If you are looking to make simple, guided demos to easily demonstrate product UI and workflows, Storylane is a great choice. You need to be ready to invest a lot more heavily if you'd like to provide a sandbox experience that will allow users to navigate around the whole UI with full linking and interactive onscreen elements.

For businesses requiring advanced email marketing features like sophisticated automation, in-depth analytics, and extensive customization, VerticalResponse might fall short due to its limited featuresVerticalResponse is ideal for small businesses or freelancers who need a simple, straightforward email marketing tool. Its ease of use and basic features make it suitable for those without extensive technical expertise in email marketing

I love the ease of list builder because we often times have a lot of data to import. It would be simply impossible without this tool, considering the amount of customer data we have for any one given email.
We really enjoy the ease of use of the HTML wizard as well. It helps even a novice be able to make a beautiful and attention grabbing email.
The dashboard is functional and easy to find when you need with a quick search.

It's not intuitive when I want to modify some of the text in the boxes
It's difficult when I wanted to copy a slide from one demo and drop it into another demo. It's never worked properly and this seems like it should be a relatively easy technical lift to offer - also it doesn't say that it won't work, it just simply made a mess of my slides.

The type face is small. Not sure if this is to avoid overwhelming the reader, but I could see this being an issue with vision-impaired people or people who don't see small print well.
Sometimes I find it takes multiple clicks to make one simple change. I wish there was a search field at the top of the screen that allowed me to jump directly to a client's entry to update it there.
Product is easy for both technical and non-technical people to use. A cost effective solution for sending out large number of messages. We can manage unsubscribes by individual accounts, so we can have multiple multiple accounts combined to maximize our buying power on credits. Effective API for sending/receiving data makes tool a valuable asset.
It is fairly easy to use the Product demo builder. There's nothing complex on the platform. I feel like there's so much room to add complexity to the product, as it's too easy to use at the moment. More functionalities bring more complexity. So, currently, I would say Storylane is pretty easy to use without any prior training.

I truly love this product. We are moving to an all-in-one system next year and my greatest fear in doing so is how much I will miss this platform. Although we are excited for things ahead, I will always keep Vertical Response in my back pocket incase I don't love the new platform as much

At Vertical Response the help desk associates are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they enjoy what they do. And clearly, they are well trained because most times, the first point of contact is able to resolve any issue you may have. There have been very few times where an associate has needed to get back to me or escalate me to a supervisor

Basic functions and online help...we used what was needed, at the time, and will continue to explore other online trainings as our functional needs expand
The demo done by the team was brilliant and they were able to get us trial access immediately. Their gtm team was also able to accommodate our request on pricing and contract terms which really made us incline heavily towards Storylane. The product also was very well built and we didn’t need to look actively at competitors.

In addition to using Vertical Response personally I also manage email marketing for clients that already use Mailchimp, Robly and Constant Contact. While most of these platforms all offer similar features I choose Vertical Response first if the client does not have a platform in place. Typically I am also teaching the client how to use this tool and the Vertical Response visual interface is very easy for me to teach a client how to navigate and create their own campaigns.

I cannot attest to the ROI as I created Storylanes for my company shortly before making a career change. I anticipate that it will shorten the sales cycle as it will help champions convince decision makers who were not present during a live demo.
