Zarget is well suited for web testing. The A/B test function is simple yet effective. The tool is also really good for heat maps. Even easier and quicker than A/B testing and so insightful! Goal funnels are also great with Zarget but we use GA functionality for that.

I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
available to help close deals successfully.

  • It is an easy to use platform and is quite intuitive.
  • Zarget allows you to see hot spots and click rates on active pages.

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.

Zoho has a good price point. I would encourage that the add-on pricing be less aggressive.
