Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review SendPulse is great if you want to connect with your list on a more personal basis, and making sure that your email reaches your subscriber when it is best for him/her. You can also use the SMS function (though I haven't used it yet). Let's say you have clients and want to send a message to them automatically on their birthday, SendPulse allows you to do that. It allows you to add in specific fields that are relevant to you, in order to customise your messaging as much as you want and need.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review One of the best features of this software is its user interface. I found it very intuitive. It has sms feature also which is a great add-on to this software. It has live chat support feature. And I find it very helpful when i find any technical problem. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review I like its Drag and Drop function to design e-mailers but it lacks in some functionalities. Foe example when I write two different contents in a same box I need a line to show separation between my contents in the same box but this feature is unavailable in SendPulse. They should include more fonts. Every product or service needs different kind of fonts to make a right impact on customers. With limited option of fonts it restricts user's creativity. It is good to have templates to give users some idea for designing campaigns but here SendPluse has nothing much to offer. They have very limited number of templates.

Read full review Usability I find that overall SendPulse is very intuitive to use and the support is there to help you out in case you don't find how to do what you wish to do. The drag and drop functionalities make it easy to create the newsletters you want. Every field is explained and small tutorials are included to show you how to create a new template, newsletter, etc. which makes it very easy to use.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Every time I contacted the support team with a question or a problem, they were very fast in replying and helping me out solve it. Usually latest within 10 minutes I would receive a first answer, and the problem would get solved on the same day.
Read full review Implementation Rating When implementing SendPulse, it is a good idea to have a transition phase where you still use both systems, in case anything goes wrong.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review For SendPulse's price point, I consider their competition to be the likes of
Mailchimp ,
ConstantContact , etc. While SendPulse rates roughly average across the board in all areas, for businesses looking for the cheapest option (which comes with a lack of features/quality),
ConstantContact beats them. For quality/features/value, I'd say
Mailchimp is the best option for small businesses.
Read full review Return on Investment 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.

And this software played a major role in doing so. It made brand building very easy among my clients. Read full review ScreenShots
