“Advanced Automation and CRM Features Simplify Campaign Management on One Platform”

Oct 27, 2025
I used ActiveCampaign for my email campaign outreach a 5 months ago and it was an excellent experience. The platform is user friendly, efficient and makes campaign management simple. It's a great tool with advanced automation workflows & triggers, and tracking marketing efforts effectively. ActiveCampaign provides easy integrations with other systems like CRM and Apollo.io kind of tools and also it has its own in-built CRM so it helps a lot for us to track and manage the sales pipeline efficiently and also it improves overall sales & marketing coordination. Segmentation feature is really worthwhile because it allows you to target the right audience with personalized emails.

Performance of ActiveCampaign Platform Across Market Features

ActiveCampaign Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like how seamlessly ActiveCampaign combines email automation with its in-built CRM. Segmentation and automated workflows make it easy to send personalized emails, track leads, SMS, landing pages, forms and manage the entire customer journey in one place. I also like the ready-made templates, it makes campaign creation faster and smoother with branding.

Like

Easy to use, global suppression capabilities, easy automations.

Like

The ease of integrating the platform into our systems. ActiveCampaign is very flexible with their API.

Dislike

Cost is high and the pricing can get a bit high when our contact list grows

Dislike

Can't use our own fonts in the emails. Awful customer service. Worst experience of my career. We wanted to make a change in our plan before the billing. They said okay, kept us waiting until the billing period and then DID NOT perform the changes we wanted and charged what they wanted to charge. They said they would provide 5000 additional contacts for the trouble they caused. THEN they sent a payment link for the additional contacts.

Dislike

I am not fully satisfied with the reporting and custom reporting capabilities. The platform lacks depth in insight, and the training resources for this area could be improved. I also believe that there should be a tool or integration that allows for bulk merging of contacts and accounts. At the moment, the merging process is very manual, and there is no existing tool or integration that effectively supports this functionality.
