GetResponse vs. Ortto

GetResponse is good for marketing automation newbies that want a powerful platform without a steep learning curve. It appears to have a strong set of tools for creating automated sequences, but it's not your solution for large enterprise usage. Also, seeing as how competitive the market's become, while it's not expensive per se, it is a bit on the pricey side relative to some.

It's a great tool for email marketing and making automation flows with those emails. Also push your communication to multiple platforms (social media, SMS, WhatsApp, etc). It's easy to learn so for us easy to teach companies the basics of marketing automation. The clean interface and not to many functions don't make the tool too overwhelming. So for us, one of the better "get your feet wet" tools.

• If you understand coding the ability to use dynamic content based on smart searches was very useful.
• The drop and drag workflows were very easy to create and use
• Allowed for simple automation and nurture campaigns to occur off of events

• Very easy to use automation builder with many great options and integrations. Lets us tailor incredibly precise campaigns through use of Autopilot's own features, plus its tight integrations with data from sources like Segment.
• Easy and powerful email editing and creation built-in. No need for email template coding.
• Autopilot allows marketers to have full control and implement new web forms to capture leads quickly with its automatic form detection. No need to save custom form data to our own backend saves our development team time.

• Lists are rejected on baseless grounds.
• They recommend a service to clean lists and even after being cleaned, emails and lists are rejected.
• They purged 80% of our email list because they were not interacting regularly enough with our emails.
• Their drag and drop editor is set up poorly, if you have similar look and feel emails there is no way to know which you are in.
• Often email templates do not save and you have to start over.
• Sometimes scheduled emails don't even send.

• Limited Design Customization: If you're an experienced marketer and are used to the unlimited customization capabilities of larger platforms (or coding your own templates), you might find Autopilot's options to be limiting. It's great for a beginner user who shouldn't be encumbered with those options, but I could see if being frustrating for others.

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as good as any of these other products. Especially in the area of the visual builder, I honestly think it is just about as good as Keep. And it is better than some of these other products. Again, keeping in mind the cost and the niche GetResponse fills, it stacks up very well against the other products we have used.

Autopilot is designed to make the business money more than it costs and we actually get an impressive range of marketing automation features in return for our money. It is a serious platform that is capable of building heavyweight automations. There is a complete set of features that teams use to create email campaigns and automatically send emails.

• Our marketing emails have been much more professional, scheduled, beautiful, and manageable since switching AWAY from GetResponse, so in that sense the platform did not provide the kind of ROI we'd prefer.
• For delivering our regular daily newsletter, GetResponse has served us well and has delivered at an above-average rate to our mailing list.

• Not sure. I cannot put a $ on it for ROI as I was the administrator and not part of the team that procured it. Time-wise I would say I spent less time using it than I previously had used in CloudPortal Services Manager.
