"Clay has automated most of our workflow!"
What do you like best about Clay?
There's just so much to like about Clay. Here are the highlights for me:
1. A lot of integrations that automate our entire workflow
2. A lot of in-built features and tools for free such as Clay Company Search and People Search, Company URL verification etc.
3. Paid tools like Claygent Neon and Clay enrichment are great too
4. Allows you to create a custom waterfall for each task making the whole process tailored to your needs.
5. Can be cheaper than alternatives if used correctly for certain things like phone data enrichment using low credit options and APIs.
6. Customer Support is great and friendly.
I have been using it daily and has found it very useful. I can't imagine going back to what life was before Clay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Clay?
I don't dislike anything specifically, but few things can be definitely improved:
1. Ease of Use/Learning Curve: It can get very expensive if you don't know how to use it with API's and integrations. Creating the correct waterfall and using the correct API's can make it a game changer for your outbound.
2. Payment Transparency: This is common with most tools that they show pricing in terms of credits which can be straight forward if an action takes one credit but with different credit usage for different actions, I think it would be better to either show the cost of an action in dollars (mobile enrichment using a certain tool costs 2 credits so can be mentioned the ollar equivalent amount, or at least before an action is run, a pop-up showing the total cost in credits would give some idea). P.S. They say you'll get 3000 free credits to play around with Clay if used a referral link, but they don't mention that you'll only get those if you subscribe to a paid plan.
3. UI: The UI can be a bit complex for new users since you buy credits on a workspace level and not on account level. So if you use a referral link, create a workspace and then while subscribing to pro create a different workspace (can happen if you are new) in the same account, you'll not get your referral link credits unless you talk to CS. I prefer account level billing for all Workspaces.
4. Its ease of implementation can be improved as some options are tough to find. I think the earlier UI worked better than the newer one but that's just me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
