Value like no other

We are able to manage thousands of clients via lead scoring. Something impossible to do unless you have a marketing automation tool.

PROS

Sam.ai has the best value of all it's competitors. In my last role as a VP of Sales and marketing I had to evaluate Oracle Eloqua, Pardot from SalesForce and Sam.ai -After almost three months of interviews with all platforms, Demos and pricing conversations SAM.ai was hands down the best value for any organization. SAM's platform offered the same or better tools than all its competitors , but pricing was constructed in a way that was scalable and affordable.

CONS

I didn't need the images on the Icons on the navigation. A simple Icon could have done the trick.

Vendor Response

Alex, thanks for the great review. We appreciate your honesty.

Get Smart with SAM

SAM offers a suite of various applications. You can organize your contacts, maintain relevant information and therefore stay on top of your pipeline. You have access to key metrics in real time which enables you to see the results and the ROI. Once again, come back to me when I have learned more. However, one can see the robust intelligence of this product. In addition, Raz and his team have the patience to teach, recommend, suggest so that you can feel comfortable in reaching out for support.

PROS

There are many software features that enable me to recommend this product. SAM's ability to take a name, a lead and inform you of all those items that you could and should know. Following up on leads through the email blasts and templates ; specifically following the journey of those that have open and clicked. Downloading the information of who to follow is easy through the reports you can make. These are all just a part of this productive software.

CONS

It may not be considered a "con". It is more to the individual. This is a robust software that combines the sales, the marketing, the management, prediction and reporting withe ease of use. The only "con" is that there is so much to learn, either through the training, the support or the videos. So come to me in a few months when I know more!

Vendor Response

Naomi, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business and loyalty.

Great Asset, Low Cost

Overall, my team has saved time by implementing one unified platform. The billing has been easier and all of my data is stored in one place.

PROS

The ease of use and familiarity. Additionally, coming from a finance perspective, the cost savings as well as SAM's ability to replace multiple platforms and logins has saved my team countless hours over the past couple of years.

CONS

As a SaaS platform it has the standard limitations and drawbacks that you would expect. I would like to have someone come in twice per year to train my team on the new features.

Good value and feature set

PROS

The features for bulk emailing are good and steadily improving. The SAM team is responsive and listens to my needs

CONS

Still waiting on some additional features. I'm not the typical CRM customer so I'm patient as higher priority work is done sooner.

Reasons for switching to SAM

The emailing features were close enough and the value with SAM was greater. And when I start to need a full suite of CRM tools, I'll have it right under my fingers.

I LOVE this platform!

PROS

I loved the ease of the initial import (just match fields and hit save), the gathering of AI on each Lead (this gathers up interests and topics, obtains social media profiles as well which is super helpful!). Adding in new Leads is super easy - you can go in to create one by one, or do a quick add by the spreadsheet function. It is really nice to have multiple options to add in a Lead!

CONS

This seems a little pricey, however, you get what you pay for. This CRM offers a massive amount of features and customization, so I can understand why this isn't one of the less expensive platforms.

Thanks for your feedback Jennifer. We are glad that you are happy with our service.
