"Seamless Emails for B2B Clients"

What do you like best about Act-On?

I really like the personalization aspect of Act-On. My marketing manager, our graphic designer and I - we can all collaborate together how we want our email campaigns to look. We are able to design them and cater to our specific audiences. I have been using Act-On for the last 10+ years and I would absolutely recommend their services to everyone. Their customer service responds quickly as well if there are any issues that may arise. But not many have! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

I am old and liked the former layout a little better. I am still trying to get accustomed to the new changes that were recently implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great partner"
4/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

The library of templates, the recent updates on the email composer which will make it easier for us to build beautiful emails and our account management team who has been super supportive and easy to work with.

The integration with Salesforce makes it a seamless experience, and we can send alerts to the sales team on the automated campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

Discrepancy on the metrics, in particular since September last year we have been experimenting a lot of discrepancy and almost unable to use the analytics add-on report. We are hoping for a solution.

The sales anywhere license is useful but I feel it would be great if our folks could easily swap content so their efforts could be more targetted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

Act-on really stands out with their exceptional customer service and support. I'm constantly impressed with how quickly my questions are answered and the resources available to help me utilize the system to it's full capacity.

I've found the system itself to be easy to navigate and intuitive. I also really appreciate that the Act-on team is constantly improving the system, updating look & feel, adding new features, etc. Clearly they are paying attention to industry trends and user needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

I've sometimes found the reporting to be lacking, or just a little outdated. This would be something I'd love to see Act-on improve or revamp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your feedback on the reporting aspect. We're constantly working on improving our features, and your input is valuable in guiding our efforts to enhance the system.

"A good solution for marketing agencies"
4/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

Email builder is easy to use and customizable. Friendly for agencies like ours that require a large volume of emails. The "Personalized From" feature has been a game changer. Integrates well with our analytics platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

Issue resolution can be slow and frustrating. Some inconsistencies noted in metrics between Analytics and Campaign Reports. Not a good platform for SMS. Uploaded data can come back messy if downloaded later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use, great support services, and versatile"
4/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

The one aspect about our Act-On use that I appreciate the most is the customer support. Whether it's regarding training new employees, answering questions, or providing best practices, the response time and level of detail we receive is quick and always helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

Prior to the most recent development upgrade, the main aspect was the lack of formatting combinations that were available to the average customer who didn't want to get into using the custom/HTML coding blocks. Now, the most recent upgrade has cured a lot of that. There are always developments that could be made, but Act-On has shown that they continue to address on a rolling basis.

"The perfect package for ESP"
5/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

I love all of the services the platform offers and how seamless they integrate together. It's very user friendly and their customer support is A++. We use this ESP for almost everything and are in the process of rolling other projects over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

The only suggestions I have for changes are allowing certain windows to stay open after you complete the task, provide a summary window when scheduling emails like legacy had, and when reviewing the scheduled emails to have the name of the job in the email proof window.

"Easy to use, but still growing features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

Act-On is easy to use, and the improvements that are being made consistently continue to increase user ability, and the interface is simple to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

As Act-On is still growing, the features within the system are still growing. We semi-regularly run into things that have "fixes" or "ways to do it simpler" on other platforms but are still in development with Act-On. The product team and account managers do take customer feedback and feature requests which helps mitigate this as a a work/productivity issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jennifer Blanco of Act-On

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to grow and develop new features.

"Powerful tool for experienced email marketers."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

Act-On is the best tool for B2B email marketing I've found. It is powerful in what you can accomplish in the platform and has plenty of useful integrations.

Other platforms are great for getting started but if you've outgrown more basic email-sending platforms it's time to level your game and strategy.

I use this platform every day in my strategist position and it is easy to use when you get stuck their support team is A+. (Really, they deserve a raise.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

Until recently innovation seemed stalled but the last 12 months have seen a lot of improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"2024 Updates are Great"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Act-On?

The new email composer is a huge help and makes editing content in emails much easier and more efficient. I like the option to reach out to an Act-On rep to schedule calls when I need help with a feature or a CRM integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Act-On?

Sometimes the CRM integration seems to have issues and I've seen some errors synching our contact database. And while the new email composer is great and allows for mobile and desktop designs, sometimes it has trouble detecting which device it's sending to and will show both designs to a user.
