Considered Both Products
Leadfwd
Chose Leadfwd
We found Inbox25 to be the most cost-effective marketing automation platform with the best possible integration to Sugar CRM. We evaluated three additional products. Only one was comparable in scope and integration but the cost was 30% more.
Chose Leadfwd
Different platforms stack up particularly well for different use cases. INBOX25 is our default choice for SugarCRM users.
Sprinklr Marketing
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are also using Modern Engagement and both products combined together give us a perfect overview of paid&organic media performance.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
This tool was much easier to implement and understand for my team.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is a more effective solution in terms of campaign operations for larger networks who operate at scale.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are using different platforms for different clients. It depends on how the client's budget and what they can invest in their reporting tool. Sprinklr is the most complex, biggest, and most customizable. We say if Brandwatch is LEGO Duplo, then Socialbakers is LEGO Classic …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We selected the Advertising product because we were using the other products listed. I personally haven't used the Modern Care product but the customer service team loves it. I like using the Research and Engagement tools more as they feel less time-intensive to set up and use.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
There are none, otherwise we would have switched.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I definitely prefer the native platform ad managers over Spredfast. They are much easier to use and saves me time and frustration. I usually just give up with Spredfast after I get so many errors that I can't figure out. I never have to worry that my ad is not running when I …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We use each of our tools for distinct projects and Sprinklr is the main social tool that we use, primarily because of the 'social listening' component which allows us to see where the conversation is among our competitors. This is critical in developing our positioning on …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I used Social Bakers in the past, but at this moment we use Sprinklr, and I like the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Not part of decision making. Sprinklr was already implemented when I became involved with the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I've only used the free version of Hootsuite and Sprinklr had many more functions than that (though Sprinklr was paid so not really and apples to apples comparison). HubSpot was more of a web content tool with social plugins which were fine but nothing special. Sprinklr was …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is above and beyond all other platforms currently on the market. No other platform meets the capabilities.

User Testimonials
LeadfwdSprinklr Marketing
Likelihood to Recommend
It's a great choice for users of SugarCRM, which doesn't integrate particularly well with many other marketing automation platforms. It's less appropriate for users of other CRMs (particularly Salesforce) which has well-baked connectors for HubSpot, Pardot, et al.

Sprinklr Modern Marketing is a great tool to gauge the competitive landscape on certain topics that your company may want to be known for. It is also great at indicating the share of voice % based on the amount of mentions in the social landscape. Linkedin API has many limitations though which is our most important social platform

  • Responsive, helpful support team
Read full review
  • Allows you to share and suggest pieces of content to other entities within the organization.
  • Has great reporting with lots of filters to drill down to the information you need.
  • It's easy to schedule posts and see them within the planner so you know you have your week or month covered. It's also easy to move things around if you need to reschedule something to a later date.

Cons
  • Inbox25 is in a growth phase and has transformed their product pretty fast. With that comes an increased need to continually learn how to leverage new features.
  • Tutorials and product documentation exist but it is relatively minimal. They overcome this with personalized, one-on-one training that is recorded for future review using a project management platform.
  • Inbox25 has expanded beyond Sugar CRM to include Salesforce.com integration. I'm not sure if they plan to add integrations to other applications but they are positioned well for growth.

Very responsive team, always ready to jump on a call or provide any other ad-hoc support, both for the central team as well as for the markets. I appreciate the opportunity to organise onboarding calls with the markets when we identify any needs in terms of trainings/upskilling

Return on Investment
  • We have successfully moved cold suspects to leads and leads to opportunities, and opportunities to customers with Inbox25. We are just now starting to realize more value given that we've only recently started using the more advanced drip marketing and lead scoring features.
  • When we used the pay-as-you-go version we were paying just pennies per email and remained CAN-Spam Act compliant. It was harder to quantify the ROI then but it was apparent that email marketing was working and moving prospects from one sales stage to another. It was also very useful for re-engaging prospects and promoting products and services to customers.
  • Our total investment in the advanced edition is less $30,000 annually and we expect the ROI to be less than one year. It could have been sooner if we'd have been more thoughtful in our initial implementation.

  • Measurable and easy to see clicks and actions taken on ads lends to a positive or negative ROI depending on the call to action.
  • As far as the cost of the tool, it's good to manage and control many users so I'd say this is a positive ROI.
