Kixie vs. Orum

Suited if you want to hear old calls. Not suited for teaching new SDR's how to talk or what a good call is and why. Kixie doesn't transcribe either.

In general, our experience was not good at all, we had been here for two months. We were using Orum. They didn't get one qualified lead out of it, which may not be the actual product. It could just be us. In conclusion, we just fell like a number in a system, and that doesn't really go with our company's values,

• Kixie integrates seamlessly with our CRM (Zoho), meaning it updates call notes directly on the customer's CRM profile.
• The one-click dialing feature directly through our CRM is a great feature. It's so simple; just search for a name, one-click, and you are on the phone.
• The local presence feature is a nice touch for cold calls. It provides a local area code when cold calling to increase the likelihood of an answer to the call.

• Our Customer Success Manager, Matt, is my best CSM across all of my sales tech stack.
• It does exactly what it's supposed to. We spend more time talking than we do dialing. Unreal.
• Nice Salesloft/Outreach/Salesforce integrations make it easy to use.

• User interface, sometimes the list you are calling on the tool can glitch and not show you the info of the lead.
• Integration with more CRMs like Agencyzoom
• An email automation option similar to text messages.

• Calls get cut off more regularly than I would expect. I am not sure if that is an issue on Orum's end, but I don't think it is a network issue either so I am not sure why.
• In the search lists, it would be nice if we could add favorite cadences or separate by our own.

Kixie provides a nice user interface. There is a bit of a learning curve to load leads but it's not difficult. It's just learning where to go and how to load lists for the reps. Once you have it figured out, it's easy to get lists loaded for reps and give them the ability to manage those leads

It's pretty easy to use and integrates with my other tools well. Only reason it isn't a 10 is because sometimes the pause auto dial option is a bit buggy and at some points the prospect can have difficulty hearing me on the other line. Overall though it's intuitive and easy to use

I have not needed to interact with their support team yet, so I cannot give a valid response. So far, their tool is simple and straightforward to use.

Good for the price and Pipedrive integration. In my opinion, less relaible than others

PhoneBurner is a good dialer as well and might be a better fit for a different use case, but as of my writing this review, they do not have a direct integration with Outreach. They allow a third-party (PieSync) to make certain "if-than" connections, but PhoneBurner didn't make it clear if there was a way to automatically log calls in Outreach. Plus PieSync brings its own monthly cost. Orum is a bit more expensive but well worth it for me.

• Kixie's dialer allows us to dial directly from our CRM
• The voicemail drop feature saves time and allows our BDRs to move on to the next call right away
• The automatic log calling saves even more time instead of having to log the call manually

• My personal ROI has been approximately a 100% increase in the number of calls I can make in a given amount of time, vs. calling directly from Outreach before (roughly 50 calls per hour to 100+). The increased potential for business is worth the cost of admission for me.
