Marketo Sales Connect vs. Maxemail

We are solving our small sales team problem. I am the only SDR in the company and Tout helps me manage, send and follow up with many of my leads automatically. Tout is more focused on “success or failure” of emails than Yesware is. They are going in different directions – as you can see that they’ll probably have some features from one another.

Maxemail is perfect for sending newsletters to customers, as well as triggered emails and lifecycle emails. It proves vast ability for you to use customer data to make rich personalisation, and gives excellent deliverability.

• Track leads opening emails and clicking links. We could easily see if a lead forwarded an email to a large group of people for instance, because the stats would show it.
• Connect our email and CRM to log email activities onto Leads and Contacts.
• Keep users inside of our email system instead of copying and pasting email templates from multiple places.

Incentivized

• Maxemail provides great customer service.
• Maxemail has a very powerful platform with a lot of capabilities.
• Maxemail does dynamic email building and personalisation very well and gives you tools to do incredible things.
• Maxemail provides fantastic deliverability for our emails.

Incentivized

• Reporting is clunky and challenging to use at times. They were recently purchased by Marketo, so I'm hopeful that Marketo will be able to address some of these concerns.
• The ToutApp interface is not the most intuitive and does not provide a deeper understanding/analysis of the data.
• The ToutApp integration with Outlook has created intermittent problems in usability/access.

Incentivized

• Maxemail lacks a lot of the 'add-ons' companies like mailchimp and others provide - such as landing pages and Zapier integration - but they don't need these features really and the features they do have excel above and beyond other companies.
• Maxemail user interface looks daunting and was hard to teach to some people.

It was tough to reach their support team. On average, it would take over 24 hours to get a response. Agents would ask us to perform repetitive tasks and take lots of screenshots instead of looking at our system and helping us fix issues.

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was nowhere near as dynamic as the other listed tools that I mentioned. There was not any Sequence or Cadence you could follow. It was missing dynamic fields. A bit cumbersome. The other tools had much prettier interfaces too.

Maxemail had the perfect blend of the features we needed with pricing that works for us and incredible customer service. They did not have pushy sales, just transparent quality.

Incentivized

• It's enabled more efficiency for our SDR team to track and monitor emails.
• Increased our ability to better target prospects as we learned more about their behaviors.
• The automation tools for email, and the ability to get glimpses into how that impacted pipeline development, were worth the cost.

Incentivized

• Maxemail was more experienced than our previous provider but the additional cost is small compared to the much higher quality.
• Maxemail has given us flexbility to try a lot of things that have improved our email metrics.
• Maxemail's customer service is quick and responsive so saves us time trying to get things done.
