EngageBay vs. Streak

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.

If you receive a notification that a prospect just read your email and you don't receive a response, you're then aware they've received it and your pitch or product is on their mind -- making a call later that day all the more effective.

• The e-mail tracking feature is easy to use and very handy.
• The snippets feature are very good, have shortcuts to use and save a lot of time.
• Having a CRM platform inside your Gmail/Gsuite account is great for improving the use in a day to day basis.

• Streak should work better with Microsoft. Often you need to run your excel files through Sheets in order for them to be compatible.
• Having a Dashboard rather than being a tab in your email might add to its usability.
• Automated progression through the stages

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.

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.

They do a great job of explaining the product beforehand so support interaction is not needed as much.

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.

HubSpot was almost too freeform, I had a hard time grasping how it could work for me because there was so much that could be changed around. Streak was so easy to figure out without much time invested and I like that it just lives in my Gmail without needing to go to a separate website/login.

• 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

• It has helped me save time on reaching out to people thinking that they didn't get my first email.
• It had the positive return on investment in the fact that the time I spend using Streak is much less than the time I would spend not using it.
• Streak has taught me the importance and ease of mail merges, since nothing else out there was as seamless to start with.
