Fragile Product Design Resulted in Lost Revenue

Likeliness to Recommend

2 /10

What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?

Cost was a factor, it's less expensive than HubSpot.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Email automations for new contacts allows them to get more information from us with no manual intervention.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Active Campaign has an extremely fragile design in their automations which caused my company to lose $10,000's in potential revenue. I created an online form, which website visiters can fill out to get more information (or a trial) from our company. This is a major source of high quality customer leads. By simply making a slight change of wording to a form option , the entire automation broke, which we did not realize for 6+ months. There was no warning and nothing in the user guide indicating a problem. Companies were requesting information from us and we were never notified because of the broken automation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I can no longer recommend AC because of the fragile design. If you are a small business relying on email automations, you are taking a risk with Active Campaign. The lost revenue due to AC would have easily paid for a competitor like Hub Spot. The pipeline feature is not very user friendly, and if you expect people to be in the system regularly, the slowness will frustrate user adoption. Be careful.

Pros

  • Transparent
  • Security Protects
  • Helps Innovate
  • Acts with Integrity

Cons

  • Less Reliable
  • Less Effective Service
  • Vendor Friendly Policies

Easy Solution - Great Drag and Drop

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?

The drag and drop feature when creating email campaigns was the selling point for us. It's made things stupid simple and anyone in our organization is capable of creating campaigns easily.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Like I said before, the drag and drop campaign builder is fantastic. It also integrates in our website seamlessly and has made moving deals through our pipeline efficient and easy.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The website builder. It's pretty bad and simple. Ok if you maybe want to create a landing page, but beyond that I wouldn't use it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Really think about the capabilities of your team. If you want something anyone can pick up really quickly, this is your product. If you need to segment easily, this is your product. If you want to move deals through a pipeline easily, again this is your product. If you're looking for super fancy, can do everything from CRM to Website building, keep looking. But this is a great tool for it's price point.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
