Chose BenchmarkONE
I have had more experience with Hatchbuck, and was introduced to it through someone who is quite familiar. My perspective is that for the money, Hatchbuck does all it needs to, and does it well. I'm sure there are comparable products, but this is the first one that I found …
Chose BenchmarkONE
I like Hatchbuck because they're a smaller company so they provide more personalized customer service.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Hatchbuck is my favorite. It's easy to use and it's budget-friendly. It's much more intuitive than SharpSpring or ActiveCampaign. Because of the price of the tool, it's definitely a serious competition to giants like HubSpot. This is a great choice for solopreneurs and smaller …
Chose BenchmarkONE
We really liked the unique mix of a CRM, an email marketing tool, and a sales funnel tool we found with Hatchbuck. Additionally, the software was easy enough to learn so that multiple team members were able to quickly get up and running using the system. Other tools we …
Chose BenchmarkONE
I use HubSpot Sales concurrently with Hatchbuck as it offers capabilities not included with Hatchbuck: email tracking not from the system, integration with Facebook advertising, website popups.

Hatchbuck was selected as an entry-level tool focusing on automation and CRM. Though …
Chose BenchmarkONE
For very basic CRM, email and marketing automation, Hatchbuck is a clear winner on feature set, price and ease of use. Lots of bells and whistles are great if you use them. But many of our clients don't want to learn, maintain and pay for that much technology. However, more …
Chose BenchmarkONE
I have tested three major competitors in the same field and Hatchbuck stands above them. I do not wish to mention them, but I can say that the visual appeal, intuitive nature, and ease of which I am learning their system is stellar. It takes a bit of time, but you can be up and …
Chose BenchmarkONE
It made a difference to me to have a live marketing person to assist me.
Chose BenchmarkONE
I probably reviewed seven or eight CRMs, most notably Salesforce and a host of others. Some didn't seem intuitive to use, some had poor customer service, and some had constraints that were a deal breaker. Salesforce, for example has a daily e-mail limit of 250 ... I send out as …
Chose BenchmarkONE
I don't have much experience with similar products at this point in time. Very little experience with Constant Contact and Mail Chimp. What I can tell though is Hatchbuck's features are far more advanced.
Chose BenchmarkONE
I've used Salesforce Group edition, but it was too robust for our team. Hatchbuck was more suited our company and our stage.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Best tool of it's kind in the market and most affordable by far!
Chose BenchmarkONE
Not well integrated with ACT! plus the email editing was very hard to use and limited.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Hatchbuck is in a class by itself.

Hubspot and Infusionsoft are awesome, but, there is too much to understand and layers of tools which sometimes end up taking up more time than the typical small business owner has to invest.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Cost wise, Hatchbuck is more expensive than Constant Contact, which it replaced. Feature wise, Hatchbuck provides more functionality and features than Constant Contact.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Microsoft Dynamics CRM was way too complicated and more [robust] than the needs of the company. Hatchbuck makes it easy to automate, segment, and deliver content. Microsoft Dynamics was extremely customizable but that came at both a financial cost and a productivity cost. No …
Chose BenchmarkONE
I used Constant Contact in the past. Hatchbuck has a much better CRM system and ways to track and segment customers.
Chose BenchmarkONE
I demo'd MailChimp. They seemed pretty simliar, but honestly I decided on Hatchbuck because the customer service and special attention they provided during the demo stage.
Chose BenchmarkONE
Hatchbuck has much better integration and segmentation features. It easily allows me to send an email to any segment of my list without having duplicate addresses across multiple lists. Any email creation tasks are also much easier.
Chose BenchmarkONE
We've used Salesforce and Streak. Hatchbuck is vastly more robust than Streak and not nearly as burdensomely complicated as Salesforce. It's the perfect solution for a small business.
Chose BenchmarkONE
We made the decision to purchase hatchbuck back in November and couldn't be happier with the product! We are able to manage all aspects of the customer experience and can do it from any computer in any country in the world. This is a great product for any small to medium size …

Hatchbuck is great for small to mid size businesses that are really looking to keep track of their progress with their sales leads as well as their existing customers, as well as tracking the activity their customers are taking from their communications, and automate their sales and marketing funnel as much as possible. We are a SaaS company (software as a service), with sales that range from teeny tiny to very big fish so it's been an easy tool to work with to make sure we are communicating with clients based on their size and needs.

Cons
BenchmarkONE
  • They may be a little behind the curve when it comes to some of the advanced features, such as integrating various calendars and e-mail clients.
  • I would like to see them more integrated with social media platforms, such as keeping track of social media activity and adding more platforms that they track within a record.
  • The onboarding process was a bit bumpy and took much longer than expected.

In case you can't tell, we are in love with Hatchbuck software. Could it be improved? Of course it could, but, based on our current needs, and the needs of our existing and targeted clients so far, Hatchbuck presents the best fit option available. As a partner we are looking to grow with Hacthbuck into the future.

Usability

Hatchbuck offers on-boarding, training, and has a suite of videos, which makes it super easy to get started. As with any software that is the key. Have a plan, stay focused, and get started. Once, you begin to play with Hatchbuck you will see that it is very user friendly.

Reliability and Availability
BenchmarkONE
There has never been any downtime for Hatchbuck, which is very reassuring for me as I market and recruit strenuously for the University at Albany's executive Weekend MBA Program. Hatchbuck team members have also been available when I have reached out to them with questions or issues. With one exception, where one of my e-mails became lost in the Internet "black hole," they have gotten back to me in very timely fashion!

I always get a response within 24 hours, unless I ask on a weekend. The team seems to work together to resolve my issues, answer my questions, and update me on changes. In fact, they have even connected [with] me to ask how they can improve the Hatchbuck software and their service. This is why I love them so much.
