Sales Ops Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sill the industry leader with room for improvement" May 20, 2026 4.0 Outreach provides great value for the money - the core email and sequencing product is still the best on the market Pros Engagement tracking (opens, clicks, replies by email) is hugely helpful. The core email engine is solid. It's easy to create sequences, schedules, templates, calendars etc to guide a prospect through a sequence. Email outbox is awesome - seeing everything in one place makes it easy for the sales rep to manage his work and easy for an admin to troubleshoot issues The Kaia call recording is functional and affordable Good value for the money AI chat support works and routes to a human when needed Cons Outreach is not meant to be an automation tool like Zapier, but there are obvious holes in its automation abilities. Why is it so hard to update field values at certain steps or take specific actions at end of sequence? There is some low hanging fruit here that I'm sure the competition is eating at. In some ways, it feels like the core Outreach engine was built in 2015 and largely left alone. I'm familiar with the interface and options, but it could use an overhaul. Alternatives considered [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) Reason for choosing Outreach The price isn't that different, and Outreach's core email engine and supporting features were superior at the time of evaluation. Switched from [Apollo.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/158696/Apollo/) Outreach is a better email management tool than Apollo, which is more of a prospecting database Review Source Connor W. Account executive Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great value for money! Great solution for growing team." May 14, 2026 4.0 Overall very positive, on target with other cadence management solutions at a value price point. Very happy with my former usage of the product and would consider it again! Pros The pros for outreach were involving a mix of ease of use, value for price, and adoption for the actual software usage amongst the team. Coming from salesloft, outreach was a great alternative for most of the same suite of offerings and support was just as strong as Salesloft was. Cons The biggest con for my experience was initial onboarding / set up. Support overall was good, but the initial usage and adoption was a bit of challenge. Instructional guides were lacking, or potentially just not properly dispersed to ALL members of the rev team.

But at the the same time, I do wish Outreach would allow for additional administrative and user customization and even deeper integrations with other tools in order to truly beat some of its competitors long term. Pros Outreach is the do it all tool for outbound sales teams. Outreach's features cover a wide variety of outbound strategies and allow for deeper understanding around meeting analytics, channel and template performance and overall team performance and metric attainment. The call quality and recording capabilities and ability to integrate with other platforms is a plus too. Cons Support can be a little slow to respond and solve issues at times, and occasionally be too vague in their answers to quickly solve an issue. Additionally, even on the admin end the platform can be rigid at times and not as responsive as platforms like Apollo or Salesforce to customized features and data sets. Review Source Scott B. Head of Sales Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outreach continues to be the category leader for sales engagement software. " February 12, 2026 5.0 I've been using outreach for years across several companies for different types of GTM teams. It's the best tool for SDRs and AEs at all types of levels to do prospecting at scale. Pros Outreach is the category leader for sales enablement tools. It's the best tool to use for prospecting at scale. Cons I don't have any complaints. Outreach continues to deliver on its product and overall customer support. Switched from [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) Outreach has better analytics and is easier to use overall. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head Enterprise Sales Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outreach - above the rest." December 14, 2025 5.0 Solid - the UI/UX is not the easiest to navigate and we found competitiors easier to set up, however once in functionality, reporting and integrations are far superior. Pros Best in class product vs salesloft or clari in market - functionality, reporting and for sales dev teams this has far more to offer. Cons set up and learning curve, salesloft is a lot easier to use for just dialling/cadences having swtiched between the two. Switched from [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) We had used both and partnered with both systems. SDRs and management found reporting, insights and customisations significantly higher. Review Source Kevin H. Senior SDR Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Saves Time and Boosts Productivity" August 26, 2025 5.0 My experience with Outreach has been very positive. The platform streamlines sales engagement through automation while remaining easy to use for day-to-day tasks. It saves a significant amount of time, helps keep outreach organized, and makes it easier to scale prospecting efforts effectively. Even with a small learning curve at the beginning, the benefits in efficiency and productivity are clear. Pros Outreach makes sales automation simple and efficient. The platform is very intuitive, and setting up sequences is quick and straightforward. Its ease of use saves a lot of time on repetitive tasks and allows me to focus more on engaging with prospects. Cons Some features can feel a bit complex at first, and there’s a short learning curve when setting up advanced workflows. However, once you get used to it, the platform runs smoothly. Switched from [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) Because Outreach is easier to use and the Kaia recording is a big benefit we haven't had before with SalesLoft Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outreach for sales " February 7, 2026 5.0 I have been using outreach for 4 years now and have no complains , it is a great tool and I use it on a daily basis Pros I like that outreach integrates seamlessly with salesforce, is very easy to use and I can send linkedin connections, campaigns, create my templates and also call all from the same platform Cons I don't think that there is anything I don't like about outreach, overall a great tool and very easy to use Review Source Ryan E. SDR Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your Dream SDR Team" August 8, 2025 4.0 Overall I would say my experience with Outreach has been amazing. If your team does not have a tool to use that keeps their calls, emails, LinkedIn messages, texts, campaigns, reports, and any other tasks in one place, then give it a try. I know using Outreach is one tool that has enhanced my skillset and made me a better SDR overall. Think of what this could mean for an entire team!! Pros Outreach is a robust and stellar platform that will keep the sales team organized, efficient, and effective. I use Outreach to perform my everyday tasks as an SDR and without it I would be lost. The reports keep the entire team on the same page so that we are consistent and professional in our messaging. I am able to create my targeted cadences quickly and easily. There is data to support the effectiveness of my email campaigns which keep me from wasting time on things that are not working and keeps me focused on what is working. I know my work is safe and secure because we are able to access Outreach through our single-sign-on portal, but it is not distracting where I would need to sign in several times or after a few clicks. Anytime I am having an issue I can reach out to the Outreach support team and they are so friendly and happy to assist. They even have Outreach University which helps me level up my skillset on a regular basis. Cons Sometimes Outreach can be a little bit complicated and all of the bells and whistles can be overwhelming when you want to complete a simple tasks. Pulling lists with your own criteria can be difficult at times, but generally Outreach does exactly what you need it to do. You sometimes just have to figure out HOW! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer AE Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for outbound " December 29, 2025 5.0 Pros Great for outreach analytics, automation and sequencing - also helpful to allow dials from different dial codes. Cons Generally nothing to complain about, however if you do need assistance, sometimes the response rate can be a bit slow. Review Source MK Matt K. RevOps Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great GTM tool for scaling global sales organizations" May 31, 2025 4.0 Pros The core functionality is great and does what we need it to accomplish - the automation we can set up and the integrations to our CRM work great. Cons There are some features that would expect to be part of a GTM tool that handles A/B testing and scalability well, like history tracking, version controlling, and easier ways to verify our business to ensure our phone calls and emails don't hit spam. These aren't major issues, but would be very nice to have. Switched from [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) I wasn't in seat when we made this change Review Source RP Randy P. Account manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool, changed the life of this sales rep" July 7, 2025 5.0 Making the life of a sales rep way easier by giving an easy to use platform to customize and execute outreach. Pros I have been using Outreach at 2 different companies now. It is in my opinion the best tool in the market - it integrates with our CRM and other tools, it has adaptability to set it up for smaller and bigger sales teams and you can set up a mix of different actions in the sequences (manual vs. auto, social connects, calls etc). It makes it highly customisable to the outreach you want to achieve and with the dashboards you can easily change your approach after. Cons There's some minor features that are still annoying to deal with. Blockers in sequences (bounced emails that will disrupt sequences) etc, for the rest I'm very happy with Outreach. Review Source YD Yanne D. Business Development Representative Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect BDR Tool" May 7, 2025 5.0 My team and I had a great experience with Outreach! It was especially helpful due to our call quota being 490 dials per week. We were able to keep track of our own dials as well as see where the team stood. Pros Helps sales staff organize daily tasks by importance as well as by outreach channel making it easy to differentiate outreach efforts. Cons Sometimes there was less flexibility with logging off-platform outreach efforts, which is something that happens often with sales staff. Review Source YD Yasmin D. Ceo Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Outreach review " April 19, 2025 4.0 Overall outreach is a good place for businesses to help grow Pros I like that outreach offers email automation and it’s really easy to do Cons I don’t have anything I dislike about outreach and works well Review Source CB Christian B. Manager, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sales Engagement Made Simple " July 21, 2022 4.0 I have used some alternatives to Outreach but think the ease of use and some powerful organizational and engagement features make this the best sales engagement platform for SaaS sales. Pros The ability to track email opens and a customers engagement level, and using features like tags to better organize myself to follow up with accounts at the best possible times in their buying cycle. Easy integrations and syncing with G suite and Salesforce. Cons The software is somewhat rigid in customization. Different team members were using different features and workflows and there was a lack of ability to customize certain workflows and tracking. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Development Representative Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Great "outreach" software that makes calling and emailing a breeze" November 6, 2018 4.0 Overall Outreach is a great sales tool that any organization with sales folks should consider. The ability to blast through dozens of calls in a couple minutes is really handy. Also the reporting/tracking of the successful emails makes it easy to see what's working and what's not. Pros \+ Lots of sales insight available (what sequences/emails are more effective than others) + 360 view is a great dashboard for any sales user where you can see your upcoming tasks (emails, calls, etc.) and process through them + Love the ability to be able to submit a quick question to the support team from the UI + You can tag prospects, calls, etc. which makes finding them a lot easier + The support team is very responsive to fixing issues and helping with training gaps Cons \- Notes on the account/company level don't work well (you enter notes on Mike Smith at Microsoft and those notes don't consistently show up for others at that same company) - There definitely are bugs that make some of the processes annoying - The interface is very busy. Would be nice to be able to customize what I see/don't see (perhaps this is allowed at the admin level) - Outreach needs to differentiate between Email Opt Out and Phone Opt out. Currently, if a prospect opts out of emails, we can still legally call him but Outreach wont let us sequence them because there is only one Opt Out within outreach. Hopefully this is fixed so we can still call folks who opted out of emails, but are open to calls. Review Source RN Ryan N. Sales Executive Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Outreach Review " July 15, 2024 5.0 Pros It makes prospecting by account so much easier, especially if you have multiple prospects in each account. Additionally, leveraging their triggers and automation can help you scale your outreach. Cons It is a very complex system but effective, there was much time spent configuring the platform to do what we needed but once set up it was awesome. Review Source ET Erin T. Sales Enablement Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worth the Investment" November 15, 2023 5.0 Pros Outreach.io is an easy-to-use tool and incredibly helpful for our Sales Department. Whether you are a Sales Representative, Enablement/Operations, or a Sales Leader, it helps provide visibility into all activity metrics, keeps reps on track with daily/monthly activity, and takes the guess-work out of identifying prospects a rep needs to follow up with or prioritize throughout their outbound sales motion. Cons Some of the reporting functionality could be improved. For example, daily activity metrics has a 15-minute delay or so for pulling accurate metrics, which can make it difficult to identify underperforming reps in real-time. Also limited reporting in terms of filtering custom dates (currently cannot pull total activity metrics for 3 months - which creates a manual effort when reporting on quarterly activity goals for an organization) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for automating repetitive tasks" November 23, 2021 5.0 Pros Easy to use, easy to scale and great tool to keep track of open tasks. Provides summary of engagement. Cons Sometimes, it was slow to load. Very rarely it also did not update the status of the leads correctly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Of Communications Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product, terrible, cocky sales team" December 5, 2018 4.0 Good product, adequate support, terrible sales team/experience. Brought this vendor on to one company I worked with, didn't bring it on to a future company because got tired/frustrated dealing with their sales team. Pros This product is pretty good, I've used Outreach, SalesLoft and Fileboard. Fileboard has the best sales team, they not only are helpful with understanding their product, but they also help with sharing their sales strategy using their product. SalesLoft and Outreach are the same in funcitonality, and SalesLoft has a good sales team. The issue I have with Outreach is their sales team is too arrogant, they have a good product, but I think teach them internally to be cocky, and it got so bad I just didn't want to use their product anymore and felt compelled to write this review. Cons The software is a bit glitchy sometimes, if it goes out you're just not using it that day. The sales team is very arrogant, not helpful. Companies with arrogant sales teams tend to have that culture bleed off into other areas, which make them very difficult vendors to work with . Review Source Keven G. Enterprise Account Executive Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Selling without Outreach is selling with a handicap." November 23, 2021 5.0 Pros I just started using Outreach and it's saved me so much time from manually sending emails. It also helps me organize my tasks which is critical for success. It's helped me closed more deals. Selling without Outreach is selling with a handicap. Cons Connectivity issues happen once in awhile but it's not bad. Review Source TS Timea S. Head of Demand Gen Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best tool in its category" August 18, 2021 5.0 Overall, I would choose Outreach any day over the competitors and recommend it to others. Pros Outreach suited our needs the best out of other tools in the market. It is very comprehensive and integrates with other tools in our sales enablement stack seamlessly. Cons The reporting function needs improvement; too much data and not the right metrics - it would be good to see output through the full funnel instead of standalone metrics. Also, calls connected should exclude voicemail. Alternatives considered [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) Review Source PC Pooja C. Sr. Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Prospect Management Tool" May 17, 2022 4.0 Eventhough UI is not simple yet once learnt, it's a great tool to manage all email cadences and managing the Prospects/ Leads and Campaign Pros Great Sales Cadence for effective Lead Management Detailed Email Analytics for Campaign Management Cons Inability to integrate with Google Sheets and only allows upload thru CSV Takes time for User to familiarize themselves with the Tool UI Alternatives considered [Salesloft](https://www.capterra.com/p/157977/Salesloft/) Reason for choosing Outreach Because of it's better email cadence feature Review Source VR Verified Reviewer BDR Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very easy to use, but frequent outages " August 5, 2022 4.0 Pros Super easy to use. Any feature you need is easy to find with their intuitive, reactive UI. Cons Frequently goes down for periods of minutes, and in rare circumstances hours. On top of this, it can be hard to find certain information when you need it. (why can't I see amount of time certain prospects have opened emails) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Team Lead, SMB Sales Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for automating sales prospecting" October 19, 2019 5.0 This tool helps automate email-based prospecting and marketing so your sales team can be more efficient. Pros I like the fact that Outreach has a wide array of functionality from email tracking, to email sequencing, reporting, and calendar integration. It serves a bunch of fundamental purposes for any sales team. Cons The biggest drawback of Outreach is the initial adoption and learning curve. It can take about a month or so to fully learn the ins and outs of the solution. Make sure your company invests in training when you roll this product out! Review Source KK Kevin K. Account Representative Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Outreach has made a huge impact for our team!" January 6, 2022 5.0 Pros The sequences in Outreach have been the most beneficial tool for our team by far. With a little work on the front end, you can streamline your workflow for the next two months whether its by prompting yourself to call a customer or sending an automated, pre-typed email. Cons My only problem with Outreach has been not having the ability to create sequences for myself but I think that is an issue with the access our company allows us.
