Manticore Marketing Automation
Overall Satisfaction with Sales Engine International
We 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
- Allows us to be flexible with our campaigns and emails
- Provides a repository of support/how-to documents
- Technical/customer support
- Overall compatibility with different internet browsers
- Email/template designer
- Errors in forms led to a decrease in registrations - found workaround to correct it, but was never informed of certain incompatibilities
- Reports have been inaccurate and very inflexible, and have not allowed for reliable forecasting/planning
We migrated to Marketo approximately 6 months
ago, and were extremely happy with the change. Besides the higher sticker
price and the "everything's a sales pitch" communications from
Marketo, we can't find any fault.
Sales
Engine International - Manticore (commonly referred to as Manti-beast
internally) created many problems for us. And while they did integrate
with our Microsoft Dynamics environment, the software quickly ate through our
purchased storage and forced us to constantly purchase more. That alone
cost us many hundreds of dollars in Microsoft Dynamics CRM storage every year.
And, when confronted about it, Manticore support flat out lied about how
much storage their activities were taking up in our system. So, while it
integrates, it's a very poor integration.
