    VanillaSoft
    If someone only runs a campaign using email and telephone communication, Autoklose is perfect, and I highly recommend it. If someone uses a more diverse set of tools and wants a more complex type of sequence, Autoklose does not allow their users to program communication tools that some other tools and software allow.

    I had problems sending and communicating to one hundred and fifty (150) clients. I was supposed to send them information about the ongoing migration and training for new suppliers for our new program. Since the emails and client information is a lot, I had to seek for help. That's where Mailmeteor came in, I was advised by a colleague and I have been using it ever since.

    Cons
    VanillaSoft
    • AutoKlose uses your own email, (e.g. Microsoft Outlook), so it runs the risk of exceeding the Microsoft Message Rate Limit, which can be problematic for your Outlook account.
    • Additional throttling limits for the SMTP Authentication protocol are:
    • 30 messages per minute
    • Recipient rate limit of 10,000 recipients per day.
    • Exceeding these limits will cause the following issues:
    • Exceeding the per minute limit causes email delivery delays, any excess in message submission will be throttled and successively carried over to the following minutes.
    • Exceeding the per day limit causes the following error message:
    • 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:SubmissionQuotaExceededException.

    • The website is too simple.
    • You need to accurately arrange email placement, won't accept separation as simple as "coma".
    • Though it may provide real time assessment on the status of the communication sent, most of the time especially when encountering errors, it doesn't provide exact info on what the errors were.

    Usability
    VanillaSoft
    Whether it's setting up integrations, creating email campaigns, managing conversations with prospects, Autoklose is a well-designed tool that provides clarity along the way for users to find their bearings, and understand what to do. The help documentation is excellent, the support is great, but the tool is built in a way that simply makes sense when you're using it.

    As mentioned, on a daily basis, communication serves a vital role though my job. That's why having a partner that could provide assistance with the task that makes most of my overall workload, keeps my mind at ease and will always provide a breeze in progress. In every milestone that we hit, truly Mailmeteor is part of it.

    Our Autoklose rep is amazing! Jelena has always gotten back to us within 24 hours, despite living on a different continent. She is completely proficient with the tool and is usually able to answer our questions with a brief email or short virtual meeting.

    I think that I have already said it, Autoklose has much better support and is really quick to set up and use compared with any of the other systems that I have used over the years.
