.

Support is generally very good. Occasionally the response time is a bit slower than I'd like.

It was okay. But, just the once. I had to figure it out with help of others on my team.

Easy to use

At Nearpod, I have been impressed with the internal expertise and support around Groove as a key tool for the Sales and Customer Success business systems and operations.

Groove's integration with Salesforce is its primary differentiator. Outreach/Salesloft cater to all CRMs and their sync with SFDC has a delay, requires additional configuration, and is often frustrating for admins. Salesforce Sales Engagement (formerly High Velocity Sales) also has a native integration (with no sync), but Groove is easier to use for the typical sales manager/sales rep end user. With Sales Engagement, I would be needed to help build functionality and alleviate issues, whereas with Groove, our users are much more self-sufficient.

I'm not aware of any other products that provide the same functionality within the macOS Mail client. There are some third-party email apps for macOS and iOS/iPadOS that have some of Mailbutler's features, but my preference is to stay with Apple's Mail client, partially for security reasons.

Our organization was able to quickly scale Groove from a pilot group of a few users to a department-wide solution

Incentivized

• Reduced several hours a week of logging time in Salesforce that either wouldn't get done or would have been done to the detriment of more value add activities.
• Saves hours per week by delivering actionable/useful info from Salesforce into Gmail
• Gives me valuable insight on what emails are being opened and read. This helps plan targeting.

Incentivized

• The Delay Send feature has improved my email communications by allowing me to add details or make corrections before the email is actually sent to the recipient.
• Being able to track emails has been very helpful and, in some cases, has prompted me to contact people through an alternate communication channel (e.g. phone or text).
