Platform & Infrastructure
Comparison of Platform & Infrastructure features of Closely and GetResponse
Closing rates increase up to 25% when using Closely’s automated outreach platform. Closely gives you the ability to reach out to the exact people who are interested in your offer. You can set up the entire campaign, and then Closely will take over everything else. You can choose your message and deliver it using email or text. Sometimes the interface can be a little slow. I would suggest doing some testing before committing to this tool. Closely saves time, which is important to me. I have been using it for about a month now, and I have noticed that my close rate has increased by 25%. I am able to focus on building my list instead of doing the tedious task of emailing people.

GetResponse is perfect for small to medium businesses. For a large business, it certainly could be used in some areas. One example would be for clients that are looking to get started with email marketing. I would not expect it to run a business as Salesforce or Keep. However, GetResponse is robust enough and has a solid suite of tools that would serve a medium or small business quite well. And of course, if a company is just looking for an email marketing solution GetResponse would be ideal. And to go even further, depending on the level of service you use, GetResponse has the potential to do things you might have been using separate tools for. Building funnels, the ability to host webinars, building landing pages. It's all there and it is priced very well.

Email creation—A simple interface and a variety of tools make it easy to create very attractive emails quickly.
List building—GetResponse is ideal for setting-up and using any number of segmented lists/
Forms and landing pages—These tools are also fairly strong, however, GetResponse (ironically) does not provide responsive forms for mobile, which I would think would be an urgent problem. They have so far not addressed it.
Customer support—Customer support via chat and email is strong. It's disappointing the company has pulled the plug on live phone-in support.

The email editor is kind of a nightmare. Elements don't move or behave how you'd expect, the font choices are limited and pretty lame, adding new elements is difficult or often impossible... the whole thing feels 5+ years outdated. Buggy, slow, and extremely limited in functionality.
The entire UI feels similarly outdated and slow--just seems like GetResponse hasn't kept up with the curve of the market in terms of performance or aesthetics.

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

Not the top of the heap and certainly far from the bottom. GR is arguably one of the best solutions for Home based or small shops. It is out of the box whereas some of the others are not as complete or more difficult to unpack. It lacks some features but over-delivers on others.

Only negative. They cleaned our entire contact list.
We had to start over with Get Response. Now that they have forcefully freed us, we'll be redownloading our actual customer and prospect list from our CRM.
They will not refund us. We paid for a year and they gave us 5 months. So we are also out $5,000.
