Campaign Monitor by Marigold – Bewertungsseite 4

Vorteile

I like that this product is easily customizable and user-friendly for customizing your own designs. I felt that it was easy for me to make this product work for me the way I needed it to.

Nachteile

It was very challenging to train my sales team on using this product, even with a comprehensive step-by-step guide. This product might be best suited to controlled access and not having "too many hands in the pot".

Vorteile

Campaign Monitor is a full-featured, high-quality email marketing tool. My business has found success using this tool for both internal and external audiences. I find the greatest value in the analytics features of the tool. This helps my marketing team use data to plan directed communications to employees and customers.

Nachteile

The customer service is non-transparent. Campaign Monitor makes many attempts to defer your help requests through pages of FAQs and making it difficult to find their email contact form. It looks like they have a call-in line for premium pay customers, however I did not have any issues I needed to contact them for while I had the premium account.

Vorteile

We use .NET and there is a .NET libray you can make use of so that you can call campaign monitor API easily.
You can create/update/delete subscribers with properties and you can put these properties in the email content if you'd like.
There are so much more you can do with campaign monitor and it is powerful email marketing software.

Nachteile

I cannot think of what I don't like about campaign monitor. I really appreciate that it has wrapper libraries.

Vorteile

Using this Application / Software is a very great choice that I have made in my career. So much useful for my career.

Vorteile

It's very easy to upload email lists and to customize my own email campaigns. Being able to drag a CSV file into the list is such a huge QOL, and I like that Campaign Monitor has it's own templates that I can use to create my own email campaign.

Nachteile

I'm not sure if my company uses this feature as intended, but I'm often uploading and deleting users from the list so that we don't hit the cap. As such, lists often run into negative numbers after I delete them. This becomes a problem when I need to use a list that's a bit smaller - Campaign Monitor understandably can't send to a user list it perceives as having negative users.

Vorteile

Templates are easy to set up and duplicate with many options to format and change as needed.
It's a simple way to manage different campaigns and communicate to your customers

Nachteile

The UI isn't great looking and lacks colour and excitement. I'd also like more information fields available in the lists section.

Vorteile

- It features a mail testing services which saved me more than once
- It's feature plenty and developer friendly
- It can be used for various purposes other than "just" sending emails

Nachteile

- Some parts of the UI are cumbersome and feel stuck in another internet era
- Some services can be very pricey if you don't have a subscription

Vorteile

Very easy to get started with setting up your initial email lists for targeting.
Can easily customize lists based on customer attributes

Nachteile

Somewhat limited functionality. We still use Campaign monitor, but we split our time between this product and one of their competitors since we like the reporting features of one of their competitors.

Vorteile

It has excellent controls over our team's access. It is easy to make up templates and have our team modify them to use. I like the way it saves as you build the template. Great features.

Nachteile

The cost for small companies with low volumes is high. We have a large data base that is divided into 40 or more lists in different languages. We send out targeted marketing to selected real estate groups so the volume sent out per month is low. We only use lists appropriate for the property to avoid unsubscriptions but because our total number of subscribers is high, the monthly cost is higher than I believe is fair.

Vorteile

Campaign Monitor has great flexibility to build custom newsletter designs. It's one of the best compared to other similar platforms.

Nachteile

More complex features are not so pro as we would like. If you would like some automation features and connecting to other services, maybe you should look somewhere else.

Vorteile

That it at least has an API through which you could sync lists from your own database or external source

Nachteile

No way to edit html. Confusing UX for simple tasks. Using advanced segmentation is a pain. Due to recent changes, can't see how personalization tags work in test emails. No native support for simple survey emails.

Vorteile

Very nice interface, easy to learn and use, and you can easily customize lists based on your customer profiles.

Nachteile

Functionality is a tad limited and I would have liked more customization options or templates in the designs.

Vorteile

- Template customization is really easy
- Import email data from almost any source
- Easily to build campaigns
- Professional company that keeps spammers out
- Journey designer

Nachteile

- Image hosting can be messy. I usually host my images on a separate AWS server.

Vorteile

When a company pays attention to design and usability its a clear sign that they care about how well their software works. CampaignMonitor is that kinds of company. I've been using their services for nearly a decade and they never seize to amaze with the quality of their features.
CampaignMonitor is very easy to use, both for creation of campaigns and for checking stats.

Nachteile

The price tag to check how the email design will look in different email clients. It would be nice to have this as a built in feature.

Vorteile

Extremely solid and reliable ESP. Doesn't go down often, and there are minimal issues with deliverability. The features are basic, but solid and there aren't many bugs.

Nachteile

There's a strong lack of features. For example, there are no simple ways to send emails to an unopened segment. There's also no way to easily clean/prune inactive email subscribers. And third, there are limitations on automation triggers.

Vorteile

The ease of use is by far the best thing about Campaign Monitor. No background in coding or HTML? No problem! This platform lets you create visually-appealing emails with only a few clicks of a button. Looking at the email stats was very simple too. Overall it's a good, simple platform to meet your small business needs.

Nachteile

The fact that Campaign Monitor lives outside our system. We had been looking for a simple email marketing tool - which this was. But when we were ready to make the jump into a more robust platform (one that seamlessly integrated with our CRM), it wasn't possible. Plus, not being able to marry together the email insights into our customer actions/deals/leads was a big hindrance.

Nachteile

some advice from the stats report

Vorteile

This platform is great for agencies or freelancers who want to set clients up to send their own emails but you make a percentage which you determine with every send they executed. It is also easy to set up the templates with basic html code.

Nachteile

The customer service would be the one con as it took forever to get a response the one time I needed it.

Vorteile

We love the visualizations and being able to drill into what is happening in our various campaigns.

Vorteile

I love the ease of importing contacts and how easy it is to create a beautiful email with a true WYSIWYG editing tool. Great set of templates to start with. Cool map to watch opens as they happen.

Nachteile

I don't have a lot of issues here. I wish that I could see every open but I know that's a limitation on some mobile devices and not CM themselves.

Vorteile

- I found it very easy to use and learn
- We have relatively basic requirements (just send regular email campaigns) and it's perfect for that.

Nachteile

It would be great if we could save out brand colours somewhere so we could be sure that everyone follows the guidelines.
I would like to have more flexibility in the email editor (e.g. switch between 1 and two columns in the same block). But I understand how that's really tricky to do with this builders so it might be asking for too much.

Vorteile

Fantastic campaign builder that takes the work out of email marketing.

Nachteile

There is almost too much choice, which can make it daunting for new starters

Vorteile

Anyone could be up and running within minutes, whether you're a pro or just getting started. Importing, then segmenting records, all the way to designing and sending emails is a cinch.

Nachteile

There's nothing to dislike about Campaign Monitor. It does everything we need it to and actually more than we expected. Also, the reporting is clear and easy to understand.

Vorteile

Fantastic automation for drip email campaigns, very simple to use. At the basic level it is a fantastic tool for small businesses to build proper email marketing campaigns using automation.

Nachteile

There is nothing in particular that I truly dislike about this product.

Vorteile

I'll admit I am a little new to this and so it was very easy to use for a first timer and I love the templates it offers.

Nachteile

It can get a little pricey for basic features. The customization can also be improved for the price given.

Vorteile

Really helped me monitor the performance of my marketing campaigns and adjust my spend to where I'm seeing the most returns

Nachteile

Not sure how I feel about the long term viability of email in general. Lots of clients want to have me text them vs. email. But the product works well enough!

Vorteile

1) Easy to use
2) You can easily customize your messaging inline with the campaign or communication using the available templates.
3) The templates provided give a guide on soft sell and Hard sell marketing communication from looking at the layout
4) The automation process helps you have control over when and how the communication is sent out
5) UX design is simple for a new user to get started.
6) Email receipt is instant from time of sending.

Nachteile

There is no instant chat option for help in case of challenges i may face.

Vorteile

I feel like I've tested nearly all of the email marketing software out there and Campaign Monitor is easily one of the best options out there. Great UI/UX, easy to use, and lots of integrations and templates. Highly recommended!

Nachteile

Getting used to the software was really the only small issue some of our team ran into. I was pretty used to Mailchimp and SendGrid so getting used to this wasn't too much of an issue. There is also lots of online tutorials and they have quality customer services as well.

Vorteile

Campaign Monitor is incredibly easy to use. From importing and managing addresses to designing the emails themselves, it makes everything as easy as it should be. In fact it has been so easy I felt like I must have missed something when running our first campaign. Fortunately I didn't.

You can get up and running in a matter of minutes.

Nachteile

I'd love for there to be more templates for the emails.

Vorteile

The focus on great user experience and effective design throughout the backend is second to none. It actually makes using Campaign Monitor a pleasure to use.

Nachteile

Off the top of my head - nothing! Possibly, during the transition to the new templating system a few years back, it took a little while to get used to it. But that's more a user error. Now I'm so pleased they changed things up.

Vorteile

Campaign Monitor is great for creating e-mail marketing campaigns, but the ability to test and preview and the documentation for best practices is what I like the most about this service.

Nachteile

I really like this service, but they could offer a free plan like MailChimp does (which is pretty robust in fact).

Vorteile

They have some great features within their system like social sharing buttons in campaigns, an easy to use point-and-click editor, and nice analytics.

Nachteile

Though, it lacks though compared to other email automation services such as Infusionsoft or Hubspot.

Vorteile

Simple to use templates for any kind of email campaign make starting a business so much easier. I spent tons of time trying to create my own from 'free' templates but once I started messing around with apps with which I wasn't familiar it took time I didn't have. At this point in time all I want is a generic template later on I may customize.

Nachteile

On the template it wasn't exactly clear how to insert a logo that included a picture with text if the logo wasn't print ready.

Vorteile

The software is classy, excellent looking, has great analytics, is very reasonable, is easy to set up and manage AND if there is any trouble, CampaignMonitor has an outstanding customer service team. We have been using CM for several years now and from the first newsletter we sent out we were impressed.

Nachteile

There is nothing I dislike. The software is easy to use.

Vorteile

Although testing on the likes of litmus is great, Campaign monitor gives the ability to test emails EXACTLY. This has been excellent for development and my learning about email code

Nachteile

None come to mind, this has been quite easy to use and navigate and has helped with the amending and checking of emails. I'm not a QA expert though so feel I can't comment completely on this.

Vorteile

It's pricing is really reasonable. Since I had to juggle around a couple of mailing systems during last years, I was able to get an overview and compare it with competitors. At CampaignMonitor you really get your value in money even if it's simple solution.

Nachteile

It does not give you a lot of options to play with - so if you want to add some conditions etc you'll find yourself looking for other solution. Reporting CM providers is too simple and send over as graphic image with not many options to narrow it down.

Vorteile

You can easily make a good looking email in a very short amount of time. The features make it very easy to create something.

Nachteile

Building and maintaining email distribution lists isn't the best feature I've seen. It's also cumbersome at times to go through past emails sent.

Vorteile

Super easy to use and there are a ton of templates to build off of. Stats are also easy to read and report off of.

Vorteile

Intuitie UI, Easy to onboard & setup, Ubercool email editor makes this tool really stand out amongst competition. Support and pricing is really good and are at a different level.

Nachteile

Haven't faced any under the cons side so far yet.

Vorteile

Campaign Monitor is a really great app, it does everything it promises and has a ton of variety in layout for emails, buttons, links and everything you would need to make a great campaign email! It organizes our lists very well and is definitely one of the better solutions out there!

Nachteile

The thing I would like to see improved is the interface. It is a bit difficult to understand and really not very intuitive. Once you have a grasp on it though, you can manage!

Vorteile

Setting up accounts for clients is simple
Reporting structure is good
Buying credits for client is easy task

Nachteile

html modification has lots of restrictions
pre-built themes are ill-designed
Test emails if bounced, are not deliverable

Vorteile

Our company loves using Campaign Monitor! It's very user friendly and aesthetically pleasing!

Nachteile

Contacting customer service is very complicated with Campaign Monitor, which can be quite frustrating in time sensitive situations.

Vorteile

I can say that this application is great and easy to use for monitoring campaigns which helped our business.

Nachteile

The cost for small businesses is too high. If only the price were a bit lower maybe we would subscribe to this tool.

Vorteile

- Fitted for agencies and companies of all sizes
- Automated unsubcribe functionality
- Plug-and-play journey designer
- No setup fee

Nachteile

- Basic customer support
- Campaign transfers are complicated
- Lack of image hosting

Vorteile

It has some nice built in engagement segments (wish they were customizeable), and a decent set of basic integration capabilities. For the price, it does ok.

Nachteile

The custom HTML email editing is a pain, you can't actually edit the HTML in the platform, so you've got to constantly upload, test, and re-upload changes.

The built in forms are extremely basic, and it's workflows could use a bit of modernization.

Vorteile

Each stage outlines exactly what is required before you launch a campaign which is a great help when smashing out campaign after campaign. The HTML editor that converts CSS inline is also very useful. Currently use if for all my larger clients.

Nachteile

A prettier UI would be a benefit. Mailchimp has got this bang on. Campaign Monitor feels a lot more stripped back (not a bad thing, just a personal preference)

Vorteile

It is easier (than Mailchimp) to build templates and it's advanced enough to create customizable templates. One can generally tell if an email was made in Mailchimp because the UI is so basic. One can't tell if they made it in Campaign Monitor because you can make a template look very unique, advance and sleek. I also like their advanced personalization features such as automating dynamic content into an email based on segmentation.

Nachteile

It is more pricey than other services. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner with a low budget. Campaign Monitor could be an overkill if you're just starting out. But Campaign Monitor is something you would want to eventually progress to.

Vorteile

The data that CM is able to extract is pretty elaborate. Helps seeing the performance of campaigns and how to plan them better.

Nachteile

Wasn’t very crazy about the UI/UX. For the price we paid I would have expected something better and friendlier to use.
