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.
Deepa Govind - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that has the ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction
Zoho Campaigns comes under Zoho Cloud. I'm happy with the generic report stack available on Zoho Campaigns. I am not a data analyst. I understand simple English and simple sentences. So these reports help me understand how many people open my email, and beyond that, I don't need other insights. If somebody clicks on a Zoho Creator course, I know it's the right target I have to reach. In the same email, if somebody clicks on my website, I know they are more interested in understanding my credibility before they get interested in the course. This way, my needs are solved based on the generic reports. Since it interfaces with other parts of Zoho, I would recommend Zoho Campaigns to other users. Overall, I rate Zoho Campaigns an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is that Amazon SES provides verified email messages."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."
"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."
"We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"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."
"Amazon WorkMail integrates with Route 53 and other AWS services, providing a seamless experience when using AWS infrastructure."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Putting the campaigns together on Zoho is reasonably straightforward. They have a little campaign builder tool that works very well as long as you don't want the campaign to be too sophisticated."
"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."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"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 support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"Email service is definitely a requirement from an enterprise standpoint. Many organizations have their own on-premise email services, which take a lot of memory, backup, and other resources. If we can have a completely managed backup solution where we have a tiered backup or a tiered archival to be able to retrieve emails, it would be great. I would like to be able to retrieve emails in real-time (hot retrieval), over the 90-days period (warm retrieval), and over the one-year period (cold retrieval). It would be useful to have tiered backup and retrieval. It would help us in managing emails better and have a better backup solution. So, backup is something that we require."
"WorkMail is not available in all the regions."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"Amazon WorkMail's user interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
"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."
"I would like the product to include a feature that shows website traffic similar to Mailchimp. I would also like to get user and customer activity on the website so that we can easily set campaigns according to customer interest."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"The reports are not so clear."
"They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very cheap. The cheapest among all the services available."
"The solution should improve its price."
"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 tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"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."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
