What do you like best about iContact?

It gets the job done. If you're looking for 'just the basics', iContact is right for you. It does what you need it to do, but lacks the bells and whistles other platforms offer. For a simple and easy-to-use solution, iContact may be the perfect solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

There are some real areas of opportunity for iContact. From a design perspective, it's difficult and cumbersome to design emails if you're not a graphic designer (not easy to plug-and-play). List management is not intuitive or easy to manage (compared with other platforms). Analytics for delivery are less than industry average, which may indicate that it's getting stuck in pesky spam filters. The design capabilities are a bit limited, somewhat handicapping design creativity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

It gets the job done. Not as easily as you may like. Not as quickly as you may like (the learning curve is a bit steep). List management is not easy to slice and dice, but it's doable. In short: iContact absolutely gets you there, but won't be the slickest, fastest, most streamlined way to go about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Event invitation, firm-wide promotion and sharing of news, external email campaigns, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

The interface is extremely well thought out, easy to navigate, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Would be great if unused resources could be carried over to the next period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

Avoid "blind" contacts at all costs. These are at best, money leaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

By far the biggest problem that iContact solves is the risk associated with conducting email-based business activity on the internet. Overzealous anti-spam systems and ISP "cops" were making it impossible to attempt any email-based marketing before we found iContact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

I like how you can easily create emails on it, using pre-made templates. It was very easy to utilize and send out emails with, I also like how it ties into salesforce, so you can keep all of your emails in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I dislike how sometimes when I needed to hyperlink something, it would change the color of my font and it took me about 8 tries to get it how I wanted it to be. Sometimes the formatting got messed up very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

I would use a much more advanced email software over this. It is kind of annoying to work with. It's easy but can be annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used this to get customers known about products and promotions that we had at a previous company. I sent emails out through it , and looked at data on who was opening and not opening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

iContact offers a knowledgeable staff that will assist you with setup, any issues, concerns etc. The system is relatively easy to use and executes easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I feel that iContact could simplify the software to make it easier for novice users. There is a small amount of ramp-up time to learn how to use it thoroughly and seamlessly. The pricing model is high for startups and small businesses making it difficult for them to purchase a monthly subscription on an ongoing basis. Other software is more competitively priced and has a shorter ramp-up time. They do offer a free account; however, it's very limited in how many contacts you can send to each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The software checks off many boxes; we can create newsletters, coupons, and landing pages quickly. It has saved us time when creating new creative copy for prospects and current clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
