In the past, I have used Getresponse. I found it very handy for Affiliate Marketing but not good enough for Corporate Marketing. I then incorporated Benchmark Email into my arsenal because it is good enough for both Affiliate Marketing and Corporate Marketing. With the upgrade …

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 …

We used the free trial of many competitors, such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, etc. Basically, Benchmark Email provided the best value for the money. The fact that we could get some economy of scale on the extended contract as well as the introduction of split a/b testing …

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 …

I stated this plenty of times in my previous responses but we moved to Benchmark from Mad Mimi. Mad Mimi's feature set is extremely basic and only suited for start-ups or very small businesses. Benchmark provides enough customization to take the next step in your email …

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 …

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.

At the time of the decision, we anticipated a larger audience and a high potential cost of MailChimp. We also believed that Benchmark Email would be less complex and therefore quicker to implement and learn. Given the current needs and pricing, I believe MailChimp may be …

Benchmark is very good for sending business email for products and services and especially for sending white papers compared to the others. But it also depends on your requirements.

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 …

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.

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.

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 …

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 …
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.

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.
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.
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.
In the past, I have used Getresponse. I found it very handy for Affiliate Marketing but not good enough for Corporate Marketing. I then incorporated Benchmark Email into my arsenal because it is good enough for both Affiliate Marketing and Corporate Marketing. With the upgrade costs on Benchmark Email not sustainable to a growing entrepreneur like me, I had to get SENDIO. I am learning to use SENDIO and I am discovering it's very cost-effective apart from giving me unlimited space for my contact lists. While SENDIO is the best for bulk emailing, Benchmark Email remains the best for Corporate Emailing, though I am keeping all three software.
