Absolutely LOVE me my Octopus CRM - It has simplified my outreach strategies and have enabled my LinkedIn profile to have a lot more visitors leading to more credibility in the market.

The system has its own restrictions in place that does not breach LinkedIn’s engagement policies. That means whenever you are trying to send too many connection requests or messages to people, Octopus will automatically stop you from getting banned on LinkedIn! Also my prospects love personalised connection messages, they love that we are visiting them, endorsing them and then sending them follow up messages to connect with our business too! It’s a must have for any serious salesperson.

It’s sometimes a little hard to track which people you have engaged with and which you haven’t. I wish it came with its own data visualisation CRM.

Mass mailing with personalization of emails

integration with Sales navigator and Discovering org

Could be nice to have a kind of an easy transfer and duplication mode from our old CRM

First off the charged me for a yearly plan instead of a monthly plan. When I emailed them about it they refused to respond. Now they are saying since I want to cancel that they only do refunds in the first 24 hours. Well when you refuse to respond until the 24 hours is up, that is an extremely shady business practice. I would not use this if it were free

It’s relatively easy to use is the only

everything nothing works properly ssssss

I love how Octopus facilitates creating outreach campaigns at a massive scale without having to worry that you'd follow-up on someone who replied. It has 10X'd our sales and I highly recommend the service. This is why we also started recommending this to our portfolio startups. You can create multiple campaigns and compare the efficiency. This enables us to test fast and iterate our approach at a pace that wasn't possible before.

It would be even better if I could merge campaign lists. For example, if I run 5 different campaigns on the same target audience I don't want to reach out to the same person twice. If you reach out to someone in a different campaign, the tool doesn't recognize that that person has been contacted before.

In overall, I am very satisfied with the OctopusCRM and I will be using it myself and recommend to all my clients.

The platform is cloud-based, so all the data is kept on the servers. You can access the software on any computer by installing the Chrome extension. Functionalities are easy to use and user friendly.

That you need to start every action manually. It would be amazing to have some automation here, that will automatically start every day.

I was looking for a solution to semi-automate the building of my network on LinkedIn. I wanted to be able to create scripts for how I would reach out, control who was being reached out to, and be able to automate some of the process of connecting. Since I have started, I have grown my network by about 500 connections and this in only after a few weeks of working the system. I'm very happy with it.

I like that it's pretty easy to use and mostly automates the job of building my network on LinkedIn. Was never really interested in something that was a total automation where I couldn't control who and when it was connecting, so this software was perfect for me.

Some of the features are not exactly obvious about how they work, so you have to do the trainings to learn how to use them, but once you understand how they work, they are pretty easy to use.

I save almost 3 hours a day on new connections, endorsing profiles, etc. Now it's fully automated. I spend around 10 minutes a day to launch activities.

Totally happy with Octopus CRM. I managed to boost my LinkedIn profile and increased the number of 1st connections from 2.5k to 5.5k in one month. I use it daily: make visits, connections, endorsements every day. From time to time I do cold messaging. I tried many other similar services but Octopus is the best for me. The almost ideal combination of features and price.

Messages automation can be better. I wish to have a total 4-5-steps messaging automation. It would be great to have something like a schedule to launch connections and other processes from time to time.

This is super easy to use and very effective.

I feel like the pieces lacking in this software are actually limitations of the LinkedIn platform. This is a great tool. If I'm pushed, maybe something to be used outside of Chrome

Octoplus easy me the way to interact en LinkedIn , expanding possibilities in expand my network and reach them after

The help that the software provide for daily task , allowing me to increase my SSI with less effort. Very Friendly interface to work with

A good improvement to launch will be automated task

Octopus CRM has helped me expand my network of like-minded and backgrounded entrepreneurs, many of whom I have connected with offline and am now actively working with.

Funnel feature that automatically moves individuals from one interaction to another is key for my continued engagement with connections on LinkedIn.

I would like to see a feature where Octopus CRM invites connections to 'follow' my company page automatically (can click a follow link from the message) rather than the two step process that must be gone through where I send a message and the recipient has to go to my company page and then click the follow button.

This is helping me to build a really good database of targeted connections. Means my marketing messages i put out on LinkedIn are getting in front of significant numbers of my key targets. I have managed to add more than 2000 new connections in a very short time, and it is helping me to increase my success rate as many people see me connected to their peers. I have seen my acceptance rate hit close to 60% some days - thats another 60 connections added in a single day - AUTOMATICALY. I need to add that these are first time connection requests that are being successful - on my first time reaching out to them - 60% of peope connect. It's incredible.

It is easy to build a target list and then just chip away at it each day automatically. It also automatically stops me from doing too much and raising flags with LinkedIn. I am sending 100 connecrtions a day and having a success rate of >30%

The ability to easily manage and export to a mass mailing system. It would also be really handy if all of the contacts data fields available from LinkedIn were grabbed - Phone number etc where available.

As a recruiter, it is very important for me to be able to send a large number of messages or add many specific contacts. It helped me a lot in achieving a higher volume of sent messages, which improved my candidate sourcing process. It is very easy to use, and that is very important

This tool helped me a lot in the growth of my LinkedIn network. It would be very useful to have personalization tools in message sending

it would be very useful to add search functions that LinkedIn free does not provide, as well as customization in the automation of sending messages

I like it a lot for a CRM especially the ease of use and automation when it comes to connected and sending messages on LinkdIn. A good part of my business comes from LinkdIn and this software cuts my time in half!

Simplicity and automation is key is what makes this software work great.

Maximum 1000 searches not a fan about that. It should be unlimited because I have over 10k followers.

Software is great. Whoever is not using it is wasting time.

Works best when you use it with a friendly approach versus being the annoying sales person. I send 100 requests a day and get about 30 in return.

I wish there was way that the data would stay saved even after I've cleared the processed contacts. I have to delete those lists so that I can forward new contacts to other lists (without duplicating).

5 Star Software. Lots of Value, and an user-friendly interface.

I have used numerous LinkedIn tools to connect with users and send personalized messages but none of them come close to Octopus. I love how the interface acts as a CRM and stores who you've sent messages to and what the message says. It helps out tremendously with my outreach and automating repetitive tasks.

The flow of the automation could be a little more easily defined, but nonetheless, it works great!

Overall, very happy with our purchase. A simple, yet extremely effective automation tool.

Easy to use Intuitive outlay Fast and friendly customer support Most of all - it does exactly what it says it does... it enhances our LinkedIn presence very effectively. Saves TONNES of time.

The speed with which the messages are sent is a little slow. Faster processing would help.

Very easy to expand your connection network. Has the potential to help improve ability to stay better engaged with your first level connections.

The platform claims to be able to send a campaign of messages to groups of users. However, my team has not been able to get this ongoing scheduled feature to work properly. Would love to be able to speak with a human at Octopus about this issue but they only provide chat support.

Good, but it was a little deceptive with the billing.

It is a very user friendly tool once you understand the steps. Good training guides and contact.

Pricing you out at the year long subscription automatically and the free trial included more than what you get.

Very easy to use. Uncomplicated, and it doesn't take long.

Octopus is so easy to use, and, it saves me so much time. And, it is very affordable so I can use month after month.

I am only missing one feature... to withdraw old invitations. Maybe it's coming?

It is helping us to prospect faster and also with higher quality and monitoring, through the automation of the process and its better control.

It is very easy to use and very intuitive, and helps to automate the prospecting process

It would be nice to be able to see the number of users of a list prior to its sending in each campaign. You can also see from the Dashboard the messages or contacts that have answered the messages, click on the number of replies and see the names and surnames from there to be able to move them to other campaigns. It would also be nice to be able to choose users who have not replied to connections or messages and to be able to move them one step back in the campaigns or in the funnel.

I do lead generation, so for me is important to have the possibility to send to many people in a time a unique message in some situations.

The product is very clear and easy to use. Moreover help me to fill my DB very quickly.

I think if it would be better for me if the selection of the leads is more specific and with more options (ex. research botton).

Very positiv!

The fact that it can help me do tasks (sending personalized invitations) automatically so that I can do other productive tasks.

It´s a bit tricky to set up flows, I would like to set up a flow that first sends invitations, the waits a couple of days, then sends a message and so on...

Octopus is a vital bit of kit when resourcing for candidates. It allows me to reach out to a very specific group of individuals in a quicker, more efficient way whilst allowing me to get on with other tasks. Furthermore, it allows me to manage my responses on LinkedIn far more efficiently than I could via the native messaging app.

Sometimes, connecting the connect message with the follow up messages can be a bit fiddly but is generally quite easy once you’ve figured it out.

before Octopus I used to add manual connection and follow up one by one. Octopus made my life very easy I can do 8hrs tasks within 30minutes now. Thanks, this is an amazing CRM/software and highly recommended to all colleagues and friens.

Dripping and Funnel features which is an amazing option it has.

Visit page which I didn't use honestly but yeah I didnt have good knowledge about this feature. I guess, i need to learn it might have good response.
