Vaibhav Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
It makes finding your target audience easy, has a verified contact details feature, and its customer support is helpful and always available
My company used Seamless AI and Hunter.io, but I found Apollo.io more affordable based on the number of leads it gives versus what other products provide. Apollo.io has around one hundred fifty industries you can target, so it has a more extensive lead database than other products. The tool also has a more user-friendly interface and is easy to use versus other tools. You first need to learn how to use Apollo.io, which becomes pretty easy. Other advantages of Apollo.io over other products include more filters you can use to find your target audience. It also shows you verified emails and has mass email and cold call features which you can't find in other tools.
Jaikishan Daryanani - PeerSpot reviewer
C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool's UI. Its user experience is clear."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ease of use, especially for beginners."
"Apollo is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"I mostly like automation and recently added custom automation so we can brainstorm and find the best fit for our particular use-case."
"Dashboards serve as a visual command center, offering a comprehensive overview of project progress, deadlines, and key performance indicators. This visual representation enhances decision-making and facilitates a quick understanding of the project landscape."
"The structure it has, the sites, the boards, and how easily you can transfer information from one place to the other is great."
"The coolest thing is the way the files or documents can be uploaded to subitems."
"The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners."
"Besides the boards that we use daily to organize our information, we love the survey aspect of Monday.com too."
"The ability to attach files to boards and truly make it collaborative is the most important aspect of the solution."
 

Cons

"The solution's initial setup process could be better."
"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."
"The solution sends callouts when not in maintenance mode, which is a headache for the people involved."
"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."
"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 find that I cannot customize my automation for Slack as much as I need."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"More demos on how to navigate and set up certain functions could be helpful."
"I'd like better CRM integrations."
"We'd like to see less downtime."
"The solution could improve messenger-based communication with clients in CRM."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"I'd like to see more integration with outside software such as social media publishing sites and cloud services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Paid versions are likely to provide more accurate information and offer more convenience to users."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"The product is not expensive."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
