It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Fragile Product Design Resulted in Lost Revenue
Likeliness to Recommend
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

- Vendor Friendly Policies

Fantastic Marketing tools must TRY!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates ActiveCampaign from other similar products?
ActiveCampaign offers a predictive email scheduling feature, which automatically sends emails at the optimal time for each recipient based on their behavior and preferences
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of this product is the email automation feature, which allows you to create workflows and sequences that trigger based on various conditions and actions.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The thing I dislike most about this product is the contact volume pricing, which can be very expensive if you have a large number of contacts. For example, if you have 100,000 contacts on the Lite plan, you will pay $505 / 拢500 / AUD$750 per month1. This can be a deterrent for some businesses that want to scale their email marketing without breaking the bank.

Try hard all the features in 14-day free trial to see if they suit your needs
