Fragile Product Design Resulted in Lost Revenue

Likeliness to Recommend

2 /10

What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?

Cost was a factor, it's less expensive than HubSpot.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Email automations for new contacts allows them to get more information from us with no manual intervention.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Active Campaign has an extremely fragile design in their automations which caused my company to lose $10,000's in potential revenue. I created an online form, which website visiters can fill out to get more information (or a trial) from our company. This is a major source of high quality customer leads. By simply making a slight change of wording to a form option , the entire automation broke, which we did not realize for 6+ months. There was no warning and nothing in the user guide indicating a problem. Companies were requesting information from us and we were never notified because of the broken automation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I can no longer recommend AC because of the fragile design. If you are a small business relying on email automations, you are taking a risk with Active Campaign. The lost revenue due to AC would have easily paid for a competitor like Hub Spot. The pipeline feature is not very user friendly, and if you expect people to be in the system regularly, the slowness will frustrate user adoption. Be careful.

Pros

  • Transparent
  • Security Protects
  • Helps Innovate
  • Acts with Integrity

Cons

  • Less Reliable
  • Less Effective Service
  • Vendor Friendly Policies

While the pricing flexibility is an advantage, some users have found the pricing structure to be complex and may end up being more expensive as the number of contacts grows.
