If you have MS Dynamics CRM, this is the automation platform for you and your operations. Act-On Software easily syncs with dynamics, and we've never had a problem with this since we set ours up years ago. If you use a different CRM, I'd check to see if other options might make more sense. Having that ability for the systems to seamlessly talk is critical.

It has resolved the fact that creating a landing page is just a few steps and with little time. But I would like it to provide easier photo editing since many times I had to crop the photos in another app and then download it there

Cons
  • Building email and landing page templates are difficult, the drag and drop builder is not straightforward, and requires coding knowledge
  • The workflow tool is cumbersome and not as intuitive as I'd expect a best in class marketing software's to be
  • Domain connections and domain management functionality made it difficult to manage multiple company domains and subdomains for pages

  • I could add additional page options on landing pages to give landing pages 'depth.' Example: Liken an 'about us' page ect.
  • I could use a 2-part video tutorial for newcomers to get started even faster.
  • I could use the ability with landing pages to create a custom footer with privacy, terms and conditions, and FDCPA.

It's my single biggest asset in my current role. With limited resources, its enabled Anachron to punch well above our weight marketing wise and although we're still at the beginning of our journey I know the system can scale with us

Usability
It's good, but not quite brilliant. Some parts of the interface are still a bit outdated. The product has been evolving very fast, though, and I believe in a few months it will be up there with the best of them, interface wise as well.

Reliability and Availability
I have always found them quick to respond to my query by web inquiry. In those instances when I call, I have always reached help quickly. They are conscientious and skilled in discussing my concern and finding a solution to my problem. Other tech organizations should use Act-On as a model for top-notch customer service.

Support Rating
Since we start using Act-on for ourselves and our clients, we have been supported very well. Often we need to integrate with legacy systems and we find the support team on our side during the whole endeavor. Always asking if they can help us further, always willing to do a better job. The support of Act-On is one of the main differentiators

Dan D. was great. He took the time to understand how I needed the program to run, and was very flexible to our special CRM setup.

The system is very user friendly, I think we were up and running within a day or so of having the product. It took very few online training for me to learn a large chunk of the functionality of this system.

Implementation Rating
What impressed me most is that Act-On showed full committment in making our implementation successful, even when it required additional support from their team. This gave me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings. Most other software software vendors are not anywhere close to being this responsive and effective

Alternatives Considered
We chose Act-On for its ability to support our customers within a single account. The Marketing Network is a huge benefit to our business and the offerings we provide to our customers. In previously working with Hubpsot and Salesforce, we found the support to be lacking - often being referred to a forum or landing page rather than getting hands-on guided help from a knowledgeable person on their team. We LOVE Act-On and the team that they have servicing our account!

Leadpages drag and drop builder is 'bulky' and not as user friendly as Zoho LandingPage and the sample pages all look the same while with unbounce, unbounce caps you at monthly site visitors, is a lot higher in cost per month and lacks advanced reporting for the entry level package.

Scalability
Before I feel like I need more features, the Act-On customer service reps are contacting me telling about new features as part of my account.

Return on Investment
  • Positive- quick setup for webinars between 3 different tools, made it easy to do in high volume
  • Negative- lots of processes with the designer tools that made email/landing page design take longer than it should have, costing man hours
  • Positive- email automation with different types of campaigns we could have flowing at once or could span across multiple audience segments made it so we could consistently create touch points and increase our engagement, thus our ROI over time

  • Zoho LandingPage allow us to save two days in downtime (man hours per day) that an outsourcer would have asked to build out the landing pages that we wanted.
  • Zoho LandingPage saved us $65 per landing page (as per the average quote we received to do the work) in freelance fees to build out the landing pages that we wanted.
  • Zoho LandingPage allow us to be up and running with a live landing page in 30 minutes (speed to value.) Allowing us to get a professional looking landing page up and running quickly. Also allowing us to advance to the next step in our top-of-funnel buildout quickly.
