Autoklose vs. Pinpointe On-Demand

I would recommend Autoklose to smaller teams that do not have the tools and processes in place for conducting sales outreach or business development activities. I would also recommend it to Sales development reps who are relying on manually managing their sales outreach without the benefits of automation. I'd also recommend it if they are trying to do the above while using a CRM like Pipedrive, as Autoklose works well with some CRMs.

They did a good job setting up a dashboard for me with my many small accounts. It makes it easy to go from one account to the other.

• It is helping in editing, managing, and send[ing] out large marketing campaigns.
• It is easy to handle multiple emails in appropriate sequence.
• Our company [has been] using this for a very long time. It is one of the perfect email solutions we found for our organization.
• I have been very much impressed by their support staff.

• Email editor
• Testing and reports
• Support
• Good IP reputation to ensure deliverability
• Tools to help reduce spam score for outgoing emails

• The system is not designed to send out hundreds of emails within the hour. Thus if you have timely information, and you have a large list, it will generally take many hours to execute.
• Related to the above, timing of email delivery does jot exist nor can it be customized by timezone.

• Depending on the amount, when I am in the middle of uploading a list of contacts I get bumped out and have to submit a request to increase my dataset. That being said, our company as a whole is happy with what Pinpointe provides us with as is.

Pinpointe On-Demand is a critical component of our marketing infrastructure and we will continue to use it to support our email marketing requirements

It is well set out from a user interface perspective and once you understand how it works you understand the power and the logic of how it is done. Like any software it helps to be a frequent user, but Autoklose lets you set up campaigns in the shortest possible time based on experience with other systems that I have used.

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.

They are quick to respond to requests, usually within an hour. If they don't have an immediate fix to a problem, they let me know what the status is and what they are doing about a request. In some cases, if the development team needs to be involved because a bug is found, they have fixed and patched the system same day. Rarely do I ever get that kind of customer support response with any other company. They don't have a premium support tier because they treat every request with the same level of professionalism and response time (again, to at least let you know it was received and an actual person is looking at it, even if they are busy with other requests).

Jelena is amazing! Very knowledgable. Great instructor.

It is extremely easy to implement and start using right away

Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, and I'm able to give them great scores for their product and their service. Salesloft was less robust, and Mailshake wasn't sophisticated enough for my needs.

Whereas MailChimp felt very simple (both as a pro and a con), Pinpointe allowed us to achieve the same simplicity when we wanted it, and to be able to go well beyond that simplicity when we needed that instead. Constant Contact was our original platform for email marketing, but after using Pinpointe, we easily made the decision to switch given the reporting, the constant addition of new, requested features by users, and the deliverability of emails via Pinpointe. We do still use Constant Contact, but only for event management.

It's expensive to have a single seat for each salesperson, so the alias feature will be the perfect addition to this product.

• This product saves my business development manger at least 2 hours per day.
• The weekly digest reports give us a nice look at how the campaign is performing.
• Having the analytics for the whole campaign in an easy-to-read format gives a quick snapshot of the campaign activity.

• Our ROI has gone up significantly since using Pinpointe.
• We are able to use the coding to implement a join form on our website directly so we don't have to download from our website and upload to Pinpointe each time we want to add our contacts.
• Our emails show up white-labeled so it is our own branding on all emails.
