Emarsys is a customer engagement platform that allows users to automate personalized campaigns across channels, based on each individual consumer’s behavior. The suite's capabilities include marketing automation, email marketing, customer engagement, customer intelligence and predictive recommendations. Emarsys is now part of SAP, since the December 2020 acquisition.
It's a first-in-class deployment multi-channel platform and is constantly being developed with new features. We can accomplish nearly all of our goals with what Braze has to offer, and it's also an enjoyable UI for our teams. The Account Exec and Customer Success Manager we have are very engaged with us, which has enabled us to push the envelope farther and farther with how much value we extract from Braze.
Emarsys is well suited for any company with an established list of contacts and an interest in email marketing. It's easy to manage, scalable, and has plenty of customization features to make your emails your own. If you're ever stuck, the responsive customer service team will help you out. I recommend Emarsys for medium to large size companies.
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
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.
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
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.
Emarsys is the email specialist service giver for our whole association. We use it to send custom and mass messages to our clients across three distinct business divisions. Email advertising is one of our greatest income driving channels due to focusing on limitations from deals regions. We can arrive at our clients through email with pertinent data and advancements, all driving income for the business. I have not used any other product marketing automation services.

Positive: A growth hacking experiment was proven successful in nudging users whose credit card failed when trying to upgrade to a paid account.
Negative: With the plethora of teams (disciplines / business units / markets) with access to braze, it's easy to accidentally over-nurture users.
From proficient and fast information assortment and converging to changing crude data into significant experiences, Emarsys gives you an answer that allows you to associate with your clients at an extremely close to home level and utilize that to additionally develop your business.
