Doesn't require any maintenance and is user-friendly
We use the solution for inbound solutions Apollo is very user-friendly. 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. I have been using Apollo.io for one and a half years. The solution is…

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the intent data it provides our company. I find it really interesting how Apollo.io can detect the intent of companies looking for your company's solution."
"I like the tool's UI. Its user experience is clear."
"Apollo is very user-friendly."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ease of use, especially for beginners."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The solution integrates well."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
 

Cons

"What's missing in Apollo.io is a proper CRM and pipeline management system. The tool is excellent at finding contact information, but it has room for improvement in sending emails and tracking the sales pipeline."
"They should provide a larger number of free emails."
"The solution's initial setup process could be better."
"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."
"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."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"Support is very poor."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The product is pricey."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"The price is reasonable."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
