Overall Satisfaction with Kajabi

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm tech virtual consultant currently helping a staffing company build a recruiting academy using Kajabi as the hosting platform.

The client wanted to keep the technology centralized and present the course with a certain level of quality for the user experience.

It's the first time they are taking their products to the digital space so everything had to be set up: domain, landing pages, online course, payment gateway, email marketing structure, etc.

Kajabi is one of the top course building platform and it's considered and all-in-one online business platform. It helps keep the online business tech in the same place and provides a scalable hosting platform for the business.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Hosting online courses
Simple page building mechanism
Adaptable email marketing system

Cons

The page builder is not as intuitive as other competitors. It takes too many click to get around the different elements and settings.
Better onboarding mechanism and explanation of where everything is located
I'm not sure why I need to create a event to use a simple countdown on a sales page, when I could simply choose the end date I want the countdown to go to for a specific price point offer

Return on Investment

Saved around $100 a month thanks to combining several online platforms into one
Saved dozens of hours not having to upload videos and images thanks to the Google Drive integration and URL Import
Building pages takes a little longer than other page builders due to how many clicks it takes to exit and enter editing settings.

Likelihood to Recommend

I wouldn't recommend Kajabi for someone that's starting to figure out what their product is going to be and who is the target audience. While one could argue the starting price point isn't high compared to having a brick and mortar store, it's also not practical pay between $100-$200 a month while the business figures out their offer. Kajabi is better suited for someone who has already tested their product, specifically courses, and can start selling it relatively soon after launching their Kajabi site. While Kajabi has come out with a coaching and community products, those are still in their infancy. The strength of Kajabi is in their course content delivery supported by the ability to have a simple website and email marketing system in the same platform.
