What do you like best about Ontraport?

When I decided to dramatically uplevel my consulting business - The Yogipreneur - I knew my business model was shifting from 1 to 1 services to online training programs. As I started to build out my suite of training programs, I quickly realized that I needed 5 different solutions {membership software, video hosting, automated email marketing, affiliate management, and shopping cart} to handle what Ontraport offered in ONE. I love that all my programs can exist under one roof - especially since many of my clients end up purchasing several different program - and they can log into my membership site ONCE to access them all. Since moving to Ontraport, I've easily seen 3X growth in my business in the past 2 years {with my revenues moving from 80% 1 on 1 consulting to 80% online training programs}.

Update August 2014 - At this time, after experiencing little to no support from Ontraport as my business continued to grow, I have moved to Simplero.com - a similar all-in-one platform with incredibly 1x1 support and personalized service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

Ontraport has features upon features and I'm slowly learning them all! I really didn't have the time to master the software before using it... and that's been the greatest weakness. I'm thrilled to know that Ontraport is now certifying people to use it - I'm excited that my team will be able to become experts and it will be easier to hire people for specific projects.

Update August 2014 - After spending over 2 years {that's over $7200} on Ontraport and never utilizing all the features, PLUS needing to hire developers to run my membership site, I've dramatically reduced my ongoing expenses with Simplero.com. It got to the point where I was looking at spending another $1,000 per month on a team member just to manage Ontraport.

The real straw that broke the camels back was the diminishing level of support. It seemed that as Ontraport grew, the "personal super hero" I was supposed to have on call dissapeared and I was left to figure a LOT out on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Ontraport, I replaced 5 different systems that were clunky and held together with duct tape. Seriously - when you're building a business that depends on online programs being delivered, there is nothing worse than dealing with lots of support questions because access to a program wasn't delivered when they checked out... or realizing that a payment was missed and having to manually follow-up. Ontraport makes all the systems work together seamlessly + dramatically simplifies all the processes you need to run your biz!

Update August 2014 - Yes, Ontraport does many many things... but I was not able to utilize many of them without needing additional support, which I couldn't get from Ontraport without paying their conceirge team {which always had a wait list} or hiring a consultant. So much happier with the support I'm receiving at Simplero.com

I would say only go after Ontraport if you're really planning to utilize the if-then tagging capabilities and do much more advanced marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ontraport Overview

What is Ontraport?

If you’re like most organizations, you have a collection of tech tools that you’ve strung together over time: website builder, email platform, payment processor, and much more.

Successful enterprises do it differently: They know that having one central database, tightly integrated with their core business functions, is the only way to deliver high-quality customer experiences at scale. Enterprise level platforms are popular for exactly this reason. But they’re complex and expensive — out of reach for most. Ontraport gives you access to this professional-grade power. It’s designed to be managed by anyone, and it’s priced for teams with budgets to stick to. For more information, visit www.ontraport.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

Everything is interconnected for me. There is really no indepth planning for a small business. There are wizards and systems to get most of it working. ONtraport Univeristy Videos to learn about the new way of thinking about your business process and client communication.

I also must mention the tech support. I am sitting at a Dashboard stuck on where I need to do something and just reachout to support in a chat window and within minutes, I am off and running with a video of how to move pages to my domain in one fell swoop. I had been doing it all individually. Time saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

It's really hard to wrap your head around the ecosystem and I have not had to bolt on any apps to meet a need.

Weirdly my biggest complaint so far is that I feel like I am missing something becuase its too easy. There should have been more hoops. I think its just change management for my brain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I had several apps bolted together to have a fairly basic site that got me leads for my business. Each change I wanted to make had its own challenges working with the others. Throw in Ai and its spending too much time on the digitial side of the business and not enough on the work. Each new solution was adding a new cost as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Ontraport?

edited to add: i am fangirling their whole damn support team. they are dreamy.

Ontraport impresses me for two reasons.

First, OP is the first platform that has me believing that an all-in-one platform is a good choice. Over the past year I've looked at a number of CRMs, LMSs, and ESPs, and I didn't like any all-in-one options so I was prepared to stitch together different platforms to get the experience I'm after. But as I've explored OP during the trial period I can see its power for my future business - the business I'm building toward over the next year. I can totally see how putting these systems in place while the business is still smal will be very smart over the longer haul. I can see the way it will save me time. I can see the way I can more easily bring team-members on. It's very exciting.

Second, their customer service is TO DIE FOR. My first call didn't go super well and I shared that feedback -- in the post-support survey and also with the person who recommended OP to me. Next thing I knew the SWAT team had swooped in, and everybody was on deck to make sure I was taken care of. I get extra TLC from a VP, a long call with an account exec, and very attentive support in the chat. They understood my questions, kept me focused on the most crucial things I needed to know to launch my membership, and helped me see what was possible and how to do it with my very short deadline.

The people truly are extraordinary, and are 100% the reason I'm signing on as a new client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

The price -- with a caveat.

I've been exploring membership sites and that's my primary use for OP right now. Given that, I wish it had a better entry price point, since I'm not looking for an all-in-one CRM/ESP/payment platform/course platform etc.

That said, for its full power, I think OP is well-priced. And much to my surprise, the trial period has me thinking about how well OP will serve my future business. So I'm willing to pay more now with the hope that it's the right move longer-term. But it *is* more than I would pay if I were just choosing a membership platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I came to Ontraport to explore a membership platform. I really want a platform that has a community chat feature, which they don't all have. I also wanted a user-friendly design for my members. Other platforms I've looked at have had one but not both. Ontraport has them both. Add to that the simplicity of payment processing and integrations and I'm very happy with OP as a solution.

Even more, it is simple to set up email automations and reminders within the membership, and now that I can do that I can imagine using it as my ESP and my CRM moving forward. So they're solving a problem I wasn't looking to solve because I had another solution...but OP's solution looks better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

I most like the support that Ontraport gives you. As I was buidling my first Membership site, they really held my hand and took me through it, helping me with my mistakes or queries. i especially like the videos they make that explain everything step by step in my site, so I can copy and learn within my own site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

For the amount of stuff it gives you there is nothing to disline. It's easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ontraport helps me reach out to my clients and through their membership site allows me to help more people than when I'm working 1 on 1, so it' s very complementary to our practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

I have found the onboarding support to be super helpful, as I'm not a super techy person. Being able to walk through the set up to get a high level overview to correctly set things up to build upon was really helpful and time saving. I really like having all of my systems in one place. My online courses, membership site, sales pages, checkout pages, and email automations are all in ontraport. Pretty much hands off, once it's set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

The support used to be amazing, but sometimes depending on who you get on the live chat, it's limited in how much they can advise you, especially when your systems get more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

Ontraport is a highly flexible CRM and sales platform and the ease of implementation by way of the support teams onboarding skills was a massive part of my decision to choose this. Sure it's possible to nickel and dime your way through all of the various facets with a selection of alternate products but this is pretty much a one stop shop for all marketing teams of most sizes. It's pricey for small businesses but when your time is at a premium, for me it's a no brainer.

Ontraport offer a support team which in my experience is absolutely second to none. The team are constantly working on feature enhancements and it's virtually unheard of to have senior management not only hanging out in a user group but actively responding to questions and queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

It's a really highly customisable platform but the down side is that it can be difficult to find the specific item you're looking for. This has been offset somewhat by the huge Ontraport University funciton which has videos and guides for most things and also the top notch live chat and support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I host a variety of online courses on Ontraport and also have an automated sales funnel at the front end of this. It captures leads from my website (ontraform embedded) and I'm going to be looking at more of the deep sales funnel social media aspects which were released in recent months Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

The immediate customer support available is of very high level. All of my questions and queries when i run into problems are solved in an efficient and professional manner. The flexibility when creating automations is also great. I would reccomend Ontraport to others as i found the customer service, features and ease of use great. I use the system every day and love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

Having customers only being able to opt-in to SMS comms by filling out an Ontraport form is diffcult as many of our event registrations come from Facebook lead forms and therefore when ending up in our database are not opted in to receive text messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ontraport?

I LOVE the customer support at Ontraport. In a world where other companies are impossible to get in touch with, and impossible to get customer support, I HIGHLY recommend Ontraport. Their customer support is outstanding, and the platform is solid, and works as it is intended to about 99% of the time. When it doesn't work exactly as I'd like it to- then well, I contact customer support, and they do a consistently phenomenal job of supporting me, even when I'm pretty sure they'd want ot pull their hair out, because I'm alwasy pushing the boundaries of what the service can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ontraport?

It is not for the faint of heart, and is not the simplest platform to use. The only thing that the solution does NOT have is a built in shopping cart, and built in contracts. I get around that by using other platforms, or integrating multiple platforms together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows me to do lead management, lead capture, email management, and a ton of things within my business. I use it for landing pages, events, membership courses, and the list goes on. I generally buy and use endlessly the software that I purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
