What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

Easy for our sales staff to use which ranges in age from 22 to 86. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

There are some minor features that I would like to be able to modify – but for the most part the system and interface are great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

Absolutely lovely interface. I love the design and feel. When I have to submit a ticket for help the response time is extraordinary. I feel like it is a small company and I'm their only client. I feel like I am being listened to – and the changes they implement are in the user's best interests – and seem to be really well thought out. I also have to say the price point is an absolute value. I feel like I am getting a lot more bang for my buck with Hatchbuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Team communication has improved, starting to implement tasks with the team – more efficient with their communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

Software is fairly easy to use and straight forward. It offers clients more automated capabilities than not using anything and also saves them time which is a great selling point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

Lack of a complete white label makes the software less desirable as an agency. Sometimes slow to resolve issues with branding or other things that are not already on their dev timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

None really it works fine for what it is. There are other more expensive solutions out there that offer more features but if you need something for lead management, basic email automation, email blasts, etc. Hatchbuck does fine at a reasonable price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The CRM gives us the ability to track website visits and create automated actions around them, send out email campaigns, etc. It also allows us to give our clients a more structured sales process and ensure they are able to close more leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

Hatchbuck gives us a fully-functioning CRM tool so that we can seamlessly integrate activities between sales and marketing as well as between multiple departments within the organization. With the ability to automate many sales and marketing functions based on trigger events, we can very efficiently and focus on keeping the channels of communication open with our clients and prospects. The ability to design custom emails, and now landing pages and pop-up ads (beta at this time) has further improved our tracking of our prospects' behavior and interests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

I have the occasional issue with the filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

Hatchbuck gives you high-end features without the steep pricing of many offerings on the market today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hatchbuck Forms has made it incredibly easy to tracking leads. It also facilitates the management of sales activity and communication between sales and marketing departments. Hatchbuck has also made the process of growing our business development team much more manageable. We benefit from the ease of reporting, quick reference to activity and easy-to-use design features and automation for email communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

I enjoy using Hatchbuck because it is fairly user friendly but also has a ton of helpful features and capabilities. You can categorize contacts in many different ways, which is great for organizational purposes. Hatchbuck also keeps detailed statistics on every email you send out with it, and has a fantastic email builder with templates and coding options.The new features with Pop-Ups and Landing pages are fantastic, and offer even more options for our company to expand our reach and contact base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

Sometimes the amount of features available is overwhelming and confusing, but there are several videos and articles that help remedy this issue. There are a few aspects to the software that still need some work. In the email builder, is is hard to achieve some specific results, and occasionally, image quality is depleted. The new Pop-Ups and Landing pages feature is very helpful and unique, but could use more options for customization. We had wanted to put our logo in a Pop-Up, but it was very difficult to get the right, placement and size for the image. The spam filters for Hatchbuck are also a little lack luster. We get a lot of spam contacts and it is very hard to get genuine people to sign up for things like newsletters, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

Hatchbuck is great for small businesses looking for a software to help keep up with contacts, create emails, and collect statistics! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hatchbuck makes it infinitely easier to keep track of customers and maintain contact with potential leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

Hatchbuck is incredibly easy to use. It's intuitive enough that I could figure out how to use it without a tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

The email templates can be a little sticky to work with, but no more so than with other marketing automation platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

Hatchbuck is a perfect tool for a small company. It's affordable and very easy to use and maintain with no support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're mostly using this for our newsletter and outbound communications but are slowly moving over our CRM as well. Before Hatchbuck, we had no visibility into our customers beyond email open rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

I love how each client has a profile dashboard. It helps to keep things very organized. Also, the ability to track the journey of a client's engagement with my website really helps me to know what information that interests them.

Additionally, I love the task manager feature. I can set specific tasks that are related to specific clients, and then get reminders sent to me for follow up.

You will find that a client profile area has the ability to upload documents to a profile. This feature is great if you work with contracts or photographs.

There are really so many features that I love, that there too many to list. Hatchbuck really is a great value for the fee, and what is most important for any product is the support.

They have always been there for me and my business.

I would highly recommend them and do!

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

Currently, I miss having real-time chat support and hope that they go back to that. It's currently set to leaving a message, however, the support has been very good for the whole time I've been a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been able to create an email series that can handle providing information to questions or inquiries that are the same in nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BenchmarkONE?

I hadn't much experience with this type of software, but Hatchbuck is very straight forward and easy to learn. I feel every time I go on there I pick up a few new skills. Being able to attach tasks to the emails being sent out, and being able to track the clicks per email has been SUPER helpful! I can say my numbers would not be what they are without this program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BenchmarkONE?

I've had some issues at times, loading lead lists. The software gives feedback as to how many were good, and bad, and why. Sometimes I don't understand what it's telling me, but I believe it's something that I will sort out with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BenchmarkONE:

Look at other CRMs out there. They are all different and provide different services. There are many good ones. I feel this one is very good. I would recommend it first to anyone looking at this type of program. Based on how I was able to pick it up and utilize it effectively right away, I know it's got to be easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to reach out to all of my prospects at the same time with one click is wonderful!! I spend a block of time on the weekend prepping it, and throughout the week it sends out the content as I planned. I've been in sales quite awhile and avoided such software, but this time I decided to try it out. It's been a game changer for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
