Makesbridge is incredible for fundamental email and marketing businesses. It is easy to use and lean. Moreover, they offer a free trial for everyone to try out.

They do not have an option to view the email funnel on a graphical view, also no social monitoring inside the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Marketo Replacement and Ideal MAP for Growing B2B Consultants and Service Providers"

5/5

What do you like best about Makesbridge?

First, Makesbridge is super easy to set-up. It's Playbooks are like templates on steroids -- allowing you to deploy advanced campaigns and functionality in a few clicks and a few minutes (something I honestly didn't believe when I first read it).

I was able to sign up for a free trial, select an initial campaign Playbook, and launch my first email campaign to my email list in about an hour. Setting up ALL of my advanced functionality took me the rest of the afternoon. (Other MAPs have taken me weeks or months to do the same.)

I've been around the block a few times on MAPs (I've tried all of the main ones), and Makesbridge is ahead of the innovation curve when it comes to usability, deployability, and minimizing total cost of ownership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Makesbridge?

The API integration with Makesbridge through Zapier is great (opening up lots of 3rd party functionality), and perfect for small and medium businesses that just need to connect Salesforce.com and a couple normal apps; however, when I'm connecting large and complex integration environments, I'd probably choose one of the big expensive MAP options with advanced API functionality and mature developer markets. Makesbridge is limited in its custom API integration options, just like HubSpot and Pardot are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Makesbridge:

If you need a MAP that is affordable, can be set-up in a day, has killer (free!) support, and doesn't overcomplicate everything, then choose Makesbridge. You won't have to hire special technical consultants or bring on expensive agencies just to get your marketing done.

If you are looking for advanced customizations and need to integrate with lots of advanced platforms, then make sure you can do so through Zapier. If not, you may want to consider one of the more expensive MAP options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Makesbridge solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used Makesbridge to manage all of my demand generation efforts. I use it for lead-generation, web tracking, automated lead segmentation, automated email nurturing, content delivery, lead scoring and qualification, sales hand-offs, etc.

The biggest benefit has been having everything up and live in a day. Now I have a completely automated lead-generation funnel that hands pre-qualified sales-ready leads to my sales team, and all I have to do is throttle my ad spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible Customer Experience"

One of the most value packed email and sales automation services I've used. And the team makes the experience simply incredible.

"More Marketing Automation for Less Cost"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Makesbridge?

Makesbridge is a feature-rich solution. It has the power and features of top tier automation platforms but at a substantially less cost. The benefit for us is faster-realized ROI and a much lower total cost of ownership. Set up of Makesbridge takes hours vs. other solutions I have used which take weeks.

The integration with Salesforce.com is a breeze. It even operates directly within the Salesforce.com platform. Service and support engineers are second to none.

The vast set of templates and customization available via easy to use drag and drop email interface makes preparing a communication a breeze. Integrating forms and tracking with the website helps us to create trackable interactions with our target visitors.

I have yet to come up with a campaign that can not be solved via conditional logic, dynamic content, and automated triggers. Their newest technology Sales Assitant is a sales enablement solution that allows our sales team to automatically change the flow of a campaign based on the client characteristics. This has helped us realize the promise of account-based marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Makesbridge?

The one area I would like to see some development is around social monitoring or social posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Makesbridge:

Don't always gravitate toward the top tier providers or leading brands in the space. Often there are great solutions available that are as feature-rich but not as costly or driven by venture capital which tends to not put a focus on ease of use and support. I feel as though Makesbridge is a true partner focused on my success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Makesbridge solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problem we solve with Makesbridge is unifying our execution around marketing lead generation. From inbound to outbound communications Makesbridge has us covered. We have leveraged many of the automation bots to inform sales, trigger follow, and not lose sight of opportunities that become SQL leads. We realize many benefits to using Makesbrige the most important is compared to other solutions we have realized a much quicker ROI, accelerated our sales funnel and lowered our total cost of ownership. Most of this is achieved via rock-solid support, we see Makesbridge as a true partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Makesbridge?

Ehsan, our customer support rep, was outstanding. Great email marketing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Makesbridge?

The skin on the Salesforce integration could have been a bit updated to reflect more or a configurable lightning type interface, but still great. Full utilization of the Salesforce API would be great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Makesbridge:

Skin on the Salesforce interface could be updated, but this is cosmetic only. Full use of the Salesforce API would this an even better product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Makesbridge solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our firm required a highly configurable email automation package to integrate with Salesforce and that would accommodate our lead generation, nurturing, and sales funnels. Makesbridge is great, easy to use and highly configurable. Customer support is second to none! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
