Support is US-based, free with subscription, and very helpful.
Best workflow capability (drag and drop) I've seen in any comparable product.
Custom templates are available for purchase and are great for branding.
Easy to use landing pages.,Some bugs when using on a Mac.
Turnover of support team - since acquisition by SalesEngine the Manticore team has changed quite a bit.
Daily reports aren't as robust as some solutions - hard to get good company info on anonymous visits.,Hugely helpful in augmenting a small sales team with automated emailing.
Nurtures large leads lists so sales can start with most qualified versus cold calling.
We were having to manually sync our emailing data with our CRM - took a huge amount of time, wasn't always accurate & created a lot of duplicates - now it's almost in real time.
Easily create campaigns in the system and sync to CRM to determine ROI, qualified leads and opportunities.,10,10Meredith OakesThere are way better options available...2015-02-13T01:08:49.393ZWe used the Manticore Marketing Automation solution to handle all of our company's bulk correspondence and prospecting communications. We have implemented 50+ nurture/drip style campaigns, and are currently using the program to track website visitors, send sales alerts to our sales and lead generation teams, to connect with and send data to our CRM, manage our blacklist/do-no-contact list, and managed our lead scoring system.
The program has allowed our company to automate our email campaigns and helps with all of our different event planning and event registrations (i.e. monthly webinars, tradeshows, etc.).
All the reasons listed above and more was why we selected a new marketing automation platform. We migrated over to Marketo.
On top of everything, the Sales Engine International sales team was so difficult to work with during the migration period, that we were forced to up our timeline and complete the migration in under 30 days, or risk being locked into another auto-renewed annual contract.,Automating the marketing process

It takes mere minutes to set up the integration and does not require IT support to integrate. Other systems I looked at required a days work for integration and an extra fee for integration and/or support.
Marketing Automation - It is very easy to drag and drop actions for workflow development. Once an automated process is activated, it also shows you how many people are at what stage of the process and allows you to download these people at that particular step.
Email Creation - Manticore gives you a variety of email creation options, Templates, WYSIWYG editor, and HTML code options. The tabs when creating an email are simple to follow and take you through each step to test and launch a campaign.,List Building for Resends - I like to resend my email campaigns to non-openers and there is no easy way to pull this list within Manticore (If did not open this email is not an option). Typically I pull the report for the campaign, then re-import my list of non-openers to create a new list.,Campaign Results - We are monitoring the lead sources and evaluating our marketing spending based on the results.
Lead Qualification before handing to sales - Our team is spending less time walking unqualified leads through a sales process manually (reps sending information to leads when just researching), giving sales more sales-ready leads.
More communication with less time spent - Making campaigns automated, rather than a push to send manual process - helps our team to expend energy on other, larger projects.,10,9,3,1,Marketing Automation - System is used to send automatic responses after lead capture form is submitted, then subsequently follow up based on the lead's interactions with emails sent (opened, clicked, not opened).
Lead Scoring - Assigns scores to incoming leads based on qualification attributes (lead type), as well as scores lead's online activity on website and with emails.
