VBOUT

Kommentare: I started using Vbout extensively for a project in school and I am recommending it to my current supervisor in marketing. It is easier to use, implement, and maintain when compared to other products, while also being cheaper. It has a free basic plan which was perfect for my needs, but the prices when compared to the other platforms is astounding. It also contains functions such as social media configuration and maintenance, email automation, and their new beta project, the customer journey. The customer journey was at first confusing, but once I learned how to use it, it helped show my other group members what we are doing and how we do it. Also, I am not a coder by any means, and HTML confuses me, but the email and landing page builder was easy to use and you don't need to know any code to be able to create the perfect email or landing page. Also, they have templates free to use and so I had a professional looking landing page that I didn't code at all. And if there was any problems with my account, I could call support and they would help me troubleshoot any problems I was having. All in all, Vbout is a great platform and I highly recommend it to people who are looking for cheaper alternatives, freelance marketers or salespeople looking to expand their lead generation, Web developers trying to direct and monitor traffic on their websites, or just someone trying to create something online.

Kommentare: Robust and feature rich marketing automation platform at half the costs of other players. So cost saving would be the most apparent benefit.

Vorteile: The tool is really easy to use and feature rich for a very competitive price compared to the other players like Act-on and Hubspot I have used. Creating a landing page is easy because they offer great looking templates you can customise. If you still have specific wishes their support team jumps on it and customise the landing page according to your wishes. I was impressed by the support team and even the CEO offers great support. He seems to be working 24/7. I also love the way you can create workflows using a blanc canvas and drag and drop actions/triggers.

Nachteile: Unfortunately I wasn't able to implement it after the PoC due to specific requirements internally. The timing was slightly off, would I have been able to start 6 months later I would have had no problems.

Kommentare: While customer service is very responsive, we need to contact customer service way too often.

Vorteile: It has most of the features we were looking for when considering platforms and was affordable.

Nachteile: They upgrade/change features frequently without telling you and cause problems with existing campaigns. "Templates" can be hard to change and don't always work across different email clients.
