Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We switched from Pardot to SharpSpring and are very happy. It offers just as much functionality, possibly more, for a fraction of the price. Not only that, but with the option to resell, we are able to cover our own SharpSpring and then some. The Salesforce integration is nice, but it's unfortunate that the CRM isn't robust enough to be able to switch entirely to SharpSpring.

Pros and Cons

Onboarding.
Resources.
Ease of use.

The CRM is week. We still have to use Salesforce and pay an additional $100/month for the integration, which does not work perfectly.

Return on Investment

Improved marketing automation.
Improved landing pages.
Increases our offerings as a marketing agency.

Alternatives Considered

Pardot

SharpSpring is a fraction of the cost of Pardot but easily offers everything we needed from Pardot. Again, the ability to resell and use the software to surpass our own costs is a huge bonus and something that was never even remotely possible with Pardot. In addition, SharpSpring is easier to use.

Other Software Used

Basecamp, Dashlane, Google Data Studio

Likelihood to Recommend

SharpSpring is excellent for selling marketing automation to clients. The license is cheap enough to sell, but expensive enough to easily cover our own SharpSpring costs and become another valuable service we can upsell our clients on. It's also nice that the clients get a decent CRM included as well.

Great option with a bit of room to grow
