Powerful and user friendly marketing automation suite with excellent customer support.

Excellent customer service, fantastic training program, continued support.

My experience has been great. We don't have an overly complicated marketing plan and this does everything that we need it to do.

Great for hosting multiple account instances, dedicated IP address, and easy to navigate.

Locked into a major contract, which even with their lack of performance, is tough to leave. Their UI is really, really bad.

I have used and reviewed many tools, but i will say Act-On is my favorite. Easy to use, and the best customer service of any of it's competitors.

It’s been a great tool but because we couldn’t utilize all the features internally, we had to hire a consultant.

Main dislike: More personalization for our sales force to view how their customers are responding.

They have been limited on their choices of stock email templates, but in August 2014, they are releasing a new builder, which should fix this tiny problem.

Their support is amazing now that they have the live chat option.

Our sales team is massively impressed with the capabilities and insights that Act-on provides through the integration with our CRM tool.

Ease of use and template share between markets is great.

Customer support is excellent, and the constant release of point upgrades and additional, no-charge functionality is awesome. We have massively improved the quality and volume of qualified leads.

Unfortunently there was no integration with our Sage CRM so in ways we were automating but then just creating more manual work on our part because of the lack of integration.

Reporting is quite good and easy to understand. Love the continuous product improvements that are made.

Great Automation Program, Especially for SugarCRM Users.

The product and Customer Support are great. Act-On was our company's first marketing automation platform, and there are others out there, but I think our decision was a good one.

This was disappointing and one of the reasons we bought it. No improvements have been made recently.

Our sales team loves Act-On, and how much control they have over what they see, and we in marketing love the intuitive interface and the ease of setting up nurturing campaigns.

This software has great features. Act On is easy to use with the available instructions and other help information.

Decent if you already have it and infrequently email. There are better solutions at lower prices.

My favorite piece is the email marketing (including their fantastic A/B testing), and their automated programs. Integrates extremely well with Salesforce.

Usability is very bad, and support is not very helpful when things are malfunctioning.

Since the very beginning of our relationship with Act-On, they have been helpful and have always been improving the product. It is a very intuitive tool and makes marketing fun and effective.

Overall, Dynamics CRM is the biggest problem; however, if Act-On is going to support its integration with the platform, it has to better understand it. Besides that, I like the tool.

Need more some updates! it sometimes lags when it browsing different sites and options.

We switched to Act On to be able to take advantage of setting up automated campaigns based on user behavior both in our emails and on our website.

Act-On has supplied us with a platform to create quality looking emails and marketing materials with ease.

The platforms has some strong segmentation abilities and offers a lot of integrations with other tools.

Overall I would give Act-On a low pass. The issues with customer service, slightly overpriced and the lack of proper development plagued my experience.

Once you learn it, you realize how nice of a tool it is. Email campaigns, lead scoring, assessing total voice of customer -- it's all there.

There are some missing features here and there that can be difficult to find workarounds in their templated pages.

Love the ability to connect through paypal and other payments. Very modernized templates.

When I made a mistake while building the website I found it hard just to undo that one mistake, often I’d have to start a large section again.

It was so easy to use and the themes were stunning, site animations were awesome, and there is a lot of integration and built features that make creating a business easy.

Customer service is awesome, and they're more than willing to help you with complex requests, such as coded integrations.

Really good, the customer service is excellent. Once you get around building your site, I love it.

Ongoing cost can be a burden as they have you hooked but that's about all the negative I experienced.

I love how beautiful the site looks. I love how well it integrates with SEO.

All of their templates showcase this element in clean and modern designs. Their fonts are fantastic and much better than their competition.

I love Squarespace for my side businesses that need a built in e-commerce store. I love the functionality and the ease of use.

For the price, this is probably the best option out there though honestly. Good competitor if you dont like WordPress.

Square space is super easy to use and set up a simple site. I loved the templates they offer they look professional and are super nice.

I love the ease of use and beautiful, classy layouts. The customer support is fantastic.

Too expensive, not as customizable, templates really limited, all websites look the same, lack of real guidance.

It's easy to build, edit and just beautiful. It also comes with great tutorials on how to build a powerful website.

The pricing bundles and promotions are great compared to competitors. The customer service is some of very best I’ve ever dealt with.

Squarespace has been really useful on developing personal webpages with great quality, both on interactivity and visual level.

Our overall experience with Squarespace has been awesome. It's the best website building tool.

I love its templates, ease of use, and simplicity. Compared to its competitor which price is only half of Squarespace, I'm satisfied with Squarespace though.

I think the biggest advantage that this has is its ease of use. I also love all the templates because it makes the design so clean and modern.

I've had a great experience. Strong customer service presence, and a beautiful product all around.

They all just seemed very plain and boring. Some of the ways they would look on a phone were definitely weird.

A solid CMS with clean design, good integrations.

Overall Squarespace is a great option for anyone wanting to build their own website easily and effectively. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to build their own website.

I love the analytics page. It is a wonderful too to help keep on top of your website traffic etc.

Sometimes the squares can be difficult to move around and can change the entire look and layout of the landing page if accidentally moved in the wrong way.
