7Sheep vs Cordial | TrustRadius

Likelihood to Recommend

I think 7Sheep is especially important for organizations who need flexibility in translating and adapting their communications for an international target group. Being able to send out mailings and set forms up in multiple languages is very useful and in some cases necessary. Also, 7Sheep is great if you want to track how people are responding to your mailings. For example, do they open the mailings? If so, what do they click?

Cordial has multiple options to create a message: single campaign, automation, orchestration and sculpt templates, which are drag-and-drop type functionalities but each of these blocks are based on HTML content so a user needs to be technically savvy. I would avoid using HTML includes as it is not possible to see which include a customer received. The team is fabulous, they know the tool and are dedicated to the success of the business. They are quick to respond and provide feedback. Reporting and analytics are very manual if you are combining multiple days in a test.

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.

Cons

It would be useful if some standard email templates were available.
They could find a way to make the form questions easier/quicker to reorder.
I would like to be able to change user roles so that only certain people could see certain contact lists.

Unreliable toggle between production and stage environment. Says it is in "Stage" when you are really in "production" and vice versa.
Non-intuitive process/interface to search for "contact data".
Poor process for getting Stage drafts into Production drafts. You essentially have to rebuild them which can introduce errors, rather than just an "export" feature that would move a draft automatically.
Message reports will add/remove days when you select a time range and export a report. For example, if your custom date range is "March 1 - March 31" you will get something like "March 2- March 30" in your exported report. You have to overcompensate by using a range like "February 28 - April 1".

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

We've certainly seen value-for-money - including moving from a free service such as MailChimp.
As we are in beta quantifying monetary value is not yet possible with sales.
We can nurture data more easily than with tools we were using before
Increased efficiency as leads stay up to date
