You get dedicated support from Lead Liaison when onboarding and they are extremely helpful and patient. I don't know of too many organizations that have this type of dedicated support at the ready. However, on the downside, they seem to be enamored with rolling out updates constantly, and on many occasions, it doesn't seem to have any tangible benefit.

Pros
  • The CRM functionality is a great tool for adding in targeted paid advertising campaigns to complement email campaigns.
  • The ability to segment contacts and create custom lists allows us to send hyper-targeted email campaigns that deliver more efficient and effective results.

  • The form customization is perfect. Very easy to use.
  • The insight we get from the form's (GPS) data is nice as we do not have to mandate fields anymore.
  • The ability to pass thru a lot of data on the back end works for our process. The internal receiver (customer service or sales reps) of the form data knows exactly what campaign the lead came from, what clinical specialty is tied to the prospect and what product is of interest. All seamlessly.

Cons
  • The email and content builder is significantly worse than other email marketing platforms I've used
  • Emails campaigns cannot be used in more than one automation flow
  • Amount of emails collected and being sent for smart insight are inaccurate
  • I've rarely completed a task without some type of user interface error
  • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
  • You have to pay extra for training
  • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
  • Lengthy contract with a high price tag

  • Sadly the data is bad. Real bad. We had 2600% ROI from a competitor product that only identified visitors by IP address. Where as LeadLiaison (offering this feature plus many others) did not fully give a return on investment in 12 months.
  • The platform is confusing and not cohesive.
  • The platform tries to do many things. They keep rolling out features but do not perfect them.
  • The landing pages features is dreadful and needs to be much stronger for this type of product.
  • The normally friendly face of the company turns against when you wish to cancel and stop using them.
  • The platform is very closed off to integrations in comparisons with other solutions we've evaluated before and since.
  • There is no community support, so all support has to come directly from Lead Liaison. This slows down solving problems even though their support is good. We suffered particularly due to being in a different time zone (we are in the UK).

Lead Liaison has tremendous support. I''ve never gone more than a hour or so without a response. They are quick to understand my request, review the options for solution and deliver the best option with the best outcome. Also, the good part is that I don't need support all the time because the product is so easy.

We were poached from a competitor where we were getting 2600% ROI. This was a bad business decision on our part. Lead Liaison promised the same level of visitor identification with many more extra features but it never stacked up. After 12 months we actually did not see a return on investment greater than the original investment. Conversely the competitor has seen a 1700% ROI just in month 1 upon returning to them. So having using Lead Forensics before and after using Lead Liaison it's clear what the variable is.
