    Cirrus Insight
    For someone who uses both Gmail and Salesforce as part of their main role, this software is an invaluable connector for them both. Some of the features are also not Salesforce specific - such as the Meeting Scheduler, which has proved invaluable to me, and I would recommend to any Gmail user who frequently set up meetings (either internally or externally).

    It is perfect for artists and content creators. It is perfect for service based providers who want to house their potential leads. Entry level entrepreneurs can also benefit. It is not an all in one type of platform, but it is useful for list building and setting up automation. If you have less than 1K subscribers, this is the route to go until you need to use automation. Then, just feel free to upgrade.

    Pros
    Cirrus Insight
    • Log email to Salesforce. You click one button and it logs for you. This is easier than adding the BCC email address that Salesforce provides as a way to log email.
    • Track views and engagement on these emails. It's nice to know if the email was opened and if links were clicked.
    • Update quick fields in Salesforce directly from their inbox using Cirrus. This prevented reps from needing to click into Salesforce, wait for it to load, then update fields like the phone number or name.
    • If the rep did need to open Salesforce, Cirrus provides a quick button to navigate to the Lead/Contact/Opportunity page quickly.

    • Literally unlimited templates for designing the Email campaigns
    • Launching a landing page to capture leads (emails) quickly
    • Analytics to track almost everything including delivery rates gives the ability to optimise next/future campaigns accordingly
    • Newly launched journey or drip email campaigns is great as well

    Cons
    Cirrus Insight
    • Outlook for Mac could use some work as an add-on because it's hard to read sometimes on my laptop. It's not a sidebar, like the Windows functionality, so it's harder to read.
    • Doesn't always find an opportunity, even though I know it's in our Salesforce system.
    • Randomly shuts down and doesn't log in properly at times. I've had to remove and re-download more than once.

    • I think the dashboard could benefit form allowing more customization
    • The way you format email templates is pretty limited
    • The saved footer options seems glitchy. I can never get it to work right.

    Usability
    Cirrus Insight
    Very easy to use. Everything opens in a familiar interface right inside the google apps sidebar. It brings in salesforce records, so as long as you know google apps / gmail and salesforce you'll be all set. It's point and click.

    Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business.

    The plugin is installed inside your internet browser as an extension/add-on. It can be found in most add on stores and is easy to install. Usually just a few clicks. It handles authorization for you once you sign in, and then takes care of all the rest. It couldn't be easier to get working right out of the box. You're up in running in less than 5 minutes.

    Yesware regularly sent me alerts that my emails had been opened by someone who I hadn't sent them to, from locations they couldn't possibly have been. I also don't recall its Salesforce activity logging working as smoothly, though I last used Yesware more than 12 months ago so my memory isn't as fresh as it could be

    The other products I have used are not available on TrustRadius. I used ConvertKit before I used these other products because I need an all in one platform.
