Braze is a customer engagement platform that enables relevant and memorable experiences between consumers and the brands they love. With Braze, global brands can ingest and process customer data in real time, orchestrate and optimize contextually relevant, cross-channel marketing campaigns and continuously evolve their customer engagement strategies.
Attentive and Salesforce are both more user friendly in our opinion, being easier to set up campaigns and review analytics after the campaign deploys successfully a few days later. We use Braze because it is our best option right now to integrate with our mobile apps for …
We chose Braze when vetting (against Klaviyo + Iterable, and coming from Ortto) because we felt it was the biggest level up for us. It allows us to own cross-channel messaging in one place and we felt like it was the only platform that was truly going to level up our Lifecycle …
I genuinely enjoy working with the Attentive platform due to its user-friendly design and the hands-on support provided by their team. Over the years, we've implemented various strategies to enhance our profile performance and have experienced remarkable growth through the use of AI Pro and the recommended customer journeys.
Overall Braze is a massive step up from our previous provider, and we've just scratched the surface of what's possible. So I know it can unlock a lot of channels and use cases for us that we were not able to deliver before. But I will say it's a steep learning curve, and not all components are intuitive, such as report builders, I'd like to see the outcome of the report I'm trying to build as I make it, so I know it's producing what I wanted
Flexible multi-channel campaign setup, whether for one-off sends or customer journeys. We have a lot of different ways we can control the setup of any individual campaign, enabling sophisticated use cases.
User-friendly UI makes it enjoyable for the teams working on the platform daily.
Good customer segmentation abilities are essential, especially if you're fully utilizing some of Braze's key features, such as native purchase events and catalogs.
Our CRM team does a lot of template tweaking on a regular basis, so they don’t want us to duplicate emails, in particular otherwise they might break. I wish there was an easy way to move over copy from one email template into another with the click of a button.
When sending push notifications we always use the same copy for Android and iOS users- it would be nice to have one input for copy instead of copy/pasting content from the Android field into the iOS field
The email templates do not allow Grammarly to apply edit suggestions to copy, which is unfortunate because I rely on Grammarly to ensure my copy is written well without error. Currently we have to copy/paste the content into a Google doc to make sure the copy is written well
We are on a mission for an omnichannel experience for our customers and are already making good progress with Braze able to fully support and optimise this
Good usability and it is easy to train new employees on the platform since it is so intuitive. Love playing around with the segmentation tools and seeing how it affects audience size for deployments. Overall, a great UI experience.
I would argue that Braze is not particularly easy-to-use. It doesn't behave like traditional CRMs (and even bills itself as a CEP, to further this distinction). Once you understand Braze's ecosystem, it's very straightforward and user friendly, but I would say there is a steep early learning curve and Braze's educational resources leave a lot to be desired.
Fast and easy to communicate with. I wish we went over more insights and analytics on our monthly calls with our account manger. This would really give us the push that we need in order to best utilize the platform as a whole.
Very responsive and helpful on simple questions, but not great other than that. They do not have a way for the customer/user to escalate a ticket. You have to contact your rep and in some cases, they don't respond within 24 hours so you have no idea if they have escalated it. There is no phone number for an urgent issue - you have to rely on email
While ManyChat is specific to Facebook Messenger, my experience in their platform made it very easy to hit the ground running with Attentive Mobile. With the policy changes in the Messenger world, we have mostly abandoned that and moved to SMS for a direct line to customers. Attentive Mobile has much stronger ROAS with SMS than ManyChat had with Facebook Messenger.
Braze and Iterable stood out as the best two customer engagement tools for us, but the level of support and out-of-the-box features offered by Braze pipped them slightly ahead of the competition. Overall, they showed the tool as the best solution we needed, specifically to our requirements.
