About EngageBay

EngageBay is an all-in-one marketing software which combines lead generation, email marketing, marketing automation, CRM, and social media engagement. Designed to help businesses to acquire, engage, nurture, and close leads, EngageBay allows users to create email campaigns and automate marketing processes and sales funnels. The cloud-based platform can be used to aid with growing leads, creating and automating the distribution of email marketing content, and managing customer relationships using the in-built CRM.

The unified marketing suite within EngageBay provides businesses with the tools to design, manage, and run customized marketing campaigns. Email campaigns can be built using the range of pre-designed email templates, or made from scratch using the drag & drop interface. Custom images, text, layout, share buttons, and more, can be added to email marketing templates in order to create a branded message to engage new or existing customers. EngageBay facilitates customer segmentation, defined by conditional metrics such as age, location, type of customer, purchase history, and more, in order to target specific subsets of users. Marketing campaigns can be automated by defining workflows and funnels, as well as setting up triggers based on customer actions. Custom web forms can be created and added to business websites to capture leads, and landing pages can be built to optimize clicks and conversions.

EngageBay offers an in-built CRM to help users organize their business contacts, manage relationships, and track pipelines. With both marketing and sales teams working within EngageBay, leads and contacts can be guided seamlessly through the sales pipeline using just one synchronous platform. Contacts can be managed with tools for creating contact lists, searching within the contact database, storing interaction history, activity logging, and more. With EngageBay, users are able to gain visibility into the sales pipeline and track the status of every deal in real time.

    Pros

    EngageBay cover all of any business needs, from task managing to customer support platform. I mainly use it to collaborate on task and project. It comes with good communication hub that let us to have a quick and swift connection between us to discuss on the task and project.

    Cons

    As this software is packed full with features, it can be quite confusing to use it for the first time, and to choose the correct tool that i need to running the project objective that i has planned. The manual guide is not too detail and not very helpful for me.

    I have tried other platforms, also spending a lot of money on assestment (hubspot, sharpspring, active campaign, etc...).

    Some of them have too high prices, others don't seem to listen to the request for new features, still others the support is slow to respond.

    In all the cases I tried something was missing: for EngageBay nothing is missing and the costs are very affordable (it also includes a free version to let my customers try the product).

    Pros

    Quick and easy to use. All very easy.
    It has everything we need (integration, mail automation, sales automation, lead generation, Android and Ios apps, support ticket e chat for visitors, etc...).

    Cons

    It is not possible to program post social (at the moment you can only monitor your profiles, although technical support has assured me that it is in their roadmap).

    Maybe the pricing model needs to be improved by including web analytics per user in the basic version and offering a monthly block of "no branded" emails.

    A fantastic product that is a step above Hubspot in terms of price and sophistication!

    Reviewed on 9/3/2023

    Pros

    We use the system as a full CRM platform along with integrating the technology via our website. The website functionality allows us to have a fully managed client management tool for things like orders, service visits, and repeat consumable orders. A fantastic system and way above Hubspot! The customer service is great, and they are very quick to help answer questions.

    Cons

    Nothing. We have full API integration, and we are using the system as much as possible for our client base.

    I've setup a "Sequence" with 3 emails to be sent before holding my Webinar and thought everything was ok and went on.

    Just to come back on the day of the Webinar to see that nothing was sent and every contact was hard bounced. Yes every single one of them.
    Furthermore I couldn't send any email broadcasts to the contacts either. So mainly I was left with leads for my Webinar which I couldn't even use, were it up to Engagebay.

    The support team's solution? Purchase credits to "verify the contacts" to be able to use them.
    So besides making me lose my time, not delivering the emails and rendering all my contacts useless they want me to purchase something for it to actually work??

    Absolutely disgusting and shameful business practices!

    They then tell me that the problem is not on their end and insist that every contact has an invalid email address.

    With another similar service I sent the emails with ease. Out of all the contacts, only 4 bounced.
    Engagebay has set me back a lot with this.

    Avoid at all costs!

    Pros

    At first I liked what it offered for the free plan (things that other similar services didn't offer for free).

    Cons

    It doesn't work at all and the support team asks you to purchase credits for it to work.

    Response from EngageBay

    Hi there, sorry to know about your experience with EngageBay.

    Just to bring to your notice, a hard bounce happens only when the email address is invalid. It looks like that is the case here. If the email address is invalid, there is nothing we can do from our end to avoid a hard bounce.

    To prevent such cases, we recommend all our users to verify all the emails they have on the list. Please note that we do not provide email verifier service ourselves and hence recommend other 3rd party solutions.

    Seems like the other service you used has a built in validation service and hence the bounces were limited.

    I would recommend you to send an email to [email protected] including the registered email address for your account and we can check what may have caused the bounces, though we are certain that it was due to the emails being invalid, we could always cross check.

    Great so far

    Great so far

    Pros

    Tailored to our needs, often more robust than anticipated, and simply works. When it doesn't, support is quick to correct and help.

    Cons

    UI/UX needs improvement in terms of user feedback and overall usability. A save button should save, not redirect you to another page to start all over again. Some features should be marked BETA because they clearly are, while the core ones work well.

    Reasons for Choosing EngageBay

    Price and overall features and functionalities. EngageBay honestly does the same for a fraction of the cost. BUT, HubSpot's automation is still 'smarter'. That's the catch.
