Considered Both Products
Claritysoft
Chose Claritysoft
In my opinion, Claritysoft is like a second grader, and Salesforce is like a college graduate when it comes to what you can do and learn from the software. Salesforce integrates easily with other products we use, such as ZoomInfo, but Claritysoft is extremely limited in what it …
Chose Claritysoft
I think for the money, Claritysoft is a good competitor with these other CRM packages. I have personally implemented 3-4 CRM packages over my career and this is by far the easiest. I would like some more of the advanced features you find in the bigger name CRM package but for …
Chose Claritysoft
Claritysoft's emails are much easier to use since Salesforce is in the middle of switching from Classic to Lightning. Also, Salesforce does not have a native group edit option. Claritysoft is much more data driven and you can use all functions of Excel to customize reports. …
Chose Claritysoft
In terms of portfolio management, Claritysoft has been hands down a better overall product. Most importantly, it has been the most customer friendly application. The tool was selected, not by me, however many other competitors were evaluated. The aspects needed most by our …
LocaliQ
Chose LocaliQ
LocaliQ is more economical that marketing agencies we've used in the past. Our dollar goes farther. We've also used services from phonebook providers that were getting into the online advertising field. At the time, it was just being introduced so the reps knowledge on the …
Chose LocaliQ
Those platforms are self-served, and I have no time to dedicated to just get to the bottom of each one of them.
Chose LocaliQ
I have always used Local IQ and have been so satisfied I have never shopped around for another product.
Chose LocaliQ
LocaliQ was chosen for its comprehensive marketing capabilities, combining localized targeting, digital and print ads, and automated optimizations. While other platforms excel in specialized areas, LocaliQ provided a well-rounded solution tailored to our company goals of …
Chose LocaliQ
We chose LocaliQ above a few other sites because they appeared to be the most professional and have the most knowledgable team. They worked with other businesses in our industry and we felt comfortable experimenting with their services. They provided a professional presentation …
Chose LocaliQ
I have investigated national services like American Eagle and also small market locally owned business like Red Shoes.
Each year, I look into at least one other service provider to evaluate our service value. So far, no other company has come close to providing an all around …
Chose LocaliQ
Many of my clients have dabbled in Google Adwords then realize they don't want to handle this themselves.
Chose LocaliQ
We had not used other products prior to our use of LocaliQ products.
Chose LocaliQ
I did not investigate other platforms. My org has had a relationship with LocaliQ prior to my arrival, so I continued that partnership. I guess it's worth adding, we comparison shopped with two other local agencies but the pricing was much better with LocaliQ.
Chose LocaliQ
I prefer the personal relationships that have developed over the years working with LocaliQ. I like that I have a contact person that I can communicate with directly as opposed to a chat or support ticket.
Chose LocaliQ
It was a disaster of a launch, and we quickly ended it. I hope it has got better, and we will, at some point, start a new chatbot with one of our existing relationships.
Chose LocaliQ
Wix was very do it yourself. LocaliQ is done for you.
Chose LocaliQ
When we review different companies to use for the next year, LocaliQ always stands out against the rest due to the amount we get for the amount of money we spend.
Chose LocaliQ
I have not used other products as the last marketing company did not review our information with us.
Chose LocaliQ
Tried a couple of other marketing companies, none of which can compare to LocaliQ in terms of capabilities and results.
Chose LocaliQ
  1. ReachLocal is relatively cost-effective when compared with HubSpot
  2. It has all the must-have services for your website and campaign management
Chose LocaliQ
I haven't used any competitors listed, but I am familiar with GTMA and have worked with them. Their advertising strategies have been more robust, and I prefer their Google ads and Facebook ads methods over ReachLocals. I like ReachLocals basic report functionality over GTMA's. …
Chose LocaliQ
I have only used website developers in the past and haven't used any marketing companies.
Chose LocaliQ
We used Demandforce prior to moving to ThriveHive. I believe that ThriveHive is just a better overall value in terms of pricing, services and of course the personal guidance you get by having a dedicated coach.
Chose LocaliQ
ThriveHive offered the most features at the best price when I set up my site. The ongoing support is great as well.
Chose LocaliQ
While WordPress provides you with the opportunity to build a custom website, it stops there. ThriveHive has a strong small business marketing suite of products that are integrated into a WordPress-based website while also making it easy for the user to make quick and easy edits …
Chose LocaliQ
There are other vendors trying to sell their products. We have maintained business with ReachLocal due to their great customer service.

For a small company, just getting started with a CRM package, Claritysoft is great. Better to have something rather than nothing at all to keep up with these things we use and need in Sales.

LocaliQ is phenomenal at s multichannel marketing approach. It is incredibly effective and efficient to run all of these simultaneous campaigns through one company. As a small nonprofit, we would not have been able to have the reach LocaliQ gave us if we had opted to use multiple companies. It would have been too much for our staff to handle.

  • ThriveHive is a smaller marketing team dedicated to helping small to medium sized businesses perfect their marketing messages. ThriveHive is particularity good at understanding how Google, and other search engines work, and have been instrumental in helping my company to grow and evolve.
  • With ThriveHive, you get a dedicated coach who is matched to your type of business. This experience with similar businesses gives your coach a better understanding of your business and the challenges your company faces.
  • My coach is very good at responding to my needs within 1 to 2 business days. Email contacts are fluent and as often as I need, to discuss ideas or questions. I can only speak of my relationship with my coach, and I am very pleased.
  • I feel that ThriveHive makes every effort to take excellent care of their clients, and makes you feel like you are their most important customer. I definitely believe that this is one of ThriveHives' greatest assets.

Cons
  • Analytics of email blast are there but could be improved upon.
  • Slight modifications to import tools.
  • Automatic email, text, etc. plug ins.
Read full review
  • The email content editor could use some additional bells and whistles, it cannot handle some more advanced functions, but for the basics it is more than adequate.
  • Options for website creation are a bit limited and the turnaround time can be a bit lengthy at times because of the volume they do.
  • Tracked phone lines can be a bit pricey, but not exorbitant.

Usability
It is VERY, VERY, simple and easy to use and learn. All I needed was a super brief 30 minute overview to understand how to use it, and their Customer Support is pretty good. I was raised on Salesforce, which is much more complicated, but allows you to do so much more.
Read full review
Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

Support Rating
They are very helpful and quick whenever I have a question about Claritysoft CRM. I think the guy I've spoken with is named Evan, and he's been very helpful. Claritysoft, give the man a raise if you know who I'm talking about. He responds super quick with truly helpful insights.

In my opinion, Claritysoft is like a second grader, and Salesforce is like a college graduate when it comes to what you can do and learn from the software. Salesforce integrates easily with other products we use, such as ZoomInfo, but Claritysoft is extremely limited in what it can integrate with. Salesforce costs more money though, so it really depends how you utilize the CRM to know what you need. Just a big address book to log calls and emails? I think Claritysoft is fine. Want to track actual sales and forecast? I think Salesforce 100%.

Return on Investment
  • It has made it easier to see our overall sales for each sales rep.
  • The only negative is that we cannot change over the account, contacts, leads, and opportunities with one ownership field. You have to do each one separate and when you are transferring 1000 clients this takes much too long to do. No reason for it.
Read full review
  • Local print advertising enhanced our community presence and strengthened brand loyalty.
  • The automation of PPC and display campaigns has saved our marketing team at least 15-20 hours per week of work monitoring campaigns.
  • Service fees feel steep for the campaigns we run, especially for a business with constrained budgets.
