Considered Both Products
GetResponse
Chose GetResponse
We selected GetResponse basis a feature-to-feature comparison and also an overall recommendation from a leading digital marketer
Chose GetResponse
Our company stands out for having very initial contact with our customers, and this is thanks to the templates that GetResponse has.
Chose GetResponse
Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse was the perfect tool for the size of our company. We checked out other tools and GetResponse had the best integration and capabilities in comparison to other competitors.
Chose GetResponse
ActiveCampaign seems to check more of the boxes for our marketing agency needs. The ease of on-boarding multiple clients is wonderful.
Chose GetResponse
Everything else at least sends the emails to my lists.
Chose GetResponse
Better pricing and similar high delivery rates. Much active support and great number of customization available.
Chose GetResponse
Mailchimp is the best alternative to GetResponse but GetResponse's innovative design makes them better compared to. What I like more on GetResponse is it helps us to work from any device from anywhere and carry out a campaign from one device to another device. Mailchimp offers …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse is much stronger in lead management and versatility than an ESP like MailChimp or SFMC. It isn't as versatile as HubSpot or Marketo and leaves a lot lacking in landing pages and scalability.
Chose GetResponse
  1. CRM functionality.
  2. Much cheaper
  3. Landing page is much better
Chose GetResponse
My team has switched to GetResponse from MailChimp as it:
- has more features that can be used
- the ability to create flows and automations is a valuable feature
Chose GetResponse
Mailchimp is more basic but is free. Infusionsoft is more expensive but more complex - I have seen it dubbed "confusionsoft", but I have not tried it to confirm as it is out of our price range. GetResponse seems to have been a happy medium for us as it provides the services we …
Chose GetResponse
We are evaluating new vendors and leaning towards MailChimp.
Chose GetResponse
Not the top of the heap and certainly far from the bottom. GR is arguably one of the best solutions for Home based or small shops. It is out of the box whereas some of the others are not as complete or more difficult to unpack. It lacks some features but over-delivers on others.
Chose GetResponse
Automational was discontinued. Customer service was much better with GetResponse than with Agile. Agile's customer service was very bad - made me feel inadequate, They treated me like a new customer even though I had been doing email marketing for over ten years. They severely …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse shares a lot of the same capabilities as ActiveCampaign and Infusionsoft. It's much cheaper than Infusionsoft and has a much easier interface than ActiveCampaign. It also offers a significant upgrade in feature set to MailChimp and Constant Contact who really …
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse has a lot of the same functionality as InfusionSoft - but is more user-friendly and less expensive.
Chose GetResponse
GetResponse worked great for the company's direct email needs with list segmenting, A/B testing, and reporting. I personally did not get to select the email tools used for the company, but it was effective and educational to newcomers with the tool.
Chose GetResponse
I would say GetResponse is the perfect product for somebody who is new and looking for quality. Most alternatives are specialized for different types of mailing. So if one ESP doesn't work, another one will. SendInBlue for example is better suited for higher volume mailing but …
Chose GetResponse
Mail Chimp and Icontact. GetResponse is easy to use and less complicated than the other platforms. I prefer Get Response to any other platform I have used because it gives me all the tools to get my clients and customers to pay attention. Other Platforms don't compare to …
Chose GetResponse
Prior to this we used iContact which was horrible and emails were not getting delivered and going into Spam. It was recommended by a co-worker who mentioned we used it before so we decided to adopt it again.
Ortto
Chose Ortto
Autopilot is designed to make the business money more than it costs and we actually get an impressive range of marketing automation features in return for our money. It is a serious platform that is capable of building heavyweight automations. There is a complete set of …
Chose Ortto
How would I say this, for me Autopilot is a whole other tool then the other MA tools I use. Most other MA tools focus on a lot of options and things you can do with it. But Autopilot seems to mainly focus on the visual builder to make automations, and they do that really well!

Th…
Chose Ortto
Autopilot is the worst of the marketing automation tools. It's got a great visual editor, but it isn't auditable and doesn't provide the basic functionality most other tools do for landing page editing etc. I'm unclear why all these positive reviews exist. Yes it's cheap, but …
Chose Ortto
Okta and Azure AD seem to work better for administering our email tenant and users for me comparatively. They just seem easier to use and I was already experienced with both.
Chose Ortto
Autopilot stacks up okay against the competition, but there are many platforms out there that are doing the same thing, either better and/or cheaper. I recently reviewed Klaviyo and Pardot and both seem to have more capabilities then Autopilot. Mailchimp is another competitor …
Chose Ortto
Autopilot is a modern and powerful solution that we recommend to everyone looking for a marketing automation tool. Competitors either are outdated, overpriced or lacking features. We've been happily using Autopilot for years now. The only thing we'd wish to see added is …
Chose Ortto
Autopilot is the only visual journey builder in comparison to a lot of text-based journey builders available in the market. The visual journey builder helps so much to break down complicated journeys.
Chose Ortto
We engaged with an independent marketing automation consultant who helped us vet marketing automation vendors. After meeting with several stakeholders across the company (marketing, sales, customer success, development, and exec), Autopilot beat out all other marketing …
Chose Ortto
While Autopilot cannot compete with the enterprise players (like Hubspot and Marketo), I think it seriously beats its competitors in terms of features for the price. If you have a small budget, you could exhaust it by purchasing all the software you need to build your funnel, …
Chose Ortto
We had used Drip and in a smaller instance Campaign Monitor's automation. At the time, however, Drip itself was a little clunky because of a lack of broader integration, while Campaign Monitor was good for very simple workflows. At least the functionality of these former …
Chose Ortto
Autopilot is great if you want a more visual and user-friendly campaign creator. Building journeys takes a minute to learn but a few weeks to master as there are a lot of extra functionalities that are possible. The AP support team is excellent and always answered all of our …

Likelihood to Recommend
GetResponse is good for marketing automation newbies that want a powerful platform without a steep learning curve. It appears to have a strong set of tools for creating automated sequences, but it's not your solution for large enterprise usage. Also, seeing as how competitive the market's become, while it's not expensive per se, it is a bit on the pricey side relative to some.

It's a great tool for email marketing and making automation flows with those emails. Also push your communication to multiple platforms (social media, SMS, WhatsApp, etc). It's easy to learn so for us easy to teach companies the basics of marketing automation. The clean interface and not to many functions don't make the tool too overwhelming. So for us, one of the better "get your feet wet" tools.

Pros
  • If you understand coding the ability to use dynamic content based on smart searches was very useful.
  • The drop and drag workflows were very easy to create and use
  • Allowed for simple automation and nurture campaigns to occur off of events
Read full review
  • Very easy to use automation builder with many great options and integrations. Lets us tailor incredibly precise campaigns through use of Autopilot's own features, plus its tight integrations with data from sources like Segment.
  • Easy and powerful email editing and creation built-in. No need for email template coding.
  • Autopilot allows marketers to have full control and implement new web forms to capture leads quickly with its automatic form detection. No need to save custom form data to our own backend saves our development team time.

Cons
  • Lists are rejected on baseless grounds.
  • They recommend a service to clean lists and even after being cleaned, emails and lists are rejected.
  • They purged 80% of our email list because they were not interacting regularly enough with our emails.
  • Their drag and drop editor is set up poorly, if you have similar look and feel emails there is no way to know which you are in.
  • Often email templates do not save and you have to start over.
  • Sometimes scheduled emails don't even send.
Read full review
  • Limited Design Customization: If you're an experienced marketer and are used to the unlimited customization capabilities of larger platforms (or coding your own templates), you might find Autopilot's options to be limiting. It's great for a beginner user who shouldn't be encumbered with those options, but I could see if being frustrating for others.

As I mentioned before. I believe that the platform is easy to use. Simple and easy process from start to finish. Email efficient and get to the client quickly. Catch errors that would prevent getting to where i need it to go. Overall great experience and would renew without question

Excellent general support. However, in case of an escalation, their turnaround time over email (follow through) can go higher

Over the years we have worked with quite a few email platforms. We feel that GetResponse is a solid competitor. The CRM side is not as strong as a product like Keep but we don't expect it to be. If we are really being fair and comparing apples to apples, then GetResponse is as good as any of these other products. Especially in the area of the visual builder, I honestly think it is just about as good as Keep. And it is better than some of these other products. Again, keeping in mind the cost and the niche GetResponse fills, it stacks up very well against the other products we have used.

Return on Investment
  • Our marketing emails have been much more professional, scheduled, beautiful, and manageable since switching AWAY from GetResponse, so in that sense the platform did not provide the kind of ROI we'd prefer.
  • For delivering our regular daily newsletter, GetResponse has served us well and has delivered at an above-average rate to our mailing list.
Read full review
  • Not sure. I cannot put a $ on it for ROI as I was the administrator and not part of the team that procured it. Time-wise I would say I spent less time using it than I previously had used in CloudPortal Services Manager.
