Likelihood to Recommend Brevo is an excellent email subscriber service provider for startups, small businesses, and budget-conscious users. BUT it's real strength is that as your business scales, so too does Brevo's services. As mentioned in my review, when compared to over-hyped, and super-expensive
AWeber , Brevo wins out in every singly department. Not every 1000, 10000, etc. sub list generates thousands in revenue. So why do other companies charge as if it's a large profitable corporation based on the sub number thresholds? Brevo is reasonably priced without sacrificing solid service. HIGHLY recommended.
Read full review For the price and the features available, Localytics is one of the best options. It is more robust in areas that we don't need it to be and overall there could be simpler flows for sending push notifications or performing actions that you need to do every week. Also, the data it sends back on how push notifications perform is basically useless. There needs to be more explanation on the impact notifications have on users. The data would always say that notifications drove less engagement but we would see engagement go up every time we sent a notification.
Read full review Pros Sendinblue allows you to send emails that do not arrive in spam Sendinblue, through its security measures and filters, helps keep contact databases well organized and up to date Sendinblue offers an easy-to-use newsletter creation tool and, in case of lack of inspiration, many templates Read full review Great web interface which provides a couple of levels of pivoting and filtering of data Straight-forward integration for simpler use cases Access to raw data through S3 for use in your own data pipeline Read full review Cons not easy to move/duplicate sections. much easier to just drag and drop. still working this out. don't like the logo or text included with the newsletter sign up form. have now upgraded, but think this should not be included for lower pricing plans not getting issues completely answered by support team. currently have an issue with email sign up not working on mobile. have been told it is not working, but not given any suggestions on how to fix this. have had unusual issue come up with a link. On 2 separate occasions, with 2 separate newsletters that went out, and 2 different images/articles/links, the link was wrong. Even though we checked it, previewed it and sent test email before we sent out these newsletters and these links were correct. It is the section at the bottom of our current newsletter. On both these occasions, when the customer has forwarded the email they received to us, the link was was to an old link - and it was the same old link on both occasions. We have asked for this to be looked into and are waiting on reply. We are going to try to delete this section this week and re-create. It is not a good look for us. We have another issue with how our newsletter is previewing in Outlook. The images and the text are not lining up - not on every section, but on 2 sections out of the 5 sections. Also, the Read Full Article text in the button is not showing properly. Again, not a professional look for us which we are not happy with. Read full review The biggest thing I would like to see with Localytics is the capability for more correlations. The limited amount of correlations available does restrict the type of analyses that could be done with the data. An easier interface to move data into Microsoft Excel would be very useful, rather than creating annoying workarounds. More/better automatically scheduled reporting, as well as an Excel plug-in to access the data rather than being restricted to the Localytics interface.

Read full review There is a lot of competition. I would renew if there isn't anything more exceptional that would justify the re-coding and implementation load costs
Read full review Usability I am a web designer and systems admin. I have not found anything with this system that was hard to use. Other systems make it hard to do simple tasks and is very limiting. SendinBlue doesn't limit you.
Read full review Reliability and Availability I have never had any planned outages in the time I have been using the software and have had no issues with accessing it.
Read full review Performance Everything loads very quickly, it saves as you go along so you're unlikely to loose work if your computer fails. Reports are there immediately too so you're able to act quickly on customer engagement.
Read full review Support Rating These people helped me identify errors when setting up DKIM and were more than helpful in trying to diagnose low open rates with a few campaigns identifying where improvement can be made and how to more effectively manage contact lists. The support is excellent.
Read full review It would take several weeks to hear back from the billing team. It took 3 months to resolve an invoice last year. Their technical support is very responsive. I would typically get a response in under 24 hrs.
Read full review Implementation Rating If you follow all the steps of the setup process they give you, any one can set this up in about 1 - 2 hours.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I selected Sendinblue because my users and customers don't speak and read English, so the french version of an email solution was the best way to answer them. Since 2017, I always recommended Sendinblue to my customers and partners, even if they use another solution, I convert them and never go back again.
Read full review We have not used other products but are going to start exploring making a switch to a new platform.
Read full review Scalability They have multiple options for upgrading bigger senders or if you need more emails sent in a month.
Read full review Return on Investment The ROI has been very positive - We have been able to bring the entire process in-house to the marketing department We are saving time and money by not involving outside contractors We save resources by not involving I.T. The amount of time we save by being able to create the email from concept to completion, all by one person, is astronomical. We save some cost by using the Sendinblue stock image options Read full review Was our first provider of user-level event data Allows for many users to easily answer their own questions before making requests of the data team Raw data dumps gave the data team the ability to provide more in-depth analyses.
