Controllable email marketing software

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?

Unlike most email marketing software, this tool is a little intimidating until you become familiar with the system. When you need help, you can easily access it by chat, phone, email, video, and so on. Customer service teaches you how to succeed in email marketing.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Many functionalities are available, and I particularly like the option of separating subscribers into several categories. We have used ActiveCampaign to automate email messages to keep existing customers informed and to monitor how many of our emails got opened. ActiveCampaign is a fantastic solution with enough capabilities to meet most of our Basic-to-Medium requirements. I find the software easy to use and reasonably priced.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't particularly appreciate how a more significant number of our subscribers see our emails in their Promotional Inbox. Also, the email templates are relatively simple unless you buy the plus plan. The learning curve was steep in figuring out the automation features and creating unique automation that suited our particular needs.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

No matter your needs, this is the best email service out there. There are multiple applications for this product. It is scalable to accommodate the expansion of your company. I can automate many little back-end tasks I used to do by hand. It's mind-blowing, and I'd suggest it to anybody just starting a business.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

"Simple automation that simplifies my life"

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?

ActiveCampaign is better than other programs because it has an affordable price and many features.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

"Software that makes it easy to collaborate with others and meet deadlines. Because it's so simple to automate, Active Campaigns has become one of my favorite marketing tools. I don't have to worry about forgetting or scheduling a series of emails that will be sent out over a period of time. In addition, segmenting subscribers is a cinch. People who have previously bought may be excluded from receiving promotional emails, or emails can be sent depending on specified parameters.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I don't like about Active Campaigns is how difficult it is to set up the automation in the beginning. The process of creating a series of emails and segmenting my subscribers took me some time. Utilization of the program comes with a little learning curve as well. That was more of a problem for me in terms of time commitment, though. Even if I understand how automation works, I believe there is still a lot of ground to cover.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take the time to understand how to utilize it correctly.
