    Net Results
    Net-Results is very well-suited for small, medium and large businesses. They seem to be more advanced than what a typical enterprise level implementation would require. When selecting a marketing automation provider make it a point to find out the level of integration with Salesforce and other marketing technologies. Do they have pre-built automation modules or does it require building from the ground up? Also ask questions regarding its specific capabilities ... for example: is it a marketing automation provider? is it a CRM provider? etc

    Pros
    Net Results
    • Automated emails in a drip campaign that Sales can remove people from.
    • Lead scoring and alerts that go right to the lead owner.
    • Weekly reports to each Sales person with their hottest lead.
    • Very finely tuned segments that can be used for alerts, emails, and scheduled reports.
    • Integration with Salesforce. The Sales team can basically trigger their own emails.

    Cons
    Net Results
    • Forms: Would love to have dependent fields, also ability to see all data a user entered without having to create a custom field for every form.
    • Campaign branching: Criteria need to be selected one at a time, which can be very time-consuming.

    Usability
    Net Results
    Net Results is pretty easy to use and understand. I wouldn't say that it is the best in comparison to MailChimp's drag and drop email builder, but Net Results do so much more than MailChimp that it is hard to even compare the two. Overall Net Results has good usability

    We've used ClickDimensions and Marketo. We felt that ClickDimensions was more limited as far as creating effective email campaigns and not as easy to use. It also is completely native to Dynamics CRM, which can be a positive and a negative. Marketo was the previous solution we owned, we are much happier with Net-Results. It's easier to use, not as complex and there is much better communication from their support team. When looking at a new solution we also looked at Act-On and Hubspot. Act-On probably would've been our second choice, but it didn't have as modern of a feel and wasn't quite as easy to use. Hubspot didn't really fit our business. It was very focused on SEO and blog posts. It didn't have the features we needed from a marketing standpoint

    I use both SimplyCast and Act-On. Act-On ties in with our database, I use SimplyCast in order to send e-mails that don't look exactly like our other e-mails

    Return on Investment
    Net Results
    • Stronger re-engagement rates - The buy cycle for our product can be very long. Net-Results helps us keep in touch with prospects that may have gone cold.
    • Better asset utilization - Net-Results helps us drive continuous utilization of our assets.
    • Efficiency - The automation Net-Results has provided means we can focus on other tasks, like creating new assets or building new partnerships.

    • We do get responses from our e-mails
    • Do not get a lot of information like we do from Act-On
