Tim Berman View profile

Founder and Growth Hacker at Big Red's Equipment Sales in Marketing at Big Red's Equipment Sales (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

Event-based automations, and automations based on custom field value. Perhaps the most versatile automation engine on the market.
Clean visual workflows.
Support! The support team is super friendly and results-driven.

Cons

More integrations, especially e-commerce related. A 2-way Pipedrive integration would be massively huge.
The workflow builder is nice, but needs cleaning up. Drag and drop would be good. Multiple parallel automations on the board would be helpful. Linking automations in a visual view, like ActiveCampaigns visual map would be very helpful.
The ability to store contacts with partial information, and use automation to progressively profile. We want to be able to do SMS marketing with Drip and work toward getting that email address to further engage.
Integration with loyalty programs would be a big deal for business.
Integration with referral programs would also be good.

Return on Investment

It has helped us to engage our leads on a much higher level than we could do without automations. Direct ROI is hard to measure, at this point. As they complete their Magento integration, it will be easier to measure from cart abandonment sequences.
