Ontraport Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a coaching company. We use Ontraport for CRM, page editor, emailing, reporting, purchase product pages.

It allows all admin, operation, content and marketing team to work on it.

Ontraport accompanies to turn our prospects into clients and to access their informations at anytime. It is very convenient as we can easily personalize the tools to meet our needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Here are some cases where Ontraport is well suited :

- When writing emails, you can easily access to preview, manage the changes and go back to what you did before

- When using automations, if there's an error, you can go back to a previous version of it. There are also some super tools that allows to see where a clients is on an automation without having to go through the all automation.

It is less appropriate when you are several colleague that are addressing an issue on an email/automation as it doesn't allows you to be multiple person on the item.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Ontraport for our customer facing, daily newsletter. Our company is quite new and the list is very fresh.

When we began with them we spent nearly 2.5 hours in various phone conversations to both make sure they could meet our needs and then working to connect their service to our sites. <div>

</div><div>As we are sending daily we required a more robust package which they were happy to set us up with. </div><div>

</div><div>Issues began from day 1. Our open rates with an optin list sending highly relevant content were almost all under 9%. Most in the 5% ranges. </div><div>

</div><div>This, at least for me (having well over 126k subscribers with another provider since 2004) was unheard of. It turns out they are unable to pass DMARK. </div><div>

</div><div>Beyond that, we discovered nearly weekly “overage” charges that should not have been associated with the plan they had put us on. When we contacted them they flat out refused to reverse them &amp; insisted we have another call to upgrade to the service we had been told we were already paying for. </div><div>

</div><div>Many other issues also exist: 2x and 4x repeat sends to the subscribers and a dash that indicates our list is 25% larger than it is. </div>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Ontraport to collect data (marketing), automate processes (change fields based on others), Sales processes and automate documents to clients. We have had to use external services to achieve all this.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ontraport is more suited to those looking for an all-around-system (marketing, sales, post-sales etc) rather than a sales only type system like Pipedrive. With some basic computer skills, a few integrations and a good Upworks Dev you can achieve almost anything.

It's not suited to computer illiterate people.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ontraport is our all in one system that is the brain of the business. Sales, marketing, and accounting use it for different reasons. Ontraport takes the pain out of having to have multiple places to pull in data from. We use the dashboard to see where we are at every day. Instead of trying to make 8 different products talk to each other we use Ontraport and it gives us a clear picture of the business.

Likelihood to Recommend

Starting a business you have enough stuff to deal with. Ontraport takes the headache out of the tech side. Everything works together and you don't ever get left alone to figure things out. I would beg any new business to invest in Ontraport. Or if you want to grow and scale an existing business it would be great. I think it more for service-based business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Ontraport to gather leads &amp; lead them through content nurture sequences. I also use it to sell offers, and use their membership plugin with my WordPress site to host my membership content &amp; give the right people access to the right things.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works really well for a person like me who has one small business, but with multiple sides to it. I can easily use Ontraport to market to both sides &amp; manage the crossovers well where they happen.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ONTRAPORT is being used to consolidate our contacts. We previously had information on several software products and we want to consolidate and use ONTRAPORT for our mass marketing campaigns. By our consolidating our contact information, we are able to more accurately tag our donors for report pulling and mailing to our donors.

Likelihood to Recommend

ONTRAPORT is definitely well-suited for sales businesses and companies. This allows you to track sales from various imports while tracking individual information on customers. You can essentially track and build any reporting you would like with the drag and drop system. However, this is not as well-suited for nonprofits as it does not track historical donor data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ONTRAPORT as our CRM and email marketing campaign platform. ONTRAPORT does a great job helping us keep our marketing and sales messaging segmented by where our prospects are at in the marketing and sales funnels. We can easily create and push out messaging to specific users and automate nearly every marketing task we have in ONTRAPORT.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have multiple offers, or points of entry where you generate leads, I like ONTRAPORT a lot. You can build out centralized campaigns which make it very easy to manage your messaging and monitor performance. They're also good for multiple users, as each user can customize the interface to suit. I don't really like ONTRAPORT for a CRM though.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ONTRAPORT in just about every department of our business. It's our contact management software, it's where we build most of our sales/landing pages for our offerings, it's how we manage email campaigns, it's how we manage registrations to our retreats and events. It does a great job at the majority of those things.

Likelihood to Recommend

ONTRAPORT is very powerful, and accordingly pricey. I'd recommend it if you have a business model based on acquiring leads and emailing or otherwise contacting them regularly--if that kind of marketing/management is integral to your business, ONTRAPORT is definitely worth your money.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Marketing automation, sales workflows, providing customers with education about our services, automatically keeping up with clients, tracking goals/tasks, managing a sales funnel.

Likelihood to Recommend

ONTRAPORT is great if you have a scalable team, and want to keep people accountable for their tasks.

It's not so great for agile development. Things can feel like they happen a bit too slow, and it's scary to test out small ideas. I realize this is rather subjective.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All my contact database is stored in Ontraport. The combination of landing pages, lead magnet delivery, nurture sequences and autoresponders plus advanced contact tagging means that I don't need anything else. I am still learning how to get the most out of this but I can see however advanced of a funnel you want to build, it can be built here. For lead gen and e commerce I fully intend to stick around and just get better at this product. Less confusing that 'confusionsoft' more advanced than mailchimp, less intimidating than sendgrid etc. I love it.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a consultant or service business looking for a sales funnel system and contact database this will suit you. If you are into online sales and e-commerce it will work well too.
