Reviews
(1-25 of 209)Keap Has Become a Dinosaur among ESP Marketing Platforms
- CRM
- tagging customers to segment
- database management
- phone and chat support are good
- has not kept up with other platforms on automation of segmenting
- not intuitive
- older design - requires more steps to accomplish the same thing
Keap Pro
- Follow up
- Organization
- Sales pipeline
- Phone line
More Pros Than Cons: Real World Keap Pro.
- Organize contacts.
- Process leads.
- Monitoring a customer/project through the loan process.
- The email creation module is not as robust as it could be.
- Duplicate contact removal.
- Limited text campaign size (number of recipients).
Great tool, a little too complex and pricey
- Targeted emails
- Keeps notes on clients
- automations
- Too complex for a small business
- Takes a long time to load data
- Automations were difficult to understand and test
- Highly customizable - fields in contact records can be created and integrated with many different tools
- Automation - this takes a learning curve to do really well but is very powerful if you know how to use it. Well beyond cheaper email campaign solutions
- Reports (mostly) - There are probably hundreds of reporting options in different parts of Keap, and the most useful ones can be highly customized with all custom fields, saved, and used on a recurring basis. Some reports I wish had more capabilities like their main ones, but for the most part it works very well.
- Integrations
- Detailed logic building in campaigns can be somewhat challenging for new users. After 5 years I don't feel limited by this but when it's time to train new team members they're prone to mistakes for quite a while.
- Some reports lack the ability to combine with custom fields/other search parameters which requires some work arounds like tagging the results of one report to open in a different report and narrow down.
- Change history on company records, contact records, subscriptions etc is difficult to see. This doesn't come up often but sometimes we need to see who changed a setting or subscription and can't find that right within Keap
Highly Recommend Keap!

We use Keap in 3 businesses, because it’s the best CRM & automation tool on the market
- Campaign Builder - as I’m a visual person, the ability to map out and build automation on not only sales and marketing funnels, but internal processes as well. This has been a game-changer to setup automation and we continue to reap the rewards years later.
- CRM - using it as a CRM has allowed me to have a single source of truth for my leads and customers to collect info on, add notes, track and trigger automation savings hours every week, and help prevent leads from falling through the cracks.
- Innovation - they were one of the first in the market and are still innovating to make the product better.
- Version Options - There are 3 different versions of the software now (we use 2 different versions across 3 businesses). Depending on your needs - you can grow with the platform if you want to access more functionality, or keep it simple and have an easier user interface
- Text Messaging - they just released this in the US. It will be good when this is available for other international users for text broadcasts and automation.
- Business Line - this will also be good when it's available in Australia.
- Organize leads.
- Helps to organize sales processes.
- Helps with easy communication using campaigns and broadcast.
- Helps me sell by using easy quotes.
- The appointment feature can use more flexibility in how you set up availability.
KEAPING it all together with KEAP!
- Tagging and client segmentation
- Product ordering with good promotion capability
- Complex auto-marketing and prospect nurturing features
- Hiding, but retaining, archived campaigns, promotions, products, etc.
- An ACH debiting option in payment collection
- Sales pipeline management and automation
- Automated long-term nurture
- Note templates as shortcuts for sales reps (with automated follow up)
- Keap is very contact-centric. It's hard to manage B2B relationships.
- I wish Keap Max Classic had built-in appointment scheduling.
- The relationship between opportunities and contacts is sometimes confusing.
Best bang for your buck!
- Custom Reports
- Integrations with 3rd party applications
- Referral Commission Tracking
- Customer Journey Communications
- Payment Processing
- Access opportunity data at the campaign level
- Note organization

- Training. They have super trainers. The best of the best is Greg Jenkins. The first time I followed a course, I asked a question. He answered with a video, just for me. It was more than 10 minutes. Super clear, super useful. This had never happened to me before.
- Stronger interaction with Facebook
- Insert easily video in the emails in the campaigns
- Go back when you type an email, if do a mistake
The Backbone of my Business.

Marketing automation at its best
- Manage new leads and nurture them until the convert into clients
- Track all client engagement opportunities and activities taken in the CRM
- Provide followup information in a timely and customized format for events, webinars, and other lead-generating activities.
- Webform needs to be updated for style and layout
- Landing pages could be more robust in options and variations
- Analytics needs better tracking
- The ability to enter a form directly into a webpage thus eliminating the need for additional WordPress plugins.
- Built-in order form and shopping cart functionality including payment processing.
- Easy-to-use task management allows us to trigger different automation depending on the completion goal of the task.
- There are 2 different mail builders as they upgrade the system which can be a bit challenging but the builder in the newest version is extremely easy to use.
- The landing page builder is not quite as robust as some 3rd party landing page builders but improvements and feature enhancements are added regularly and have made it very easy to use.
Keap can be a game changer for small business
- Follow-up with leads.
- Follow-up with clients.
- Nurturing clients/leads.
- Appointment reminders.
- Contact management.
- Tracking monthly & annual sales.
- Occasionally, clients with some complex needs for sales management can have difficulty with Keap, but generally most needs can be met after discussions and thoughtful planning.
- Email inbox placement can sometimes be an issue, but I've found that proper planning, utilizing best practices and careful list hygiene management takes care of this in nearly all instances.
- For my use, the ecommerce functionality is fine, but I do have clients who need more robust reporting and taxation functionality, which has been improving, but is still an area that needs additional attention.
An Overall Powerful CRM for Businesses.
- Email Automation.
- Lead Management.
- Sales Pipeline.
- Payment
- Ease of use, but vast number of training materials available.
- It's like mobile version has low features compared to the web version.
- The campaign part is bit complex and take time to learn things.
Keap: Affordable, Supportive, and Rich with Resources
- Pricing: Keap Max Classic (formerly Infusionsoft) is affordable for nonprofits and small businesses and includes all the automation features we need!
- Customer Support: Our onboarding and success coaches have been so helpful, taking into account some unique processes we have and finding solutions.
- Updates: Keap is constantly providing more and better solutions!
- Analytics: They have recently added some analytic reports and dashboards, but I believe they still have a lot to be desired here. Because they are still rather new, I do have faith these will be updated.
- Membership: Our organization and e-commerce include membership to our Institute, which isn't quite something that Keap was designed to support, so we have to get creative to automate processes or are stuck with some manual things.
- Shopping Cart: The Keap shopping cart leaves something to be desired with UX, especially for our international customers.
- Email automation.
- Email formatting.
- Instructions/training.
Keap - reliable campaign automation.
- Automated emails.
- Lead database.
- Application integration.
