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.

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.

Pros

"The fact that it combines both database and outreach tools in one place is valuable."
"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."
"I saw the benefits of Apollo.io immediately when I started using it because I wanted that kind of information to enable me to do my work better."
"The strength of Apollo.io is its database size and coverage, with hundreds of millions of contacts, and I have been able to find prospects across multiple industries and roles, which has been helpful compared to other tools such as ZoomInfo and other tools in the market."
"What I like most about Apollo.io is it lets you find your target audience. The tool also helps you find verified contact details, apart from allowing you to send bulk emails to people you're looking to contact."
"Apollo.io has increased the accuracy in our targeting, be it using the LinkedIn URLs, the work email addresses, or the mobile and direct dial numbers that are available."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I like the tool's UI. Its user experience is clear."
"I appreciate that Campfire Interactive has deep integration with SAP, which helps a lot."
"I appreciate the dashboard features and widget features of Campfire Interactive because it has the ability to consolidate data in bar graphs or pie charts, making it very easy to visualize the situation with new opportunities."
"I like the visibility of global opportunities. Prior to using Campfire Interactive, we would conduct Excel-based reporting and sales meetings with everyone bringing their information. Now, we can check it daily, look at the reports daily, and see what is coming into the system and what needs to be managed."
"The combination Campfire uses for the automotive sector, particularly the IHS forecast, offers unique predictive capabilities."
"Campfire Interactive has saved us time because the data that we are collecting is the same."
"Campfire Interactive is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."
"When it comes to opportunity management and sales forecasting, I have recommended Campfire Interactive to at least 10 companies over my career, including some of the largest Tier 1 automotive customer suppliers in the world. Different companies have adopted different aspects of Campfire Interactive and have been happy with the solution."
"Campfire Interactive’s ability to manage data through business processes and workflows for your organization is good."
 

Cons

"The solution sends callouts when not in maintenance mode, which is a headache for the people involved."
"Sometimes we get the wrong information on Apollo. They should improve the emails because we are connecting all the emails and logging on to Apollo.io."
"They should provide a larger number of free emails."
"Apollo.io still needs to work on the CRM part because it has started building some CRM infrastructure for companies to use and track their sales activities."
"There was an issue with Apollo.io earlier this year or sometime last year when there was a breach regarding its use on LinkedIn, and many people were unhappy about it."
"The emails are not that accurate, so improvements in that area would be beneficial."
"We want to find distributors, but in Apollo.io, from the LinkedIn data, I think it does not have a distribution option."
"The data accuracy needs improvement, especially compared to tools such as ZoomInfo, though Apollo.io is more cost-effective."
"Because Campfire Interactive is seen as a standalone system, I do not think that it would be scalable at this point within my company."
"I recently discussed with them the need for better KPI measurements in the automotive world. A big KPI in the automotive world is the bookings of the future years, and we measure that not in annual revenue but in the lifetime of any given vehicle."
"There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."
"I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that."
"One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Paid versions are likely to provide more accurate information and offer more convenience to users."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"With my idea about the pricing aspect of Apollo.io, I feel that the solution's pricing model is super good and a steal for what the product offers."
"Apollo.io is more affordable than its competitors. I'm on an unlimited plan that costs $19 monthly. Nowadays, Apollo.io has a $99 plan that gives you ten thousand emails monthly. Other products would cost $2,000+ annually."
"We had a negotiation with them back in March of this year to extend our contract for 1 year. They were willing to work with us to negotiate different terms and a different cost of production. They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"I don't know the full scope of our subscriptions for all the modules, but from what I've seen before, it seems fairly expensive. The high cost may drive some potential clients to consider developing a homegrown solution internally if they have a competent finance group."
"It's fairly priced."
