Kartra Reviews & Product Details

The flexibility and numerous configuration options make this a very capable CRM and auto-mailer system. It seems like the OEM has really though through the use cases and the result is a very robust feature set

The learning curve is not a curve, it's more like a 90-degree wall. In spite of the videos and online Wiki, this is a very complicated system to configure. All of the power and flexibility (and there is a whole lot of both) has translated into a system that is not intuitive in the least.

My entire business is online and global so a system like Kartra is a must for our company. Kartra delivers on all fronts - very strong auto-mailer and campaign management, good CRM capability and VERY powerful web development platform.

What I like best about Karta is the user-friendliness of the program. Karta allows you to easily launch and build a legendary campaign that not only looks great but is useful and functionable.

There is a price. I wish there was a free version you could try without paying. There is also different levels of pricing, depending on what you need.

I like that it has the latest technology which enables us to keep up with our competitor's apps and honestly out-do them because of it. They have years of experience-far from a small start-up company we have used before. They aren't afraid to try new things and it has really benefited our company by letting us be the first in the market with such technology. I love it! It has truly increased our profitability as a company and got our name out there to consumers. It has a quick launch button that helps you launch a new product fast and PROFITABLY! You can create your list builder (email list) in a click of a button which our marketing department LOVES!

I like that I can use Kartra as an all-in-one system. E-mail marketing, landing pages, mini-websites, membership platform, and e-commerce options.

If you are not tech savvy, it's a bit of a learning curve setting everything up.

I've simplified my workflow and marketing automations. The huge benefits are that everything is in one system. It reduces the amount of systems that a person has to use.

It keeps track of memberships and allows for custom content for specific tiers of members.

The web pages and email creation is rather clunky and not user-friendly. It also doesn't integrate with MailChimp.

Karta allows us to have a membership platform without having to build a custom website.

I liked that it was easy to set up landing pages and send emails

I feel like Active Campaign is much easier to use and offers way more options for creating marketing funnels

contacting clients

The memberships and pages are just what we need for our course set-up.

Trying to send emails, find customer lists, etc. is not intuitive.

Having a membership, payments, renewals all in one program is helpful here.

Kartra has everything ready-made for you and ready to go - it takes a lot of the guess work out of building a successful site (specifically email lists, sales funnels and landing pages).

Kartra can seem really overwhelming at first because of the amount of features and details it has.

Kartra is great for sales and building sales funnels.

Aside from the all-inclusive, email marketing, list building, web hosting, page building & so much more business management platform, the best feature I like best is knowing if you need help or support for anything, that Kartra is there for you. They give you every advantage under the sun to be successful in your business through their features and individualized customer support.

Well since my first review. Alot happened. Shortly after I did this review, something very strange happened. I woke up, did my thing and sat down in front of my laptop to login to my Kartra account. Everything seemed normal, entered my username & password then clicked login. Next thing i know, a popup appears telling me I have been blocked and to contact chat support. Now aside from trying to figure out why i was blocked, I now needed to find a way to contact chat support, from the outside of my Kartra account. Not an easy thing to do. My only option was to wait until I was in a different IP and try and login. When all of those methods failed , days had turned into weeks, and weeks into months. I had an associate who I iknew also had a Kartra account forward a message for me to Kartra support, explaining the situation. Another few weeks later, I was finally contacted by someone at Kartra, who never really told me anything. Just that I was no longer welcome at Kartra. This sudden lockout, cost me an entire years worth of commissions. Because as soon as I was locked out, everything in my account failed to renew, failed to re-activate and so on. None of my optin pages worked, my funnels were no more and basically my entire online business dissolved. To this very day, I have never been told WHY this happened, or anything. You would think that for something to end like this, the way it ended, that you would want to let this customer/client know exactly what happened. So they may learn and gain a better understanding of what happened. Kartra in this matter chose to ignore me, lock me out of everything, blacklist me. Totally breaking my online into tiny scattered pieces that I couldnt rebuild quite the same and it never did gain traction again. I wish I had more to tell you but even I dont know and will never know why , out of the blue, i was locked out, never to return to Kartra.

The major problem that I had was being able to see exactly what I had as far as campaign 'pieces'. You'll wonder how your business ran without Kartra because when you dont have to log into separate websites for software, autoresponder's, Domain & Hosting vendors and page builders, are able to address ALL those aspects and more under 1 roof, you'll never want to use any other platform for your business.

The all-in-one promise and pricing-value is attractive

Really obvious there isn't a modern UX / CX team on this app. Tons of user tasks that on some tools might take two clicks take eight or more (they force you through wizards for settings on multiple features and there's no way to bypass it). You'll find some incredibly detailed functionality and then terrible admin implementation. Right now trying to decide if good functionality is worth being mad at the interface all the time.

Building an online course that I may also link with some digital product sales in the future.

It's very easy to navigate and allows you to store all customer information for the company. Support is quick to respond.

There's a lot. Tasks that should be easily done, like removing a url is a total run around. Even when removing a customer from your database, it still stores within the internal system so the customer isn't actually deleted preventing you from using any of the old information. We've also had issues where email blasts have only gone to half our selected group and instead of it then sending to the rest, we have to manually find who didn't receive it - which could be tens of thousands of people.

In all honesty, right now it seems to be causing more problems than it is solving them for our company.
