Dynamic templates have streamlined student and parent email campaigns and build consistent engagement
The activity log is a little slower at times, but that is probably just nitpicking an issue. Overall, in general, there are not really very difficult pain points. There are certain issues sometimes when we are trying to handle a very big campaign; we might end up having a little bit less reputation in terms of bounces or spam reports that get detected when we send out the emails. Apart from that, there is not anything that would become a significant pain point. If you don't really have an advanced subscription for SendGrid, it might take a while for you to reach the customer support.

A good software for email marketing that integrates well with other third-party software, but its UI should be improved
I have found two or three issues with Zoho Campaigns. If we add any email content, Zoho Campaigns takes a lot of time to review by the back end. Two years back, a client set up Zoom Campaigns, and the lead was not entered into the campaign. The flow and everything else was fine, but entering the journey or the campaign took time. My company lost a customer because it took two weeks to review the emails we entered into that content. Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging. So that's why people have started moving to Zoho marketing automation instead of Zoho Campaigns. Zoho Campaigns should include immediate sync for the deals model because it's still not there. Whenever a lead is entered, it is immediately synced, but there is no immediate sync for the deals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my experience, the best features SendGrid offers include the dashboard, which is very nice to review if emails were delivered or if something was wrong."
"Since switching to SendGrid, I have seen that time is saved, and the trust of the portals like Gmail and Outlook ensures the emails are received quickly with minimum failure, which increases the business."
"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization by being a trusted partner for sending emails."
"SendGrid is a most powerful third-party tool to use for email sending, and it improves the delivery rates compared to other services."
"Their REST API feature is the most amazing and easy API I have used."
"The most valuable feature is the conditions in automation."
"My integration team likes that it's very easy to integrate and very easy to automate based on activities that happen on our core banking application."
"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."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
"The solution is very inexpensive and very reasonably priced."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"It’s a very easy product to use, you do not need to be tech savvy or a whizz at email marketing."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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

"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"Pricing can be improved for SendGrid, as this is the only area I have seen that needs enhancement."
"The documentation is not fine, so I believe the documentation needs to be improved."
"SendGrid has room for improvement in the UI/UX or dashboard usability for users. Another area for improvement in the tool is its conditional logic facilities. The response time of SendGrid technical support needs improvement."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization as we moved to it from our own email servers, though it also gives us less control over everything."
"I would prefer an easy plugin for Linux mail installation."
"If you don't really have an advanced subscription for SendGrid, it might take a while for you to reach the customer support."
"A long time ago, I may have had an issue, and I had to wait for support, which wasn't that helpful. However, that was a very long time ago. Overall, I've had a good experience."
"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."
"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."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"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."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the essential plan which is $20 a month. After that, we use the pro which is $90 a month, and had all our costs bundled in."
"My company pays for SendGrid monthly, and though I cannot share the amount, my feedback is that the vendor should accept other modes of payment apart from a credit card."
"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"The solution is relatively inexpensive."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"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."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
