The unicorn of email outreach software

I use a lot of marketing software and our experience with Woodpecker has been above and beyond. This team has crafted a product that fills an important need in marketing and deeply understands its users. They've solved problems for users from all angles -- from the software to the support team. Highly recommend.

PROS

* User-friendly UI - they've done the work to make the software easy for beginners * Programming automation sequences is easy - they've perfected this so anyone can write powerfully effective drip sequences with conditional logic (like engagement-based "if" campaigns and alternative follow-up flows) * Simplified prospect management - you can see where any prospect is in a campaign and how they've engaged * Reporting for daily/weekly/monthly metrics - no-nonsense CSV output * Quick and helpful customer support - Woodpecker is made up of an incredible team who provides instant help and customer-friendly outcomes * Easy to integrate with both Google mail and Sendgrid * Competitive pricing - during our selection we looked at competitors and Woodpecker won the day for pricing and value

CONS

We got off the ground with the software fast. We integrated with our other systems fast. We saw results fast. I can't complain.

Woodpecker.co - Cold Mail Outreach on Autopilot

We have been using Woodpecker for about two years now, and we have found it to be a really impressive tool in our mission to streamline cold email outreach in our organization. We have also found that their support is really great and when we have had questions about the platform, we have always received the support we need as an organization.

PROS

Woodpecker.co takes the guesswork out of Cold Email Outreach. It is super easy to set up your company and mailbox using some of the native integrations with Google, Office365, SendGrid etc. Once set up, it is just as easy to build your campaign, set the cadence of your messages, and add prospects to the campaign. Campaigns can be built in a simple follow-on method, or you can use some of the conditional logic that comes built into Woodpecker.co to create an intelligent sequence based on the responses of your prospects. Woodpecker.co automatically pauses a campaign for a prospect if there is a response or when an autoreply or OOO-notification is received. The software will notify you when these OOO-notifications are received so that you can then go and re-date the campaign for that prospect. Woodpecker also boasts a very mature API, which if your organization has the skills, means that you can really stretch the usability of this platform into your propriatary systems.

CONS

The world needs an outreach automation platform that is truly multi-modal. By this, I mean a platform that can send outreach message from a range of channels such as mail, LinkedIn, SMS etc. Woodpecker.co is working towards this by building in a task integration that can set a manual task for you to reach out to a prospect via LinkedIn, once they have responded. Where it falls short is that there isn't an automation that creates this link automatically, but so far we have not found any software platform that can do this automatically, so this is not truly a shortcoming on Woodpecker's end. Would be really nice to have that though.

Reason for choosing Woodpecker.co

We chose Woodpecker.co on reputation more than any specific features. We also did not receive great pre-sales support from Reply.io and this was a clincher for us.

Reasons for switching to Woodpecker.co

For some reason, we found that our deliverability suffered a little while using LemList. We were looking for a more robust system and we have found that in Woodpecker.co

Easy to Use, Good Support

Solid product that's easy to use, great support. It doesn't do everything that a full-featured sales engagement solution does, but it does what it does very well (cold emailing) and is easy to use.

PROS

Woodpecker does a good job of managing sales email campaigns. It's great for a small company without a dedicated marketing/sales ops team, because anyone can quickly learn how to create and manage a campaign. The online help library is excellent, and online chat support is responsive and helpful. It doesn't have all the capabilities of a full sales engagement platform like Outreach, but it does a great job at its niche of cold email campaigns. With its ease of use and value pricing, it is ideal for small and medium sized companies.

CONS

As I said, it doesn't have all the capabilities of something like Outreach, but it's not going after that market. The only negatives are that the reporting is pretty basic and you don't have much control over customizing what data you want to see, etc. I've also found it a bit confusing to understand the nuances of how some data is stored at the global level and some at the campaign level, but I think this is inherent in any kind of system like this (and I wouldn't even try to do this in something like Outreach).

Slow software and bad support

PROS

It is cheaper than others and it promised user management(which doesn't work)

CONS

The software is slow, very slow, very-very-very slow. The customer support answers in a few hours and sometimes in a few days. Our employee cannot access to campaigns created by another employee, it's been 10 days already we've been writing to customer support with no result. Their [SENSITIVE CONTENT] sent us an automatic email with his LinkedIn, but it's been more than a week since he is not replying.

Vendor Response

Hello, I am genuinely sorry about your bad experience with our software. We recently had some performance problems that could disrupt a regular user routine. Some of those issues have already been fixed, and further optimization is underway. As for the poor customer support level that you have reported - I would like to review your case. Since you decided to remain anonymous in this review I have no way of identifying your account. Please send me an email and I promise I will investigate the matter thoroughly. Sincerely, Greg Andreasik Chief Customer Officer at Woodpecker.co

Getting better at sales outreach

Top-notch tool. I would recommend it to a friend.

PROS

I like the management of templates for emailing. I was able to add images, signatures, and links. Personalization was important for us, so adding changeable elements is a massive advantage of Woodpecker. I think they figured out well the import and export function. It relies on CSV files, but we manage to adjust key information and use them in email campaigns. Additionally, they have exceptional reporting on opened and bounced emails. The support was helpful in critical times, providing best practices and directing us to maximize the usage of the solution.

CONS

I think they should spend more time on providing best practices to help users avoid hitting spam filters and being blocked by the browser. Videos might be useful and online guidelines with best practices. Our domain was hit by the filters, because of the emailing, the website went down in the ranking.

Reasons for switching to Woodpecker.co

Looking for better pricing, templates and additional features.

Decent product, needs some work

Its not a bad product if they work out the kinks. I would probably give it another try if they added some of the additional features I messaged them about.

PROS

I signed up to this because it came highly recommended by others. But I encountered one issue after another when setting it up and eventually had to hire someone to do the rest since support wasn't helping as much as I would have liked. The layout is not bad, the best and only feature I really liked is that I can send out emails over time. But, that kept encountering issues as well which eventually left me to switch.

CONS

The cost wasn't as good as the alternatives I found. The 2nd thing I didn't like was the fact it kept freezing up when sending emails. Support did get them to unfreeze but that was after several hours were lost.

Reason for choosing Woodpecker.co

I did at first, then switched to the alternative that I still use to this day.

Reasons for switching to Woodpecker.co

The guy who installed Mautic messed something up, Woodpecker was the alternative that was suggested by others I work with.

Woodpecker - go to B2B e-mail automatization provider

It was intuitive for me to use and was really great for analyzing the campaigns, exporting, editing and adding contacts.

PROS

I really liked the quality of reports I could export from the platform. Easy to create AB testings and create automatization sequences.

CONS

The pricing was quite steep if You are a small company - with not that big of an e-mail subscriber list.

Reasons for switching to Woodpecker.co

Woodpecker is great!

This has been game changing software for our process as a lead gen company.

PROS

They are the best software out there for cold emailing campaigns. I can have a campaign running in a short amount of time (10-15 minutes), and the results speak for themselves. The data stays clean, and their automated point to point text emails have high deliverability rates.

CONS

Nothing yet, the only issue I had was dealing with the time zone between myself and support who is located in Poland. Easy to work around though!

The Best Cold Email Marketing Platform Around!

PROS

Woodpecker is super simple to use and the customer service is absolutely the best. Any time we have any questions they are quick and more than helpful. They go the extra mile to get us using the platform effectively and it has been more than effective for our needs!

CONS

Not sure I can think of anything I don't like right now. We aren't the most advanced user perhaps, so it satisfies our need of emailing potential clients perfectly.

Unparalleled Customer Service!

PROS

The product is easy to use and saves a lot of time on emailing and following up with prospects. Customer service from the team (e.g., [SENSITIVE CONTENT], [SENSITIVE CONTENT], [SENSITIVE CONTENT]) is incredible. They go to great lengths to ensure they don't just answer your questions but that you understand the answers and that you were able to be successful in implementing the solution. From [SENSITIVE CONTENT] creating and sending personal screen sharing videos walking me through a solution, to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] answering my daily questions with helpful links, to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] video calling me for 45 minutes to walk me through my campaigns and provide a myriad of suggestions on how to improve. They truly care about your success!

CONS

I only wish there was a way to equally distribute a large list of prospects across all active campaigns.

One of the great tools for cold email marketing and lead gen.

I`m so glad that I found the tool that helps me with a cold email marketing and also with clients database. I`ve used before Mailshake, eSputnik, Mailchimp, Close.io, mail250, but the Woodpecker.co is better, for me at least. Woodpecker has a great tracking system, absolutely nice and clean email validation and list cleaning. You can create such a great follow-ups with a lot of types of scenario.

PROS

Brilliant UI, great support and plans. Also Woodpecker.co has one of the best customers cards. And the most important: the emails are always delivered.

CONS

I don`t know what to say about cons, because this service is one of the greatest that I`ve seen and the price is also good.

Woodpecker is Top Notch for Email Marketing

We started evaluating an alternative email platform after a very bad experience with a competitor. Woodpecker's support team was able to schedule a demo the day of! Our contact was absolutely amazing at response time and making sure we had everything we needed. They have a 14-day free trial which is awesome to test out and get the hang of things. Pulling in all of our leads was a snap and we were able to use #TAGS in order to better sort our list these tags are SUPER useful, especially when we had to mark folks as Opted Out from our previous list. The email campaign interface is really user-friendly and you can easily capture key statistics. The only thing I would change is that the emails automatically default as a response. It would be nice if they were automatically one-off emails and you had the option to select as a response to the previous email only.

Woodpecker is a user-friendly email sending software

PROS

Woodpecker is super beginner friendly and has a pleasant interface. The pricepoint is really reasonable and their agency feature makes it REALLY easy for agencies to switch between accounts.

CONS

The major downside to Woodpecker is the lack of two very important features for email marketing: 1) A/B testing in order to find which variation of an email gets the best conversions 2) No easy way to do opt-out links; the current solution feels clunky and like an afterthought Overall, it is a great platform.
