I found Mailchimp very helpful by helping us in connecting with social media immediately also helps us in building newsletters.
It is well known as a fantastic analysis tool. It keeps people aware of the current circumstances and prevents their inbox from excessive spamming.
Mailchimp is the most sophisticated tool for sending newsletters.
It is playing a significant role for marketing our events.

Cons

Over the past 6 years the feature set has not significantly expanded
Integrations with 3rd party apps (DropBox, Google Drive, Slack) is either through 3rd party plugins or rudimentary at best
Frequent interface upgrades and complicated permissions settings makes getting new employees up to speed fiddly in some cases

The platform does not have a tool specifically created for the identification of those users who keep anti-spam filters in their email inboxes, to avoid sending and be able to focus the resources that would be wasted on informing another potential customer.
Mailchimp is not sufficiently updated to work with connections to online Ads and social networks without the platform freezing, and in the case of the internal ad editor, it does not allow to import the information from the source pages of these ads, so that it is not necessary to transcribe it.
Even though there are many templates oriented to the creation and subsequent sending of postcards, most of the models included for these postcards do not meet the sufficient visual quality to be included in the campaign uniformly with the rest of the components of the campaign.

I am confident that Atlassian can come with additional and innovative macros and functions to add value to Confluence. In 6 months, Atlassian transformed a good collaborative tools into a more comprehensive system that can help manage projects and processes, as well as "talk" with other Atlassian products like Jira. We are in fact learning more about Jira to evaluate a possible fit to complement our tool box.

Usability

Confluence 8.5

Based on 11 answers

Confluence can - and in my personal opinion, it will - be a bit hard to use in the first moment. Atlassian is a great company and is eager to help you with any question you have, though. The interface seems to be a bit clumsy at first but the customization options are enough to make it easier and simpler. In general, Confluence is easy to use when you understand what each section does, but this can take a while.

Mailchimp 8.6

Based on 231 answers

I gave 9 out of 10 to Mailchimp because Mailchimp is one of the best platforms for basic to medium Email marketing business and as well as they provide the very best deliverability ratio than other platforms. Mailchimp's price is quite higher but their features are pretty good and very effective for email marketing business and for CRM as compare to their price plans.

I have, in the 4+ years that I've used Mailchimp, never seen an issue that restricted the use of their software/tools. I don't know of a single time when they're system crashed or went down. I could be wrong, but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with outages, errors or unplanned downtime

Performance

Confluence 8.8

Based on 9 answers

Pages load very quickly, which makes it useful for quickly obtaining information. The search functionality is also very quick and is able to parse through all of the documents to provide the most relevant results for the query. Other information based software gets bogged down, but so far Atlassian Confluence maintains its performance.

I haven't noticed any slow speeds from Mailchimp or their tools. I think the landing pages load quickly and look nice. The email reports and editing operates smoothly and doesn't take time to load. Additionally, when I use Mailchimp in conjunction with Zapier + Hubspot I don't notice any drag between any of these tools

Support Rating

Confluence 8.3

Based on 44 answers

This rating is specifically for Atlassian's self-help documentation on their website. Often times, it is not robust enough to cover a complex usage of one of their features. Frequently, you can find an answer on the web, but not from Atlassian. Instead, it is usually at a power user group elsewhere on the net.

The customer support clients really know about their tool and they were able to help my with all of my questions and problems, which over the years were quite a few. They're even motivated enough to drop a funny line here and there which perfectly matches their corporate language on the website.

It's pretty easy to get up and running! There's a slight learning curve on a few things, but once you find where everything is located, you can import your list and send your first email. It really makes our clients feel great to see how quickly they can get that first email out.

Alternatives Considered

[Atlassian] Confluence is backed by direct, and superior support from Atlassian versus their vendors. For end users, [Atlassian] Confluence provides way more options for layout and content, while also being simpler and easier to use. Most other tools also require a higher level of interaction with IT or global administrators. With confluence, both content creators and consumers can draft an consume content with a much smoother, more intuitive experience.

One of the main differences that stand out between Mailchimp and Constant Contact is that Mailchimp allows me to have unlimited storage for images, which helps me to be able to insert any image at any time for my advertising campaigns, while Constant Contact has a storage limit of images of only 2GB. In addition, Mailchimp has greater accuracy in the access control of advertising campaigns, which helps us to obtain real results from each campaign.

Mailchimp 9.3

Based on 4 answers

Mailchimp over the years I've used it has grown in leaps and bounds. They have added so many additional features than were previously available. They are truly an all-in-one marketing platform now.If you're a small operation and just want to add email to your marketing efforts, they're there for you. If you're a larger operation and want to start sending postcard advertisements, they can do that. If you'd good with that and want to kick up your marketing by going social, you can do that on their platform. They are truly able to be as small as you need, but also get quite large in whatever it is you'd like to do through their system.

Return on Investment

Confluence has increased cross-departmental visibility into content, activities, and projects
Confluence has also increased collaboration across teams
The lack of a workflow has created a wild west environment where stakeholders are confused of where to create and find various types of content

The reporting helps you see what is working and what isn't so you stop wasting time if needed and redirect it to something that works.
There is a standard learning curve for teams to adopt Mailchimp and use it properly.
