Contactability
Contactability is really good for teams that are trying to branch out to an untapped market space. Especially those that are trying to disrupt the health insurance scene. This helps them get their foot in the door in the area and their name out in the community. The customer service representatives could be more responsive.

Pros
Contactability
  • The software reporting system is really clean and works well and they are good at sending you leads.
  • Their customer service is also willing to work with you and they really tried to help me improve our ROI.
  • Since using Contactability our workflow is changing. We now only pick up the phone when someone is interested in our services. The prescreening is all handled and we have control over the flow, what is said. Even when we're out of the office we can log in from anywhere and see what's happening with our leads and those missed calls get scheduled for us automatically.

PipelineDeals
  • Flexibility: It provides the flexibility to set it up how you want to use it. Customization is beyond what you probably want or need.
  • Reporting: We were able to setup all types of reporting and tracking.
  • Ease of Use: While the platform was powerful, it was always easy to use.

Cons
Contactability
  • Call the toll-free customer service number and you are transferred to a blank voicemail, with an electronic repeat of the phone number.
  • The software training videos were confusing to non technical users.
  • We encountered bugs with the use of Windows 10. Some of the futures were bugged.

  • I wouldn't say no areas for improvement exist, but I will say that PipelineDeals takes customer input, shared product roadmap, and supports what they have very nicely. What they provide works out-of-the-box. Improvements can always be made with respect to pre-packaged integration with 3rd party services/solutions, and with extended attributes, but you also want to avoid something that attempts to boil the ocean.

If we can integrate and easily export and clean all of our data such that it can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. outreach to guests, sending out newsletters to subscribers, doing research and tracking progress, we will definitely renew

Alternatives Considered
Contactability
Contactability does a pretty decent job as it is very user-friendly and puts us in contact with our prospective clients. What they could improve on that Insightly does well is training and support. This could be due to the size of the company or their prioritization of resources. Overall we enjoyed Contactability better than Insightly.

PipelineDeals
The cost is much better and it is much easier to use. Salesforce was way too robust and I never want to hire a consultant to set up a CRM. PipelineDeals CRM has the best visibility of our sales efforts.

Return on Investment
Contactability
  • We got our people to become more open minded in trying new software and exploring options for automation.
  • Users got discouraged when the software did not work as it was supposed to and customer service was not there too help.
  • Once used correctly, we did have a large increase in the number of new clients that our office handled.
