Growbots Reviews & Product Details

2 areas I was most impressed with: 1) GB support team (ie. Jennifer Morton is a rock star), 2) GB User Interface, which is super intuitive and easy-to-use, making it easy to build one or more email campaigns, either custom creating your own email templates or using sample templates provided.

Nothing specific to Growbots by any means, as our issues was/is unexpected internal changes to corporate email provider which lead to a required new email getting marked as SPAM. Again this dislike IS NOT specific to GB, and it was unavoidable on our behalf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Growbots is so simple to use and gives simple instructions on how to send the best cold-email templates. Their support staff is very responsive, and super fun to talk to. They know their product inside out, and it really shows that they love it too. I like that you can see who reads your messages, and what campaigns are the most effective. You can easily add new prospects to an already existing campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the system to integrate with our emails was a bit confusing, but the talented support staff quickly helped to make sure everything was set up correctly. Everything was set up in a couple of days and works smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an amazing tool for lead generation - finding the right leads from your targetting, and allowing you to prebuild cadences to send out. Most tools only do one or the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bounce rate could always be improved (as would be the case with any solution like this) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pretty simple and straightforward to use if you are experienced with email automation tools like this. It's great to add variants and powerful to really zero in on a target audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It appears very hard if not likely to dedupe accounts. No phone numbers or direct lines. Also, I've noticed the tracking and analytics to not be accurate, with an example being if an autoresponder replied to an email, it counts as an open and response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the overall experience I had with Growbots. Growbots understands the process of helping businesses and business owners obtain leads that are perfect for any industry. The sales team at Growbots is very helpful and knowledgeable about the Growbots platform. CSM support is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

limited on enterprise data could use more data on larger enterprise companies. The 1 off approach needs to be implemented in a better way. Other than those I can really think of any other dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is clean and easy to navigate. The combination of prospecting and drip campaigns in one integrated platform is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results can be a bit broad for our target, but I assume Growbots would rather err on the side of presenting too many than too few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Growbots is plugged in to a number of data sources which tend to be highly accurate and up-to-date. You have the ability to be very specific in your targeting criteria and the messaging tool incorporates a number of useful merge fields which help to promote the authentic nature of the messaging. Overall, a great tool which saves a great deal of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's less of an issue with the product, more that our particular service is in a crowded market, therefore more of a challenge to generate meaningful responses. Growbots is not cheap, but you only need a small numbers of prospects to turn into customers for it to pay for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive UI and advanced search functionality helped our small sales team find and target new accounts. Fast implementation and a great CS team allowed us to get up and running in less than one business week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's impossible to have 100% data accuracy but GB is one of the more accurate tools I have come across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility of how to use the platform and shape it for what I need. Glad there's a Hubspot Integration. Easy to search for a wide variety of contacts, and switch personas with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the data is wrong but I do like that I get credits back for bounces.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the idea of Growbots to source contacts, create email campaigns, and the ability to A/B test email variations. I like that you can build a profile of your ideal prospect and filter in and out prospects. I like the campaign reporting and filtering. I like that it helps you manage the number of outbound emails you send each day so that you don't get flagged as spam. It also does a nice job of preventing a contact from being in more than one campaign at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is fairly linear in how it was built and the design flow assumes you set up a perfect campaign the first time around. It doesn't allow much flexibility to adjust the message campaign. For example, you cannot easily move around or re-order messages nor easily insert messages in the middle of a flow. You cannot easily correct a bad email address and re-send during a campaign. It is not easy to add single contacts to a campaign as they come along. At the time of this review, there are work-arounds but you have to create a new .csv file and upload it each time you want to add someone or correct that bad email. It's in the product roadmap to fix but it's not available yet.

Some of the reporting tools are a bit misleading. When you get a bounced email in your inbox, when you open it, Growbots counts that as an opened email when it shouldn't be, therefore, open rates can be over-inflated. Their AI to detect cold replies vs. warm replies, could be better trained and improved.

This is a tool primarily for email addresses, no direct dial phone numbers are available. Furthermore, I wish I could query the prospect database for specific people; you can search for just about everything else: company, industry, size of organzation, job title, key words, software they use... except the name of the person (i.e. you find that great person on LinkedIn... there's no way to search for that person to see if they are in the database).

I've found a number of the contacts (15-20%) are out-of-date by 1-2 job titles / companies. Some I'd like to follow up with but there's no updated email address to reach them, at least not from within Growbots. Thankfully when you email these prospects and they bounce, you get your credits back. On the downside, if you are capturing these outbound campaigns in your CRM, you get all the dud contacts which makes for a messy CRM and time consuming to clean up.

We migrated over to 3.0 and while there are a number of great improvements, the tranisition was not well executed and the platform is still not entirely stable. When the system crashes, everything is inaccessible and there is no support after business hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
