Albacross vs. Saleshandy

It's well-suited to small companies without a dedicated sales force. It helps collect, organize and analyze leads. Perhaps, it adds value to larger teams too, but it has certainly been a valuable addition to us early on in the business when build lead lists and client lists were more challenging. I'm not sure what the current pricing structure is, but it was good value for us at the time of purchase 2 years; pricing has not increased for us since then. So, again, for smaller teams or teams with a limited reach out budget, this may be a suitable option.

My first time contacting SalesHandy the person in live chat answered all of my questions and understood me. I was very happy. The second time the person didn't understand me at all. That's when I became aware this wasn't an American company. I asked for the same person I got the first time and we started e-mailing, but he clearly didn't read what I wrote on two occasions, so he wasn't addressing my questions. This started to waste my time and frustrate me. Then the e-mails stopped coming and I had to keep e-mailing again trying to get a response, until they finally stopped altogether. I was literally just about to sign up for a paid account when this all happened. I told them I was going to go to their competition, and they didn't care, they just ignored me.

• Track companies IP's who are visiting.
• Provides analytics about where they came from and what they did on your site.

• The email drip campaign execution is simple to use and allows emails to be sent in 60-90seconds intervals which is very important when sending a big number of emails.
• They have a very easy to understand customization fields that allow the user to view each individual email before sending to check for any potential errors.
• Good integration of templates into the campaign set-up field with just a few clicks. Don't need to copy and paste.

Incentivized

• It would be nice to have a direct link on the page that visitors have viewed, so I could quickly check out the site myself.
• It is hard to copy-paste the link on the viewed pages report to actually see which page has been viewed.
• A little complicated to use the whole software when you get started, no clear explanation of concepts.

• I am missing SalesHandy's integration with Box. Screen sharing and live presentation process can be made easier.

I assume (I still can't be 100% sure) that if they had cared about my business, it would have worked for what I needed it to do, which was track open e-mails and clicked links.

Due to me using the software for very long and their terrible customer service, this is why I rated them low. I did notice that when sending e-mails it does take a while for the e-mail to go through, but then the e-mail hits the inbox very quickly. Also, their site and live chat did have problems. I mentioned this to them and they eventually fixed the live chat, but then they ignored the site issues I had which is when I opened two tabs, one tab would show one thing, and the other tab an entirely different thing within my account. It was very confusing and wasted my time trying to figure out if what I had done actually saved.

They are in Sweden so getting a response back from them is slow and I think their team isn't that big.

More or less, Albacross is similar to their competitors but they have a great support, better data accuracy (subjective), and easy setup.
