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.

As a whole, I really enjoy using Tellwise. From using it to track one-off emails to setting up entire Salesflows, it's a very simple tool that lets me focus on my job instead of trying to track down emails and activity. It's user-friendly and the support we get from the Tellwise team is amazing.

  • In my experience, super unreliable product... too many bugs for a knowledge worker
  • In my opinion, overpriced. They are making money for its affiliation with sales os product.
  • In my experience, filtering is messed up and buggy. No real support for Account based focus campaigns... Just good for basic calling, recording, and auto sync with CRM... everything else, sucks. Not reliable

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

I think the automated workflows and outstanding support are game-changers. I typically won't use a software platform that does not offer exceptional real-time support.

Usability
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.

It works very well with the tools and other Zoom Info products that we already use. The fact that it integrates is a huge win for us because we designed our CRM internally so we are very sued to working a certain way. We can use this to boost the information and tools from our pre-existing ZoomInfo products as well, so it brings out a lot of value.

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.

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

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.

ZoomInfo Engage is by far in my opinion the most robust, well-known, and widely used tool in terms of sales and business pursuits and CRM use, specifically for acquisition. Even when we've inquired as to what other companies can offer they often can only lower the base price we would pay. ZoomInfo Engage provides the highest level of access to information and tools while maintaining reasonable costs.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • We decided not to use Tellwise for the time being and will test it again in one year because what I saw so far is promising.
  • We haven't seen any substantial ROI.
  • If you need to track content shared with prospects and stakeholders, Tellwise may be exactly what you need.
