Delivra vs. Marketo Sales Connect

As far as I know, Delivra is the only email marketing software that allows for every instance of a personalized email to be bcc'ed to an internal email address. This is a niche feature, but can be very useful for companies that need detailed records of all client communication for posterity.

We are solving our small sales team problem. I am the only SDR in the company and Tout helps me manage, send and follow up with many of my leads automatically. Tout is more focused on “success or failure” of emails than Yesware is. They are going in different directions – as you can see that they’ll probably have some features from one another.

• User-friendly - once I understood the platform better, it took only a few minutes for me to prepare the reminder based on the survey invitation.
• Trustworthy - I could trust that my emails were sent successfully.
• Had the necessary tools - I only used a few of the features, but the ones I did use were easy to implement for the emails.

Incentivized

• Track leads opening emails and clicking links. We could easily see if a lead forwarded an email to a large group of people for instance, because the stats would show it.
• Connect our email and CRM to log email activities onto Leads and Contacts.
• Keep users inside of our email system instead of copying and pasting email templates from multiple places.

Incentivized

• The contact database is not easy to navigate and we are limited by the number of contact categories we can create, and the ones we can delete. When personalizing emails it is hard to see past all the unneeded database properties to find the ones I want to include.
• Every time I log in from https://www.delivra.com/ it opens a second window with the app and leaves the first window. It should go directly to the app in the same window.
• Within the app, you can't open links in new tabs for easy comparison between different files/versions. It would be nice to have one email open and be able to easily open a different draft "in a new tab" without having to open a new window, log in again, and navigate to the needed file.

• Reporting is clunky and challenging to use at times. They were recently purchased by Marketo, so I'm hopeful that Marketo will be able to address some of these concerns.
• The ToutApp interface is not the most intuitive and does not provide a deeper understanding/analysis of the data.
• The ToutApp integration with Outlook has created intermittent problems in usability/access.

It was tough to reach their support team. On average, it would take over 24 hours to get a response. Agents would ask us to perform repetitive tasks and take lots of screenshots instead of looking at our system and helping us fix issues.

I had the ability to manually suppress who I wanted to send the email to, as well as individually send a link to members/customers without depending on Qualtrics ability to "send to non-survey respondents."

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was nowhere near as dynamic as the other listed tools that I mentioned. There was not any Sequence or Cadence you could follow. It was missing dynamic fields. A bit cumbersome. The other tools had much prettier interfaces too.

Incentivized

• Delivra has been well suited to the needs of a particular client, and allowed for campaigns to be executed in line with their needs.
• Delivra is another tool in our company's email marketing/marketing automation toolbox that can be used when needed or at a different price point from other platforms.
• Overall, we haven't widely deployed Delivra.

Incentivized

• It's enabled more efficiency for our SDR team to track and monitor emails.
• Increased our ability to better target prospects as we learned more about their behaviors.
• The automation tools for email, and the ability to get glimpses into how that impacted pipeline development, were worth the cost.
