    EngageBay Inc.
    I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from Marketo or Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

    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.

    GetResponse
    • 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 the whole thing feels 5+ years outdated.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    • The entire UI feels similarly outdated and slow--just seems like GetResponse hasn't kept up with the curve of the market in terms of performance or aesthetics.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

    Usability
    EngageBay Inc.
    EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

    EngageBay Inc.
    Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.

    Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

    Alternatives Considered
    EngageBay Inc.
    Salesforce and Marketo are the strongest CRM products out there in the space. The drawback they have is that they are immensely expensive and complex to set-up / use. Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with Pardot. EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    EngageBay Inc.
    • Improved lead management and helped build lead data by 4-5x in size
    • Helped improve investor base with 100-150% growth in investors by year 1
    • Generated dozens of calendar invites to call potential investors in first year

    • 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.
