I sent an email about some issues and to notify them of some bugs... then a second email. Finally received a response "we'll research it and get back to you"... never heard back.
The Bad:
- Aweber contacts need to be manually synced. This is a problem if you ask people to watch for our confirmation email.
- Took a very long time to load
- Links on Facebook did not work properly when used with mobile devices. The app did not redirect if it recognized a mobile device. Towards the end of the trial, they may have fixed this.
- Dashboard won't display properly on mobile devices (no mobile version).
I use Shortstack today. It is more difficult to master, but is also much more powerful. Shortstack lacks in offering a link that I can send to customers via email. Their referral popup is lacking and there are no controls for it. I like that I can create actions that show or hide content. Definitely seems to be much more developed. I also tried Contest Domination. After spending a considerable amount of time creating the promotion, I tested it only to learn that it was crap.
Pros
Easy to setup
Cons
I primarily gave it a one star because there was no support... but there were a handful of marketing related emails.
Response from Antavo
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your valid feedback. Antavo was in a heavy transition phase at the end of last year with a pressure on the entire team. This is not an excuse though, and let us comment on your points, despite we have already done it a while back ago in email:
1) Aweber integration: your issue is out of our control, it's an Aweber policy that the collected leads can not be synced to your list without a second confirmation from your subscribers. In other words when you start the synchronization process, the subscribers will automatically receive an email from Aweber to consent their subscriptions.
2) Mobile device redirects: This must have been a temporary issue as all of our apps are mobile optimized even for Facebook or microsite campaigns.
3) Dashboard mobile compatibility: Until now we have focused on maximizing the mobile compatibility of our apps (see point 2), but we have also recognized your need and improvements here are in top priority.
Should you change your mind and give another chance to our service, we are here for your availability @ [email protected].
Look forward to hearing from you.

I have a great experience with Antavo. I have a great relationship with our CSM and I'm so grateful for that, she comes to me with ideas and I do the same. We then take those ideas and move them forward to make them happen!
Pros
I like that it is easy to be innovative. it isn't just about what the art of the possible is but how do you make it happen and there is a helping hand along the way to help you get there!
Cons
the thing I find the most difficult is the lack of technical knowledge I have I call on Antavo Technical team but they are second to none, so we always get there!

Antavo - What should I say? I'am horribly disappointed. I'am on the expert plan trial (2nd day). Have set up a photo contest. My problems with Antavo are as follows:
1) The Antavo dashboard doest load at all on phones. So, you cannot manage your campaign on the move. Better carry your desktop or laptop with you wherever you go.
2) In the "photo contest" app, the "upload file" link does not trigger anything on Android devices. It's a dead link. Nothing happens! I ran the photo contest for 2 days just to see there were no participants. It works on the microsite though. Also works on laptop and iOS.
3) On the website they mentioned about "email+phone support" for the "Expert" plan. But I do not find any contact number anywhere.
4) So, the phone support is available only when the trial is over and once you pay?? What's the point of free trial at the first place? HORRIBLE!!
Pros
1) Good email options
2) Customization of the contest pages is pretty simple
3) The mechanism and rule settings is nice.
Cons
1) Antavo dashboard doesn't load on mobile devices, so forget about campaign management on hand-held devices.
2) Lots of bugs: Upoad file doesnt work when users try uploading pictures from their Android devices. Not sure about Windows and Blackberry. But this sucks when you are paying $249 / Month.
3) Pricing page says "phone support" available. But no phone number is available anywhere on the site or emails.
4) According to some reviews I've read online, the phone support is available after the free trial, once you pay $249. What a JOKE!!
Response from Antavo
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedbacks and we are sorry for the inconveniences that you may have experienced by using our service. We would like to reflect on your points, as we couldn't get in touch immediately due to the weekend in general and the time zone differences:
1) Mobile compatibility of the Antavo platform: So far we have prioritized the mobile compatible performance of our apps, so campaign subscribers have a seamless experience on various devices. Of course, we know that its also important for our clients to monitor their campaigns’ performance whenever and wherever they wish. It’s in our development pipeline as a priority.
2) An uploading issue on Android devices: This is unfortunately out of our control, a noted Facebook bug that we have already flagged to them several times. The key point is that Facebook’s own "browser", which automatically opens links doesn't allow file uploads. For iOS we have a temporary workaround, but not for Android which is more difficult to manage.
3) Phone Support: Our support has been rated outstanding so far. As our product is globally available, we prefer email communication due to the time zone differences. However, we do pick up the phone when is needed. That is the reason why you should leave your phone number in your profile settings.
4) Free trial: during this 7-day validation period you can even request a free demo from us. We usually schedule these calls to the weekdays.
Please note that we take support very seriously and you can reach out to us @ [email protected] anytime. This also leaves with you the option to schedule a call if you wish to.
Look forward to talking to you.

There are many features that we can activate inside the Antavo loyalty platform, but if I think about the ones that have had a direct impact on our business, I would definitely choose the following.
We can create dedicated events to track and reward special initiatives (like surveys, games, in-store purchases). We can create different kind of rewards to make them more attractive to the customers. We can handle double points campaigns on certain categories to incentive purchases.
Pros
I like the fact that Antavo software is very user friendly and that we can customize it according to our needs, adding new features and new modules every time the strategy requires it.
Cons
It could be a little bit more intuitive in the text editor.
Response from Antavo
Dear Francesca,
Thank you for your review.
We loved to hear your feedback! Good news is that the text editor feature is already in our development pipeline. We will always be on the lookout to see how we can improve our product to better suit your needs.

We run a career and employment website and were looking for ways to increase the visibility of our job listings. We set up our loyalty program with Antavo's software and, since using the program, we've been able to help our customers (both employers and job seekers) get noticed more on our site.
We're currently rewarding customers for several actions they can take on the site, including uploading a CV and reading job postings and this has given us an increase in newsletter registrations, resume uploads, listing reviews and overall activity on our site.

Antavo delivers. Period. They not only have a great customer service, but also seems to be better than other solutions out there. Antavo excels both in customer acquisition and engagement. Love their newsletter integrations. Note that there are some negligible bugs, else A+. This is the only reason why I am giving them 4 stars.
