It works great for us in the education space and delivering our curriculum to our clients. It's nice to have some of the extra access features and to have the community feature, so that works great for us. At the same time, Kajabi lacks some of the specificity we need, and I don't believe it is technically geared directly to the education space, so we will likely switch providers in the next couple of years to something that is more robust and relevant to our business model.

Pike13 would be well suited for an organization whose clients use the platform in person, not for a virtual service. This could be ideal for a client whose website doesn't need to be integrated with Pike13.

Cons
  • They've improved leaps and bounds, but their CRM is still subpar
  • They have great uptime, but it could be better
  • Affordability - I went in hoping to use their CRM feature and cut costs, but their CRM is lacking
  • They offer a shopping cart, but in terms of being able to customize and payment option, they have a ways to go.

  • The ability of the reporting function is strong, but the interface is not user friendly.
  • The payroll function would be more powerful if it was integrated with main payroll providers.

We are committed to it and once we get "really good" at using it, I think it is a excellent platform and links well to Hubspot. At present, we are still just barely scratching the surface with our use of its features

Usability
The back-end system can be used efficiently and has flexibility. It doesn't have a lot of unnecessary functions or un user-friendly features. We have had no issues using the system and would continue to use it with the current functions and features. I would rate it as user-friendly yet flexible

Support Rating
The Kajabi Support people are helpful, fast and knowledgeable. I usually call in a panic - because I have lost something, messed something or am on a deadline. Sometimes we speak, or we do a chat. Always my angst is eliminated. I often thank the person for being "so patient" with me. LOL

I haven't used the support at Pike13 directly. Our franchisor's IT department serves as an intermediary and seeks support at Pike13 on our behalf when required.

These platforms are big complex pieces of software. Mor recently - Kajabi provides a done for you example which you can borrow and customise - but those were not available when we started.

Kajabi is more adjusted for learning needs. While Tilda and Wix can help to create very customizable designs for landing pages and great checkout experiences, Kajabi is more convenient for creating learning sequences. The best way is to use all these platforms together, so they can support the optional customer journey from landing page to learning on the course.

Return on Investment
  • Saved around $100 a month thanks to combining several online platforms into one
  • Saved dozens of hours not having to upload videos and images thanks to the Google Drive integration and URL Import
  • Building pages takes a little longer than other page builders due to how many clicks it takes to exit and enter editing settings.

  • The notification of scheduled events, helps ensure employees know when their schedule has been modified, which cuts down on employees arriving late, etc.
  • The notifications to customers of when their payment methods are expiring, etc helps to ensure they can update their information through the customer portal themselves which cuts down on administrative time.
