Outstanding content experiences in minutes" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 October 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the industry standard for interactive and sales enablement content. A must have weapon for advanced demand gen marketers that need to capture first party, declared data. > > **Cons**: The user interface is a little tricky in the early days, due to the advanced customization possibilities that it offers, but once you get it, you love it. ----- ### "A+ platform with A+ customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Ed** | *10 February 2016* | Marketing & Advertising > > **Pros**: -always updating. the monthly releases keep getting better and better\! -customer service gets a 10/10 (shoutout to Dave K.\!) -100% responsive platform -data collection works great for every client > > **Cons**: I wish there was a content upload feature, i know that's a crazy "wish", but we are seeing more of this request from clients. > > I work in ion everyday and love everything it has to offer. It's great to work in a platform that is constantly updating to stay ahead of the current trends and customer needs. Customer service is the best i've ever seen with quick responses and extremely knowledgeable suggestions. ----- ### "Getting there" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 March 2016* > > **Pros**: - initial setup was well done, though at a cost. - the product is updated often and stays current with our needs in terms of features - users will html/css skills can get good results - support was always responsive > > **Cons**: - the interface can be tough to grasp for those without previous cms experience, several levels and some buttons that don't convey obvious meanings - creating and managing forms is fairly convoluted - many tabs to navigate - without css/html skills it can be difficult to achieve pixel precision > > Our company used Liveball as a means to support internal stakeholders on "special" projects that we couldn't fit into our company's primary web platform. The hope was that these stakeholders would be able to create and manage their pages minimal hand-holding and maintenance from our dev/creative resources. ----- ### "Daily use" — 5.0/5 > **Tai** | *30 August 2016* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how you can preview your work in ION before making it live. > > **Cons**: I do not like how there is no "undo" button. If you make an error then you have to re-do the project. > > I use ION daily to build landing pages for all my sites for subscription offers. I have found ION to be very easy to use. Being able to copy templates is a huge plus and saves time. ----- ### "Interesting tool for fast collaboration in Marketing" — 4.0/5 > **Max** | *23 December 2015* | Information Technology & Services > > **Pros**: Very interesting way of building landing pages that make it quick for siloed companies. > > **Cons**: When it came to editing the template, it was a little hidden to find things. but nothing that an html, css expert couldn't do. Overall an interesting concept for agile marketing teams that need versatility and speed. > > We used ION for more than 6 months now and we defined templates for marketing programs managers to create their own landing pages based on them. That allowed them to make changes to text and other elements fairly quickly without having to get in touch with the operations or design team. Once the template was defined it was easy for managers to make the changes they wanted. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/445873/ion-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/445873/ion-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
