Pros

They have incredible customer service. There is a chat option right in your account, they are quick to reply, and always so kind and patient.
The whole system is so user friendly. Campaigns/emails are easy to write and design, and segments and tags are easy to manage.
I can also create incredibly good looking lead pages right in my account. They are quick to make because AC's templates are all really wonderful. Saves me a lot of time!

Cons

I wish that I could use my own IP and a third party tool like SendGrid to manage deliverability
Some of the contact search capabilities are lacking
Ability to add additional users for a small fee would be preferable to needing to upgrade for a substantial monthly additional fee

Flowlu needs to work on exporting data as pdf files or printable options.
It would be great to have [a] customer dashboard.
If live chat provided to [the] website will be great.

Likelihood to Renew

ActiveCampaign 9.1

Based on 9 answers

For our clients (Course creators, event hosts & managers, business leaders that have existing marketing in place and want to grow past 6 & 7 figures), we highly recommend ActiveCampaign, because:

Broad capabilities - ability to create individual emails to specific segments (the right people) at the right time (predictive sending for the greatest likelihood of conversion) and automated flows so that our clients are generating revenue
Integrations - We run ads for our clients, and ActiveCampaign automatically creates dynamic audiences for our social media platforms so that our ads are going to audiences that have just opened or clicked emails (or that follows up with people who haven't engaged). The number of programs that ActiveCampaign connects to makes the marketing a seamless experience for our clients.
Visualization of data - With the flow builder, you can see where people are in the process, what tags are being applied overall - makes it so much easier to create email marketing solutions for clients.
Reporting - The ability to see specific open, click, and conversion rates in one place.
Outstanding customer support - Having the ActiveCampaign team behind you makes it easy to recommend and use it for clients.

Flowlu 9.0

Based on 1 answer

I have found Flowlu while searching [for] a collaborative tool for a friend's non-profit organization. As I read the description and made a trial test, I fell in love with the tool. So we are definitely going to renew. Not only because the delivered solutions are great but also because Flowlu's roadmap seems very [promising].

Usability

ActiveCampaign 8.0

Based on 26 answers

Very easy to use. I only give it a 9 instead of 10 because it would be best if you have some marketing knowledge before you start using it. Even if it's just a basic understanding of terms and best practices. However, the chat support is great and they even offered to send me videos of them doing what I needed help with.

Flowlu 9.2

Based on 7 answers

Is there an ability for a custom on-boarding for a new member? I don’t know [because] I am using the software solo. But this is the one I can see that will happen in the future. What If I add another team, I don’t want to teach everything from ground up. Maybe that’s why there is KB? I don’t know. So at least have the onboarding questionnaire if we are a solo or a team, then based on the answer, certain apps will be turned off by default but users can always toggle them all on if they want so. Again, I am still learning the software so maybe these functionality is hidden somewhere there I just don’t know.

Reliability and Availability

ActiveCampaign 9.2

Based on 3 answers

I've never had ActiveCampaign down for maintenance. I'm sure they update things, but they always seem to manage to stay live. Also, I've had very few errors, if any. None come to mind. This might be to due to the fact I focus on building things as simply as possible, but I also believe it's due to the quality of the software.

Performance

ActiveCampaign 7.7

Based on 3 answers

ActiveCampaign works seamlessly with the other tools I use. It integrates directly with most. And if no direct integration is available, there is almost always one you can make using Zapier. I've yet to run into a technical error that prevented me from doing something I wanted to be able to do.

The chat is great and it’s pretty fast, I personally would like a phone agent at times to facilitate the process yet that’s just my preference; Again, the chat agents are quick, effective and do the actual work that support agents are hired to do. I’m happy with my subscription

I wrote to support with two small questions. There is a chat/mail function within the app that makes it easy to contact Flowlu. The answers from the support team came within a few hours and contained the information I needed to solve my problem. There was no need to ask again.

Implementation Rating

ActiveCampaign 7.7

Based on 5 answers

Very satisfied with our implementation in our professional medical practice, allowing us to be on top of client service, and not miss out on crucial information and insights. Marketing is often neglected in professional practices and ActiveCampaign solved this problem with aplomb.

Alternatives Considered

I've used many ESP and CRM software that TrustRadius does not have listed (such as Kartra, ConvertKit, etc.). ActiveCampaign beats all of this in price, user-friendly implementation, ability to easily create complex subscriber-responsive campaigns/automation, and more.

Trello is very nice, but Flowlu has more complete modules that can reduce the number of tools that we use to manage the business.

Scalability

ActiveCampaign 9.2

Based on 2 answers

I've tried several of the email services available today. ActiveCampaign makes it easy and fast to get set up. And they have some of the best email deliverability available today as well. That's really important when it comes to email marketing, because winding up in spam or promotion folders makes your email marketing efforts and uphill battle.

The ROI has been in my time. Its pretty easy to use and setup.
