January 14, 2023

Pros

I love the integration. It integrates with other software we use for our marketing quite well.

### "Good program"

September 17, 2020

3.0

Overall experience is good, I can schedule a 1/1 call but usually takes a week to get on the schedule. I'm a visual learner and have to do things hands on, so not being tech savvy, it's a bit of a challenge (for me anyway). I need to be able to reach someone immediately & have them look at my screen and work with me directly when I call because I'm in the middle of a project and can't put it off for their schedule.

Pros

Customer service is easy to reach by phone up until 1:30 Central Time and they are very helpful. I like the categorizing of the "lists",then "tags".

Cons

Phone customer service cuts off at about 1:30 my time and I don't do "chat", I like to reach someone immediately while working on my project. It doesn't have a mailing/labels program, so I still have to use Excel Spreadsheets for my mailings and have to keep records in 2 different spots! (ugh).

Reason for choosing ActiveCampaign

My web/social media advisor recommended it, set it up for me and told me all of the benefits.

### "Hard company to work with"

December 8, 2017

1.0

The tech support is the worst, i try calling for 3 month no one pick up the phone it sims to me like they see the caller ID on the phone and they don't pick up the phone, had problems sending out email and setting up the picture, I sent them a nasty email and they told me we cant give you any support because you only pay some amount a month i was not told that, i only had 50 contacts and only sent out a email 3 to 4 time a year, well we went with Constant Contact they did me a favor what a difference the nicest people you can deal with. there program is a lat friendly to work with and someone picks up the phone within a few. I highly recommend Constant Contact.

Cons

The tech support is the worst and there platform not friendly to work with. not a good company we don't like the tech support.

### "ActiveCampaign 5 Star Review"

December 10, 2020

Pros

My marketing team highly suggested that we switch to ActiveCampaign to manage campaign leads and email marketing. I'm happy I gave in!

Cons

We haven't been using the product that long, but no dislikes yet :)

Switched from

### "Powerful tool that falls falt in important ways"

September 29, 2020

2.0

I'd be pleased if I never encountered it again. I had a client select it, who then blamed me for the issues with the API. It's frankly defective software.

Pros

Powerful set of tools to automate communications with customers and prospects (once you successfully get them in the system).

Cons

There are endemic issues with the API that prevent users from being added correctly if you have had them in lists previously. I'm not talking about spam prevention or security features--I mean that the API doesn't' allow users that want to be added to lists to be successfully added.

### "ActiveCampaign a pleasure to use"

November 28, 2020

5.0

I enjoy using it. It's easy and simple to navigate and does what I want it to. It links with other software well such as my website and Facebook so I don't have to think too hard about joining the dots! I would recommend it. The only other ESP I've used in MailChimp and I do find that a lot more clumsy and hard to navigate

Pros

I really like the email automation - it makes my life so much easier and helps streamline my business so I am not wasting time on unnecessary tasks

Cons

I don't really have any -- can be very slow to load a page at times

### "Great for businesses needing an integrated CRM, email platform + automated workflows"

December 10, 2019

5.0

It was very positive. I wasn't with the company much longer so unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it past the initial setup.

Pros

Very feature-rich. Everything integrates well. On-boarding was great and lots of training and help setting up the platform and moving data over. Impressive as it wasn't insanely expensive. A great option to consider if you're looking for the next step.

Cons

The more features the more of a learning curve. It's the downside of needing something more complex but not the fault of ActiveCampaign. Like I said, their onboarding was great.

### "Kim's ActiveCampain review"

December 26, 2021

4.0

So far I only use this software for email marketing, and it does a good job. The analytics it provides are quite useful.

Pros

I like that this is a relatively inexpensive way to get started on my email list, without the need to move on to a different email marketing system as I grow, unlike some of the other free/inexpensive options out there.

Cons

I found that it's not very intuitive. I was able to figure out everything I needed to do, but it wasn't super easy to figure out.

### "So far, so good!"

October 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

I've been using ActiveCampaign for about 6 months and I love it so far. Easy to use, automation works well, and the reports are helpful.

Cons

I wish there was an option to add images in the text box while typing instead of having to split the text up to add an image box.

October 7, 2020

10/10. Great software to get me started with Email Marketing.

Pros

As I was starting off my business, this was the first email marketing software I used. I love how easy it is to use and how it integrates with so many other apps other there. And for the price, this is a must buy software for anyone who is interested in using Email Marketing to grow their business

Cons

Not really. I love everything about ActiveCampaign and am a happy customer.

November 9, 2023

### "Muy buen software para e-mail marketing"

May 26, 2021

4.0

En lo referente a las campañas de e-mailing es muy completo, nos permite además medir en detalle todos los resultados

Pros

Estamos conformes con Active Campaign y lo utilizamos para gestionar todas nuestras campañas de e-mail marketing. Principalmente destacamos la facilidad con la que se puede segmentar en distintos grupos y alcanzar diferentes públicos lo que aumenta considerablemente la tasa de apertura.

Cons

Nos gustaría que tuviera más funciones, ya que solo lo utilizamos para las campañas de e-mailing, lo que nos obliga a utilizar otros Software para gestionar toda la comunicación.

### "Good Combo CRM/MAP But Has Faults"

April 19, 2018

3.0

Pros

It is a all in one solution with a fairly easy to use interface. Love the kanban style deal tracking. It is also relatively easy to create nurture campaigns.

Cons

The CRM and it's Chrome extension seems to drop a lot of communications. Moreover it all tracks communication with one person in the deal when many are involved in the purchase decision. Need better tracking.

### "My better choice of email marketing software"

December 9, 2016

4.0

Have switched to Active Campaign from Mailchimp by the time we had 1800 email accounts. I liked the big variety of automation events and the newly developed very simple sales CRM module which is appropriate for small business. I still like the interface style of Mailchimp more, but with Active Campaign for the same money I get more features and functionalities, and in the top pricing plan, there are even more features I am not familiar with today... Which I like most is the top customer service I get from Active Campaign via Skype, phone, live chat or email. Somehow they really make me feel supported by them.

Pros

great set of feature and automation starting events

Cons

with the greater number of functionalities, the complexity grows too

Our overall experience with Active Campaign has been very positive. Very great uptime and also emails and marketing sends on time and withe ease.

Pros

We love that Active Campaign has easy ways to streamline automations and can handle more than one segmentation. It also integrates very well with our online store. The email marketing tool offers flexibility and has great customer support.

Cons

Getting setup and working with sending campaigns at first can be a little confusing. It's also a big jump in price ice you do wan to integrate with other online platforms.

June 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

AC was very easy to integrate into my WordPress website & GravityForms. Both of which were important to be able to use some of the automation features that come at a significant discount compared to other MA platforms.

Cons

Only con so far is the fact that when users rise - there's a manual check-in for billing vs something more automated.

Reason for choosing ActiveCampaign

Price & features.
