Featured Reviews

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.
Nabin Poudel - PeerSpot reviewer
Good templates, nice dashboards, and easy integration with other apps
Push notifications and SMS capabilities can be included in the next release. Also, a modern and updated template library would be great. The website builder can also be improved with more customization and hot reloading features. A standalone system for private servers would be ideal. Mobile apps can be improved to harness current hardware standards. The user dashboard can be made much more elegant. Some kind of gamification, reward, and loyalty programs for users would be awesome to have. Also, integration with more third-party systems would be a plus.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use this solution for user onboarding via email automation and to send out product update newsletters. We also use it send out maintenance messages or ad hoc communication focused on a specific topic."

Cons

"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."
"The solution should improve its reporting feature. There should be more transparency around API development. At the moment, the clients are pushing custom API into the mail, so we don't have too much visibility regarding what endpoints they're pushing the data into."
"A standalone system for private servers would be ideal."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"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."
"I don't have any issues with the service."
"It needs more formatting flexibility, such as the ability to wrap text around photos."
