Freshmarketer vs. Mautic (open source)

Zarget is perfect for marketing teams to see how visitor traffic is interacting with the content on a page.

Mautic is well suited for users who do not require a lot of maintenance on the technical areas and have only the general requirements of the email marketing sector. In case the users have more precise requirements and are more focussed on the quality and a proper quantitative analysis, Mautic would not be an ideal choice. In other words for small companies Mautic would be an idea choice where the budget is a constraint and the extent of use is low but in cases where budget is not really a constraint against the performance and quality, Mautic would not be an ideal choice.

• Ease of use - you really don't need much of a prior knowledge of testing to get started with Zarget.
• Fast setup and integrations - we were ready to go within a day. Same goes for integrations. All you need is a permission from an account owner and webmaster to place the code within the source code of the website.
• Good support - very responsive when something goes wrong.

• Mautic is very good at the tagging system.
• Mautic is very good at tracking website visitors. Visitors are first marked as unknown, however, once you get a signup Mautic automatically updates their profile.

• Zarget could break down information and reporting a bit better.
• Zarget could add video traffic of each user to their platform.

• Reporting can be very misleading sometimes, but you just need to get the hang of it
• When emailing, you need to know the exact time zone the server is set on, because it may not send the task when you think it would.
• We think it may have more room to add more templates, the one the platform has turned boring over time— I think it would be an interesting update.

I tested Google's testing platform before using Zarget and found it quite difficult to set up tests and doesn't give as much insight. I only used the free version though. Zarget definitely fairs better in comparison.

Salesforce and Dynamics may be fine if you can afford them, but don't offer much more than what you get from Mautic, for free and with total control and longer term active development. SugarCRM ended development and maintenance of their Community Edition around 2018. The long-term roadmaps for free versions of SugarCRM or its forks were very unclear

• It's too early to be calculating ROI, but I'd say we're on the track to north, thanks to Zarget.

• Automating interactions with clients in an early funnel stage
• Focusing your sales team on the best qualified leads
• Influencing purchase decisions along the customer journey
