I;ve used Phantombuster in the last 2 businesses as a head of marketing/growth and now in my own agency business for clients to build LinkedIn presence. Easy, reliable and love that they keep adding new features like multiple LI accounts and PB chrome extension. **What do you dislike about PhantomBuster?** It's the easiest tool to use out there right now, I'd love to be able to use it more but obv has to work within the confines of LinkedIn etc. **What problems is PhantomBuster solving and how is that benefiting you?** Growing LinkedIn presence, reaching relevant ICP on LI. Growing company page. Helping build thought leadership and awareness for clients. ### 2.

It was working perfectly, so I decided to purchase the annual subscription. The whole thing just died not long after I signed up, and just would not work. I was emailing daily, but got only the same response: "our customer care team will get back to you soon". This was utterly unnacceptable. I needed to know timeframes. I needed to know what is going on. I have since change to Texau and have had a much better experience, but Phantombuster did refund my entire annual invoice so that was good. **What problems is PhantomBuster solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automation of parts of a sales engagement flow ### 4. great product, simple to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Owen O. | Head of Growth, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2025 **What do you like best about PhantomBuster?** It covers nearly everything I could ever want to automate on social.

Great platform for automating outreach **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2024 **What do you like best about PhantomBuster?** I love that it automates my tasks and clearly reports on the progress and success of the automation. I have implemented PhantomBuster at two companies now. The first one, I used Phantombuster to convert a list of companies that visited our website to relevant employees at those companies, reach out to them on LinkedIn and refer them back to our site. In just the 30-day trial, this automation generated a lead that turned into a client, proving a 5000% ROI. (software sales, hence the high ROI for one sale) I'm using PhantomBuster with my current company to reach out to trade show attendees on LinkedIn prior to the show to encourage them to visit our booth or schedule a meeting in advance of the show. It has saved me significant man hours and has definitely increased booth traffic. **What do you dislike about PhantomBuster?** I think Phantombuster is pretty great. My colleagues did find a competing software called La Growth Machine that we're going to look into implementing which may take over our current use for PhantomBuster. The difference between the two for our use case is that La Growth Machine allows you to respond to emails and social media replies from automations within the platform. This helps when using multiple different LinkedIn accounts. I can see all my replies as well as all the replies my coworkers are getting from outreach from automations running through her profile. **What problems is PhantomBuster solving and how is that benefiting you?** LinkedIn outreach and retargeting website visitors ### 14.
