What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The fact that they post on my social media and send email blasts with engaging content, on my behalf. All I have to do is give them the contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

The price. It really is a great service, and the customer service is next to none, but for a start up it's truly not affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've discontinued my service recently. But there was a lot of benefit to OE. And their analytics and tracking was superb. I sold a lead after seeing interaction on my desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I liked that they claim they could handle everything and write the content that it was supposed to be current Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

I thought there content was uninformed and at best meaningless in general to what is happening today. I suggested this level of content was not as shown to me prior to enrolling in their program, that i felt very mislead.

I tried to suggest they need to do additional research and add current issues to their content that was important today., affecting all of us. That there Issues were not relevant to todays issues, they had no interest. or concern . I tried to explain to them the issues affecting tax laws, etc, they could have addressed so many important issues each month, instead there content was simply a waste of time and energy to even open and read content.

I work with high net worth clients the material was meaningless.

All they wanted to do was threaten me and tell me I signed a 12 month contract there there no cancelations and there company was going to enforce it, no concerns to my business or issues i had with their performance, content.and/ or if i was satisfied with their services.

In today economic environment who wants to do business with a company like that, with that attitude? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

I would not use their current content myself, i would write my own content and allow them to use it in social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We simply could not solve the issues nor do i believe they cared. All they did was threaten me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I didn't like anything "best" about my experience. I liked nothing with this particular company. I fell for the upfront promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Signed up for 12 months of what was promised to be amazing Outbound Engine content, systems, and customer service. ALL are sub-par from this company. Their posts are mostly not relevant, and non compatible with social media algorythims. I have a large database and user interaction with Outbound Engine content is the lowest I've seen in years. A call to customer service to cancel after giving them a 6month chance to prove themselves, only yields a frustrating conversation with a entitled, "do no wrong" millennial on the other end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Skip this company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hot air and big promises up front, only to be disappointed later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The knowledge and availability of the marketing team. If I get stuck, I feel that I will be well taken care of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

At times because they are so experienced in social media, I feel they go too fast for me. I'm a dino when it comes to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Set up your social media accounts first if you don't have them yet. It will save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I realize the value of social media in marketing and connecting with potential clients, yet I seem to have a block when it comes to putting myself out there. Outbound engine helps me do that and makes it easy to respond to potential clients. It's like a whole new world has opened up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The only good thing about it is that it forces me to be regular with communicating to past clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Pretty much everything else. I don't care what your fake research says, emailing people every two weeks is way too much. And the content is incredibly generic and lame. If your going to badger people 2x a week, you better be brining it with some amazing content. I could go on, but I don't intend to do your job for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Only use this if you are incredibly lazy or incredibly busy, I am a little of both. If you can do your own marketing on your own, and bring more valuable content to your client, you should. This marketing material was written by high school kids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

Outbound Engine will take care of most of our social media and email campaigns which will free us up to generate leads and work other aspects of our business. We like that they have professional writers that will be posting on current market conditions on a national scale - we can then adapt our local social media/email campaigns to the same topic, just from a local or regional viewpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Because this is new to us, we're trusting that the content will be valuable and appropriate for our SOI and warm contacts - it's always difficult giving up control of information that is sent out with your name on it! Not that this is a dislike; it's just currently an unknown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Still too new in the system to recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freeing up time for our operations director to focus on other things. We have a new agent coming aboard; this gives us the time to train and work with her in an effort to shorten her learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
