Cost effective communication solution that has added value to our projects by facilitating automated and ad hoc customer communication
Reporting for this solution could be improved. For example, when you run A/B tests or MVT tests with multiple variants, then it is difficult to get a consolidated report. There are limitations on how to use the automation. The sending of messages could be more transactional as it is only possible to synchronize one per day.
Ghias Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for digital marketing purposes, such as creating and managing email campaigns
Mailchimp could be more user-friendly for setting up WordPress websites. Some of the complex settings can be time-consuming to configure. So, setting up Mailchimp for WordPress websites can be time-consuming for an average user but not necessarily difficult. It's time-consuming, especially when adding custom code to email campaigns. It requires some experience and knowledge to do it effectively.
