    iContact
    I would only recommend it if someone was a small business. I think they are the best suited for companies who will send out a coupon or offer here and there. The most recent updates made it more complicated to use for more complicated processes. It is easy to train someone on the program, and so quick to learn. But I would also only stick to the simpler things. I also think the colorful templates are great, and show great creativity. But again, it is hard to justify recommending the program when it isn't WYSIWYG.

    I think Verint Automated Quality Management is very well suited for QA processes that are manual and which the primary interface is the Verint UI and everything is done sequentially. One issue we have encountered is that Verint Automated Quality Management does not allow draft evaluations to be shared between users or visible outside of the user who created them. This has caused us to need to tweak our processes and it's a feature I wish Verint Automated Quality Management supported.

    Pros
    iContact
    • Contact management. iContact is really great for entering all your contact. You are able to put them onto different lists, and let them choose which lists they would like to be a part of as well. There are many data fields provided to fill in information.
    • Emailing. We use the email feature at least once a month. They are always improving and adding new features, which is very helpful in presenting content in a new and exciting way to our readers. There are many options with remade templates and themes, or you can add your own.
    • Insights. It is really helpful being able to have the data to see what is working and what isn't. It is nice to be able to go back and see how things went in the past compared to now. Opens, clicks, shares, etc.

    Cons
    iContact
    • We also would like to send transactional messages which don't require an opt-out, this is a challenge with iContact. (May be a feature with pro?)
    • The regular version of iContact doesn't support event management or logic flows for automated messaging.
    • Custom form fields have limited field type options (can't build a drop-down).

    • The Verint API does not support QM or Verint Automated Quality Management features fully.
    • The API options that are supported are not well documented which has caused us a great deal of difficulty in integrating QM with our existing tools and environments. Better API support would be a game changer for us.
    • In the non-SAAS deployments Verint Automated Quality Management does not support AI based automation yet which is a disappointment for us.

    iContact has been a quick and easy way to send any announcements and news directly to email and social media subscribers. Its tracking and reporting capabilities turn a simple email into a marketing campaign that can be used as a tool to efficiently gauge reader response and customer satisfaction, and ultimately to reach potential customers. The consistency and excellent customer service is what makes this program a pleasant experience.

    Usability
    iContact
    I rate iContact as an easy to use program due to its user friendly dashboard and user interface. Most companies of small to medium size do not have a dedicated marketer, therefore it is someone multitasking who may or may not have this kind of experience. iContact makes it relatively simple and can actually expand one's knowledge in the area of business promotion.

    Access cannot be restricted in the form designer at the form level. In order to give admin access for AQM it opens up access to all form. In a company with multiple organizations, we wouldn't want others to be able to modify forms.

    Reliability and Availability

    iContact is regularly up and running. Only once has it been unavailable for maintenance, which is to be expected and even desired for optimal performance when needed.

    They have always been responsive to any issues or concerns that have arisen with our account. Our customer account manager participates in our monthly county-wide communicators meetings via telephone to ensure that we are getting the most from the service. He also analyzes our lists to help us weed out inactive contacts.

    I didn't have a say in the decision because I wasn't with the company at the time. I listed HubSpot here because I know we used it in conjunction with iContact for email automation, but HubSpot Email was only recently built-out to the point where it is today. Now, iContact and HubSpot are no longer integrated.

    Overall, the features around QM and especially Verint Automated Quality Management seem better than what we've used in CXOne. One thing that has been somewhat better with CXOne as mentioned earlier is better support of their API access to the application for integration with our existing apps.

    Scalability
    iContact
    iContact stays the same with the number of users added or taken away. It certainly remains reliable despite increased usage, and so, can be considered scaleable in that aspect.

    Return on Investment
    iContact
    • We have a template for webinars that we send every month. We just edit it and send. This couldn't be easier (once you know where to find it).
    • We like the breakdown of statistics in the dashboard. They're easy to read.
    • iContact isn't a comprehensive solution, so it is only one of a few products we use for marketing.

    • We have only recently begun deploying Verint Automated Quality Management and our experience on this in terms of ROI is still developing. We see potential but so far in the migration we've had a lot of setup challenges getting migration evaluation forms into Verint which have delayed our ROI.
    • Having a single interface for all QM activities has been a positive for us.
