    I think Flockjay is valuable for any organization of any size. We've seen tremendous value, especially compared to legacy LMS & CMS platforms like Highspot and Showpad. I give any enablement professional my highest possible Flockjay recommendation.

    For businesses requiring advanced email marketing features like sophisticated automation, in-depth analytics, and extensive customization, VerticalResponse might fall short due to its limited featuresVerticalResponse is ideal for small businesses or freelancers who need a simple, straightforward email marketing tool. Its ease of use and basic features make it suitable for those without extensive technical expertise in email marketing

    Pros
    Flockjay
    • I can appreciate the level of detail available in the consumption reports to allow me to validate progress per learner
    • The platform is user-friendly, and most of my participants feel that it is simple to navigate to find the assets they are searching for in the just-in-time training
    • The exam functionality and visibility for my managers to partner with me in the onboarding experience is key.

    • I love the ease of list builder because we often times have a lot of data to import. It would be simply impossible without this tool, considering the amount of customer data we have for any one given email.
    • We really enjoy the ease of use of the HTML wizard as well. It helps even a novice be able to make a beautiful and attention grabbing email.
    • The dashboard is functional and easy to find when you need with a quick search.

    Cons
    Flockjay
    • The user interface has some navigation problems, especially within the learning paths where the flow is not always intuitive.
    • the autosave feature is not available when creating courses and learning paths, causing potential loss of work
    • integrations with major CRM platforms could be improved to ensure smoother synchronization of data

    • The type face is small. Not sure if this is to avoid overwhelming the reader, but I could see this being an issue with vision-impaired people or people who don't see small print well.
    • Sometimes I find it takes multiple clicks to make one simple change. I wish there was a search field at the top of the screen that allowed me to jump directly to a client's entry to update it there.

    Product is easy for both technical and non-technical people to use. A cost effective solution for sending out large number of messages. We can manage unsubscribes by individual accounts, so we can have multiple multiple accounts combined to maximize our buying power on credits. Effective API for sending/receiving data makes tool a valuable asset.

    Usability
    Flockjay
    It has an amazing UI. Also with a easy learning curve, it is pretty easy to understand and use. It took us a week to get used to the platform as such. I love how easy it is to streamline your tasks.

    I truly love this product. We are moving to an all-in-one system next year and my greatest fear in doing so is how much I will miss this platform. Although we are excited for things ahead, I will always keep Vertical Response in my back pocket incase I don't love the new platform as much

    At Vertical Response the help desk associates are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they enjoy what they do. And clearly, they are well trained because most times, the first point of contact is able to resolve any issue you may have. There have been very few times where an associate has needed to get back to me or escalate me to a supervisor

    Flockjay is the solutions we went with because it offers a complete package for our sales team. We felt that whilst the other solutions could help the team with training, we felt that Flockjay could help the team engage better due to the interactive learning and real-time feedback. Unlike SalesHood, Flockjay is more personalised and engaging. Also compared to Seismic or MindTickle, Flockjay’s focus on teamwork means we learn from each other, not just from the platform. Ease of use is also important, it keeps us engaged and learning all the time

    In addition to using Vertical Response personally I also manage email marketing for clients that already use Mailchimp, Robly and Constant Contact. While most of these platforms all offer similar features I choose Vertical Response first if the client does not have a platform in place. Typically I am also teaching the client how to use this tool and the Vertical Response visual interface is very easy for me to teach a client how to navigate and create their own campaigns.

    Return on Investment
    Flockjay
    • It seems to have positively impacted internal adoption of sales procedures.
    • MAU (monthly active users) has dropped precipitously in the customer community compared to our previous LMS. We can't get people to signup for the new platform.

    • We were able to blast out promotions our company was having to customers which created an increase in business.
    • By blasting out any service issues, it keeps our customers informed so that they are not wondering what is going on.
    • Allows us to store unsubscribed emails so that we are not constantly pestering people who do not want to be emailed.
