Reviews & Comments of Octopus - All-in-One LinkedIn Automation chrome extension

This is an awesome tool with a GREAT support team! I really recommend it for every marketer and sales rep who would like to boost their performance with minimal effort.

well done

So I downloaded this extension to use free trial for the first time today. By the time I added 121 connections, I got a warning from LinkedIn that I added too many people. I stopped adding people and I logged back in, and LinkedIn banned my account. I used to have 2000+ connections and they are now all gone in one night because of this tool. Avoid using this tool if you don't want to get banned.

Octopus CRM is a great tool, along with LinkedIn Sales Navigator for expanding your connections, sending messages and generally building your audience. It's easy to use (watch ALL the training vids - they spell it out) and very effective. I recommend this plug-in to anyone trying to build their LI audience with a view to building a business.

good app

I highly recommend Octopus. It's: - easy to use, - helpful, - worth the money The customer support is very responsive and understanding (I did a couple mistakes by not being attentive, but all was solved very quickly)

Great Tool, greatest customer service. Shoutout to Anthony and Ioanna.

An all-in-one integration with Linkedin that works seamlessly. Love it!!

I just started using Octapus. It was introduced to me by a friend. I contacted Customer Service and I was informed that I have to use the referral link. I was informed that I had to use the referral link. This is something Octapus should look into. We, customers, do not know how your system works. When I upgraded my free trial, and feel very unhappy that my friend couldn't get the referral commission. I do subscribe to other online products and there is a field for me to fill up my referrer's name. Otherwise, the program so far works well for me Another feed back, please conduct online training on how to help us, your clients, so that we can optimise the use of Octopus.

My customers have been delighted with consistent Octopus campaign results! I highly recommend Octopus if you are looking for a 3rd Party LinkedIn Marketing Application.

Overall it is a very good time saving and productive tool in my view. It is quite intuitive and I feel it is reasonably priced.

Just started to use the tool, so far it is Ok, but I had issues with the payment and also with sending connection request. Might have to look into the tool more deep before writing this review. The support is very fast I get replies for my questions within minutes so it is really great.

Simple to use but bought to mass send emails and bypass Linked in Limits which I keep Maxing out - Looking to structured approach will subscribe unlimited package on a month trial and analyse the results ROI at the end

Just got Octopus and think it's great value for the price. I've used 2 other LinkedIn automation tools and this offers almost the same level of UX as another one that's at least a $1500 onboarding... It's also very fast and intuitive. Looking forward to more sleepy lead gen!

Great plugin!

A huge timesaver for some organic marketing on LinkedIn. I would not recommend over using this too much because it impersonates you interacting on your LinkedIn profile, but it is a huge time saver! If you keep use it reasonably you can save hours worth of time (but I would do a little bit at a time)

Great product to reach out to professionals. has help me a lot. the support team is superb. turn around time is indeed less than 2 hours and sometimes even less than an hour. Unlimited plan should have unlimited email credits too.

The concept is great and I have been deep diving into it since I got it. It would be nice if there was a scheduling option but I haven't seen one yet. My feeling is, if you get one job, sale, partnership, etc. by using Octopus with LinkedIn, then the fee is more than worth it.

OctopusCRM is a real discovery for me! It actually is the tool that I, as a sales professional, missed for years! I cannot miss it ever again :-)

It has worked! We are getting a lot more connections!

Outstanding automation tool - saves time, boosts leadgen and gives a max possible outcome = conversion 9%

Just started with Octopus CRM (in my first 10 days). It increased the hits on my profile by 343% in the first week. I hit my weekly limit with LI, and got a warning from OCRM. Defining your personal campaign is a little tricky, but once you understand what you want, linking is pretty simple. Watch the videos, very helpful. Tech support is very responsive and helpful.

Very usefull and effective tool: 116 new connections and 6 SQL only in 2 weeks using only one LI account. Pros: - easy and fast to master the tool, in-depth tutorial; - perfect and friendly support team answering in just 1-2 hours; - free trial long enough to try all the features; - reasonable price in comparison to competitors. Cons: - price of $25/month is still a bit high, $10-15 would be much more comfortable; - several features are not available: likes, time interval between actions in compaign f.e.

I'm not a recruiter, but a job seeker. I had heard about automated business tools for LinkedIn, but I had a thought: what if I could automate the tedious tasks of mining LinkedIn for recruiter information, contacting them one by one, etc? So, as an experiment, I added the Octopus extension for the trial period. Within 3 DAYS I had increased my profile views by 445% and received about a dozen connection requests!! Octopus is really easy to use and extremely powerful. I can't speak to the recruiter use case, but for job seekers, this is a hack you definitely need to take advantage of!

Amazing app, makes it so easy to make personalized batch actions , and the design is very soft and easy on the eyes which is a great bonus!

Octopus is great, really does what it says on the tin. It's reliable and easy to use. In terms of future features, I really would love the ability to slightly amend my message based on data from the recipient's Linkedin i.e. including a different block of text dependant upon whether their current role contains the word "Senior" or "Junior"

Octopus CRM is an absolute must have for Linkedin outreach and community building. Very quick to learn and then even quicker (<5 mins per campaign) to setup and let the software do all the heavy lifting for you each day.

I have used OctopusCRM to generate connections and leads on LinkedIn for a few years now. It is easy to use, the learning curve is super quick (you can be up and running within 15 minutes). This extension helped me look like a rockstar in the office I worked in and is now allowing me to build my own business, which is awesome. I like that I can do group connections, messages, and endorsing, I also like how it allows me to visit their profiles as well. Support is quick to response and easy to work with, and they genuinely want to know how they can improve the software. The only gripe I have is the price, this extension should be $10/mth, not $25-$50. With that said, I recommend this app to anyone looking to get more leads/connections out of their LinkedIn.

It is valuable and practical, and if they add automated emails messages, that would be great.

Simple to use and effective!

As a paying user, I speak with first hand knowledge and one who has a long storied history of working with automation. What can I say, I absolutely LOVE this plugin / app. I'm several weeks into my first automated funnel and yielding conversions. Please note, I'm only in the infancy of my automation funnel and already getting results. There are lots of safety checks in place (sending too many weekly messages, views... etc...) and anyone can grasp the concept of this plugin/app in no time. All in all, I love this plugin / app and will continue to use this for a long time. My ONLY gripe is that when compared to other plugins, this is meat and potatoes of functionality. I do wish there were more tools. (Perhaps this is something they are working hard at behind the scenes?) Highly recommend this to anyone looking to grow their user base and drive sales. Reach out if you have any additional questions. Google @stojkovic_alex; you'll find me everywhere!

I did the whole process manually before I started this week with Octopus. It really saves me a lot of time and I saw many results after a day, so far so good.

Probably the worst tool on the market. First of all, it doesn't track the connections very well so you can't even tell engagement rate. Second, using OctopusCRM will get you banned/suspended from LinkedIn. No automation is allowed, even if you aren't doing in bulk. This used to work back in the day, but not anymore.

Great tool

New user to Octopus having never used anything of this nature before. I started my first campaign on Linkedin this week and have to say I found the set up and implementation easy. I have looked at other platforms but am pleased that I chose Octopus. To date I cannot fault it.

unethical business. it's recognized as a spam tool to LinkedIn, so get the block all the time. the customers support is rubbish, no response.

Wonderful software, saves loads of time, quite user friendly - simple!

Best in the market.

Easy to use. Great customer service. Saves time and money!

Very helpful support and some cool features. I look forward to future builds as well.

First few weeks in and the whole team are loving it. I am keen that they keep developing the ways in which we avoid 'LinkedIn Jail' which is clearly the risk for such a product. However, so far so good. The tool is easy to use, and saves sooo much time. I have found the team very responsive so far.

At face value, octopus seems complicated. But I intuitively started wtih my search and then once the contacts were in the CRM, I was able to integrate and send the message easily. The results I got were amazing. The system had no sooner finished sending out my messages and I immediately had a response, followed by a few more in quick succession.

I have wasted hours trying to get Octopus to work and cannot even get a home screen. Their customer service clearly does not have a human involved. Big waste of time.

We've just started using Octopus and it automates outreach - A lot!! We got licenses right away.

It is potentially a powerful tool when used in tandem with other utilities. But your output is proportional to the time you put in to learn and optimize the tool.

I have used many automation tool, Octopus is at some other level. One click all done for you. If you are new in Linkedin Prospecting- Octopus is what you need. Go for it.... Thank to support team as well.

Not exactly plug and play and I'm trying to get my personal account manager to connect with me but I haven't heard a thing from them. Seems pretty legit software though.

Great too and saves allot of time!

This is the greatest tool and it saves me hundreds of hours every month.

The learning curve for Octopus is so quick, that you can literally be up and running within less than an hour. It has cut down on the timeframe it was taking me to do everything manually on LinkedIn to about 1/3 or less of the time. The funnels are so easy to put together and then like everything else, you just have to get into the habit of jumping into it for a just a few minutes each day. Getting appointments and sales opportunities from LinkedIn has never been easier.

Very good option. Pros: - Pricing is manageable - Seems to be able to do some automation - Definitely helping us to reach out to a lot more connections - The system, once understood, can be set up and replicated for other clients Cons: - You still need to open a campaign manually to kick start it. So you can't really completely automate it. This is the biggest issue I have with it - Once someone response, even by pressing the emoji that linkedin puts as suggestions, then the whole process is broken because it considers it as a "response" so the following steps are stopped. It becomes manual from there on. Some smart mechanism must be built so that it better understands what message is NOT a lead and what message can be ignored to move to the next step.

I was pessimistic, but found the tool easy to use and very legit in it's functionality preventing spammy tactics, but optimized strategic engagement.

Great Tool, would love to see the CRM features with auto import and tracking of what was sent and pulls a bit more data automagically to fill in my contact database.

Very useful and helpful team!

The best value for money you can find ! + Their customer service is GOLD ! Responsive and very helpful . 10/10 for me.

Once you get to know this product, it is easy to use. The YouTube "How To" videos are a huge help in learning how to use the software and set up sales funnels. Would be better if you could link multiple LinkedIn Accounts to one Octopus account.

still some feature missing but nice app. using it on regular basis.

Octopus is relative easy to use once you spend the time learning the system. The tutorial videos and the written information on their blog leaves no stone unturned when it come to explaining how the system works. Furthermore, the customer service is great mainly because they do respond in rapid fashion. I am impressed so far with the system and with the people involved who make it all work!

I love this application... It's easy, it's quick, and it's very affordable. One feature I would love to see is a "Remove Invitations" before certain dates :)

I absolutely love it. Very user friendly. The videos tell you everything you need to know. I have recommended it to everyone on my team.

Amazing bit of kit. If you are looking to simplify your cold out reach on LinkedIn then this is an unbelievable bit of software. The youtube videos are very informative and the responses I have had so far have been amazing. The Zapier integration works amazing which then allows me to use another piece of software to bulk email all of my qualified leads. I have saved 10's of hours if with this and I am only 2 weeks into using it. I can't wait to see what other features they bring out. Being able to manage multiple LinkedIn accounts from the dashboard would be an amazing feature as I would be able to run all of my other businesses out reach from one central dashboard.

Having NEVER used anything like this. . .it took me a little bit to wrap my head around how it works; but the customer service team as PHENOMENAL!! They did a great job providing specific direction and videos to help me learn how to use this tool to it's maximum potential!

Probably my secretary hates me , she was playing my role on Linkedin for 2-3 hours per day , and now a simple extension is doing the same with 2-3 clicks . Amazing .....

In general I'm not a big fan of automation because it often loses that personal sales touch required for more consultative sales, but when a platform (OctopusCRM) does it so well (easy for user to setup sales funnels) and at a great price it was too hard to pass up after trialing for Free for a week. I saw nearly immediate results and have already converted to leads into partnerships, which is what I'm using LinkedIn + Octopus for. I highly recommend the free trial and using it to it's full capability to determine if this product is right for you. It is right for me.

Excelent software for automate the sales process through LinkedIn

Good software at a price better than the competitors with very reliable customer support. I recommend it!

I love Octopus! It took me some time to really understand the interface and how the connections work in funnels but, once I figured it all out, it cut my LinkedIn time by 90%.

very helpful that I can update names of the customer in CRM. In Czech language you have to do so - thx.to this bulk messages don't seems like from a robot :)

So far so good.....GREAT software saves me at least an hour a day

Great Product, Great Service

Great app for helping you grow your networks on LinkedIn - Love the visit pages feature, as people see you visited and then request a connection from you. I am surprised how many ligit connections it is adding on a daily basis - Well worth the price as there is more bang per buck than any normal ad types for focused marketing.

Octopus is a great app. It does what it is promoted as doing. The only downside is, as in a lot of cases with apps, there is no person with whom to have a conversation. The support is good but, for those who ask a lot of questions, it would be better with one-on-one support.

Took a bit to understand, but once I got the hang of it, it really is quite powerful. Good stuff

Simple and powerful tools. Saves me plenty of time. I would like to see more CRM features soon so I can ditch the "other" CRM tool that I need to followup Octupus' leads ;)

Easy to use after wtaching tutorial video and the reactive support of Octopus team

Really good !!!!

Wonderful application. Using in 4 different accounts and so far we are getting great results. They have also a really good support.

Great product

The App does exactly what it says on the tin, i found the team to be very helpful and quick to responde, i honestly dont see how i will ever be able to function on LinkedIn without it.

This is a very helpful tool and after only one week has significantly increased my followers and engagement.

Wanna 10x your social capital? Use this.

Simple et efficace !

Great extension! It does what it says. Very helpfull to grow your linkedin netwrok and reach potential leads.

Great app, works very well, nice interface. It limits to import only 2500 users at a time (it would be nicer to have a little bit more) Improve your export capabilities, now it's a little complicated to export your contacts database

Better than Dux Soup

After trying several other automation tools this is the first and only that is both easy to use and reliable. Another great thing is the activity control feature they’ve recently released. Thanks so much!

This is a great automation tool. So easy to use.

Great replacement for Linked Helper….much easier to use

easy to use good features

It´s a very useful tool, it could be a little more intuitive, but it certanly does the job.It save me a lot of time. It is stable and even when the PC crashed, it resumed the work without any issue. The support service is great. The price is fair. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to take advantage of LinkedIn platform.

Really really great extension. As others have mentioned, it's a bit tough to understand the flow at first but once you get it, it's a huge timesaver. The biggest surprise - amazing technical support. Great job octo-team!

Really and really great tool. it works.

I had tried similar softwares but didn't think they had enough functionality. So I hesitated to try OctopusCRM. But someone I respect urged me to try it and showed me how she was getting great results. So I signed up for the free trial and liked everything everything about it. Yes, some of the features take a little practice. In fact, I couldn't get one of the automation functions to work. So I emailed the support department, got a quick, detailed response (not just a copy-and-paste answer) and I was able to correct my mistake and get it working. Now I'm using it every day and in less than a week have turned up some great leads. Hey, that's the way things are supposed to work, right?

After struggling with another LinkedIn app, i was turned onto Octopus. i've been using for a couple of weeks and am super happy with how easy and intuitive it is. and it works great. the only drawback is that it limits your number of messages (i'm doing workshop invites), and i have a large target audience (~2,500). But know they're fighting with LinkedIn to not get us blocked, which i suspect is problem with some apps. and the price is right.

Great automation tool! Highly recommended.

The owner of my company paid for a year subscription for this service. Worked great until i received a warning from linkedin that using the extension violates linkedin and i would risk having my account shut down. My boss received the same message on his account. Good program but not worth getting my account shut down.

I got the trial. It was great. Upgraded to the middle version. It then didn't show all the funnels and messages I had created in the trial. This is not what a new customer experience should be. Then I upgraded to the highest tier to see if I could use the funnel and messages I had already put a bunch of contacts in, and they double billed me (rather than charging the difference between the two plans, they charged me full price AGAIN for the higher tier despite upgrading on the same day). Then I filed support and they haven't gotten back to me. Overall a frustrating experience for what should otherwise be a great tool.

This is such a great tool. I've literally added over 100 connections in a single week. Octopus will give me close to 400 opportunities a month to speak to business professionals consistently and really automate my outreach! So pleased and you absolutely cannot beat the price! If you're not using this system you need to really consider it. Take the free trial and go boost your business. You have zero to lose because they don't require a credit card or commitment. Go crush it with, Octopus!

User friendly and fully automated.

Fantastic tool for LinkedIn! Makes messaging and new connections so much faster and easier, plus it's simple to use. Still getting my head around setting up the funnels but the videos are very helpful. Highly recommend.

Was skeptical at first, but after trying the software out then testing competitors, there's really no equal. Learning curve is a little steep, but it's robust once you get the hang of creating marketing funnels. I'm SUPER impressed with the assistance I receive from my account manager as a premium subscriber. Very quick and very thorough. Love this app!

Really good software that works amazingly well. The videos are helpful. I think it takes a little getting used to but works really well and I'm growing my connections on LinkedIn in a very targeted way day by day. Thanks for this!

Great tool! Octopus saves me about 10 hours/week!
