- Act-On can monitor traffic to our web pages, when the same contact visits our site more than once, the email address, and possibly additional information is captured for generating in bound leads.
- Daily auto generated of inbound traffic from various regions of the world provides international geographical interest in our company
- Generate metrics from Act-On to measure the efficacy of our marketing campaigns.
- Templates of graphics and email letters creation is very simple.
- Can not think of any. It met all the requirements that I had in my job.
- We did not make any calculations of ROI, however, emails sent generated ample conatcts quickly and continued to generate contacts as time went on.
- Act-On made it very easy to manage email campaigns and historical information on campaigns are always available at fingertips.
Act-On concentrates on marketing aspects and provides excellent functionality, where as Sugar CRM's focus is on CRM DB functionality, and their user interface and historical reporting does not come ready made. Act-On provides easy download of latest information from CRM and also upload. This can be automated periodic updates, or run on demand. Works very effectively.
