ConvertKit vs AgilePoint NX

I give ConvertKit a five out of five rating. Before I started using ConvertKit, I was using MailChimp, and I switched over to ConvertKit. It was a much more powerful tool, which gave me a lot more options for customizing my lists and reaching out to clients in a much more personalized manner. I chose to use ConvertKit because of its ability to interface with many of the other software programs that I was running for my health coaching business. And I also really liked that I was able to make various lists within ConvertKit based on my client's needs, so I could send some emails to people who had a certain need and other emails to people who had a different need. Not all emails had to go to everybody. I really liked the powerful software that ConvertKit came with that just gave me the opportunity to really be there for my clients in the exact way they needed me. When I first signed up for ConvertKit, I was able to choose a package that met my financial needs and the needs of my coaching business. And their references and help items were super great in walking me through all the steps that I was going to need. They have videos and tons of tutorials to help you get set up exactly the way that you needed. I always felt like if there was something that I wasn't sure how to do, I knew exactly where to go to find what I needed so I could get things set up just the way that was going to work best for me. If you're thinking about getting started with ConvertKit, I would highly recommend it. When I started using it after switching from a less powerful email management system, I truly thought, "Where has this been all of my life and why haven't I been using it before now?" It really is the way to go. As far as getting everything set up the way that you want. I feel like many of the other health coaches that I talked to felt the exact same way that once you switch to this more powerful program and see how it can be integrated with all of the other systems that you're using, it's worth the money, and it's worth the time to learn a new program or to get started with a program that is going to help you build your business successfully.

We have been using ConvertKit for 3.5 years now and we don't plan on going anywhere else! If you're looking for an email marketing platform that grows with your business and subscriber list, and that's straightforward to use as well as efficient, then you don't need to look any further than ConvertKit. My team and I find that it allows us to meet our goals quickly, deliver quality content, and all without overcomplicating things. Sometimes simple is best!

Overall, it's an ok tool. A lot of the glitches have cost me money (i.e. sending coupons to my list and excluding purchasers... only to find out prior purchasers still received the email). I've had requests for "discounts" from people who have received these emails after purchasing a product at full price. They are not happy. When people get stuck in sequences they go "cold"... then I end up sending a reengagement sequence before removing from my list and these people get very mad too... they have been expecting to hear from me and think that I don't send to my list regularly. Overall I really feel like just a number to ConvertKit. They don't care about my business and charge a FORTUNE. I think this product has hurt my business, cost me money and soured my reputation. In my opinion if they are charging such a premium price it really should be top notch and this really falls short in a lot of ways. I really wish I thought long and hard before signing up with them as it's going to be a NIGHTMARE to switch. I feel really "stuck" with using them and it's such a nightmare to manage at this point.

"Best BPM Solution" What do you like best about AgilePoint NX? AgilePoint NX is extraordinarily intuitive to use with a low learning curve compared to the other BMP solutions I have used in the past while simultaneously enabling flexibility, allowing you the process to address both common and complex use case scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AgilePoint NX? Outside of your employer giving you access to AgilePoint NX or requesting a limited trial, it can be challenging for a single business power user or citizen developer to gain access to maintain, hone or expand their learning for an extended period. It would be great if AgilePoint provided a no-cost developer environment or a reasonably priced one for single developer users. Long term, I can only see an upside to this as such citizen developers would take this with them throughout their careers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AgilePoint NX: Do your due diligence, if you're considering AgilePoint NX as a replacement for your current BMP solution don’t just focus on a feature-by-feature comparison but instead scalability, ease of use, ability to meet the use cases, and ability to offer new features and functionality. I think you’ll discover that AgilePoint NX is uniquely positioned in the BPM space as not only its leader but its leader in innovation as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AgilePoint NX solving and how is that benefiting you? While an employee at Honeywell, I used AgilePoint NX as an enabler to automate many Direct and Indirect Procurement processes. Most use cases were centric on exceptions processes that were not accounted for within either our ERP systems or other IT-managed platforms, which necessitated the rapid development of tools that could fill these critical gaps. Some of these were: - Payment Term Exceptions: A process that enabled a hierarchical approval process with embedded business logic to realize deviations to payment term business objectives with 3rd party suppliers. - Waivers of Competitive Bids: A process that enabled exceptions to Honeywell's competitive bid policy. Likewise, this process supported a hierarchical approval process with embedded business logic and an SAP R/3 BAPI, allowing the process via web service API to only allow purchase requisition processing into a purchase order within the ERP after gaining proper business approvals within the process.

"Great solution helping Honeywell automate" What do you like best about AgilePoint NX? It has a lot of features and functions built in within the tool, and there is the ability to create really light weight applications to help business needs. The application build process is based on No Lo concept, so users don't really need to code anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AgilePoint NX? The interface could be a little more user friendly which a non IT user could use easily. The IT community finds it easy to work with the tool, but the business users don't find it too easy / user friendly to work with. Also, the availability of help / training material needs to be improved. Once again thinking about new users who need to learn how to use the tool the training materials will help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AgilePoint NX: It integrates very well with Office 365, especially with SharePoint Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AgilePoint NX solving and how is that benefiting you? We've let go of our legacy, home grown solutions and migrated those to AgilePoint hence helping us get better from a security and vulnerability stand point. AgilePoint is now being used by many SBGs to automate their processes and to integrate with SharePoint both in the cloud and On Premise to help run business processes.

"Low Code, Highly Flexible" What do you like best about AgilePoint NX? The low-code/no-code model allows you to create workflows as quickly as you need to, but there enough connectors and activities to allow for more complex models as well. I really like the Management console that allows insight and control over all active workflows and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AgilePoint NX? Some of the more advanced workflow activities are not as intuitive as they could be and the documentation does not always offer a good example of how they could be used, but the support team is always very helpful in sorting out questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AgilePoint NX solving and how is that benefiting you? We have created electronic versions of multiple approval processes that supplement our ERP system, both decreasing time to approval and eliminating the paper trail. We have also improved KPI reporting through simple metric-collection forms tied to a short approval.
