### "The Go To Option for Emailing"

October 6, 2020

5.0

My experience with ActiveCampaign has been quite easy. I use it for my self and for some customers to which I recommend ActiveCampaign.

Pros

The most I like about Active Campaign is it's automation features. Befor ActiveCampaign I was looking after for a Eail MArketing Software with automation capabilities, and when I read about ActiveCamapign I switched from another software to AC.

Cons

I have not discovered any cons in ActiveCampaign so far. I'm not telling it's perfect at all, but there are no cons form me until now. May be I can consider as a cons the gap in price between my current plan to the next plan, but I think it is worth the price.

[AWeber](https://www.capterra.com/p/95949/AWeber-Email-Marketing/)

AWeber doesn't have automation and if you wanted you could do it via a plugin for a few extra bucks, but I found it would be better to have it on the same platform as it is in ActiveCampaign.

### "Smart, intuitive platform"

September 16, 2020

5.0

They have the most amazing customer service team, they're always there when I need help with something. The switch over to ActiveCampaign was also extremely well done, I had support of a team member leading me through every step, advising me on the best set up for my needs.

Pros

I like the amount of data it captures to help me with my marketing, and I enjoy the ability to have an intuitive system of tagging and ranking my subscribers so I can see who is highly engaged and who may need some extra help to engage. I also really appreciate the higher deliverability rates and the amazing customer service.

Cons

I wish I could set the font and the font size as a template when I'm writing emails, ie have it default to the font I want, instead of it going back to another font.

Reason for choosing ActiveCampaign

I was familiar with the platform, and felt it had more features for the same cost.

I was worried about deliverability and other technical issues that MailerLite was having.

### "Only great experiences "

August 26, 2020

5.0

Excellent

Pros

Active Campaign is easy to use and simple to understand. I have managed to pick up a lot of how to use it without additional training. The 1 on1 customer support that they offer is unlimited and amazing. A great program that works well and easy to use. Love the free downloadable premade automations too.

Cons

Not sure to be honest. I think there are many things that I don't know about the software that I probably should to utilise it to the max.

Switched from

[AWeber](https://www.capterra.com/p/95949/AWeber-Email-Marketing/)

I had heard such great things about active campaign that was my first choice, I was persuaded to use Aweber by a developer and came back to active campaign.

### "Best CRM software out there "

December 23, 2022

5.0

There is a reason why ActiveCampaign is (perhaps) the most well-known.Overall: Their excellent customer care representatives, who record screen shots throughout your chat with them to address problems, have eliminated any challenges we have encountered since switching to this email software. The software itself is the best email autoresponder we've ever used.Positives: Making the switch to ActiveCampaign was a wise business move. It has been simple to create automations and flows that are triggered by user action, and I appreciate how responsive their customer care is.Cons: This software has a steep learning curve. Many of their written instructions on their website fall short of providing me with the answers I needed.

Pros

I like the fact that it is very effective.

Cons

It is not beginner friendly and hard to use if you have no experience.

### "Best software to keep track of your leads"

July 30, 2021

5.0

It has been great and i hope i will keep using it for many more years.

Pros

What i like the most is that you have everything to keep under control your database, your leads. When sending out an email campaign, it is so easy to set it up that even someone without experience could use it

Cons

I really like everything, so I wouldn’t say anything bad. Marketing automation is just great on this software.

### "Intuitive and seamless"

November 21, 2018

5.0

ActiveCampaign makes my email marketing simpler and as easy as it can be. The dashboard lets me see analytics in one spot and the customer service is very helpful.

Pros

I love how intuitive the setup is- I was an email marketing software newbie and MailChimp drove me batty, so when ActiveCampaign was recommended, I was wary. It has exceeded my expectations and has been a great experience! Even when I can't read the directions correctly and set something up incorrectly, the customer service team is quick to help, and even send a video of what to do in my account so I can just follow the steps.

Cons

I would like extended customer service hours- I do my email marketing at the end of the day and there often isn't a live tech to chat to after 7 pm EST.

### "Best mkt automation software available"

January 15, 2021

5.0

Very good software. I've used Hubspot, Pipedrive and others before. AC is the best.

Pros

Very easy to use and set up. My team started using it quickly once training was done.

Cons

I didn't found it easy to sync the emails sent and received to a customer on AC. I don't know if this feature exists, but if it does I still don't know how to use. I would like to send emails manually for a contact on sales pipeline from AC contact page (once I click a deal and then click on the contact this page is shown). I'd like to send emails manually on this page and would like the history to stay on the same place that shows the automations emails that were sent to this contact.

### "Effective all-in-one email marketing tool "

February 7, 2023

5.0

Overall, it was a great experience. It's a good platform for marketing agencies looking to automate marketing tasks. It's simple to use.

Pros

Nice tool for creating and distributing sales reports, as well as for data sharing. The platform includes simple budgeting features, great project cost planning capabilities, and is highly dependable when obtaining company information from many websites.

Cons

Our team spent extra money using Zapier to complete the integration processes with platforms that had no connectivity, which made the software more expensive.

December 27, 2022

5.0

Using ActiveCampaign has been a great experience overall so far, and I would recommend the program to most businesses!

Pros

We primarily use ActiveCampaign for contact & campaign management. We love the segmented list abilities, contact tagging & sequencing, campaign automation, etc. Would absolutely recommend!

Cons

Some of the list segmentation commands can be confusing/not super intuitive, causing us to make mistakes here and there.

### "Excellent Targeting an Marketing Tool"

August 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

The excellent marketing and targeting options. The very detailed automation features.

Cons

The only con is not about the software features, it is about the fact that the deep data integration sometimes disconnects (we are using WooCommerce) and fails do connect again. The support wasn't very helpful with that. It happened several times and supports only solution was "disconnect and connect again". This procedure taks sometimes 3 (!!!) weeks.

I love how Active Campaign allows me to create actions for our members and users based on their behavior and we can automate our tasks more easily.

Pros

It was recommended by trusted marketing colleagues. It easily integrated with our shopping cart, course delivery and software delivery systems. It has the ability to automate the journey of our buyers and prospects to help them onboard into our eco-system.

Cons

learning curve is too steep. Don't feel there's an easy way to learn the software.

### "The best CRM in the market, year on year."

January 2, 2023

5.0

Excellent tools are provided by Active Campaign for organizing and automating email communication within a company. They offer a complete set of development APIs as well as documentation that includes instructions, tutorials, and startup recipes. Additionally, given the feature set for a small to medium sized user/contact base, the price is fair.

Pros

I like the functionality whilst it is very effective.

Cons

The learning curb for beginner’s is difficult & needs a persons attention.
