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.

I have used different social media tools in the past including Hootsuite and Buffer but Content Studio is the next level. It has a lot of good features and functionalities that will ease your life.

Extremely easy to use, effective in content research, content creation and content publishing, I really love the discover and publish modules in this software.

Great product features, cost effective solution.

Brilliant all in one tool, makes taming social media a joy. Very powerful and useful and has replaced numerous other tools for me.

I like the Discover feature most about ContentStudio. The feature lets you find, analyze, and share popular and top-performing content.

Content Studio makes it super easy to find quality content before everybody and provide it to your community. It has been a game-changer for us.

This is terribly unprofessional and is horrible for our agency and clients.

The product is great based on how it was marketed and it is a great tool. Used across 3 brands and does this with ease.

I love the integration of all Social Media accounts, plus the ability to search and campaign under one roof so to speak.

Its been great, I love being able to schedule everything in advance and have data to backup my content.

Content Studio's great for finding fantastic content to share with your audience and it's automation features save a lot of time.

In the 2+ years I've been using the app, it has continued to improve, which is a sign the owners are invested in its success.

If I had ot point out a lack, it has to be that they do not have competitor​ tracking. Am I asking for too much?).

What I like best are the integrations. All major social networks are supported.

Ve contacted their support team, and they’ve always been helpful and friendly.

M super happy with it and I'm looking forward to upgrade to a bigger plan because that means my agency is doing well and you guys are to thank.

The price is very reasonable and customer service is excellent.

An excellent app, easy to use with a beautiful interface and very comfortable. Many features and continually updated.

I will save a lot of money compared to those who will pick the monthly subscription. Plus, it is a better compared to Buzz sumo, buffer, sprout social, Hootsuite or Agora pulse.

The automation feature is great. As a solopreneur I love the ability quickly source, schedule and post my content.

Great software built for anyone to be able to use and amazing value.

It's a tool with loads of great features and it excellent value for money.

I had to reinstall the app a few times to refresh, but still I was facing problems.

As a programmer, I know to expect bugs and I wasnt too frustrated. That was literally my only negative experience with the software.

I have yet to be able to find anything that bothers me.

The workflow ContentStudio allows is simply brilliant. The team behind it are really helpful and accept suggestions and welcome feedback.

Easy to use, powerful & help us saving huge effort. And the most important is improving our brand authority through posting content consistently.

Very useful for finding and scheduling the posting of content; very easy to use; good integrations with replug make this a very powerful combination indeed.

Have had some scheduling issues where something didn't post when it should, part of that was user error on my part in trying to learn it.

To bad replug is not included in the software.

User friendly & modern interface. I love that they are always doing improve the software.

Loving it and very happy with the customer support experience.

I am having problem with connecting IG to content studio. All IG posts does not appear on Analyze tab.

Ease of use and multi-tasking are big benefits.

Super easy to set up, feeds are great, there's nothing not to like about Content Studio.
