Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign

I currently manage ActiveCampaign on behalf of a small firm in the legal space, and it serves as a great example of the capabilities of the platform. ActiveCampaign is used for everything from initial contact with prospects through the entire acquisition process.

We leverage forms for in-house contact creation with a large number of custom fields, highly-segmented automation to get prospects through the appropriate processes, automated emails when relevant (to leads as well as internal emails), and the CRM platform as the primary method for keeping track of all prospects, past and present.
  • Ability to leverage a large number of custom fields for contacts
  • Create automations that span from very simple to very complex including segmentation by any custom field and connecting different automations together.
  • Scales based on specific business needs including platform capabilities and number of contacts
  • With the high level of customization, can be complex or overwhelming for some new users
  • Would like the ability to add some features a la carte instead of having to upgrade
  • Some reports can feel a little limited and the ability to create custom reports and charts/graphs would be nice
  • Provided a platform to develop significant in-house capabilities through internal forms and emails.
  • Gives users across the business a place to review information about prospects and clients.
  • Allowed us to create custom workflows that reduce the amount of manual work so that time can be spent elsewhere.
ActiveCampaign is the middle ground between the simpler platforms like Mailchimp and the significant complexity of platforms like Infusionsoft (now Keap). It provides custom fields, segmented automations and other options without the need to hire a consultant or company to create/manage the platform on your behalf that many businesses find with the enterprise platforms.

Yes

Would you buy ActiveCampaign again?

Yes

ActiveCampaign is a solid platform for businesses that need a significant level of customization but don't want to use enterprise platforms. It's a great tool for those looking to do more than send email sequences, especially if segmentation and tracking custom information is important to the business. ActiveCampaign also has a large library of integrations that may be important to some businesses.

If you're just looking to send out a simple series of emails, ActiveCampaign is likely more than you need.
