FirstHive vs. SALESmanago

It is well suited for all B2B and B2C industries to manage customers data and execute inbound campaigns

I find SalesManago to be a good tool for email marketing and automation processes. They live chat service allows fast and direct communication with customers. Website personalisation (tools like pop-ups and browser notification) work fine but I'd like to have a bit more personalisation options to be avalaible to users.

• Data segmentation
• Data push without uploading to Facebook and Google ads platforms
• Inbound marketing campaigns execution without uploading our precious data into 3rd party platforms
• Email and SMS autiomation

• Segmentation - you can segment people in many ways (e.g using tags, rfm matrices, sales funnels, dynamic segments).
• Automation flows - using workflows, automation rules, and website automations you can automatically do marketing actions after a trigger and in specific conditions. You have a lot of events, conditions and actions
• Product Recommendations - this tool allow you to recommend products on your website. Maybe it's not quick to prepare it but the results at the end are awesome
• RFM Segmentation - this is a great tool to segment and reach people according to their RFM profile

• Loading time
• Ease of integration

• Their expansion into the US has not been very successful, and if you are a West Coast customer want training, be prepared to get up at 4 a.m.
• While their functionality is comparable to competing products there is nothing particularly unique to what they offer
• Their instructional literature was obviously not produced by people for who English is a first language and they are not particularly English proficient.

SALESmanago is a pretty big tool (with lots of features), but if you know the principles - everything is easy to find, and easy to understand. Of course there are some settings or funcionalities which needs to be updated but still using SALESmanago is totaly different experience than 5-6 years ago (in a good way)

FirstHive is the first software of its kind that I use. It was recommended to me by a colleague who told me he is very happy with it, but he uses it for professional and non-educational purposes (as is my case). Indeed, even at an educational level, it is software that works. It would be helpful to create an educational version with fewer features and a more affordable price.
