Likelihood to Recommend I use 7Sheep for marketing as a sales person. This works well for me as a single user. I do not think I could use the software together with my colleagues. Although we could have separated lists the access rights might not fit our use case. It has a strong marketing focus and cannot replace a full CRM system.
Read full review Automatization has Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud on very high level, we are able to set up over 20 different fully automatized long term campaigns that require very few adjustments over time and we are working on more and more. Also segmentations is on amazing level. I never worked with such an accurate level of customer segmentation. Where I think Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud could be better is reporting, some detailed lookups for me are difficult to set even as a data analyst. I hoped Loome would help me with that, but since Notino has so many custom adjustments, Loome does not work very well with them.
Read full review Pros When preparing an event, 7Sheep takes care of pretty much everything you need to select, inform, and register participants, as well as prepare materials for the events, such as name badges and signature lists. We also use 7Sheep for reporting on communications activities. 7Sheep allows you to build simple or complex forms and questionnaires which we use both for events and independent surveys. The drag and drop HTML editor makes things look good without a lot of extra effort. Read full review All in one. We have experience working with other CDP/Marketing suites and it is really difficult to connect their different modules. Bloomreach Engagement has been built to be a single product which makes everything easy to use Fast and real-time. Other platforms struggle with getting real-time volumes or segmenting based on real-time events, that is not the case with Bloomreach Engagement GCP partnership. Being deployed over GCP and having BigQuery as raw data export makes really easy to expand and connect with existing stacks Read full review Cons I know that they are working on a simpler way to send a test e-mail to yourself. This will streamline my activities as well and I look forward to that system change (which was suggested by a client. I have also suggested improvements which have been implemented.) I miss an easy unsubscribe feature (like you get in MailChimp). Overall, 7Sheep's system is more flexible (good) but that does make it more complex to split up (not so good). Setting up the SPF record in our DNS system was flexible and easy but for DKIM integration we had to contact the 7Sheep support. They do not check or show the necessary records in the tool. Customer service was great, though, so not a very big problem, just a bit of a nuisance. Read full review While Importing the offline data, sometimes the auto detection is failed to detect the csv file While we import with wrong mapping, even after pressing escape before the import starts, its not cancelling the import. it start running. It would be great if it stops the import it would be great if we receive email for successfully finished imports too Read full review Likelihood to Renew The tool serves our needs and we like the user interface. The few times we contacted support they were super helpful and responsive. When we asked for more integrations they confirmed the integrations we need (e.g. Hipchat) for the near future.
Read full review So far, Hippo is our ideal tool given its use of open standards which helps us to have a clear overview of what's coming next in the future Hippo releases. We are very confident in the future-readiness of the product
Read full review Usability It is easy to use and if I do have a problem or question I receive an answer almost immediately.
Read full review In my time working with Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud, I always liked to work with it. It is crucial that you get support from experts from the beginning to show you how to work with the vast amount of options and activities to choose from. The learning curve is also well-rounded because of its user-friendly interface and highly skilled customer support.
Read full review Reliability and Availability 99% of the time the site is available for when we need to use. With any cloud based software there will be occasion that there is an outage but this is communicated effectively and dealt with quickly. This has never got in the way of what we need to do in our day to day work and wouldn't be thought of as a problem
Read full review Performance The search API is very fast (150ms), even considering we have nearly 2 million products in our catalog. The console pages where you do your configuration, add ranking rules and synonyms are sometimes a bit slower to load, but your customer would not notice any of that. The reports pages are also not the fastest, but definitely okay
Read full review Support Rating With both chat and email support I have always had enough ways to get through to them! Their support is good, honest and most importantly supportive. They helped us set up and start using the tool when we got stuck. Moving from Mailchimp where there were some semantic lessons to learn and they took the time to help us get used to 7Sheep
Read full review There is always somebody available for help. Their answers and tips are on spot, or when they don't know the answer they will make sure to get the answer somewhere. Everybody is always checking if I got my answer or if my problem solved. I really appreciate that. Thank you!

Read full review Alternatives Considered I've mostly used survey monkey and google forms and doodle for small inexpensive jobs - anything more sophisticated always seemed to cost more than the actual fee I charge. 7sheep does everything they do, but it automates a lot of the processing, for a cost which is affordable and makes me more efficient - as I can use my subscription for different clients.
Read full review Bloomreach is far superior than SFMC as that platform requires too much technical knowledge.
Ometria is very good and I would say is quite similar to Bloomreach although I would say
Ometria is a smaller company.
Dotdigital is also very powerful but not more so than Bloomreach. This being said,
Dotdigital and HubSpot does have telephone support which is amazing and something I would like to see from Bloomreach in future or at least shorter wait times for customer support live chat.
Read full review Scalability there is an option of multiple projects per organisation, customers and assets can be copied across. Multiple sites can be managed in one project, different activities organized under initiatives. Splitting work into sensible units is therefore well possible. The billing is based on number of tracked and number of stored events, no package-based deals. It should therefore be well scalable from a small e-store to a large corporation.
Read full review Return on Investment With the translation support we have translated forms into Spanish for our producers and this has been a really positive benefit for them as a partner. I am able to monitor interest in different products very easily and so re-target particular varieties to specific regions. Text message campaigns mean that we can directly engage: especially for physical meetings, tasting reminders and so forth. Read full review Emails, banners, and weblayers brought us an increase in conversion and additional profit. From a marketers perspective, it allows us to reach far and wide and see how well a campaign is doing in real-time. Knowing the customer allows improved communication and personalize our recommendations. Bloomreach Engagement has created revenue uplift with acquisition and conversion. The most effective tool out there when ROI is in question. Read full review ScreenShots Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud Screenshots
