    EngageBay Inc.
    I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from Marketo or Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

    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.

    Usability
    EngageBay Inc.
    EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

    EngageBay Inc.
    Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.

    Alternatives Considered
    EngageBay Inc.
    Salesforce and Marketo are the strongest CRM products out there in the space. The drawback they have is that they are immensely expensive and complex to set-up / use. Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with Pardot. EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.

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