Apollo.io is not very scalable if your company has a bigger budget - you need to simply move on from Apollo.io.

Apollo.io's scalability is very good.
Founder & Group CEO at We Are Team Rocket
I don't have any concerns about scaling up for that. The concerns are more about implementation than scalability.

I want to ensure that the information I'm getting is something I can verify because I receive questions from prospects or clients asking where I got their number.

The data accuracy needs improvement, especially compared to tools such as ZoomInfo, though Apollo.io is more cost-effective.
Virtual Assistant / Technical Support at Digital Witch Support Community
Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part.
Director of Sales at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
They are looking into AI to make longer projections possible and to also improve the quality of the data that we have in the system to calculate this LOP based on historical data or IHS information.

We had a one-time fee and now I think they are on a subscription model.
Forecasting Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number.

Since it's actually in a system and not being maintained in a spreadsheet, it has improved both time and accuracy.

Efficiency improves with automation, but data accuracy needs enhancement
What I appreciate about Apollo.io most is its Chrome extension which is very user-friendly, and it has excellent sequencing capabilities that make it easier to stay consistent with outreach. The fact that it combines both database and outreach tools in one place is valuable. I utilize Apollo.io's lead scoring feature extensively. The experience with Apollo.io's CRM integration capabilities for managing pipelines is excellent. The ability to integrate with HubSpot, which I frequently use as my CRM, is outstanding. It also works seamlessly with Gmail and automation tools such as make.com or Zapier. As an SDR using Apollo.io, there is no need to copy-paste leads as everything can be automated and integrated. When leads are extracted, they automatically transfer to the CRM. This saves considerable time, and activities such as emails, calls, meetings can be automated in the CRM.
Tom Beach - PeerSpot reviewer
Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive
Works very well for opportunity management and sales forecasting for the automotive industry
I've had recent discussions with the leadership team at Campfire Interactive about several issues. They're fully aware of my displeasure with certain things. Some concerns are not related to the tool itself, although there are some aspects that could be better with the tool. The issues are more related to technical service, specifically when we have an issue or problem with the tool, the communication gap, and the follow-through on issues that need improvement. They're fully aware of that concern, and they're doing things to address it. From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected. When that happens, we have to inform the Campfire Interactive IT or Support group what the failure is. They have to research and come back to us. In the meantime, we have 2, 4, 6, maybe 12 hours of downtime where people around the world are trying to use the system. Though it affects less than 50 people, these instances are frustrating.
