Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign

I use ActiveCampaign as my CRM and my email automation solution. It is used across my entire company, although my company is a small company of only one--ME! I was looking for a solution that would help me track my multitude of various clients while simultaneously allow for automation and email management. After looking at HubSpot and having used MailChimp previously, I found ActiveCampaign to be a solid solution for this purpose. It allows me to track my sales funnel, send out regular emails, and serve as a CRM with automation that reminds me.

Pros

  • Automation
  • Email management
  • CRM

Cons

  • Allowing for more than one email address per user
  • Allowing no email address for a user
  • Allowing for quicker loading up of certain pages
  • It has allowed me to remain focused on customer service and sales as opposed to the process.
Honestly, I liked HubSpot better. I found the user design to be fancier than ActiveCampaign. The easy deciding factor, though, was that automation was not included at the same price point. Instant dealbreaker! It made it easy to go with ActiveCampaign. I'm glad I did. I appreciate ActiveCampaign so much.

Yes

Would you buy ActiveCampaign again?

Yes

I find ActiveCampaign to be very well-suited for working as a [life] coach with many clients at various stages in their process with me. One of the most important parts for me was finding a solution that allowed me to not let anyone fall [through] the cracks in the sales process. This catches everyone no matter where they are. This solution is not a good CRM for someone that is a product-based business because it doesn't allow for inventory. If you are in a people-based business, this should work fine for you.
