"Maximizing leads and maintaining several advertising platforms"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Critical Impact?

Critical Impact is the best data keeping and processing tool. The journey and processing of workflow in this is quite easy to understand.

The function can be smoothly and easily be collaborated and connected with all the CRM, ERP and salesforce workflow systems.

In this you can process and mail to many number of subscribers at a time. It is enough for business email marketing.

The auto generating emails is great in this, it saves time and produce the best attracting and customer engaging template for you. The best automated email builder tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Impact?

There is not a better sorting feature for spam or fraud emails from a lot of the mails. I think there needs to be more inbuilt campaign templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BDM review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Critical Impact?

Easy to move contacts from SF into CI. Easy to build campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Impact?

Sharing back data to my Salesforce contacts does not populate on the account. You have to go to the individual contact to see what Campaign they were sent.

If a customer opts out we are not seeing this as well in SF. Our other business units do and we believe it is a setup issue, so not as concerned about this at the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Impact?

Approach with care while contemplating Critical Impact. These fees accumulate with each unsolicited message or phone call shunned by restraint and domain protection policies. Further, there's a requirement to sign up for a long-term commitment (a year). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Critical Impact?

It can send a lot of emails. But that gets you in Spam jail now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use this if you want to ruin your domain reputation. They will nickel and dime you for every contact and email sent. Oh and they will lock you into a year-long contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A full featured email service platform at a great price point"

4/5

What do you like best about Critical Impact?

The easy and powerful email automation tools, the timely customer support, and the email calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Critical Impact?

There are some features which seem intuitive and WYSIWYG, but after trying to use them it becomes clear that you're missing some technical nuance or detail that is preventing you from successfully using the tool. This happens rarely, and generally the documentation is good enough to walk you through it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Critical Impact:

This is a richly featured email service platform; I find it to be as equally as powerful as ExactTarget, but much more affordable and user friendly. I strongly recommend Critical Impact for small businesses with marketing operations that are mature enough to level up their outbound marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Critical Impact solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've created drip email campaigns to engage and educate current customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
