Considered Both Products
Autoklose
Chose Autoklose
Most closely is SalesFlare and they directly pull in information for me and have a pipeline so it has been my go to for more important colder sequences as it has more end to end tracking
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, …
Chose Autoklose
Compared to Outreach, Autoklose is similar in the best ways. Both allow you to create email sequences that naturally appear to forward the previous message. Outreach is really intended for Salesforce users, so many of the features seem useless unless you use salesforce. …
Chose Autoklose
HubSpot CRM, Moosend, Salesforce CMS and Shared Contacts for Gmail
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose categorizes information on the display, it is easy to navigate through dashboards and features. In case something is unclear, the Support team always helps to figure it out quickly and clearly.
Chose Autoklose
Outranks them across the board including price, functionality, and customer support, etc.
Chose Autoklose
For me, the most important "why" I selected Autoklose against other platforms is because it had a cheaper price, a very professional team, and it has everything I needed in order to be productive, keep in touch with my team, and use my personal email. And one very important …
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose allows for much more personal emails rather than the typical "mass" email format used by Mailchimp and others. The emails from Autoklose truly look like one you would receive from any person and we have had much higher engagement from these rather than the standard …
Chose Autoklose
Other options have less effective user interfaces.
Chose Autoklose
We used this tool previously and it worked OK but did not integrate with Repfabric or provide the robust reporting as Autoklose.
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose was the first product of its kind that we tested out. Compared to mass emailing with Outlook Autoklose did wonders for our organization. It solved a problem that no other prospective person could do.
Chose Autoklose
Mailshake is more complicated because it's a direct email sender, but it gives you its opinion on the type of messages you may send. The advantage Autoklose takes is the data base and it's more of a lead gen system. LeadFuze is on course with Autokloze. It seems LeadFuze has …
Chose Autoklose
I haven't used any other actual products similar to Autoklose. I would do things manually, which took forever and often would fall to the bottom of my to-do list.
Chose Autoklose
It's quite similar to Yesware. Both have the great basic functionality of email outreach and simple data tracking. I believe Mixmax had already provided more functionality lately, so I'd tier it a step above. Outreach is on a different level and one of the industry leaders.
Chose Autoklose
I think that I have already said it, Autoklose has much better support and is really quick to set up and use compared with any of the other systems that I have used over the years.
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose provided a different set of tools that focused solely on ensuring accurate emails get sent. The other products were more focused on the CRM part or were significantly more expensive.
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose is a much more "sales" focused tool. It is great at getting emails to the right destination.
Chose Autoklose
Autoklose combines all the necessary resources for sending a campaign to a targeted (and clean) list of prospects. It sequences for me and is smart about removing leads from the process when they engage or respond. They give me easy-to-understand and act on reports of what …
Chose Autoklose
The ones I have used in the past were parts or pieces of the flow. Something goes wrong it's back and worth, this has to talk to that, I don't have the patience or the time. Now I can use one tool for a greater part of the client life cycle from lead to partner.
ReachMail
Chose ReachMail
In my opinion, ReachMail is a good competitor to MailChimp, probably has more features though and analytics to help organize information. There are also a lot more third party integrations that have helped us compared to other apps that we've tried before, but ReachMail has …
Chose ReachMail
In the past I researched Constant Contact and not only were they more expensive but gave little support for setting up your email.
Chose ReachMail
In the past I've used both Salesforce and QuotaFactory (now defunct) to send mass emails and both are far superior in presentation, if not functionality. Reachmail is probably fine when you have graphical content but for text emails it just doesn't stack up. I'll look into …
Chose ReachMail
Constant Contact: Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but …
Chose ReachMail
We use both reachmail and exact target for email deployment. Reachmail is easier to use for uploading lists and sending emails but exact target is better for reporting.
Chose ReachMail
Exact Target is preferable for batch jobs, including custom reporting, as well as list organization and folder trees, but I enjoy the ReachMail experience better overall. ReachMail generally has a faster interface; it's easier to implement personalization, and ReachMail can use …
Chose ReachMail
I didn't select Reachmail, it was already in place when I was hired. However, in all honesty, I think Reachmail is comparable to MailChimp.
Chose ReachMail
A lot of the content syndication vendors can produce the same leads and tactics, so not much to say on how they are different. I do keep going back to ReachMail though because I have built a relationship with my CSM, so that helps establish trust and partnership.

User Testimonials
AutokloseReachMail
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend Autoklose to smaller teams that do not have the tools and processes in place for conducting sales outreach or business development activities. I would also recommend it to Sales development reps who are relying on manually managing their sales outreach without the benefits of automation. I'd also recommend it if they are trying to do the above while using a CRM like Pipedrive, as Autoklose works well with some CRMs.

I think it is well suited for running a series of campaigns that have variations in subject lines and content. The interface is easy to utilize when making copies and variations of previously built email blasts, as well as organizing them into proper folders and determining metrics of each campaign. The reporting tool delivers very useful metrics, but the lack of options for pulling reports hurts the overall experience. It would be great if ReachMail were to give the user more options in determining reporting, such as a range of dates, a range of campaigns, all campaigns sent that contain "X and Y" assets, and so forth, all while giving the user the ability to download reports individually, or by group

Pros
  • It is helping in editing, managing, and send[ing] out large marketing campaigns.
  • It is easy to handle multiple emails in appropriate sequence.
  • Our company [has been] using this for a very long time. It is one of the perfect email solutions we found for our organization.
  • I have been very much impressed by their support staff.
Read full review
  • I have a $10 account, but customer support treat me like a princess. They even added a feature to one page to remedy a problem I was having with that page. They care about their customers.
  • ReachMail Features (or at least, these are the ones I know they have): WYSIWYG Email Editor, Template Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Dynamic Content, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Mailing List Management, Drip Campaigns, Auto-Responders, Image Library, A/B Testing, Customer Surveys, CAN SPAM Compliance, Reporting/Analytics.
  • These folks know what they’re doing. I can’t speak highly enough about ReachMail.

Cons
  • The system is not designed to send out hundreds of emails within the hour. Thus if you have timely information, and you have a large list, it will generally take many hours to execute.
  • Related to the above, timing of email delivery does jot exist nor can it be customized by timezone.
Read full review
  • I like the tutorials they have helped figure most of my issues out
  • The formatting text gave me lots of issues before I saw the tutorial it was a little complicated
  • Not to many bad things to say really, even customer service is fast, maybe it could be faster?

Usability
It is well set out from a user interface perspective and once you understand how it works you understand the power and the logic of how it is done. Like any software it helps to be a frequent user, but Autoklose lets you set up campaigns in the shortest possible time based on experience with other systems that I have used.

And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, and I'm able to give them great scores for their product and their service.

Constant Contact:
Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but Reachmail has larger contact base, bigger graphic and doc storage capacity than did the paid Constant Contact account.
MailChimp:
MailChimp's drag and drop template designer is easier to use than Reachmail's formatting tools. Reachmail was not selected by this client in lieu of MailChimp.

Scalability
It's expensive to have a single seat for each salesperson, so the alias feature will be the perfect addition to this product.
