Norada Solve360 vs SharpSpring

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're working with a lot of clients and are working in one field Norada is perfect. I found it difficult to configure it to work precisely as I want to for a multi-field company that offers two very different products whose sales teams should never meet, yet know about each other.

SharpSpring is a great choice for a small team running on a budget. It has most the big features you'd expect from a full stack marketing automation system. I think it's essential to have a savvy marketing automation user to use the software to it's full capacity though.

Moves deals through the sales process. It's very easy to update the sales pipeline.
Ease of use. It was very easy for me to learn SharpSpring and continue to use it.
Adding contacts and opportunities is simple, and it will warn the user before creating a duplicate contact.

The email builder within SharpSpring is usable, but definitely not user friendly. I recommend building the emails elsewhere and importing the code.
The sales management tool could use a few more default reports beyond those that are currently available.
Their customer service is great, but I think the training could use some improvement. In fact, we've had to go outside for some of our user training.

We have been very impressed with all aspects of this software and the potential for it to radically change how we operate is huge! Support has been exceptional and we have discovered many extra uses for the software than originally thought. Not only will it give us benefits for our company's growth, but for our client's growth as well.

SharpSpring 8.2

Based on 69 answers

This rating is coming from an administrative perspective. With so many features, workflows, dashboards, and more, there is certainly a lot going on, and even the most savvy software user can get a little overwhelmed when trying to decide how to best implement and utilize the platform to its full potential. That being said, the SharpSpring platform is well-implemented and well-organized, with most solutions being fairly intuitive, once you have a grasp of the software. It is fairly easy to learn, but difficult to master. Just like any powerful platform, however, the complexity is worth it, and once you are comfortable navigating and problem solving within SharpSpring, it becomes a great marketing and sales tool which can do virtually anything you need it to.

I have received fast answers to any questions I have ever had. The support staff knows how to work with less tech-literate people and is patient enough to explain. Even if my issue was not solvable the support staff gave me another way to get the job done.

The support is great which really helps overcome challenges if you become stuck and the training videos are great too. Same-day replies are great and I even got some help with some CSS code on the chat. Not many organizations would do this or even respond.

SharpSpring 7.9

Based on 13 answers

Overall I would say to be patient and bring everyone who will be touching the platform to the onboarding sessions. The Virtual Classroom lets you onboard as quickly or slowly as you want. Sales, marketing, design, account management, get 'em all in on it. For the most part, they will be happy to use this platform. I recommend getting as many people as possible to see the SharpSpring demo.

We have tested and work with several marketing automation/CRM systems over the course of over 25 years in the B-to-B marketing/advertising business, among them are: HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot, Zoho, Salesforce, and many others. SharpSpring continues to be the gold standard for me in terms of overall value and ease of use.
