Pros and cons

The automatic syncing of emails to Salesforce is great, and seamless when paired with G-suite Mail. I'm a huge fan of their notification tool too to bubble up specific threads at any specified time.
What we liked about it was its simplicity once set-up, and the ease of telling whether or not someone opened the email sent, and where that person was located.
Yesware's mailmerge and templates are some of the best in the industry in terms of ease of use and overall function.
Their layout within their templates are completely restricted. This means you cannot upload anything from a photo to a gif without some type error or layout dysfunction.
Spam detection software is junk. We have found no spam detection software that is reliable and turn off anything to ensure nothing is missed.
The emails I sent using yesware tracking were send to spam. Which makes it's use redundant if the tracking send with the emails can be easily tracked and qualified as spam.

Alvaro P.: Hi, I'm Alvaro and I am an executive coach and experiential sales trainer, and I give Yesware a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I considered using HubSpot to do what Yesware does, and it didn't really work out for me. It was way too much program with too many features and didn't do any one thing particularly to the level that I wanted. I chose Yesware because it's simple, easy to use, very intuitive, and it does what it says it's going to do. And it functions across my Android device, my PC, and I couldn't be happier. Getting started with Yesware was really easy. It was pretty well click and play. There's not a lot to do and I don't think there's more than a handful of instructions to get going. So it's super easy and it just works. If you are looking to have excellent communications with your clients and your prospects, if you want to know what perhaps some of your colleagues or teams are doing when they're checking their emails, what they're clicking through on, how often they're opening the email, when they open their email, Yesware is a no-brainer. It's easy to use. It gives you all the alerts you need. It has a very easy to follow and use dashboard, and I think that since I've started using Yesware, my open rate on emails and how often I've talked to clients has increased dramatically.

The best value for complex features

Terra: Hi, I'm Terra, I'm the VP of operations and creative for a marketing agency, and I give Yesware a four out of five. Before Yesware we were having a really hard time figuring out how to track our emails and opens. We were trying to use things like Bitly to make our documents a hyperlink, and we could go log in and see how often somebody had clicked on them, but it wasn't all the information that we needed. We had tried using our CRM to track the opens, but again, it just wasn't what we needed. So then we found Yesware. The reason we chose Yesware is because it did pretty much everything that we needed it to do. It would track when people had opened the emails, it would track if they clicked on a link, and it actually did more than that. It could tell us how many times they had clicked on the link, what time they had opened the email, if they opened it from their cell phone or their computer. And it can even tell us a bit of their location, so sometimes we knew somebody was obviously on vacation and not at their desk. I will say it was a little difficult to integrate Yesware. They definitely try to make it simple, and they send you an email of, click this, do this test, we'll make sure that it's going, and you definitely see it in your inbox, it's got a little bit of a layover of user interface. But I do remember that it took a couple of times to get it figured out, and now it wants to be on all of my email addresses. So if I open another inbox, it tries to add Yesware to it. So it wasn't super, super simple to get integrated with our Gmail, but it also wasn't extremely difficult. I'd say maybe, on one to 10, it was probably a four. My recommendations for anybody considering using Yesware is they do a free trial, add it in, give it a try, see if it does what you need it to do. And then beyond that, it's actually very cheap to keep running, so just do the free trial.

The Best Email Marketing Campaign

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

I love how this integrates with Sales Force and how you can customize campaigns. The email tracking is super useful (sometimes it doesn't show exact details though) as it can tell when a client is engaging and when are the best times for outreach.

Cons

I wish there were more helpful tutorials on best practices of this product and that editing a campaign already in use was a bit more intuitive.

Automate your emails with Yesware!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall - great product! Saves you a lot of time and makes email writing more effective!

Pros

I love a lot of features of this product. First, the email templates saves a lot of time when sending out repetitive emails. I also like that I can create my own campaigns on Yesware which can run in the background. I can create campaigns and templates which I can share to the team and they can make edits on it depending on their communication style. It also integrates with Salesforce which allows up to back track previous communication if needed.

Cons

The analytics part I think needs more work done, oftentimes I find the date doesn't match. Or I just don't know how to interpret the numbers. Maybe someone from Yesware should build a guided tour of the reports tab.

Great Email Activity Tracking!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Yesware has more features that what we are currently using such as email campaigns but we are happy with the way that it syncs Gmail emails to Salesforce as we use Salesforce as our main system of record.

Pros

We use Yesware to sync Gmail activity into Salesforce in order to maintain and improve sales team efficiency. Other than one occurrence when a users connection from Yesware to Salesforce unexpectedly dropped, we have had no other issues and the automatic tracking of emails sent and also emails that have been opened, clicked and replied to has proven very beneficial for our company. Yesware send me a weekly report of all tracked email activity from the past 7 days which is a nice feature.

Cons

Yesware did unexpectedly lose the connection to Salesforce for one of our users which resulted in some emails not being included in our reporting, but the Customer Service team were very responsive to investigate.

Stay away from this product!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Frustrating and out of pocket.

Pros

Its great being able to review if someone has opened your email - IF your email even gets sent!

Cons

- Product does NOT send your scheduled emails & keeps them in your drafts - Yesware is not able to match their product well enough with Gmail which causes "environmental errors" - Yesware quote. Meaning, Yesware is comfortable moving this issue onto Gmail, the user or bad luck. - Yesware will not refund your money when they can't inform of why their product did not send - Yesware templates are more than below average with limited: font selection, size selection or colour coding. Their layout within their templates are completely restricted. This means you cannot upload anything from a photo to a gif without some type error or layout dysfunction. - Yesware customer service is delayed. If you have a design issue or need guidence they won't respond within 1-2 working days. They attribute this to being based in the USA, however, continue to market towards customers in all times zones. - Yesware do not permit public google reviews for open disclosure of issues and limitation of their service.

Great For Any Salesperson!

Yesware makes me more efficient and effective as a salesperson and relationship builder.

Pros

First of all, the email tracking feature of Yesware has been life-changing. I no longer have to try to read a client's mind or guess when the appropriate time to follow up is. Beyond follow-ups, I can also track email performance, which is an incredibly powerful advantage to have when half of your job is through email communication.

Cons

I wish it was more customizable, but overall I have gained so much from using this software.

Amazing Email Scheduling Tool

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Excellent tool for managing email marketing or just replies and basic inbox zero related tasks. The tracking feature to see when and where emails are open is extremely valuable/

Cons

I found Yesware sometimes had issues with my browser and Boomerang was a bit better with those issues. Additionally, I am not a lawyer but GDPR rules have made great tools like Yesware more complicated to use related to privacy rules of readers. However, overall its an excellent product and i recommend it.

Underwhelming, admittedly being reviewed on limited features

Reviewed 6 years ago

Not sure if the product performs well at its other functions, but I didn't see results with email/ attachment tracking.

Pros

I used this product while shopping for software to track email attachments; Yesware flogs that feature heavily on their website. The Pro was that their Outlook integration is pretty concise. A small button in the Outlook ribbon gives you access to a dropdown containing your Yesware dashboard. Given that I was only interested in this product to subtly see who'd opened or shared my emails, the key information was very easily found.

Cons

I don't know what the issue was but the product never seemed to work. It told me emails I'd sent hadn't been opened... when I'd actually sent them to a peer at a neighboring desk and watched him open the message. I allowed several days for the system to update but didn't see a status change. This strongly influenced my decision to not recommend this product to my superiors.

Canned responses taken to the next level

Reviewed 6 years ago

Yesware has made my job so much simpler. As a template, the fields where I need to enter information are shown as RED if I forget to enter the proper information there, which makes it really easy to catch if you do a quick scan of the message before pressing send. Possibly my favorite feature is that you can share the templates with your team, so everyone doesn't need to create their own.

Pros

I rely on "canned responses" a lot, and Yesware makes it so easy to personalize those responses by creating more of a e-mail template than a canned response. You're also able to track what e-mails templates get opened most frequently which is really beneficial when trying to figure out if your subject lines are effective.

Cons

I've only been using this software for a few months, and have not yet encountered anything negative about it.

The thing I like the most about this software is that it will tell you not only when someone opens an email but actually what they are clicking on and looking at within the email.

The thing I like the least is that sometimes it won't sync to a certain email and the tracking tools won't work. This happens very, very rarely.

Yesware is a life saver and worth every penny

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

So I actually used Yesware when it first came out and merged over to the paid version for a little while. I left my company and didn't need. Now that I have my little side hustle going, I came back to Yesware and can truly say it has been a vital point for email tracking, attachment tracking, setting reply reminders, and using templates. Prospecting hasn't become a pain and I'm in love with the new Appointment feature!

Cons

I don't have any "Cons," but more so a gripe. Yesware's only CRM integration is with Salesforce. I'm a solopreneur and Salesforce is way too big for me. I use a different, free, CRM that suits my needs and it's a popular CRM that has many other integrations... except Yesware. It would be nice to be able to integrate with Yesware with other CRMs. The only way to "integrate" is to save outbound emails via bcc with your CRM's custom email that will sort your emails inside of the CRM.

Yesware is an important tool to support my high performance as a sales person

Reviewed 7 years ago

Yesware helps me be efficient, effective and productive as a sales rep. I also am able to see which emails perform the best (both individual and on a team basis). Knowing when someone opens or clicks an email is great leverage in the sales cycle! I of course never mention this to the prospect, however it allows me to manage my pipeline effectively.

Pros

The visibility created from email tracking is extremely useful! I love knowing when someone opens or clicks on an email. In addition, I save a ton of time by using the templates feature. All my emails also sync directly to Salesforce, which saves a ton of time and energy and keeps me organized! Mail Merge and Reporting are also neat, although I use those less frequently.

Cons

The email editing software is a bit wonky on the web, but works great within gmail. That's really the only con I have - everything else is top notch!

Reviewed 8 years ago

Yesware was one of the original pioneers of software for salespeople. While it's become increasingly competitive, I'd still say it's a great choice, especially for reps who are responsible for the full sales cycle, reporting and forecasting for themselves. Now standard features like email analytics to let you know a prospect opened an email or clicked a link were magical. Since they've layered on a bunch of other features like dialers, step cadences, predictive analytics. In the end you have a lot of choices here, but I recommend taking them up on their free trial period and decide for yourself.

Pros

Fast time to value

Cons

Driving teamwide adoption can be a challenge
