It is critical in Sales to understand if someone received and read the email you sent, and Mailtrack is perfect for this. It is not a critical tool when you are receiving emails but definitely a critical tool when sending emails and you need to know the status and to understand if they even read what you sent.
I found it pretty good - we were able to put email templates and campaigns together almost immediately. The reason I gave it an 8 is because if you want to edit those templates, the saving and making sure they were part of the campaigns was a little tricky and not intuitive.
I would rate Mailtrack's overall usability as a ten out of ten. The reasons for this are actually quite simple. For now, only I have been using Mailtrack. However, looking at the rather easy to use characteristics Mailtrack has to offer, I would not hesitate to recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.
Quick support. They offer very extensive and detailed tutorials on how to use the tool, as well as how to succeed in sending emails the right way. It probably reduces the number of support tickets and general support needs. The videos make it very easy to use their solutions. Great way to educate new clients.
This rating is fully deserved for the reasons I mentioned earlier. Namely, firstly, ease of use. Secondly, the reliability and speed of the application. Thirdly, the unobtrusiveness of its functioning. Fourth, the positive effect that the application has on the process of management communication between company employees. Fifth, the overall usability of the application due to the minimum settings.
You can use Mailchimp or SendGrid for similar use, with Mailchimp the email automation is limited, and SendGrid holds up quite well. However, Mailshake is strictly designed and well equipped for email outreach and unusually cold emails, and its usability is second to none.
The biggest alternatives I've tried are whole email systems - Polymail and Newton. Newton was bar none the best email handling application AND the best email tracker, however, unfortunately, they went out of business at the end of summer 2018. Mailtrack is different because it only does one thing, it tracks email. Without Newton (Polymail is also iOS only, and expensive), Mailtrack is really the only decent solution for email tracking without buying a big system like a CRM. I didn't want to pay $100+/month for user seats, I just wanted to track my own emails for some better intel. That's what Mailtrack does, and that's what Mailtrack is priced to do.
I'd say it was a net negative for us because the initiative did not lead to sales for us. It was probably HOW we were using it, and not the fault of the product itself. If you have luck with cold emails, and just need a new platform, Mailshake could be a great, and inexpensive option. Our loss was mostly employee time, and learning what doesn't work for us is a positive in the end.
After I started using the Mailtrack, the responses to my emails increased by at least 30%.
Once I submitted/sent an important email and got the notification that the email was sent, I feel safe that my email/request has been processed/viewed without being worried that the email went to the spam box.
