(1-5 of 222)Come for the integration, stay for the ease of use!
- Syncs with MS Dynamics
- Ease of setup for automations/emails
- Detailed marketing lists that we can segment
Cons
- Some extra ease of use would be nice (like a pause all automations button)
- Updating the footers in individual emails isn't fun every year
- Constant changing of our Act-On contact
A jack of all trades for our marketing
- Database segmentation
- Automated email programs
- Email performance metrics and reporting
Cons
- The ability to save email distribution lists for future use
Act-On: A great e-marketing solution
- Easy Interface - the WYSIWYG interface makes it extremely easy to build out marketing campaigns in a short amount of time. Just place your text and images and you've got a beautiful cohesive design.
- Wonderful customer support - I have had very few problems with Act-On, but those I did have were resolved very fast by my customer care rep. They are very hands on with their customers and do whatever they can to help you succeed.
- Integration - smooth integration with our Salesforce account allow us to build out elaborate campaigns with specific lead lists, and then add qualifying data back to customer accounts.
Cons
- We send several weekly emails out to the same customer lists and it would be convenient if when we duplicated the message it would duplicate the list selection as well.
Act-On will take your marketing to the next level!
- Act-On gives us flexibility to create high quality emails because we have the ability to import images and create links to websites or PDFs to increase agent engagement.
- Act-On has a great survey tool that allows me to create survey so that I can quickly gather information from our customer base for our business needs. The data is delivered in spreadsheet format so it can be easily analyzed.
- Act-On gives me the ability to create landing pages, which I can link our agents to more information with by an email. We have the same flexibility to create high-end landing pages.
- Act-On has great engagement reporting of our email sends. I look forward to reviewing the reports with my internal customers to show how the emails have performed from an open and click standpoint.
- ActOn has very good automated program functionality that allows me to import new agents for onboarding journeys. The automated programs are fun to build and allow for flexible messages based on an agent's production or training completion.
Cons
- I think Act-On could have a better folder system for marketing lists.
- I think Act-On could offer a faster way to clean up lists and images. Right now you have to remove one at a time.
- Act-On could make it easier to pull in personalized data to an email from an extension list. It is a two-step process right now.
