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.
Robly
Chose Robly
Robly is better suited for a general constituency, versus a more targeted donor system like Blackbaud. It allows us to send weekly, and other general newsletter contact and updates to individuals who might not qualify as donor prospects. Alternatively, it keeps our donor …
Chose Robly
Constant Contact is better known but much more expensive for essentially the same thing. When choosing a tool, you need to consider whether the integrations are important. If they are, Robly might not be the best tool. It is more "stand-alone" than other tools. As far as pure …
Chose Robly
In comparison to Robly, Mailchimp can also be considered very user friendly for both marketing professionals and amateurs. It offers many of the same features including creative designs and analytics. We prefer to use Robly for our newsletter and bulk marketing messages because …
Chose Robly
Robly is better than most other platforms because you get better results and you also have more analytics to look at which helps you make better decisions.
Chose Robly
When trying to find an email platform to use with our company, we tried out three major softwares: Robly, Mailchimp, and Constant Contact. The price of Robly is what initially made it stand out to us, but upon using it, we also fell in love with the simplicity of the editing …
Chose Robly
Our clients that use Robly have a tremendous amount of lead turnover. They need information quickly and need to be able to respond and adjust quickly to recipient behaviors. They are working primarily with millennial contacts that digest information at a glance and primarily …
Chose Robly
I have not compared Robly with any other software, I always chose it over any other software, therefore I have no opinion about it.
Chose Robly
Tracking and follow up is better. I switched because I really like the follow up feature to those who had not opened first email.
Chose Robly
Robly is less expensive and more user friendly than Constant Contact. We selected Robly because of the reduced price and features. Constant Contact fit well with our needs, but when another organization recommended Robly to us and we tried it, we decided to stick with it. We …
Chose Robly
Robly has been much more cost effective, which is very important for us, since we are a small business. It is easier to use than Constant Contact, though we now have a significant dip in our subscribers since we've made the switch. Constant Contact didn't even compare in visual …
Chose Robly
Blows them out of the water. Better design, ease of use, formatting, layouts. Reports are more detailed. Worth the additional cost from CC. Client datebase mgmt is much easier and better tracking.
Chose Robly
Constant Contact is much more restrictive in your ability to create a truly branded campaign. Robly has much more of a custom template set up and the tools you need to make a campaign yours and distinctive from a typical template. Constant Contact did have the ability for a …
Chose Robly
More functionality than Constant Contact.
Chose Robly
We like Robly. We love the logo too. Send us freebies. We would like to have more use of CRM on Robly. We would like to use Robly as a CRM and integrate it with our email lists on Facebook and Zoho (which we use). We need to get people more inclined to interact back with us in …
Chose Robly
We chose Robly initially because they boasted the ability to receive 50% more opens through most email marketing campaigns. We've been happy with their service and software and plan to continue use [it].
Chose Robly
We switched to robly after they advertised 50% more opens. Among the various features of their software, we have created much better looking email messages, as well as increased options for sending and reviewing the response to the message. Robly also offered better pricing …
Chose Robly
We chose Robly for the lower cost and OpenGen - it has served us better than Constant Contact which was more than triple the price.
Chose Robly
We outgrew the simple and minimalist service TinyLetter affords.
Chose Robly
Robly has much of the same functionality as Constant Contact. I find Robly's interface to be more intuitive. Robly allows us to upload as many images and documents as we want, without charging us extra. Robly's subscription price is lower than Constant Contact. Their …
Chose Robly
I had used Constant Contact for years, needed a change, like their drip deployment, and follow up deployment [times] number of days after the initial deployment.

User Testimonials

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.

Robly can become easily exploitable for advertising agency services, which rely mostly on stable dynamics to make sure that marketing campaigns work and provide enough results to see profits. In other words, if Robly is managed from a purely professional methodology, better results can be obtained. Robly can also be used to manage small sales where you can better organize information about a specific customer, such as their contact details and history of interactions through different sales operations by the company, so it is not only possible to focus its use on mass marketing, but also intimate businesses that require some degree of administrative control in relation to new message alert notifications. If used in conjunction with services oriented to the execution of seminar sessions or online classes, it is possible to send mailings to groups, where the content information of each session allows viewing different documents and material of various formats from the e-mail, and thus make the sessions to be held seem more attractive to the public. This strategy is very feasible if you are going to sell a product explaining its use and characteristics.

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
  • The emails do not allow us to add certain tools that would improve our management in the case of data collection, such as the application of interactive surveys within these emails.
  • It does not integrate with services such as Survey Gizmo, which would be useful for structuring surveys.
  • It also does not integrate with sufficient cloud backup platforms, which forces us to export our customer list data manually, and this can lead to errors.

Because we like the price and value. The annual subscription model allows us to maximize usage without worrying too much about cost, being a small mom and pop outfit.

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.

Overall Robly's usability can be considered easy and intuitive. For experienced marketing professionals this program would not be challenging to navigate even on the first uses. There may be a slight learning curve for amateur users but overall it is fairly simple and easy to use and creates professional results.

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, and I'm able to give them great scores for their product and their service. Salesloft was less robust, and Mailshake wasn't sophisticated enough for my needs.

When trying to find an email platform to use with our company, we tried out three major softwares: Robly, Mailchimp, and Constant Contact. The price of Robly is what initially made it stand out to us, but upon using it, we also fell in love with the simplicity of the editing options and the easy navigation and organization of our many lists of contacts. It was a clear choice of which software to go with in the end - Robly ran by a landslide!

Return on Investment
  • This product saves my business development manger at least 2 hours per day.
  • The weekly digest reports give us a nice look at how the campaign is performing.
  • Having the analytics for the whole campaign in an easy-to-read format gives a quick snapshot of the campaign activity.

  • Robly has enabled us to become more efficient in communicating with our audience. Because of the small size of our organization, we have a limited number of hours to dedicate to crafting communication with our audience. The ease of use of Robly means that we can spend less time on the mechanics of creating mass emails and more time on the quality of the communication itself.
  • Since we started using Robly, our Opt-outs, Spam and Bounce rates (which were already quite low) have dwindled to practically nothing. Over our last 10 campaigns, we had 6 emails bounce, 1 marked as spam, and 18 opt-outs out of over 30K emails delivered.
