    Well-Suited for: 1. Mobile App Notifications: Ideal for targeted push notifications in apps. 2. Customer Segmentation: Effective for personalized marketing campaigns based on user data. 3. Event-Triggered Automation: Great for automated messaging based on user actions. 4. A/B Testing: Useful for optimizing campaign messages and strategies. Less Appropriate for: 1. Non-Mobile Channels: Less effective if the primary focus is on non-mobile communications like email or direct mail. 2. Basic Email Marketing: Other platforms might be better suited for simple, broad email campaigns without complex segmentation or personalization needs.

    Pros
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The marketing push notifications are very effective, and it gives us free hand to define different business criteria to target user groups
    • The user experience or the message content could differ from Android and iOS, and this is a huge benefit for us
    • As an Architect, troubleshooting an issue is very detailed and the time it takes to troubleshoot an issue is considerably less from our previous product

    Cons
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The automated A/B testing winner selection and application should be added
    • The flexibility of message shape, specifically incorporating transparency so messages do not need to be a rectangular shape
    • Faster and more reliable servers around the globe
    • Making more detailed use cases and tutorials to be followed can simplify things for users

    Usability
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    The interface takes a bit getting used to in order to know how to take advantage of everything. Some of the analytics that are available are particularly hard to find, so it's important to pay attention when customer support reviews everything, but everything I'd want and need in terms of Push and In-App messaging is all there.

    Support Rating
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    I have not had to interact much with customer support as I have been able to find the vast majority of the answers I'm looking for within their documentation, which I very much appreciate because it saves me a lot of time. Customer support has been responsive and helpful for the most part during the couple of interactions I've had.

    We've tested a bunch of different CRM tools over the years and Airship has been a winner for its functionality, features, cost, and ability to integrate with other softwares that we use. It has been great for SMS and mobile in particular. It could certainly be a one stop shop for CRM.

    It has the inability to export subject line or ISP complaints that require manual pulling by each campaign when needed. Results from variable tests are also reported only as a percentage of chosen KPI (opens, clicks, etc.). There's no ability to see hard numbers from the tests or other metrics to determine the statistical significance or unintended results (maybe opens increased per the test, but we saw clicks or conversions were lower). On the other hand, Bound performs absolutely great.

    Return on Investment
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The ROI has increased more than approx. 50% (exact details to be confirmed) based on cross-channel orchestration
    • Using push notifications alone, we have seen a huge increase in app engagement which was a challenge before to nudge users to get back to the App after initial download

    • We have seen more traffic going to revenue generating sites after using Get Smart Content. I'm not sure of the dollar amount since that's a separate department, but traffic increasing is great.
    • Engagement on our internal site has increased after implementing Get Smart Content. We are getting more views, comments and likes on our content than before.
