FullContact Inc.
This is a quick and easy way to upload information from business cards to your current contact database. It can be used by those who are organizing email marketing campaigns. It is also good for personal use -- since it organizes all available information about any given contact it is a great resource for looking up people before meetings and doing other types of background research

Well suited to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.

  • Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one.
  • Creating the firing conditions for a tag.
  • Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions.
  • If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action.

  • Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once.
  • Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

This is my new favorite app for organizing contacts and segmenting email lists. It is also the only app I have used that will transcribe business cards with 100% accuracy (they use humans to enter info from pictures of cards rather than software, like most other apps). The "merge contact" feature is great and allows you to review the contacts being merged before doing so automatically. It also integrates with Google accounts, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yahoo. Another great feature is the ability to export data in a file, which you can then upload to your regular CRM software or to Constant Contact. I wish it would allow for more business card uploads per month. Even the paid subscription has a limit of 50 cards per month. I contacted customer support to inquire about increasing this limit and was told that I would need to upgrade to a yearly contract in order to do so. If FullContact continues to be useful, I will likely upgrade. However, given that the business card contacts is one of this software's best features, I was disappointed that this allowance could not be increased. Overall, however, I would highly recommend FullContact

Because of all of the previous benefits that I mentioned, GM has mandated that any DSP that we use for their campaigns must be integrated with BrightTag. Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business

Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

FullContact has pretty much the best bang for your buck as far as the different features offered. You can do a lot of different things with it and it's all online or in an app on your phones. Easy access to the most accurate information available at your fingertips is pretty awesome

Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does

  • Wonderful for ensuring we meet our logistical and record-keeping requirements
  • Negative at being the best at quality-of-life options, like specific muting
  • Great at allowing a casual work environment in having chats for memes, pets, etc.
