Chose Mautic
Salesforce and Dynamics may be fine if you can afford them, but don't offer much more than what you get from Mautic, for free and with total control and longer term active development.

SugarCRM ended development and maintenance of their Community Edition around 2018. The …
Chose Mautic
Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement …
Chose Mautic
We had originally tested Mailchimp and Sendy, but they are best used as bulk email marketing tools. Where Mautic really shines is as a full-service contact resource center, so you can do full contact list management, as-complicated-as-you want drip campaigns, all still while …
Chose Mautic
I have used Acton Marketing Automation and Mautic is very comparable to it. Acton is very pricey for a small business and Mautic offers many of the same features. Acton does, however, have support that will setup your system for you. Mautic does not have that if you are setting …
Chose Mautic
Well, it's like the same tool, but with different features. Overall, it is a friendly tool, easy to use, reliable, and it protects private information. We love it as I said before, we recommend it. It's a great asset. Mautic has all you need for your marketing needs.
Chose Mautic
Mautic is the new kid on the block, bred from an open source product, we chose to purchase the hosted/supported version. I felt like it stacked up very well against Act-On and even Pardot. I like their data API push and pull with Salesforce - very quick, and the queue was …
Chose Mautic
Mautic's competitive advantage is cost. Other solutions can be prohibitively expensive, and some other marketing automation solutions I had used required costly up-front investment for onboarding. I chose Mautic because I had grown weary of the aggressive sales tactics and …
Sender
Chose Sender
I selected Sender for the ease of user, it's cold email friendliness and because you could start for free. Some of those other software like for example Drip have much nicer and easier UI/UX to nagivate through but I would say that Sender is better than it if you are looking to …
Chose Sender
Its deliverability makes it more effective than other email marketing tools. It gives more than satisfactory results. And that shows in my organization's sales revenue.

User Testimonials
Mautic (open source)Sender
Likelihood to Recommend
Mautic is well suited for users who do not require a lot of maintenance on the technical areas and have only the general requirements of the email marketing sector. In case the users have more precise requirements and are more focussed on the quality and a proper quantitative analysis, Mautic would not be an ideal choice. In other words for small companies Mautic would be an idea choice where the budget is a constraint and the extent of use is low but in cases where budget is not really a constraint against the performance and quality, Mautic would not be an ideal choice.

If you want your emails delivered to people's inboxes instead of spam, this ain't it. Not sure if it's their fault at all or if it's just that spammers are more likely to use lower-cost products and thus ruin it for others?

Pros
  • Mautic is very good at the tagging system.
  • Mautic is very good at tracking website visitors. Visitors are first marked as unknown, however, once you get a signup Mautic automatically updates their profile.

  • I am highly impressed with its Automation feature. It is very useful to get more responses out of my whole campaign.
  • Its data import feature to create subscriber lists is also very advanced. It removes duplicates in my data.
  • Email deliverability is very accurate.

Cons
  • Reporting can be very misleading sometimes, but you just need to get the hang of it
  • When emailing, you need to know the exact time zone the server is set on, because it may not send the task when you think it would.
  • We think it may have more room to add more templates, the one the platform has turned boring over time— I think it would be an interesting update.

  • Deliverability/open rates are extremely low compared to other providers. IE: I was getting 50-60% open rates with most providers and 6.5% with Sender.
