What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like the new design (easier to use) and how you can create bespoke reports and change the layout of records. We import data monthly from other system and it's very helpful to be able to use settings from a previous import. It's also a helpful tool to keep record of GDPR requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Some technical problems aren't quickly solved. For example not being able to automatically update fields in contact records using the employer (related record) information without having to open and save each of them (impossible when there are thousands).

Implementation has been quite challenging, but changes in our organisation (new team) and in Workbooks (our account manager) are related to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Making information available and accessible to different members of the team.

Keeping data organised.

Keeping track of leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks is amazing for helping you segment the audience you want to reach and target it effectively.

The marketing is automated, thereby helping you save money, but the downside of that is that the marketing gets less personalized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to save a lot of money that was previously used for separate tools (one for marketing, others for process order, customer service etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I don't really have anything bad to say about Workbooks CRM however if I did have to choose one thing to be improved it would be the look and feel of the software - it could be a bit more modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the tool's interface was, and the "onboarding" phase was nice, and I liked that I could skip the initial set up and jump right in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Very little. What I like best is completing marketing without the hinderance of Communigator! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

A slow platform that is not robust. Complicated campaign set-up. Unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Avoid GatorMail from Workbooks. You will spend more time raising support requests than actually completing effective marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This has caused nothing but business problems. We are a marketing consultancy that has experience of other marketing automation software and are fully versed in marketing automation techniques. This system consumed staff time, rather than being an enabler. A number of errors and limitations to the system meant we were left with landing pages and forms not working, triggered emails inoperable and workflows were not sophisticated enough to meet our requirements. So this just left us using it as an email send system, this then started to fail. Send statistics seemed to vary and be inconsistent and the ‘drag and drop’ editor is slow and flaky. A fault also crept in with email sign-up, so new registrants were not being included in email sends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
