Best in Class Service for Email Campaigns
It has streamlined email tracking for overall performance metrics for our sales ops team, and for me personally it has been a very user-friendly service that keeps me on track and allows me to focus on my core responsibilities and not administrative tasks.
PROSWorking in sales for 8+ years, I've used several services at different companies and I have found Groove to be the easiest and most efficient for tracking and sending email campaigns. I also really like the calendar/scheduler link format which works great for booking meetings on short notice.
CONSI have not had any issues in the past 2 years using the service

Easy Quick Scheduling
Very good.
PROSI use the "Book A Meeting WIth Me" features daily to eliminate the typical back and forth associated with trying to find a demo time with my prospects. Rather than "what day and time will be best for you to have a call" followed by "is 10:30 am or 1:30 pm better", etc. Instead, I simply use groove to add a link to my email where they can see my availability and book an appointment when it's convenient for both of us. In addition, if I need another team member on the call I can add them to the invite and Groove will coordinate our schedules and only offer my prospect times where both of us are available. It eliminates all the back and worth and as a software company helps us look even more cutting edge.
CONSThe only complaint I would have is when I have it turned on in my gmail it covers up a portion of my email window where attachement typically show up. This leaves me guessing whether the attachement is there or requires me to close the Groove tool bar so i can see the attachment.

Groove Not Helpful For Mass Sales Emailing
It is very helpful knowing if companies or specific individuals are continuously opening my emails.
PROSI like seeing views in real time which include location, hyperlink, and name.
CONSWhen I send similar emails to employees of the same company, it groups them all together by the first person contacted, thus I am not able to understand which specific individuals are opening my emails.

Groove is the best sales representation tool
We set up Groove to receive and send emails, integrate with Salesforce, schedule meetings and more from our sales team, CS and AM. We needed Groove to keep our trusted CRM in line with being the best team we could put together, eliminating admin time and being as accurate as possible with all our reps. Groove allowed us to save a lot of time with simple tasks and administrative tasks.
PROSGroove has allowed us to measure the interest of each potential client so that we can filter it to the area it should go through the email tracker it has. It has helped us a lot to organize the space in one place without having to resort to external software. Client organization is paramount with Groove as it also allowed us to organize conversation tracks, email templates and automate them right away. Groove as a streaming feature is amazing. We were able to efficiently and automatically send many emails, as well as forward emails so that potential customers can be aware of the original emails being sent. Groove saved us a lot of time and money by making it easy for any rep to use campaigns within Groove without having to have extensive knowledge of Groove.
CONSAt first it is quite confusing to configure Groove, there is a need for tutorials or some instructions that are clear enough at the time of initial configuration. It is also necessary to automate the sending of SMS and to add a voice command to activate voice messages within the platform.

Solid tool
Overall the software always me to do my job diligently and effectively. I can accomplish so much more in a day because of Groove.
PROSThe best part is the flows themself. This has been the easiest tool I've used to follow my outreach to prospects. This takes away from having notes all over the desk and you can come right into work and get your day going. Also, there is easy access to share flows with others and keep information in one place.
CONSFew things - from time to time the tool will not respond and will require you to log out and maybe even remove the shortcut on Google Chrome before it starts working again. Also, when you time emails to go out, you are not allowed to go and review that message before the send time. The only option you have is to just delete the email.

Great Tool
I have't had any issues with Groove.
PROSI love the email tracking. It's always a plus to know when your email has been opened or read. I also love the fact that I can set a reminder on the actual email.
CONSI wish that we could send multiple personalized emails to clients. For example, I would like to say Good Morning Mr. or Mrs. XYZ but have the body of the email verbiage remain the same. There are times we need to send 20 emails to customers all at once but do not want to have all of the email addresses visible to other clients.

CONSI have no complaints about this software and would recommend it for any organization that uses Salesforce.

Why Groove Works For Me
Since I started using Groove, I now know when my emails are opened, so it makes for an easy follow-up, and I know how to handle the recipient. Works like a charm, every time.
PROSIts easy, and I don't have to waste a lot of time learning new things
CONSNothing to dislike. Its a perfect tracking system.

Groove is wonderful
Groove works seamlessly with gmail. I am able to create templates incredibly fast and implement a wonderful work flow. The analytics are extremely helpful to know what emails to use and how to refine them to create better open rates.
CONSThe only con is a positive because when there is an update, you have to refresh gmail. Nothing big, but sometimes annoying (they are just making it better).

Lifesaving Resource
Groove has made it easier to email students from my web browsers instead of their Salesforce page, allows students to put time on my calendar via online, which is a little less intimidating and allows them to have control over their schedule. For students, who I need to keep more accountable I can see when and how many times they opened it.
PROSGreat tool for logging items into Salesforce, an amazing tool to check when and where an email was opened. , allows students to book time directly on my calendar.
CONSI do not like some items in the groove sceduler, ex. use must always re name the meeting title even if it a preset one.

Groove's Email Manager & Tracking is Huge!
Overall Groove has been helpful - especially email tracking. The omnidialer is also a nice feature but I usually use my work provided cell phone so I can text with customers.
PROSMy favorite feature with Groove is it's ability to inform you if/when a customer has opened your email, if they engaged with it by clicking on links, and how recently they viewed it. This is really helpful when you have customers that are slow to respond or tough to get in touch with - as it allows you to make informed strategic decisions on next steps when an email isnt replied to within a reasonable period of time.
CONSI have had some issues with Groove not always sending my emails promptly - or I have sometimes needed to click send multiple times before it goes through. It's not a huge issue but I tend ot keep an eye on my outbox just to make sure everything has sent.

Groove saves my team time, and wasn't hard to learn
My experience with groove has been positive overall. Their sales team was not very pushy and they have been very proactive in ensuring our company adopts the program. Price point was 5/10.
PROSMy whole experience from procurement to implementation has been straightforward. The features do what they are expected to and weren't hard for my team to pick up and learn on their own. We have done a few training webinars but I'm seeing adoption and am able to iterate and change based on the needs of my market.
CONSI haven't used their dialer tool so I can't speak to this, but there is some inability to customize certain hard-coded metadata in their UI. For example, I am in the education space and we sell directly to schools. There are many George Washington Elementary Schools and when running certain reports I am unable to attach items to the account because I cannot sort by state or parent account in salesforce.
Reasons for switching to Groove
My team had complaints about SF inbox and we didn't have a great SF rep.

Groove is easy!
Very positive as it helps me with email tracking and good templates to work into follow-ups and conversation-starting.
PROSThe most impactful features are: -e-mail tracking -creating flows and tracking flow activity -easy to use -seamless with salesforce
CONSAn aspect that can be improved is the navigation of automated emails. I found myself having a hard time figuring out how to stop a flow that has already started but the support team helped me navigate as the send was going out. It didn't stop all the emails but a good majority of them.

Groove filled in the gaps where Sales Force lapsed
Very positive. I have had at least 4 or 5 calls with Sage and he is always helpful and open to our feedback about how their features work with our dual sided market
PROSGroove helped our dual sided market place connect our data with our 2 different types of clients and allow us to use merge fields and email tracking. I dont know what I would do with out the live updates of our sales outreach.
CONSCVC import is difficult to use. The Flow interface is not always intuitive. I also wish the sales force reports were dynamic with flows. For example if the the report changes, the flow recipients' should change with the update.

Easy to Use and Great for Sales
My experience with them has been great. They're always ready and willing to help if I have a question, the set up was beyond easy and my team enjoys the ease of the features.
PROSI love the scheduler link and so does the sales team. It's great to be able to give the power to the customers to schedule their own demos/training on their own time.
CONSI don't like that it's focused so much on the contacts when not every company works off contacts. For example, we work off of accounts and contacts are just related to the account (in reference to how we use salesforce). I'd like to see the ability to attach things to multiple accounts at once.

Essential sales automation tool from a young company who is quick to adapt
Groove overall is a well thought out piece of software that has a bright future. The pricing is great for the value that you receive from the tool.
PROSGroove Flow is the best automation tool that our company has used - it is intuitive with a friendly UI and strong integration with SalesForce. Groove's support team is amazing and quick, and willing to put in user requests for new features.
CONSThere are still some features missing but more are being added everyday. I would love for more customized emails to be able to be created (some that could include image templates, etc.).
