360 Campaigner vs. ActiveDEMAND

360 Campaigner has simplistic marketing solutions, from email marketing, and automatic social media posting. Besides, 360 Campaigner has email delivery notifications and tracking, which helps the company to know when an audience has received an email. Furthermore, on lead management and nurturing, 360 Campaigner has played a critical role.

When choosing a marketing automation system, it is important to think of what exactly you want it to do. I think no matter what you are hoping to get out of a marketing automation platform, you can achieve it with ActiveDEMAND. It can be used for simple/basic marketing email sending and campaign execution or it can be used to develop a microsite, create sales and marketing kiosks, run multi-step campaigns, host protected assets or whatever you want to do with it. You can easily choose (or ignore) the modules and features to be as creative as you choose to be.

• 360 Campaigner has lead management, which helps in segmentation and lead nurturing.
• 360 Campaigner supports email marketing and delivery tracking.
• Mobile optimization is another marketing solution.

• Customer Service - this company EXCELS at customer service, always answering our questions and being helpful.
• Innovative Ideas - they stay on top of the trends in marketing, offer ways for us to incorporate these items into our efforts.
• Friendly staff - the staff at ActiveDEMAND are great to work with and are responsive to our needs.

• No mobile application for 360 Campaigner.
• Furthermore, 360 Campaigner requires online classes, to make the software more efficient.
• Lastly, the dashboard of 360 Campaigner is inflexible and not practical to use.

• Reporting - Though the reporting is extensive and very very good... I sometimes miss a simplified view of email opens/clicks/link clicks etc.
• Don't get me wrong, you can get to this data in ActiveDEMAND relatively easily, the default views through the campaign dashboard are just quite detailed (which some people would probably prefer) and I just don't think that we need that level of reporting on first glance. That being said, I do love the option to drill down and uncover the complex detailed data when i do want it (ActiveDEMAND is very good at this).
• One element of reporting that I would also like would be an event registrant report showing all registered people (this part exists) and their responses on the registration form they completed to register for the event. (These things would be dietary restrictions, industry, customized responses to other event related questions).
• I also wish the reports autorefreshed more frequently.
• ICS Files - Right now there are work arounds for loading an ICS file (Calendar meeting invite file) that can be accessed in campaign assets. I just wish this was more native to the tool.
• Archive Filing - Now, first of all, it is so amazing that ActiveDEMAND even has an archiving feature... I LOVE this. One small downside, however, is that the archiving cannot be organized using a folder structure or anything. I would like to be able to group my live events together, then group my webinars together etc.

360 Campaigner has a delivery tracking option, which helps us understand the moment an email has been received. Also, lead segmentation is a tool that helps us know our market, and keep the client's database. The drip email marketing is another feature that I see with 360 Campaigner. Lastly, 360 Campaigner can easily extract or dig the client's contacts from various sources.

Vertical Response wasn't a full marketing platform at the time when we used it, but it was clunky and the tech support wasn't easy to use. I like the one-on-one response we get from ActiveDemand and really being on a first name basis with the folks there
