It currently does NOT have the availability to contact current first level connections. Frustrated that its not yet available, but they say 3-4 months.

It's really easy to use and has a very intuitive interface. I think this is a really powerful tool for LinkedIn outreach.

Not able to ‘hook’ someone back into the automation. People who connect and do thumbs up are falling out of the automation).

Difficulty to choose an audience in Linkedin, must work to facilitate the work on filters and segmentation.

Has been a great experience overall. Planning to buy this software.

Pricing, free trial options... also because I found positive reviews in external websites.

Some of the reporting features were a little lax. I found it difficult for more long-term messaging sequences.

The product is great and the team is fantastic. Since starting with them my LinkedIn has seen consistent growth and I have been getting more real convos then I ever have on LinkedIn.

I will continue exploring Closely, but so far I'm impressed. I think this will actually be useful.

I also like that I can access my Linkedin inbox from the app and love the option to close conversations, removing them from view.

I tried to get in touch with customer support but no actionable reply in 36 hours.

Easy to use, it has very large database of emails from potential connections so that you can invite them through email and skip the 100 invitations limit on LinkedIn.

Overall its really good. Adding built-in residential proxies is a really nice touch.

Looks good, and if everything that is on their website that they say is part of the product is actually implemented then this could turn out to be a wise investment.

The software is easy to use. Customer service is fairly quick to respond.

Closely team have been great. Wishing them all the best in the future.

The LinkedIn import tool sometimes fails to fetch all the search results from LinkedIn.

The Best Linkedin automation tool with awesome UI.

The sound quality of the AI edit, its pretty easy to use.

It was recommended to me by someone who did a lot of research. I have never used another platform like this before but it still seems pretty good value for money.

I filter the search to meet my need and uncover the opportunity to meet new leads in my sales pipeline. Closely has a very impressive graphical user interface with unique value proposition.

Closely is a great tool for LinkedIn outreach.

Easy to use and way to autopilot sales leads in LinkedIn.

My overall experience has been great and the ream has been very responsive to any questions.

No option to message 1st level connections, or export data.

The only downside is that it doesn't provide webhooks or integrations.

The explorer tab is useful if you can't find a particular company's email using a tool like Snov.io. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, unlike LinkedIn helper.

The lack of a kanban board to track my lead statuses.

The wizard guides you though the setup, and provides all the options required. Also, having the inbox integrated within the tool is very nice, bringing everything together in one dashboard.

I really loved how it was easy to use compared to other products I tried in the past.

Amazing automation tool that organizes your connections and LinkedIn replies without the need to open your account aside. Also, they have great customer support and are always open to new ideas.

I highly recommend this tool if you want to step up your Linkedin growth.

It allows multiple linkedin accounts to be integrated which is good. The campaign analytics view is good.

The number of mssgs or connections limit makes it of no use.

I am very happy with my purchase, it was easy to connect and easy to use. I can see the results over time.

Very easy to set up different campaigns. Helps save time by automating the reach to right prospects on LinkedIn.

I'm extremely happy with Closely so far. I have been able to expand my LinkedIn network substantially thanks to Closely.

Excited to discover Closely and its shaping up to be a solid Linkedin automation tool. There are a lot of tools that occupy this category, but most are clunky and hard to navigate.

Deleting these requests in a time suck but needs to be done to prevent issues with LinkedIn flagging your account.

I like the Instant Meeting function the most. It is so easy to invite a colleague to join a meeting quickly, which really improves the efficiency.

It is a comfortable experience, as user and IT help desk doing troubleshoot to this application, easy to use and easy for the user.

This is best software for communication. It is highly recommend for video calls because the video quality is higher than other softwares.

I was very happy with the customer service we received as we were deciding to upgrade our account, and I love that I can use it on my phone but also as an app on my computer.

What I like most about this software is that it is reliable and provides a much better user experience than the competition.

It offers better quality in video calls. Cloud storage for recordings is an awesome feature of the software.

It's amazing what a clean, clear interface can do to provide clarity before a meeting or conference call. That is not what Zoom offers.

Great and easy to use overall. Love the ability to integrate it into Outlook and use that as a means to book meetings and join them.

This could be very frustrating as some attendees are disruptive whether that is on purpose or not. This makes it very hard for some people to learn and to teach etc.

Everyone knows how to use it, you can use it on any device because you have specific apps and it works seamlessly. So it's kind of the most popular meeting software which everyone knows how to use it.

I think its a great software to facilitate meetings and  feel like you are in the same room as others. I love using the different backgrounds.

It is easy to use, the quality is always good, the security is good, and it has enabled us to continue doing our work. The discount for non-profit groups is also VERY much appreciated.

I love he fact that its free for 40 minute meetings. I love gathering my team for training on this lovely app.

The integration with Outlook and Slack is a game-changer. The ease of use for our customers and other folks (like our board members!) helps us look professional and reliable.

It has been very helpful in conducting meetings during the pandemic. The voice and video clarity is great.

They make it super easy to use, the video and audio quality are great, and the chatbox to type in is a great additional feature.

BUT with 2020 and organizing remote events for large audiences, Zoom has been great and a life-saver.

When we switched to online learning at the beginning of the pandemic, I was so thrilled that this software was easy to use.

The ability to seamlessly involve hundreds of participants at the same time  as well as easy UI makes Zoom an amazing alternative to other competitors.

I think we were so overwhelmed by the zoom at this bad time that there is nothing to worry about.

We love being able to hold meetings and the ease of inviting and logging on is worth the money spent on this service.

My favorite thing about this software is the price: FREE. You can't beat that, but not only is the software free the basic functionality that come with the free account are great.

Nothing so much to complain about the tool but sometimes the integration with google calender does not work properly.

I love how user friendly this application is. It was a breeze to purchase and sign up, the customer service is amazing.

This is the most user friendly platform of its kind and it is very reliable to work all throughout the day.

The experience was great and good product but the price isn't where it needs to be for small and medium-sized businesses to take advantage.

If you have set it to 9.30am, if somebody has technical problems at their end they will miss it because one cannot change the time from 9.30am to later.

Calls were often hacked and weird things would occur. This was hands down scary, created paranoia, and just an overall bad vibe.

Ease of use (even my elderly mom can use it!), no fee for 40 min option, good quality, well-known & respected; screen share option is nice; polls are nice.

The integration to select browsers has been a life-saver and I'd say the price is more affordable than other software in its category.

It's very easy to use, I just literally just click a button to start and that was it, the quality was great.

Was simple to integrate into Outlook so scheduling meetings is a breeze. Connection quality is superb even internationally.

I love that I can give my students the ability to write and draw on the screen, which can create more of a sense of community within the class as well.

Recently I read that Zoom had a security vulnerability, I'm worried about that and about the info hackers could get from my computer.

The ability to integrate external video devices is great for connecting broadcast equipment and have better quality meetings.

If your wifi connect is bad it can cut in and out. Whenever someone enters the meeting a sound plays that can be very annoying when your trying to listen to a presentation and someone joins late.

I honestly am not sure if it is one of the users in the meeting or if it internet related or what. However, the sound sometimes echos really bad and then the delay can be frustrating.
