Michael Olayemi - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides free messages and helps to keep customers updated
The solution is quite low-level and lacks some advanced features. For example, it doesn't provide tracking capabilities, such as knowing how many users opened an email, which is crucial for email marketing. You would need to integrate these analytics with other tools to get them. I need to know if there has been a bounce and how customers interacted with the email. I would only suggest that Amazon WorkMail relax the rules for using Amazon SES in production. When you create an account, it starts in Sandbox mode, which means you can't use it in production right away. You must go through a process, message Amazon, and request to move it to production. Since Amazon is a big company, I feel customers shouldn't need this permission to use the service in production.

A solution that allows its users to conduct effective email and social media marketing campaigns
The automation and scheduling features within the solution are good. You can schedule up to 100 inbound campaigns on social media to be posted at a time that suits you, making it ideal for busy individuals. Additionally, you can also schedule social media and email campaigns to be posted automatically at the same time. So, it is a very good solution for those who are busy. Also, busy individuals would love to use its scheduling feature. Furthermore, Zoho Campaigns offers a variety of good templates to its users. The templates provided can be customized to your liking. For instance, emails can be customized. When you create very good content for emails, you can use them easily. However, adding certain elements that require HTML coding can be challenging as they may not be rendered properly in the client's email service. Despite this, the modules have worked well for me technically.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"There is no need for me to set up security."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing."
"It is highly available and scalable. It is also highly reliable. I don't lose any of the messages or emails. If there is an issue where the email sent operation failed, Amazon as a platform ensures that the send operation is retried, and the email reaches its destination. This way, it is highly reliable."
"It is very stable. I haven't faced any issues."
"Amazon SES can handle a high volume of emails, making it suitable for organizations with large email lists or that need to send a large number of emails on a regular basis."
"The most valuable feature of the Amazon WorkMail for me is the SMC server. It makes my work much easier, especially since I often work with Spring Boot. There are many built-in APIs in Spring Boot that help with messaging. What I appreciate about it is that it simplifies the process. I don't need to write much code; I define the credentials in my properties or environment variables. The Java Message API, an internal API from Spring Boot, does most of the work. I set up the properties and connected them to the SMC server, and I can send emails."
"Zoho Campaigns is a great product. It's easy to use. Zoho Campaigns is integrated with my CRM, so I can see everything happening within my company from the dashboard. I can manage and group my contacts and automate reporting. I enjoy checking on the metrics for my campaign. It also gives me the option of linking with Google Analytics, but I like Azure analytics better."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"We can merge Zoho Campaigns with Zoho CRM and other applications. I think automation is the best feature of the product because it reduces manual inputs. It will work automatically and generate reports."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
"Zoho Campaigns is a very good solution that we use to carry out our email marketing campaigns successfully."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
 

Cons

"When we first set up an email on Amazon SES, they had to verify it, which was not fast enough."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"WorkMail is not available in all the regions."
"Amazon WorkMail's user interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"It would be ideal to have detailed data and reporting on email opens, clicks, bounces, and other metrics, as well as integration with other business intelligence tools."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"The text area for social media posting in Zoho Campaigns is not very responsive."
"It takes a lot of work to get it set up the way you want. It's not an intuitive product. It takes coding work to get the sales process to work. That setup process could be simplified significantly."
"The support team takes a while to respond to our request."
"The reports are not so clear."
"They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"When we use Zoho Campaigns, our emails often get routed to the spam folder instead of the inbox. For example, people who use Gmail to receive our newsletter will often miss it because it was sent to their spam folder. Many of our clients aren't seeing our work. We compared it to another solution, and the open rate was much higher because the emails went directly to the inbox."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very cheap. The cheapest among all the services available."
"I rate the solution's pricing as one out of ten. It is close to being cheap. Sometimes, the tool offers a generous amount of free messages, up to 40,000, which is great for startups like ours. This means that we don't accumulate any costs for some months because we stay within the free usage tier. When we exceed the free allocation, the costs are reasonable, and no hidden charges exist."
"WorkMail does require a license, it is, per user."
"The solution should improve its price."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Price-wise, the solution is expensive."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
"We have an enterprise license for this because we use Zoho for lots of things. We have HR and a bunch of other things. We probably don't pay individually for marketing or sales, and it's all in the overall license that we have."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
