What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The look of the emails. So far they are not helpful at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Everything else. I am in the middle of a customer service nightmare with them. It feels like it's a game to them, and unfortunately, it's infuriating to me. The sales team lied to me about what they provide and what I would still do to be able to produce my emails and content. They are refusing to correct the technical issues I have experienced using their platform, and the most infuriating part is they refuse to talk to me about it. You are not provided with a direct line to your account manager, and your account manager will flat out refuse to talk to you, as will their supervisors. Forget about trying to downgrade your account, the people who handle that are too busy to talk to you as well. They tell you you need to schedule a time to talk to your account manager, soonest theyre available, 2 WEEKS FROM NOW!!! Want to downgrade so your not wasting so much money on them, you have to schedule for that, when is that person available, they don't have an answer for that, but they will be in touch with you.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I struggle to find anything to put here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

We signed up with Outbound Engine with high hopes they would help us grow and post content for us. Thinking they would be able to do what they say they could, we signed a 1-year deal. After using them now for 4 months, we are very unhappy with the product they offer! The content they post is not relevant, and we have not gotten one lead from the service. We are stuck using them even though the service is terrible because we signed a 1-year contract. I would recommend going with another company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Find another company and stay away from Outbound Engine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The tracking ability of their blasts they send for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

The information OutBound Engine sends is not relevant to my industry. They have not done what they said would be done. We signed a 1-year agreement with them so we are stuck with a service that does nothing to generate business for us. WARNING Stay clear of working with OutBound Engine.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

Nothing.. other than set up. It is not some of the rep's fault their service doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

They trick you into a "verbal contract" which is unheard of - I have tried cancelling for over a year - consistantly for the past 5 months - I call at least monthly and demand cancellation of services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I was looking for a program initially that would help me manage my clients, as I had a difficult time keeping my current and past clients' contacts organized. I wanted to be able to reach out to past clients regarding recurring shoots and potential jobs, and I wanted some way to let them know what I was up to so I was top of mind whenever they needed to book a job. OutboundEngine streamlines this outreach process, and their content is professional and thorough without looking too sales-y. It has addressed the disorganization issue while bringing in new leads and initiating recurring jobs with past clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

OutboundEngine is an expensive service, which was hard to justify at first since I am just getting my business off the ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving the aforementioned issue of disorganization with client contacts. I want to be able to reach out to previous clients regarding job needs, and wanted a way to stay top of mind that was enjoyable for them without seeming like a sales pitch. I have seen a good return on investment with OutboundEngine and I have gotten back in touch with some previous clients! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The campaign marketing was great, the topics were on the money, and they sent out a campaign every couple of weeks. They were very supportive during this pandemic and very helpful in getting my payments pushed when I needed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Your locked into a contract. At the time I became a client I didn't realize I would be locked into a contract for a year. Being a new business owner that was a struggle sometime to make the payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

The company is very diligent in making sure you succeed as a business. The campaigns are great, the topics and branding is on point. Customer service is spectacular and they follow up with you on a monthly call. I would recommend them to anyone, however if your not in a financial position to be locked in a contract this may not be for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outbound has helped with the branding of my business and to get my name out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so very useless and way too expensive for nothing worthwhile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Sales person lied and said I could get out of it after the initial 6 months. Buyer beware. Customer service is atrocious. They say I am stuck paying $299 a month for another 6 months for a cheesy newsletter that no one read. $299 for a newsletter...ridiculous...Totally not willing to work out a deal to have customer be satisfied. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I can recommend actual products that work. Be in touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

None none and more none. Useless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
