Reviews of Campaign Monitor

Alternatives Considered:
I love Campaign Monitor
Pros:
I am a web developer and their API is fantastic to use. It is easy and straightforward.
Cons:
Some things within their GUI are hard to find and some extra logging features for developers would be handy.
Alternatives Considered:
Good
Comments: Here we have a lot of things to consider on both sides. Overall I would call it good as I did in the review title.
Pros:
I like that Campaign Monitor has easy email templates with drag and drop graphics and stock photos, easy automation tools, and a good user experience in general. Analytics are thorough to me and I like paying a low subscription charge.
Cons:
First of all, I didn't like the way they conducted customer support. Can't call or even live chat. To me that says it's not a priority.On top of that they're missing some social media tools plus CRM and integrations. I don't consider it easy to customize. There's a free trial but it's limited.
Do not recommend. Better Platforms for the price.
Comments: There are many platforms out there at a much lower cost that offer more robust features and functionality and that can be hooked up to Salesforce in a way that might not be as seamless but would be worth it.
Pros:
It is fairly easy to use and integrates with Salesforce, which is why we chose it over Pardot when making an initial selection.
Cons:
There are many limitations, from design to ability to customize the registration confirmation message (no modal???). Also, no way to tell the difference between hard bounces, which makes it impossible to automate deactivation of contacts in Salesforce.
A must have in the toolset of any marketeer
Pros:
It is really easy to utilise, easy to setup your email (choosing from a list of high quality templates) select your recipients and send. It allows for ease of tracking and automation of emails, a must in the toolset of any marketeer.I have used this software for over 10 years and it has kept getting better and improving
Cons:
I have not encountered any issues while using the software, which I have used for over 10 years!
Alternatives Considered:
Best Email Marketing tool available
Comments: I enjoy using Campaign Monitor and will continue to use it for years to come. They are constantly adding new features and updating how things function as new technologies arise.
Pros:
I have been using Campaign Monitor for almost 10 years now and I love the consistent updates available and that the software is always on the edge of what is trending in email marketing. I also love that it is super user-friendly and anyone can learn how to use it with very little training. My favorite feature is the fact that it takes the guesswork out of wondering whether your email will preview on a phone or tablet. The built-in mobile device/tablet view is fantastic and I use that every time I send an email out to make sure it looks good on desktop and mobile. I also like the reporting feature that lets you see who opened your email and who didn't and other useful stats.
Cons:
As a designer, I wish I could customize the emails a little more and that CM provided more formatting options when creating the email, but I understand it has to meet the need of the masses more than my niche market.
