iContact provides us with an intuitive platform that saves us time. We can create and manage emails efficiently, spending time savings on other needs. The recent upgrade matches intuitive work flow very well.
Pros
The recent upgrade to the platform matches natural workflow (and spots for quality checks to prevent mistakes). We've saved time creating and managing our emails. We have a dedicated advisor that responds quickly when we have needs or questions. It's much nicer than an anonymous "call center" where you get who you get. I especially like the new upgrades to the platform, which reflect the way I/we work in an increasingly intuitive way.
Cons
I would like to see more seamless integrations with other software and extensions, such as a text-to-join feature.
Response from iContact
Thanks for the review, Charlie! When we were designing the new interface one of our goals was to make it intuitive, so your feedback is wonderful to hear. With a lot on your plate, we know that saving time is critical to your day-to-day tasks. We¿ll pass your kind feedback to your Strategic Advisor. Our services and support teams love hearing that the work they do makes such a positive impact on your work. We are always looking to enhance our integration offerings, so if you have specific software or extensions in mind please let your advisor know! Thank you again!

We've had to contact support a couple of times and they have been helpful. The level we purchased isn't a comprehensive marketing solution. But we came back to it after having trouble with ClickDimensions, it actually works better.
Pros
When I want to send out an email, I go into my list of prior emails, make changes, and send. It's very easy. It has all of the functionality we need for sending out bulk emails.
Cons
The editor is a bit clunky. It does take a bit of time to create a new email format. Sometimes it doesn't behave like it is supposed to. But once you save that new format you can use it over and over.

It was my first email marketing software, so I learned about it. Now that I have my own marketing company, I know not to use it.
Pros
Our emails were professional-looking. I liked being able to do the email marketing for more than one company, and everything was kept separately.
Cons
Their customer service was nonexistent. It was faster for me to either ignore the issue or find my own solution before they would respond, sometimes days later. The number of templates are few. You can only schedule to a couple of social media platforms, you have to schedule them separately, and they still adhere to the old Twitter character limit. We paid more to get more, and our "dedicated account rep" would only speak to us once a month for exactly 30 minutes. Not worth the money. We switched companies and paid less, and their customer service department contacts me once a week, just to check in. Our deliverability is higher, too. Customers that had a "bad mailbox" according to iContact are calling us, delighted to get our emails again.

My overall experience with this product has been positive. The customer support is good, and the product is fairly easy to use. While it lacks some of the features of Pardot, it adequately meets our needs as a mid-size company.
Pros
IContact is a program that I use to create email templates. It is easy to create and modify templates using this program. It also integrates relatively well with Salesforce and is a much less expensive option than Pardot. The platform is easy to use and metrics are clearly displayed. The ease of use (meaning creating templates is much faster and more streamlined) is what I like most.
Cons
Templates are created with lots of extra lines and blank spaces, meaning I often have to remove those before I'm able to use iContact with Salesforce to send to effectively send an email to a list.
Response from iContact
Thank you for your honest review. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to our product team.

Overall, I love iContact for small businesses. I would look elsewhere for bigger businesses with more than 10+ on staff. It could be more user friendly, but it gets the job done and works for our law firm.
Pros
It's extremely easy to deploy automated marketing campaigns, newsletters, quick information to your target audience using this platform. I enjoyed the ease of use in terms of sending out an email. It's nice for small business owners who don't have the time, energy, or resources to allocate to figuring out an email marketing platform.
Cons
I love this platform, but it's extremely out-of-date compared to other email platforms. For example, it's impossible to edit a template. For it being 2022, I would assume this would be easier from a user-friendly perspective.
