    I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
    automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
    businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
    generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
    consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
    Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
    doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
    help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
    available to help close deals successfully.

    Pros
    Drip Global, Inc
    • Simplicity + power. Drip is one of the quickest platforms to use in terms of setting up simple drip email sequences. Yet it also packs enormous power if you need to do complex automation.
    • Drip's direct integrations with other systems mean you can easily create hyper-personalized communications and anybody can set this up.
    • Drip's Javascript embed is easy to setup and great for helping to build deeper insights into customer behavior as well as triggering automation.

    Cons
    Drip Global, Inc
    • Possibly more email design templates for "new" users to automation, HTML coding, integrations, webhooks, etc.
    • Any supported integration partners are always good to see. They have expanded in this area, recently.
    • Some sort of WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop email editor, wouldn't hurt.
    • Sometimes, when trying to implement advanced HTML coding to an email template, the code doesn't stick, save or format as "native HTML."

    • Some of the field mappings between Leads and Deals are not always perfect.
    • Social media interactions are not captured (i.e. you cannot make a case from a post)

    Again, this is dependent on the use case. If you are a small- to medium-sized business that doesn't have a sales team, this is likely a great product for you. It is also a good price compared to larger enterprise software. Other software I have used worked better for other companies I worked for, but Drip fits best for my current company.

    Zoho has a good price point. I would encourage that the add-on pricing be less aggressive.
