Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign

Active Campaign is being used by myself in order to prepare all the marketing campaigns to be sent by email. In the future, I also plan to train the fellow junior copywriters working with me, so that they can also use them for my company's marketing, but also for themselves as freelancers, once they start to grow. I changed to Active Campaign after being with another email marketing provider in order to be able to do better and more qualified segmentations.
  • Really good segmentation.
  • Nice visual to plan your funnels.
  • The scaling pricing is fine and fair, not only because the more people you have, the more you get charged, but also because it forces you to have a quality list, not numbers for the sake of numbers.
  • Ok, I like Active Campaign, but the email editor is horrendous: zero usability, lots of editing mistakes, lots of difficulties just to put one paragraph after another. Lots to be improved there.
  • Good ROI, as I'm quick at writing emails and I always get a good response.
Was useful, but very poor at segmenting. I also found it challenging to get to know the platform but, as opposed to what happens with Active Campaign, they did not have the amazing customer service that Active Campaign has, which guides you throughout the entire process of setting up an acoount.
Active Campaign is a really useful alternative when you have already worked with a software related to email marketing and you've got your things together. If it's your first time, it might be challenging, and you probably wouldn't be taking any advantage out of the usage of this tool. Besides, I have heard the Client Service is absolutely amazing, and they guide you until you have become used to the tool.
