Cadences

Cadences

I have just started using Cadences for follow-up up email pipeline.

Is it just me or do you find the functionality very basic?

For example, it will tell me (if I go looking for it) if someone has replied to a follow-up and been unenrolled; but it won't tell me who it was.  I have to create a report and try to decipher it.

Is there no way to see WHICH LEADS are at WHAT STAGE of the Cadence?
A simple drop-down or visual aid.

Or am I being a fool to myself and should somehow be trying to use Campaigns or Marketing Automation???

I'd also like (when a Lead replies or reaches the end of the sequence) for it to change a pick-list field in my Leads record to "unenrolled" or "replied".
