InsideSales Playbooks (formerly XANT Playbooks) aims to help SDRs and AEs quickly build closeable pipeline, by helping salespeople get a hold of more of the right people.

Outplay helps sales reps book more meetings with a truly multi-channel sales engagement platform.
It is well suited for any sales department, to try to get ahold of the person you are trying to get ahold of. Playbooks has increased the number of decision makers that I can get ahold of on a day to day basis. This tool would probably be less suited for people that do not have calls to make outside of the company.
Some tools allow you to have call scripts or key talking points readily available on-screen, ensuring you cover essential information and maintain consistency in your messaging. It's not the case with Outplay. So there's a downside. Pre-record a generic voicemail message and drop it with a click if you reach an answering machine, saving significant time and allowing you to move to the next call quickly while still leaving a professional message. That's a good side.
The ability to filter specific plays or pieces of information so that it's more user-friendly for the overall organization. Essentially, more room to customize the organization of accounts and how you're working them.
The initial onboarding process of accounts results in high levels of tasks - the ability to break these down in an easier way to help with time management would be helpful.
It only took a day to get comfortable with Playbooks. The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed
A key advantage is the automated follow-up. Leads don't fall through the cracks because the system ensures timely and persistent (but not annoying) follow-up emails are sent according to your predefined cadence until a prospect replies or is otherwise dispositioned. Our team can build, share, and refine a library of effective email templates, ensuring brand consistency and leveraging best practices across the board.
The Insidesales Playbooks is by far more intuitive and organized than other programs I have used in the past. Unfortunately I have not had experience with other products that are available out there. I would hope we will see more improvements from the ISDC tool as we all use it more and provide feedback
