ActiveCampaign vs Right On Interactive

Likelihood to Recommend

To me, the strongest value proposition of ActiveCampaign is the tagging system and it's robust automation offering. (I'm using the basic plan).The automation triggers are very robust and it allows for many solutions to email sequence needs. The tagging system is quick to use and offers the option to manage it all with one list.It also offers integration with many digital marketing platforms which makes it convenient to seamlessly transfer contact information from one place to another.The addition of basic landing page building is a plus but the slowness of the builder makes it a little tedious to use at times.

Right On Interactive is well suited if you need to bring in lots of data from numerous sources and be able to reference across tables to build a detailed segment. This also lends it to being more useful when a company has people that know data and have the time to dive deep into it to build lists. For teams without multiple people or dedicated people to use the system it can be cumbersome.

Cons

Email builder is good but could be improved - particularly for varying images sizes when side by side in a row. I recently found this challenging.
Email segmenting is also good as is, but could also be improved - e.g. if I want to schedule 3 emails to similar groups at the same time of day and exclude one group, I have to wait for one email to completely send before I can exclude the group. Logic could be applied to exclude those email addresses to allow me to draft and schedule them all at once.
I can't think of anything else I'd improve. it's generally very good.

The interface is improving in recent months but it still has a way to go to catch up to competitors.
The system seems to be reactionary when building out campaigns instead of more proactive. You can go through the entire campaign setup and forget to check one box at the very start and have to go all the way back to just pull in a piece of personalized data.
Could use more integrations with marketing softwares.

ActiveCampaign 9.1

Based on 17 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.

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.

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.

This might be the best part. The chat support lady offered to make a video to help me solve my problem. I worked in customer service for years and I've never done that, lol. So, if they're offering things like that, I can only imagine that they'd be able to handle most any issue you throw at them.

My web designer told me about Active Campaign and although I don't recall which platform I had before, I LOVE Active Campaign and its user friendliness. The transition was seamless and I've never had a problem with functionality or server failure.

Active Campaign provides so many features, and makes it easy for non-techies to maneuver around the site with ease. They capture information and put it in an easy-to-read format.

At this point, I don't think I'd ever use any other platform!

I went from 0-50 new emails on my list in a matter of weeks, due to the simplicity and functionality of the landing pages/forms.
Because of the great email tracking features, I was able to observe and shift my emails so that I went from a 15% open rate to a 50% open rate.

It saved us a bunch of money in getting a higher tier of SFDC. The workflows it allowed us to create (using their staff writing MySQL) saved us having to double our SFDC spend to get workflows.
It allowed us to easily send emails to people added into SFDC campaigns buy external sales staff which saved time from manual emails.
The time it took the marketing team to create the campaigns could've been faster.
