The formatting features need to be improved. It is pretty hard to perform editing and layout management on my shapes and even documents with iContact templates.

Through these two approaches, this software will be a masterpiece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

iContact is an incredible solution to make marketing automation easier and also much easier.

I like this tool that has analysis functions and capabilities to manage social networks and include scheduled campaigns, with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

I also like the customer support that the platform offers, without a doubt it is positioned as one of the best among the platforms of this type. Contacting them with an email or call is very fast and quite effective.

I like that it can also be integrated with Salesforce so as to have a complete and efficient administration of the sales process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I find the variety of templates that the platform offers very limited, it really leaves a lot to be desired.

It has also happened to me that my emails end up in the spam tray, and this generates waste of time and money.

iContact is a great platform, but it has certain flaws that must be corrected and improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

I recommend signing up for the free iContact test and in this way you can know how the platform works, the different tools it provides and can decide if it is what you need.

What do you dislike about iContact?

It does not have much storage space for the hosting of images and if I want to expand this space it has a very high cost which I do not prefer to pay because it seems that just by expanding a storage its price is expensive for something so simple and without much benefit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I feel like editing the templates are not very easy. It takes a while to learn and it's hard for me to move things around and edit the templates to the way I want them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

This is a good service to use if you're looking for a way to send out mass emails to your subscribers. However, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to learn how it works and know the templates may be difficult to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

iContact's account manager keeps us up-to-date with the statistics of our emails sent, which has helped us to analyze the open rates fluctuations while still offers us tools to increase our engagement. We’re also able to make a segment based on different rules. iContact is such a complete software that it provides us with all the major KPI's we would expect, which helps a lot with the analytical tracking information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

When some emails bounce, they can't be traced, I don't know the specific reason for that, even though I haven't dug deep enough to find it. Labels don't allow typing special characters, so we can not use questions as labels. Also, iContact had surveys, what I consider one of the greatest features, but it was removed with no particular reason. Another thing is templates, as I think iContact requires more flexibility in the creation templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

As iContact's price goes up with more subscribers it's able to grow with the same business, so iContact is a great option for small and medium businesses. If you consider acquiring it, you'll be taking one of the best tools for the marketing and sales department at fair and reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my organization, we use iContact to send our retail and wholesale email newsletters, and we are very satisfied with how it performs, that's what we stick with iContact. It allowed us to have more advanced emailing actions, being even over Salesforce offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

Creating lists, campaigns and landing pages with iContact is very easy, and websites that result mean a major thrust forward in our ability to look loads more professional and that draws visitors to main page. It has allowed us to enter intro into the trend of static react based sites and the results have been amazing. Besides, they are constantly renewing their templates and themes, so we have the option to add our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

iContact's current templates only favor clients who are in the sales market, but they are not so helpful for marketers. Also, It doesn't support drop down lists or text fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

iContact is well suited for small of medium companies. I think it would not be enough for larger business, but if you're looking for a tool to get the sales job done, then iContact will certainly fit in your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use iContact to create campaigns and landing page, as iContact support a bunch of standard fields and it's very straightforward. It allows me to use my graphic design abilities to make eye-catching emails that intrigues people and leads them to want more information about our business. We count with an activation account manager that is used to constantly guide us through new capabilities, solve any annoying issue of emailing and make a more efficient work. With iContact, I feel I don't have to worry about updates, databases or clients breaking their sites anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

The registration begins by being free to know how this marketing software works and after the trial time begins to pay some plans that are very flexible for any company that is interested in acquiring this software to improve the marketing of the company, all It is very easy to use its easy configuration and having the possibility to have the platform a few days to know how it was used was why I decided it was the perfect software that would serve me for the marketing work for its design options that are very good and creative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Download the mobile app to have the pleasure of working from other places where you will find me but I did not like the way it works because it is very slow to execute the actions that I want to be done, besides that because it is such a small screen the menu same as the desktop and could not work in the same way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefit is to have this platform that helps the improvement of marketing in the company having a more orderly control of sales and a follow-up of each campaign that is sent to know how was your percentage of success and the margin of error that can occur for not re-committing this type of situation and improve more and more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

iContact provides enough flexibility to create stunning emails. Contact management is amazing, as we can enter all our contacts, put them onto different lists and choose which lists they would like to be a part of, so it provides many data fields to fill in information. Also, iContact is constantly adding new features, giving us more powerful tools to advance in our projects. It allows us to call customer support whenever we need, and we rarely have to be on hold for much time. Besides, the customer service members are always easy to talk to, talking like real people and not a machine. They always listen carefully, explain what the problem is and find solutions in a couple of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

After you have collected enough data, you have to manually examine the stats. I don’t know the reason for that, but it tends to be confusing for our team. Also, navigation on their site can be a bit tricky as it doesn't allow you to separate field name and field label. Another thing we would like to see is a larger variety of templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

iContact is well-suited for medium organizations, but I consider it would be short for larger companies. I think it doesn't have enough features to create the demands these type of organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a medium-sized business, iContact has given us enough capabilities to cover all emailing we need in every single department of the whole company. The service provided by iContact is above all else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

iContact comes with several relevant features, but email features are the most used in my company, at least three times a week. As someone very familiar with some CMS platforms, I appreciate they try to keep CMS best practices. The customer support team is very professional, and they take care of many technical issues in just a couple of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

The lack of customization is the probably what I dislike the most. Also, if I want to upload segments I'm not allowed to do it right away, as I have to export the list (segmented in a spreadsheet), upload the segments, create the two versions of the email and send them. This takes a lot of time for our team. I also dislike when there are some situations where I am forced to purchase a plugin to work effectively with my content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

iContact is an excellent tool I definitely recommend for every marketing and sales team. However, consider some HTML work is mandatory in order to create emails. If you decide to purchase, consider this and prepare your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the Marketing and Sales department, we use iContact to create small sites without the complications of a traditional CMS. Also, it allows our clients to access to important text copy, giving us the option to republishthe same content on another platform, which is good, and we're definitely thinking of using in the future. Every member of our sales team uses this email campaign platform to reach out for our audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
