Cons
"The solution sends callouts when not in maintenance mode, which is a headache for the people involved.""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's initial setup process could be better.""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."

Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports.""The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture.""We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days.""The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality.""It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
