It's really helped modernize our content strategy and lead generation experience. It's been easier to adopt for our users with a little design background. Pros I love the ability to track readership, create interactive content and keep content up-to-date without worrying about version control. Cons When building content in Turtl there are limits to how you place the content. This takes some getting used to. Alternatives considered [Ceros](https://www.capterra.com/p/130931/Ceros/) Reason for choosing Turtl Turtl had a much simpler interface. The built-in templates made adoption faster and easier. Review Source WG William G. Marketing Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "5\* Service from a SaaS provider on the up" September 15, 2020 4.0 When we first engaged with Turtl we could see this was a company on the rise. I first encountered the platform when attending a conference where Turtl's charismatic and passionate \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] gave a talk. I knew I wanted to talk to them and find out more and so far this feeling has been and truly justified! We knew we had the internal capability to design and produce great content but Turtl has put this on steroids and really given our sales and marketing teams a creative license to capture attention in style. Pros Turtl allows us to quickly create great looking content and measure its success in real-time. Since utilising Turtl in late 2019 we've seen our lead-gen sky rocket as potential customers have lapped up the the high-quality whitepapers, eBooks, information sheets, cred decks and more that we've produced at scale. Turtl's support team has been with us every step of the way and it's a true partnership. Cons Getting to grips with Turtl does involve a learning curve but it's well worth the time and investment. Accessibility and readability on mobile is an inferior experience to desktop in my opinion and you need to be careful about certain aspects of this when designing. However, this is a minor sidepoint right now. Alternatives considered [Ceros](https://www.capterra.com/p/130931/Ceros/)[Joomag](https://www.capterra.com/p/154366/Joomag/) Reason for choosing Turtl Turtl's team were great from the outset and took the time to get to know our business and our aims. We could see we'd be in good hands and not just another buyer. They genuinely care about developing their product so it can be the best it can be. Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi William, Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We're so pleased that you spoke to the team after hearing Nick speak and it's great to see that your lead-gen has skyrocketed after utilising Turtl.

Thank you again from the Turtl Team! DM Daniel M.

I was attracted to Turtl's promise of secure and interactive document sharing. The team began using the platform for creating and sharing marketing materials, project plans, and research findings. Pros \- Turtl emphasizes security and privacy in content collaboration. - Teams can collaborate on content creation in real-time Cons Turtl has limited integrations with other tools and platforms that I commonly use, which affect my workflow efficiency.

We've rolled it out to the whole business and our clients are really impressed with the new style of presenting our data. Pros Even if you have little tech knowledge, it's possible to create professional looking reports & documents. The support team are amazing for if you need advice or help, and will even work with you to improve the look of documents. Really changed the way we produce and present our reports. Cons It can be a little glitchy, usually when new functions are released, but the help-team are quick to help. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Our presentations looked quite dated, and it was difficult to keep a uniform template.

Ability to add lead capture into all sales content. Content creation process integrated as part of the sales process. Sales content created based on actual analytics and performance. Pros It's an attractive and practical tool for showcasing sales collateral. We are able to translate the unique citizenM experience into an online visual story. The combination of functionalities in a template (pics, video, surveys, quotes, etc.) adds another level of interaction and fun to the stories to read. Images look really amazing. The stories are quickly and easily deliver to clients. No heavy files. Cons Stories need to be updated individually, which sometimes can be time consuming. It is not a deal breaker though, as updating our content is really easy. Review Source Celexsy A.

I'd highly recommend it to any business out there Pros Analytics, ease of use, new cool features on a frequent basis, and very friendly support staff Cons Pricing is a bit high but you get what you pay for, good quality software is usually pricey Alternatives considered [Foleon](https://www.capterra.com/p/189247/Foleon/) Reason for choosing Turtl Better UI, easier to use, more features Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Vasileios, Thank you so much for your brilliant review.

This format is very dynamic, visually attractive and capable of making a strong impact with our readers who are inundated with a lot of content these days. Our internal newsletter has garnered a lot of interest and increased readership since we moved to Turtl. We have infact led the trail for a lot of other internal who were inspired & joined Turtl after seeing our newsletter! :) This format breaks the monotony of top to bottom scrolling and bring back the magazine style of reading that I love. Pros \- I like the ease of use and ability to see what the interface will look like in real time. - Ability to make your content stand out in a dynamic way - Interactive capability with the readers by engaging them via videos, quotes, and polls Cons I would like to see the ability of our readers being able to leave back comments within the stories along with the ability of creating a discussion thread in response to a story to capture comments that others can participate in. Review Source Response from Turtl April 30, 2019 Hi, thank you for leaving us a review! It's brilliant to hear that your newsletter has increased in readership since you've created it in Turtl.

VR Verified Reviewer Research Director Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Turtl is the best platform for content curation" January 31, 2019 5.0 Hi, happy to be a point of contact for anyone considering this software. I've used for two years and I'm very happy with it. I use it for a large retail client. We publish competitive and trend reporting "decks" on it and the client likes it. My observation - client dig that it isn't another PPT or Word doc. Rather, it is this cool interactive platform that is designed to work on mobile. And praise for my contact at Turtl, too. She helps m tweak my design each month. Pros Easy to use. Sophisticated end-result. Turtl team is very responsive team that helps you use the tool. Cons No issues come to mind on this. I've looked at other vendors in this space and I think Turtl is the leader in terms of design, file type uploads, end-user design, etc. Review Source Response from Turtl February 11, 2019 Hi, thanks for leaving us a review!

HS Hanns S. Executive Marketing Advisor Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Re-thinking content communiaction" April 26, 2019 4.0 Using Turtl to create content in cloud/analytics-based regional executive marketing advisory and social listening/positioning with good success, I think it is a must to consider in the field if experience and content attribution are in your focus. Pros Turtl-generated content offers great experience, intuitive readability and immerse analytics. Setup speed, use and customer support are impressive. Suggestions for improvement are taken up very constructively in dialogue. Cons Some functionalities could still be more intuitive. Pricing is still very much geared towards larger marketing teams and needs more top-line flexibility to appeal to specialized users in smaller teams across overall communication roles. Review Source Response from Turtl April 30, 2019 Hi Hanns, thank you for leaving us a review! It's great to hear that you've had such a good experience with Turtl. Thank you for your feedback on pricing. You are correct, until now Turtl has focused on large enterprises. We will however shortly launch a version of Turtl for smaller teams! Thank you again from the Turtl team. DL Dean L. Customer Marketing Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent all round product " September 15, 2020 5.0 It’s been brilliant. The support team are outstanding, the additional functions that have been added since we joined are fantastic Pros Great software, very to use to create on brand software efficiently and without having to use agencies Cons It is expensive as a cost per licence and feel the pricing could be better Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Dean, Thank you for your great review!

Senior Manager, Design Services Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Turtl revolution" May 2, 2019 5.0 An exciting solution to online publishing, have been searching for something like this for years. Customer service is one of the best I've experienced. Pros Such a simple product to use. Once your brand is templated, creating all forms of online reports and brochures becomes so much easier! We like to try and push the design capabilities of Turtl and the support team are excellent for helping us throughout. Cons As a designer, it takes a while to find peace with the templated design restrictions. Review Source Response from Turtl May 3, 2019 Hi Jon, thank you very much for leaving us a review! Brilliant to hear that creating your reports and brochures has become so much easier using Turtl and that you've had such a fantastic experience working with our support team.

Account Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Support if their best trait - product features are improve with dev roudmap" June 12, 2017 5.0 Does what it says, reliable, no surprises, amazing support. Pros Support of the team behind the product, super responsive and flexible. You feel like they are part of your team. Cons Few basic features still to be implemented. Cost model is not ideal, it becomes too expensive if you only use for one publication for example. Review Source AS Andy S. Director of Marketing and Fundraising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Turtl platform has enhanced our digital presence, delivering both visitors and conversions." June 19, 2017 5.0 Pros The content looks fantastic, the presentation and integration of video and polling make for a very professional look and feel. Our web visitors are more engaged with the content as a result, and the tangible increase in conversions from readers is very impressive. Cons The finished content always looks great, but there are some limits to the flexibility of how you want to display things. Review Source BM Bernice M. Content Creator Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform to create quick, design quality content!" December 30, 2019 5.0 If you not a qualified designer but have a design eye then Turtl gives you all you need to explore your creative side without having to deal with the complexities of InDesign or Illustrator. I can now complete projects faster, all are always on brand and importantly the all have a slick design like finish so you know the reader is going to be impressed! Although I don't use the analytics much myself, they are very comprehensive for those looking for deep tracking and insight. The support team are great. Real humans, no bots! Pros It is so easy to use. Because of the way the software works, having some elements locked down like fonts and colours allows me to create content so efficiently whilst not losing the design look and feel. The drag and drop functionality means I can very quickly lump all the content into a framework and from there, play with different layout styles until I find the one I like best. There are a few tricks which allow for things like full bleed capability. The fact that I can incorporate all the multi-media necessary (videos, maps, charts, graphs, podcasts, gifs) etc all in the same platform is a dream. Once my content is live, we can make edits on the fly which is handy for the odd typo here and there. Cons Nothing really. I always wanted full bleed to be available as I felt this was a constraint and that was recently deployed and I love it. Review Source Response from Turtl February 17, 2020 Hi Bernice, thank you so much for your great review! It's brilliant to hear that Turtl allows you to incorporate all the multi-media you need to efficiently and also allows you to explore your creative side even though you aren't a designer. It's also brilliant to hear that you've experienced the fantastic service from the support team! Thank you again from the Turtl team! OB Olivia B. Digital Marketing Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Turtl Review" May 16, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to use, easy to quickly build content and update/refresh old content. Love the real-time metrics. And the support team is always there to help. Easy for the user to digest. Anyone can do it - you don't have to be a designer to put together a great looking e-book. Cons When building out a book, especially a lengthy one, a lot of times I need to go back in and make changes. One of the biggest annoyances and frustrations, is when you're trying to add a page in between existing content. It would be great if there was a function to just "add page" and push all the other content back instead of having to go through and re-pin everything to the following page. Also, I've noticed there are times (not frequent but every so often) when I come back to a book and something that was pinned has moved. Since the books I create are "client facing" it would be a nice reassurance if everything would stay where I pin it! Review Source Response from Turtl May 20, 2019 Hi Olivia, thank you for your review! It's brilliant to hear that you find Turtl so easy to use. Thank you for your feedback about being able to add a new page, it's great to know that this is something you'd like to see in Turtl and it's actually something we're currently looking into! Please do let the Support Team know if you encounter any of your pinned elements moving in the future and we can look into this for you. Thank you again from the Turtl team! HB Helen B. Senior Marketing Associate Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brings our content to life" September 15, 2020 5.0 Excellent product, excellent team Pros Documents are live so can be updated quickly and easily - making it simple to keep docs up-to-date (or correct mistakes). You have peace of mind knowing your fonts, logos and colour schemes are all fixed and your documents are on-brand. Customer service is 5\*, couldn't ask for better support from the Turtl team who are all incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. Images and videos look so much better in Turtl and we can showcase our content better. Cons Occasional bugs and if you need to reshuffle the order of content within an immerse section this can be tricky. Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Helen, thank you so much for your great review! It's brilliant to hear that Turtl gives you peace of mind that your Docs are always on-brand and are very easy to update. It's also lovely to hear that you've enjoyed working with the support team.

CMO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changing" April 29, 2019 5.0 We have moved away from printed collateral and have all customer facing materials in Turtl. This ensure we can create great looking content quickly, ensure it's on-brand and more importantly, use analytics to constantly improve the performance of our content. Pros The ability to quickly create content without the need for graphic design expertise, coupled with in-depth, individualised analytics makes Turtl a game changer for all businesses Cons Some design and editing features are limited, but this often ensure story's are on-brand. Review Source Response from Turtl April 30, 2019 Hi Gareth, thank you for leaving us a review! It's fantastic to hear that all of your customer facing materials are now in Turtl and that you're using the analytics to improve your content performance. Thank you again from the Turtl team! MM Mark M. Digital Designer Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great product for delivering campaigns" September 9, 2020 5.0 Pros Turtl is an intuitive, engaging platform that is easy to use for both designers and non-creatives. Cons Turtl is cutting edge, but with all cutting edge products, there are still some features in their infancy stage. A media library is something that would be really useful to have. Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Mark, thank you very much for your review! It's great to hear that you've found Turtl so easy to use and cutting edge. It's also brilliant to know about the features you'd like to see in the future. A media library is currently on our roadmap so it's good to hear that this is something you'd like to see. Please don't hesitate to let us know about any other features requests you have at support@turtl.co. Thank you again from the Turtl Team! GT Greg T. Graphic Designer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product, definitely recommend" April 29, 2019 5.0 Brilliant, we get great feedback from everyone, it is now really easy to use only let down is fact we cant change the back cover. Pros The ease of uploading copy and imagery, getting it proof read and approved in a matter of hours as it is a digital platform, no need for saving multiple pdf proofs and people picking up old the wrong versions! It allows the customer to explore the document and helps keep them engaged for longer. Cons The fact we cannot change the back cover, is a massive frustration, having to explain this to someone who has never used Turtl is a nightmare, it really does knock their confidence and enthusiasm for the product (Turtl). It is a real shame as the rest of Turtl is so customisable now, compared to how it was 12 months ago. Review Source Response from Turtl May 1, 2019 Hi Greg, thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you find Turtl easy to use and time effective. Thank you for your feedback about the back cover, it's good to know that this is something you'd really like to see in the tool and it will be passed on to the rest of the team. Thank you again from the Turtl team! SV Sylvie V. Director E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Turtl for Education" September 23, 2020 5.0 The support was fantastic and practically immediate and 100% resolved any issues I had. It was so much easier than design software but still came up with such professional looking product. Pros Turtl has enabled me to create the most engaging environmental education resources possible. The students who have used them have accessed them from a mobile education app on their phones and have really engaged as the opportunity to embed amazing visual, podcasts, videos, pdfs makes each book unique and students love it! Cons I have no complaints at all - it was really great experience producing the books. Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Sylvie, Thank you so much for your great review! It's wonderful to hear that you've easily been able to create engaging content that the students enjoy reading and also that you've enjoyed working with our support team. Thank you again from the Turtl Team! CB Charlie B. Head of Digital Content Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Improved our eMagazine processes " September 15, 2020 4.0 I have had a great experience with Turtl and would absolutely recommend them for a content team looking to bring more design work/ content creation in-house, with ease and little-to-no training needed. Pros Turtl is easy to use, and update - which means minor errors that would have taken many steps to fix in an InDesign PDF are able to be resolved in a couple of minutes. The design is also great. Cons The technology can be a little buggy, and changes/updates effect everything, even work you have previously completed and published and ideally would not want changed. Review Source Response from Turtl September 25, 2020 Hi Charlie, thank you so much for your review! It's brilliant to hear that you've had a great experience with Turtl and that the team have found it easy to learn and use!

Thank you again from the Turtl Team! AS Amie S. Content Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Serves a specific purpose " May 2, 2019 4.0 Fine but not great. I feel that I am being unduly harassed by your sales team. I will contact you when I need help. In the meantime, I don't want to be contacted regularly looking for meetings. Pros It's easy to use and people like the results. Cons Options aren't all turned on and I sometimes come forward with a problem and it turns out there is a solution but it wasnt enabled for my account. Like charts. And who knows what else. I'm also being contacted by you to meet with your salesperson and last time I made time for him, he had no useful tips for me but simply said I was doing everything well. Now he wants another 30 minutes of my time to tell me what exactly? I'm not interested in meetings for the sake of meetings. Review Source Response from Turtl May 3, 2019 Hi Amie, thank you very much for leaving us a review. We take pride in the relationships we have with our customers and management take all comments from users extremely seriously.

October 3, 2019 5.0 With Turtl, the team is looking for an option to provide relevant, timely content to its subscriber base with the added ability to retrieve robust metrics. Pros Turtl is, by far, the publishing platform that BEST combines intuitive features with beautiful templates! You can customize content easily (via the very helpful & quick tutorials). It's so easy, in fact, that basically all you have to do is worry about the written content and what kinds of pictures/graphics you'd like to add ... and let Turtl do all the rest! Seriously, you'd have to pay BIG MONEY to get the design layouts that Turtl so easily provides. Cons I did have one problem, but our rep answered it in a nanosecond for me and saved the day! (i.e., How do I link directly to a page with content even if it's surrounded by a cover page and a Back Cover page? Answer: Click to the Immerse page (the page with your content on it) and copy the URL in your browser to go directly there!) I tested this with someone else and they replied, "It looks great to me!" :-) Review Source Response from Turtl October 11, 2019 Hi Greg, thank you for your review! It's so brilliant to hear that you're enjoying using Turtl and creating beautiful layouts. Great to hear that the team have been saving the day as well! Please don't hesitate to let us know if you ever need any assistance. Thank you again from the Turtl Team! MG Matt G. Associate Director Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy to use but if you need help the team are there in a flash. " June 12, 2017 5.0 Pros Very quick to create content that looks good and is on brand. The reporting and integrations with other MarTech platforms is great too as it enables streamlined campaigns and lead reporting. Cons At times it can feel a bit restrictive with layouts but this is a minor con as the platform is geared around great reading experiences. In addition to this, the support team help make sure every story looks great.
