Act-On vs Sendinblue

• The designer tools, especially for emails, were often difficult to use. The formatting of the text would be all over the place and change / refuse to change at random. Moving boxes around was shifty and sometimes nearly impossible. It just wasn't customizeable enough. No "undo" functionality either.
• The only way to collect information expansively over time (there's a term Act-On uses for it, I can't recall) where it adds questions to the form each time a user fills it out, is if the person were to fill out the same form multiple times. I know this does happen for some websites/resources, but as a company that wanted to collect new information each time someone filled out any form, regardless of the resource or the URL, that was simply not an option, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. I know it's not really possible to track someone but if they filled out the first part of the form and then it added new questions to answer, and then they submitted and got through the gating, that would actually be helpful.
• There was no "trash can" of sorts in case you deleted something by mistake. This could be so stress-inducing if it was a major project. My coworker did this once, contacted Act-On, they couldn't even recover it.

• Sendinblue does not have search marketing features for search through website customers, which means that it is not good for tracking depending on the activity of our customers.
• Something very bad about Sendinblue is that it allows to communicate with customers only through emails, without offering any possibilities to automate and synchronize interactions through text messages, phone calls and even with smart messages that serve mostly for time saving by the user, as it happens to be in some similar services, which means that Sendinblue is maybe one of the mail marketing services with less multi-channel capabilities.
• It also does not automate much the synchronization functions with sales software which other services like mailjet, as they do not fully cover the need to do integrated email marketing campaigns once you are working with Sendinblue through its mailjet integration, and the sending data is not updated, so it is not possible to review the progress of the campaign from this platform.

• With the Automated Series, we were able to put in place campaigns that generated revenue that took no time to continue running once set up. This was a positive feature allowing employees to work on another project while the campaign ran on their own.

• ROI updates and follow-ups are fully possible through Sendinblue, which has its own ROI management system, so it is easy to identify the evolution of ROI versus past marketing campaigns and the level of ROI obtained from them.
• The marketing level of our business has managed to increase a lot, and with this increase, it has also improved the ROI percentage that we used to collect by covering smaller campaigns with less potential, which makes it very clear that Sendinblue is a service with good results.
