Streak

Seamless Integration with Gmail to track Read emails

Vorteile:

It gives a complete trail of interaction with the sent email, which was very helpful when I was in Sales and wanted to track how interested different potential clients could be

Nachteile:

CRM was a bit tricky so maybe that can be made easier to work for a newbie

All CRM Systems should be this powerful and easy!

Kommentare: I will never use any other CRM system again. I have used possibly 7 or 8 in the past and Streak CRM is the best of all of them.

Vorteile:

I love that Streak is part of my emails. You don't have to go to a seperate website and login and copy and paste things between the 2 systems. Everything is there in the same window as your Google Workspace emails.

Nachteile:

It takes a little time to get to know the system and see how it will work for you. I see now that they more video tutorials and that has helped tremendously.

Frustrating CRM

Kommentare: It works as a database, but we frequently backed data up to excwl sheets due to outages.

Vorteile:

Streak makes it easy to have a database of contacts.

Nachteile:

Confusing options, frustrating functionality at times. Cloud based, so not always available when outages happen.

Incredibly useful CRM that integrates into Gmail

Kommentare: Overall, Streak is a simple, but useful CRM solution that seamlessly integrates into Gmail. This service is helpful for getting any startup off the ground by helping to organize and manage leads in straightforward way.

Vorteile:

I love that Streak integrates seamlessly into my Gmail inbox. I always keep a tab open for Gmail on my desktop so my CRM is readily available. Streak is so easy to setup and works great for organizing both my personal and professional life. I use Streak to setup pipelines for managing hundreds of contacts across different functions such as sales, affiliate partnerships, vendors, and more. The contact management aspect is highly customizable to capture as much info as needed and the paid plans scale to fit my growing needs.

Nachteile:

I wish the free plan allowed more features and flexibility. This would have been particularly useful when my number of boxes / contacts were growing and I needed to test shared / collaborative features more thoroughly for onboarding early hires.

Importance of the email traking

Vorteile:

On the business, the email tracking is very important. To know it the clients reads your email is everything

Nachteile:

For now everything is working for me, simple and productive

A Very Useful Product

Vorteile:

I enjoy and prefer to use Streak in my email campaigns for monitoring email deliveries and opens.

Nachteile:

There are no negatives that I can think of at this time.

LOVE this product!

Vorteile:

The ease to add and track leads within your pipeline is great! You can easily and quickly update your contacts! The email reminders are great as well!

Nachteile:

I wish that when you enter a follow up date on the main screen it would automatically set the email reminder instead of going into the contact. (However this could be a user error)

Efficient tool, provided you remember to use it!

Vorteile:

Works really well inside of Gmail and also has it's own mobile app which is a huge bonus (similar apps work only in desktop web interface). Have had great results from the mail merge followup function, but often forgt to track Leads and Projects consistently.

Nachteile:

Only real frustration is that there's no native reminder for tasks and follow-ups other than an email... and the main reason for using it is so that I can see things without relying just on email.

Love Streak!

Vorteile:

Super easy to you and allowed us to manage hundreds of email conversations ensuring that we were staying on top of them all

Nachteile:

Wish it connected with Outlook, instead of just Google.

Winning Streak

Kommentare: I think this is a great add-on.

Vorteile:

I was introduced to this product at work and used it in conjunction with Asana. The fact that this is connected directly to my Gmail account was the best thing ever since I primarily work with Google products. I now use this add-on for my own company.

Nachteile:

I couldn't link one email to more than one contact.

Review For Streak for managing my email and sales pipeline

Kommentare: Overall, I think Streak is a great tool that's worth considering if you're looking for a CRM solution

Vorteile:

I've used Streak for a few years now, and I've found it to be a very helpful tool for managing my email and sales pipeline. I like that it's integrated directly into Gmail, so I don't have to switch between different applications. I also appreciate the various features that Streak offers, such as email tracking, templates, and sequences. These features have helped me to stay organized and to improve my sales performance.Overall, I'm very happy with Streak. It's a powerful tool that can help you to be more productive and to close more deals

Nachteile:

Streak review

Vorteile:

I appreciated how simple the interface is, as well as Streak's commitment to assisting teams in streamlining their workflow and becoming more productive. It's also very easy to use, with a simple interface and helpful tutorials to get you up and running quickly. It's also a big plus if you're able to quickly customize pipelines, manage tasks, and collaborate with coworkers. Finally, I like how Streak integrates with other well-known tools like Gmail, Google Drive, and Slack.

Nachteile:

The lack of customization options is my least favorite aspect of Streak. The platform's ability to customize to specific needs and workflows is limited, making it difficult to manage complex data sets and processes.

Streak has been a great add-on to my current capabilities, and I can't imagine doing without it now

Kommentare: I've used Streak for the past 2 years or so. As an Account Manager in public relations, I needed a way to reliably and easily track who was actually checking out my sent messages, and who was most likely to respond well to my email campaigns. Ever since then, Streak has been completely adopted into my workflow, and I absolutely can't do without it!

Vorteile:

I love that there's an easy way to track who checks messages I've sent out over account emails. In my role, this is an essential piece, and Streak makes it incredibly easy and convenient to track my leads and contacts over time.

Nachteile:

Streak is almost a little *too embedded, as in it's so sleek that you can forget it's even working in the background. Really though, I can't think of much to complain about!

Effective email tracking tool for Gmail!

Kommentare: Great tool for email tracking as it does tell you the number of email views, timestamp, and locations. Really helpful while running your email campaigns.

Vorteile:

Easy to add its extension and integrate it with Gmail. Interface is good. Really helpful in keeping track of all my emails and helps me with my email campaigns.

Nachteile:

Its major concern is its downtime. It crashes very often and doesn’t load any emails.

Streak is exactly the CRM I was looking for

Kommentare: Streak listens to their customers and is constantly improving. They reply quickly and are professional and courteous.

Vorteile:

Streak allows me the flexibility to manipulate my data the way I want to without going from module to module. The integration with my email is the icing on the cake! The ability to access all my data from one location saves time and time is money!

Nachteile:

There is not much that I don't like but their is one option that is a thorn in my side. Since they integrate with Gmail and I have been told that they cannot do anything about this, oh well. It is recommended to turn on CONVERSATION VIEW in Gmail. I will never do this. Every day, my emails are linked to multiple people and what a disaster it is to keep those emails straight. I cannot pull up sent emails because of that and I'm hoping that someday, there will be a fix.

Personalized email? Try Streak, and you'll never go unnoticed!

Kommentare: I was able to sent emails to a lot of people but helped me not sound robotic and general because it lets me modify variables that I want to populate in the emails by just merely putting it in an excel csv file. Who says being personalized in email correspondences is a bottle? Well, they haven't installed or used Streak!

Vorteile:

As a part-time resume editor, and a full-time workforce planner, I need to email a lot of clients. Emailing them takes so much time even if the emails are just the same, and I just need to edit one or two words in the message I will be sending them. Before, it took me a great deal of time wasted doing it one by one, but because of Streak, it made it easy for me now! I can now email 100 people in just one click and one email template, but you will not sound robotic because it lets you modify some variables you want to populate by just editing it in one .csv excel file! Streak also helped me keep track of my senders. It provides me the information if the person I sent the email already opened the message once or twice. This helps me to know whom to follow up or whom I need to call because they haven't opened my email which saves so much time for me!

Nachteile:

I am using a work email powered by Gmail, and sometimes whenever I clear my cookies and cache, the Streak extension crashes and I need to rerun it. If I am using a different computer, I need to rerun it too again. It is not that time consuming, but I hope they can find solution to that so that it will be sync on all computers that I am using and only needs me to run it once per device.

Streaks ahead

Kommentare: It's been a consistent part of several businesses for me for some years now and it's a rock-solid performer that saves me time and helps win new business.

Vorteile:

It's flexibility. I have used Streak in many varied (CRM type mostly) ways and have been able to mould Streak to deliver what we needed. As it resides within Google Workspace it's one less app for the team to deal with and training time is reduced. The email snippets (templates) are super helpful.

Nachteile:

It takes quite an investment in time to set up for your business - but it is worth it.

Best Free CRM for Gmail

Kommentare: Overall, it is one of the best CRM for Gmail. The free plan is recommended for personal use, but for working with a team upgrading to the Pro plan may be needed.

Vorteile:

I used this software mainly for email tracking purposes. I used the free plan. It provides data about when the recipient opened the email, its location, and its devices. The CRM is easy to integrate on Gmail. It is not needed to log in to another website, everything can be done within the Gmail workspace. Different pipelines can be created for managing projects, sales leads, hiring, fundraising, and other tasks. Emails can be scheduled to send at a later time.

Nachteile:

Sometimes email tracking does not work as the recipient's server does not allow tracking. There is another concern of privacy as Streak can access and delete all emails and information within Gmail account.

Gmail organization with Streak

Kommentare: On the long run, this software do help in managing my email and to analyzing my email data. I am quite satisfied.

Vorteile:

Integrating my Gmail with Streak is very smooth and calling and managing my email data. It work directly from the Gmail application and no other additional software are needed. I can track the most important email and conversation and monitor it better.

Nachteile:

It work quite slow and sometime it will crash the Gmail software. It just need to reopen or refresh the software back, but it is quite annoying after it happen quite frequently. The customer support also very slow in writing back all the inquiry email that i have sent.

Good solution if you're on a budget

Kommentare: I was on a very tight budget when I used it, that's why Streak was my rescue. Streak allowed me to do things for free that no other software that I tried would. But I wouldn't use it if you can afford to pay $50-100/month for a decent email marketing software.

Vorteile:

The free plan and the solo plan that goes for $15 provide you with the functionality that no other software provides you with for free or very cheap. It's basically based on Google Sheets, which is both a pro and con.

Nachteile:

Lacks a view where you can see all contacts that you have, so the only place where you can see your contacts is in a sequence. Also, it doesn't let you set automatic delays between emails, so it will shoot out all emails, scheduled to be sent on a certain day, at once - this very negatively affects your deliverability and domain reputation. Most if not all good email marketing softwares have this function.

It makes gmail a really strong solution for a small business

Vorteile:

I have used CRM in different guises for years. When I started my own business I looked around and tried many different packages. The trouble with many of them is they didn't work natively in my Gmail package. Streak works within Gmail so I don't have to think too hard. It simple to associate emails to any contact/prospect and find them if I ever need to. I can sort out my inbox within a few minutes which means I never have more than one screen of emails at any one time. The ability to archive emails and find them easily makes Streak a really productive tool.

Nachteile:

I'd like the ability to associate an email with multiple contacts/prospects. It's a wish rather than a need as I've used the free version successfully for more than 2 years and would hate to be without it!

Much better option than Saleseforce for small companies

Kommentare: Going from a manual system to Streak meant that we immediately saw increases in efficiency, better tracking and reporting, and were able to build our client base without hiring new sales reps or account managers.

Vorteile:

After spending well over a year trying to set up Salesforce, my company -- a small team of 15 -- finally gave up and decided to go with Streak instead. Especially for a business of our size, Streak was definitely the better option. It's lightweight, was far quicker to implement, and we immediately saw improvements in our efficiency and ability to track leads. Further, we mostly got our leads via conferences and word of mouth, so we managed both inbound and outbound leads in our email inboxes. For this reason, we loved that we could track our leads from within our inbox using Streak -- no tool switching!

Nachteile:

I could see us possibly outgrowing it if we were to have a more complex business, but don't have much to say about its downsides.

Best tool for Sales, HR and Marketing when team works with Gmail

Vorteile:

*Business features while tracking email you can see who has opened it and react fast and surprise a customer or a person you work with. Makes work very comfortable *Integration Streak is tightly integrated within Gmail account and creates its own tab where you can have a personal CRM view * Contacts and additional features Streak has a great way of associating each contact with a specific deal (box) which makes it easy to use gmail for sales. For example, I can easily message all people related to the issue without ever searching for the addresses. *Functionality of Streak is incredible it has everything You can do mass mail check if people saw your email and track when and how it has been opened.

Nachteile:

In terms of functionality It can be a bit faster. Also, I believe, Streak team will work regarding more customization and create more options for users to adjust the plugin to the needs of the company UI needs some work. It does not seem welcoming and even if it has all the features, some user might just get confused.

The best multi- dimensional CRM

Kommentare: Streak is a useful tool for businesses that want to manage customer relationships and track the progress of their sales and other processes within a single platform.

Vorteile:

It allows users to manage customer interactions, sales pipelines, and other data related to their business within a single platform.

Nachteile:

Streak may not be suitable for businesses that have a large number of customer interactions and data to manage. The platform is designed for small to medium-sized businesses, and it may not have the scalability or robustness to handle the needs of larger organizations.

How did I ever use Gmail without it.

Kommentare: Streak is just great. If you write a lot of emails, it's a great solution to stay organized and productive.

Vorteile:

Streak is so much more powerful than any other email organization solution I've ever used. There are 3 main components of Streak that I find most useful. First, the pipeline system is a very easy way to keep email conversations organized. I like that you can customize parameters for each pipeline, which means you can use it for just about any sort of communication flow, both internal and external to your organization. Sales leads, partnership requests, even legal/financial review are all easily handled by pipelines Second, I like the integration with different productivity apps like Asana and Google Drive. This is a simple feature, yes, but the ability to enter data/tasks into other platforms all from my inbox saves an appreciable amount of time. Third, the email task manager in Streak is also pretty robust. Being able to set priority, make labels and reminders, tag items, and sort by different variables is just fantastic. I really like that these entries live my inbox, so I don't have to use my main task manager with dozens of tiny email tasks.

Nachteile:

I really do not have much practical criticism of Streak. However, if I had to choose one thing that could be improved it would be the visual design. The iconography, colors, fonts, and other UI elements do not seamlessly match Gmail's default design language, which means I can always tell what is and is not Streak. This does not interfere with usability or efficiency of Streak, but it would be nice if everything was visually seamless. I think that would make the user experience much nicer.
