    Bananatag is very well suited to creating messages that are going to be used on a regular basis but don't require much in the way of changing or amending. It is also a very handy platform to track sending emails and the watermarking technology is very handy. As far as range of designs compared to something like Mailchimp it doesn't compare well.

    If you receive a notification that a prospect just read your email and you don't receive a response, you're then aware they've received it and your pitch or product is on their mind -- making a call later that day all the more effective.

    Pros
    Staffbase GmbH
    • Easy to use and install, particularly with Gmail for business.
    • It has a simple feedback system, if a client reads an email, you get an emailed read receipt telling you the time of them doing so.
    • It runs in the background, is virtually undetectable and will not hinder any communication in the slightest.

    • The e-mail tracking feature is easy to use and very handy.
    • The snippets feature are very good, have shortcuts to use and save a lot of time.
    • Having a CRM platform inside your Gmail/Gsuite account is great for improving the use in a day to day basis.

    • Streak should work better with Microsoft. Often you need to run your excel files through Sheets in order for them to be compatible.
    • Having a Dashboard rather than being a tab in your email might add to its usability.
    • Automated progression through the stages

    It's not super intuitive and can get messy more quickly than I think it should. Once you start collaborating with multiple people, it gets hard to keep track of things and doesn't have a great process for that type of teamwork.

    Support Rating
    Staffbase GmbH
    Have not really had many opportunities to use the support function but my experience was limited and a little bit clunky. It was not particularly responsive or helpful in terms of trying to resolve the query I was working on. I think the problem was solved by another member of the team that worked on designing their own template.

    They do a great job of explaining the product beforehand so support interaction is not needed as much.

    Bananatag is a free-standing application that plugs into your email service provider. As such, you do not need to be logged into another application to see the results or the real-time tracking of emails like you would with other email trackers. The free application is great if you just need to track a few outbound emails, but the paid plans offer a much more robust tracking service that would allow you to get any and all information you could desire from an email being tracked

    HubSpot was almost too freeform, I had a hard time grasping how it could work for me because there was so much that could be changed around. Streak was so easy to figure out without much time invested and I like that it just lives in my Gmail without needing to go to a separate website/login.

    Return on Investment
    Staffbase GmbH
    • It has sped up communication with the client because you have insight into how they are receiving and looking at material you have sent them.
    • It has not had any negative impact on the business or our operations.

    • It has helped me save time on reaching out to people thinking that they didn't get my first email.
    • It had the positive return on investment in the fact that the time I spend using Streak is much less than the time I would spend not using it.
    • Streak has taught me the importance and ease of mail merges, since nothing else out there was as seamless to start with.
