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.
Manav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"The solution scales well."
"They enable us to automate all the communication with our clients around commercial campaigns, marketing activities, and also during transactional tasks, basically, any transaction that happens on the account."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization by being a trusted partner for sending emails."
"It does everything we need. It's got templating. It's got email validation. It's great."
"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."
"They have pretty good support in terms of any issues."
"Their REST API feature is the most amazing and easy API I have used."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"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."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
 

Cons

"The documentation is not fine, so I believe the documentation needs to be improved."
"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login. For certain people, SendGrid requires MFA, which is good as a security feature, but it doesn't always work in all geographies. We've got people and users who are based in Nigeria, and some of those people had real trouble logging into SendGrid because the MFA wouldn't send codes to people on their numbers. The security mechanism that they use for login doesn't work in all geographies."
"They are very bad at supporting clients."
"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."
"If you don't really have an advanced subscription for SendGrid, it might take a while for you to reach the customer support."
"The reporting part needs improvement."
"So, don't think that you could do anything with SendGrid on email matters."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
"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."
"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."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"The emails were going to spam a lot despite us making various changes, and it appeared to be more because it was being sent from Zoho than anything else."
"They could get better at dealing with spam. They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
 

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."
"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"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."
"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 is relatively inexpensive."
"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"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."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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 solution's pricing is reasonable."
