Likelihood to Recommend I use 7Sheep for marketing as a sales person. This works well for me as a single user. I do not think I could use the software together with my colleagues. Although we could have separated lists the access rights might not fit our use case. It has a strong marketing focus and cannot replace a full CRM system.
Read full review It helps automate your marketing campaigns - send emails, does automated follow-up, creates leads directly into the CRM Helps you track the performance of your marketing campaign Its a cost-effective tool Their integration with salesforce and Hubspot is missing, will require you to do it manually Their email editor is quite basic with many must-have designing features missing Read full review Pros When preparing an event, 7Sheep takes care of pretty much everything you need to select, inform, and register participants, as well as prepare materials for the events, such as name badges and signature lists. We also use 7Sheep for reporting on communications activities. 7Sheep allows you to build simple or complex forms and questionnaires which we use both for events and independent surveys. The drag and drop HTML editor makes things look good without a lot of extra effort. Read full review The platform navigation is very smooth. Easily switch from CRM to Marketing Automation tool I like the featured when the leads goes directly into CRM if you have run the email campaign from the tool or anyone had subscribed to the blogs. Read full review Cons I know that they are working on a simpler way to send a test e-mail to yourself. This will streamline my activities as well and I look forward to that system change (which was suggested by a client. I have also suggested improvements which have been implemented.) I miss an easy unsubscribe feature (like you get in MailChimp). Overall, 7Sheep's system is more flexible (good) but that does make it more complex to split up (not so good). Setting up the SPF record in our DNS system was flexible and easy but for DKIM integration we had to contact the 7Sheep support. They do not check or show the necessary records in the tool. Customer service was great, though, so not a very big problem, just a bit of a nuisance. Read full review The email editor tool is very basic You cannot templatize your outreach with out-of-the-box designing Integrations with Salesforce and Hubspot is missing Read full review Likelihood to Renew The tool serves our needs and we like the user interface. The few times we contacted support they were super helpful and responsive. When we asked for more integrations they confirmed the integrations we need (e.g. Hipchat) for the near future.
Read full review Usability It is easy to use and if I do have a problem or question I receive an answer almost immediately.
Read full review Has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of email editor and lead management Out-of-the-box reporting features should also be made available Should provide integration with other software The user experience could be improved The tool can be made a little faster to operate Workflows, land page, and form options can be improved Read full review Support Rating With both chat and email support I have always had enough ways to get through to them! Their support is good, honest and most importantly supportive. They helped us set up and start using the tool when we got stuck. Moving from Mailchimp where there were some semantic lessons to learn and they took the time to help us get used to 7Sheep
Read full review The customer support team is active and reverts promptly to support requirements. However, most of the requirements takes a lot of time to get fixed.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I've mostly used survey monkey and google forms and doodle for small inexpensive jobs - anything more sophisticated always seemed to cost more than the actual fee I charge. 7sheep does everything they do, but it automates a lot of the processing, for a cost which is affordable and makes me more efficient - as I can use my subscription for different clients.
Read full review Great powerful tool and it's in the budget of our company and can perform all the tasks compared to others.
Read full review Return on Investment With the translation support we have translated forms into Spanish for our producers and this has been a really positive benefit for them as a partner. I am able to monitor interest in different products very easily and so re-target particular varieties to specific regions. Text message campaigns mean that we can directly engage: especially for physical meetings, tasting reminders and so forth. Read full review We just started using the tool. So far we are using it for initial purpose but looking at the platform it looks pretty good. Read full review ScreenShots
