Mailshake
Chose Mailshake
You can use Mailchimp or SendGrid for similar use, with Mailchimp the email automation is limited, and SendGrid holds up quite well. However, Mailshake is strictly designed and well equipped for email outreach and unusually cold emails, and its usability is second to none.
Chose Mailshake
For more advanced email campaigns, I use ActiveCampaign and the email sending provider because it gives more control and options related to the drip rules. Besides that, for simple campaigns that need to be followed up in a great, quick, and simple way, Mailshake is perfect …
Chose Mailshake
These tools are undoubtedly reputable products that are used by millions of users. However, for the goal of lead generation by cold emailing, Mailshake shines by its genius approach of highest possible personalization of the messages. We see incredible results with every …
Chose Mailshake
While MailChimp is an established email marketing platform, it is more suitable for jobs like sending out email newsletters or welcome messages.
Mailshake is a niche product that shines in cold email and drip campaigns that are highly personalized for each recipient. However, it …
Chose Mailshake
We looked at several email marketing solutions to find a solution for our email outreach campaign but decided to go with Mailshake because of it's deep focus on email outreach, ease of use and pricing. Mailshake also integrates well with other software via Zapier so we did not …

Chose Salesforce Inbox
While I have not used many other automated email CRM integration systems, SalesforceIQ is hands down a crucial part of my daily work flow. I could not picture our company putting up the monthly numbers we are able to allocate without the efficiency and concise notification …
Chose Salesforce Inbox
SalesforceIQ Inbox and Hubspot are both useful in small business organizations. Since they almost have the same features it's hard to tell why SalesforceIQ Inbox is better than other tools. I think the G Suite integration with filters feature is an advantage. The fact is when …

Mailshake is great for cold prospecting and drip email campaigns. I do not think Mailshake is well-suited for hyper-personalized one-to-one emailing.

When sending emails Salesforce Inbox provides valuable insights before sending. We usually send emails to clients and before Salesforce Inbox we would need to check in Salesforce to get details regarding the contact we are sending to. With the Salesforce Inbox there is no need to look in Salesforce as it is connected directly to Gmail or Outlook.

Cons
  • Mailshake works only with Gmail/G Suite accounts.
  • The only option for customizing emails is in the CSV file. It would be great if there were a feature in the tool for this.
  • Missing starts about the total number of opens of an email (it is only tracked once).

  • We have to manually approve the logging of activity. The "auto-log" feature wasn't showing up on reports
  • Should be easier to create leads and contacts from emails. You don't have to leave the window--which is nice--but you still have to copy paste
  • I would like Salesforce Tasks to be more visible. I'm always forgetting about tasks I have.

Usability
I found it pretty good - we were able to put email templates and campaigns together almost immediately. The reason I gave it an 8 is because if you want to edit those templates, the saving and making sure they were part of the campaigns was a little tricky and not intuitive.

Support Rating
Quick support. They offer very extensive and detailed tutorials on how to use the tool, as well as how to succeed in sending emails the right way. It probably reduces the number of support tickets and general support needs. The videos make it very easy to use their solutions. Great way to educate new clients.

While I have not used many other automated email CRM integration systems, SalesforceIQ is hands down a crucial part of my daily work flow. I could not picture our company putting up the monthly numbers we are able to allocate without the efficiency and concise notification settings SalesforceIQ gives Everlasting Capital. I highly recommend if you're looking for fast integration results to update numerous departments within your company, to look into SalesforceIQ as it will make your daily tasks substantially easier while keeping all parties more thoroughly notified.

Return on Investment
  • I'd say it was a net negative for us because the initiative did not lead to sales for us. It was probably HOW we were using it, and not the fault of the product itself. If you have luck with cold emails, and just need a new platform, Mailshake could be a great, and inexpensive option. Our loss was mostly employee time, and learning what doesn't work for us is a positive in the end.
