There is an alternative to Mautic ? šŸ˜• I have used nearly all the different automation platforms from small ones to the mainstream of Oracle and IBM and I can tell you that if you know how to operate Mautic correctly this system is incredible. Not only does it allow you for full ownership but it is fully omni-channel, the community is great, the release of versions are systematic and it is improving month-on-month. But on an objective note - there are many alternatives - it all depends on what your needs are, who you are, how technical you are and how comfortable you are using open source technology. I am sure a simple google search of ā€œMautic competitorsā€ will give you a comprehensive list of alternatives. ---

Thank you, that was a some useful cheerleading. Iā€™m learning to use Mautic and Iā€™m at that phase of the learning curve where it feels daunting. Iā€™ll keep at it! ---
