“System Robustness and Integration Challenges Affect Workflow and Reporting Efficiency”

3.0

Jun 18, 2025

The robustness of the system in reality does not match the robustness portrayed in the evaluation and selection phase. Pieces that should integrate easily (like Oktopost) do not. As issues with AI and the impact they've had on metrics like open rates pop up, acknowledgement and resolution of issues is slow. Doesn't seem like equipped from product development standpoint to keep pace.

Act-On Marketing Automation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Email composer has been recently upgraded to a drag-and-drop format.

Our initial trainer has been a good resource since implementation, trying to come up with solutions as we hit issues.

The most useful feature was a user expierence - it was a very simple, clear, easy to use and to follow.

Form builder is a bit outdated and clunky.

The ability to bring everything into one dashboard for high-level reporting for my Director of Integrated Marketing to provide me and for me to provide to the C-Suite and Advisory Board (different types of reporting) is cumbersome and requires too much manual work to get the right information at the right time quickly.

In my opinion, there were a lot of features and not always they were applicable in my daily work.
