    Maropost
    Maropost is a little more expensive than its competitors. I'd say Maropost is well suited for medium and larger businesses, not small businesses unless they're really good at utilizing e-mail and monetizing it.

    Salesfusion is a marketing automation platform more appropriate for small companies considering the limited functionalities are limited. The email builder tool is easy to use and ideal for someone with no coding knowledge

    Pros
    Maropost
    • Maropost is particularly strong in the customization aspect. As a sales person, I love using MSC because I can customize everything from A-Z.
    • The features are endless, a personal fav is the Journey's feature with Marketing Cloud.
    • Client support is quick to respond.

    SugarCRM
    • It was easy to navigate.
    • I liked that I could click on a link to email a potential client and that it would track/link that email back to the Salesfusion profile.
    • I liked the reporting features so that I could see exactly how many cold calls resulted in appointments, with whom I last left voicemail or need to follow up with.

    Cons
    Maropost
    • The Sales Department shouldn't promise the customer what support can't deliver on.
    • They should also brush up on some ethics courses. It's appalling to me how they conduct business. Buyer beware.

    • The user interface is somewhat cumbersome and not intuitive at times.
    • Additional user education available through downloads for existing customers rather than scheduled webinars would be helpful.
    • Custom reporting is complicated to set up.

    We've been very happy with SalesFusion since day 1. We've also created a new website during the time period that we've had SF and everything carried over great to our new website!

    Support Rating
    Maropost
    Though relatively responsive, the responses were always utterly unhelpful and sometime not even relevant to the questions we asked. It quickly became apparent that it was outsourced copy/paste support.

    The support team has always been helpful, friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. They follow-up on all my tickets promptly and when needed are available for screen sharing to illustrate solutions for more complex problems. The support department at Salesfusion is one of my favorite things about the platform.

    Maropost had everything we needed and more. We loved that fact that one price covered everything. As we move forward we don't have to go back and purchase modules that we are now ready for. No one wants to go back to management and ask for more money

    I was using Net-Results and it seemed more geared for an experienced marketer who was familiar with HTML and didn't need as much training. I found the system frustrating and didn't have much success when I called in for training. I was brand new to automation marketing and needed more hand-holding than Net-Results was able to provide

    Return on Investment
    Maropost
    • Lack of data and information about our users that we can use to get smarter in our segmentation hurts us in that we lose branded deals or partnerships.
    • Takes too much time to export reports and gain attrition reporting information, manually preparing reports is not a good use of time for anyone on our team.

    • Increased employee efficiency
    • Better customer service
    • The ability to send email campaigns from a specific user and not "from" the organization title. We use this funcationality a lot and it was not available with other software so this is huge.
