ClickDimensions Review

It is a really in-depth Marketing Automation solutions that has plenty of features that I haven't always seen from other similar platforms. On top of landing pages, emails, social media which almost everyone has, they include surveys, text campaigns, really in-depth analytics, and more. It has it slight differences from other CRM's I've used, but I enjoy it.

Pros

I love the different ways you can go about building emails and landing pages, you basically don't need to know coding to build a high-quality email or landing page!

Cons

I wish there was an option, like Hubspot has, that you can build a pop-up form and simply enter what URL you want it to show up on and just like that you have a form. Everything on ClickDimensions requires an embed code and that's it.

Very powerful marketing automation tool

My overall experience with this product is great. The support is surprisingly helpful and available during normal business hours. It's always a real person and they can always get your sorted out quick if you have an issue. At their price point there really isn't any reason not to at least try it and see what you can get out of it.

Pros

I have used this tool for a very long time and seen it evolve and consistently improve over the years. I personally love the forms provided by this suite. They are very easy to customize for other uses besides a contact/lead submission. The campaign automation engine/UI is satisfying to work with and supplies all functionality one would need. Cost for this tool is very competitive as well. You aren't charge for storage of images or any of the "extras" but only for the quantity of emails sent.

Cons

I really wish there was a way to emulate Outlook (desktop) when testing email HTML/CSS. I haven't personally worked with any marketing software that can sufficiently expose all the antiquated CSS blemishes that come with Outlook desktop but a little intellisense to help highlight when you are using a class that is prohibited would be incredible.

ClickDimensions does not meet even basic standards as a product or company

The company is clearly focused on growing all the areas of the product, but fails to support the existing functionality. It was evident that the dependence on Microsoft is their current asset for winning business, but that will change. That's when this company will have to stand on its merits of support and product performance. I suspect they will not be successful at that time. What you have read in areas of these reviews regarding their support team and lack of knowledge, is absolutely true. We wasted countless hours re-educating their own team to only have no resolution.

Pros

It is closely integrated with Microsoft Dynamics. While this is a plus, it is also why ClickDimensions fails to provide great support. There is a constant challenge between the information available in CD and Dynamics and this becomes a massive hurdle in getting support.

Cons

Lack of consistent functionality was a major issue. We had exceptional problems with the product. It repeatedly would not perform the way expected, and working with their support teams was not at all a positive experience. We would be 'escalated' to another team repeatedly, yet no resolution. And, then we would be starting all over. They were not at all proactive about researching the issues or testing. They placed all the responsibility on the client, even though it was proven over and over again that something was not working. In our case, nearly 20% of our substantial email lists were not even being selected to send. On the Dynamics side it was definitely functioning right.

Seamless symbiosis within Dynamics 365

Pros

Delivers what is desired - content creation and automation Part of Microsoft 365 (as an App into Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales) Replaces proprietary solutions like Mailchimp, Typeforms etc. Sweet ratio price/added value Amazing informational ecosystem - you can read and watch everything about ClickDimensions

Cons

Bit longer learning curve At this time not fully turned on new UI

Confusing, not user friendly, but once you get it figured out, it works pretty well

We're using it actively, but things just break for no reason sometimes.

Pros

I like the ability to create, send, and track email marketing, but it's so hard to learn the platform, and the support is pretty lacking.

Cons

when I get support, there's 2-3 different ways to do things, and no one seems to agree on the best way.
