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 product is very user-friendly."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"It is very stable. I haven't faced any issues."
"Amazon WorkMail integrates with Route 53 and other AWS services, providing a seamless experience when using AWS infrastructure."
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
 

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."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"WorkMail is not available in all the regions."
"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."
"Amazon WorkMail's user interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"The support team takes a while to respond to our request."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"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."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"The reports are not so clear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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