    Considered Multiple Products
    Braze
    Chose Braze
    Roughly the same as Marketo wrt to ease of use, functionality. Marketo was a bit more flexible in segmentation logic which helped the HEMS business.

    Salesforce was the weakest of the three - an old email platform bolted onto a newer messaging platform. Some functionality …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    I am not a CRM, mobile-CRM, or lifecycle marketing technology expert.

    Braze is distinct from the other tools I have used due to the SDK integration and feature set specifically suited for mobile app product-led companies like mine.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze offers stronger tutorials and more flexible personalization and targeting options compared to other platforms I’ve used. While other tools included some of the same features, they were harder to learn because of limited tutorials or confusing UX/UI. Many of them also used …

    Chose Braze
    Braze allows for a better ROI on emails sent and a better package of capabilities than what we were using with Mailchimp
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze is a cross-channel and data-driven tool. It is much more intuitive and easier to use. It supports a high volume of sending. Braze team provides excellent follow-up and support, and we are part of a large community of clients who share knowledge and help.

    blows Salesforce out of the water way more user friendly and much easier to learn
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze offers increased automation and data integration with better customer support and management than the likes of Saleforce. The features available in Braze far outreach that of Twilio SendGrid, which we used as a basic email comms platform rather than full CEP. eInsight CRM …

    Chose Braze
    Usability, efficiency, and reliability are what we looked for….and Braze was the platform that most impressed our leadership and email staff.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze is an organization fit given the nature of the business, But Salesforce Marketing Cloud could also be very useful, it just require a lot more enablement.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Salesforce Marketing Cloud is very expensive, and its UI is not as easy to understand as compared to Braze. Braze's UI/UX is very eye-catching and easy to navigate through with plenty of helpful materials available.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    I would say Braze is far better in creaitng detailed and intelligent marketing journeys than any of the products I have mentioned. Intercom is primarily a support channel and so wasn't suitable for my use case, having limited features and requiring workarounds. Mailchimp is …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    More flexible, some rules were before on the tech team side and now with Braze, those rules can be changed without having to ask de tech team - we are more autonomous! Better channel orchestration and more available channels.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Easier than the big ones and more robust and than the small ones. Braze seems to be a great fit for teams that need to move fast, cannot spend a lot of time in certifications and training and are able to adapt to innovation. As for pricing, Braze has different pricing depending …

    Chose Braze
    Braze is easy to use and offers excellent modern functionalities, making it ideal for contemporary marketing. The training support and implementation support provided by Braze are also good. In terms of mobile-friendly email creation and personalisation, Braze has stood out. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Unlike MailChimp, Braze goes beyond just email and SMS as communication channels. With communication channels like push notification, in-app message, and content card, Braze is clearly a superior platform for customer engagement. Also, Braze offers more options for dynamic …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    I think Braze is best for app-first companies. We selected Braze for its ease of use and robust feature suite.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Mailchimp is fine for bulk email and some light automation, but it still centers on email; push or in-app support feels tacked on, and new segments update only after hours. Braze gives us email, push, SMS, in-app, and web all native, with data streaming in real time, so …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    I wasn't part of the decision-making process for selecting Braze, since I joined the company after Braze was already "integrated" with our company. I'd still say that Braze would me my 1st choice compared to other tools that I used in the past.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze is by far the most user friendly tool. The frequency and usability of the super regular product releases they roll out really sets them apart in a stale marketplace historically dominated by Salesforce, Adobe and other big players. They think App first - critical in the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    It was more complicated on Salesforce to create personalized and customized campaigns. Braze is a platform that has it all.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Feels less clunky, easier to navigate, equally stacked on features that matter. May have some ways of working that are different from peer solutions, but trades speed and reliance over inefficiently designed or risky solutions.
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Salesforce is better suited for the sales funnnel or for B2B rather than B2C so in this case Braze already stacks up great as a wonderful B2C all-rounder product. Mailchimp, Firebase and others ive used are gragmented as they all offer different features and are not a ONE …
    Incentivized
    Chose Braze
    Braze is much more real-time, has an updated interface, and offers in-app communication, unlike SFMC. The only downside is that Liquid isn't quite as powerful as AMPscript.

    Intuit

    I chose Intuit Mailchimp over Campaign Monitor as it had, in my opinion, a better interface and UX. I then left it to go to Audience Republic as they promised us the world with integration with ticketing outlets. After they failed to deliver for us, I then left for because Braze…

    I have used a lot of email marketing tools over the years and Intuit Mailchimp is one that I keep going back to, it simple and easy to use, no messing around and it does what it says one tin.

    The free plan of Mailchimp works well for middle and small scale businesses. It offers a rich library of email templates and powerful analytics to support the lead generation and brand awareness initiatives of the organization. Customization of templates is a piece of cake …

    Used a few other platforms that perform the same tasks as Mailchimp. These platforms, while are much more robust than Mailchimp, have a much steeper learning curve. Yesmail and Adobe Campaign have alot more to offer that would work great for teams that need more automation and …

    Design and user interface and functionality.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Constant Contact is antiquated and clunky. Pardot is a huge solution and tied to Salesforce so it’s not aimed at the same user audience. I think Mailchimp is generally just easier to use and costs less than the alternatives on the market currently.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp was usually already in place and needed to be set up for growth. In general, I found that the lack of phone support at the lower tiers and the rigidness for opt-in rules made working with it long term not that easy.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    As I mentioned earlier, Mailchimp is a great entry point for small businesses that are looking to target their customer and contact list with segmented email marketing. It is easy enough to use and the price is usually right for the return that is possible when used correctly. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp focuses on email and they do a good job overall compared to the competition. The platform is easy to use and makes sending emails a breeze. If you need something more robust then I would recommend Marketo as you can do anything you can imagine. However, you will need …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp is what I inherited from my predecessor in the marketing department. It is more specialized into email marketing than Pardot or Marketo (though both have other benefits that make them really stick out for overall marketing automation), and is vaguely less expensive. Ye…

    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp has a simpler, easier to use interface for those with less technical expertise.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp is not for large organizations with complicated campaigns and conversion labels. It's for simple companies - I wouldn't advise communications teams to use it.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp can compete with and often beat other similarly priced email marketing platforms. It's great for the average user and easy to learn.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Constant Contact is nowhere near as simple to use and intuitive as Mailchimp. The processes for storing information are more difficult and there’s not as much customization functionality.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    Mailchimp has fast and helpful customer service as compared to these competitors. While the feature set might be more limited, the price is significantly less. I have also found the platform to be much more intuitive.
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    MailChimp is fairly simple in functionality compared to competitors. Pardot was something I used for a B2B Saas company I worked for. Drip is what I used for eCommerce. Both are preferred in my current situations. I don't think I would recommend either over MailChimp for a …
    Incentivized
    Chose Intuit Mailchimp
    We selected MailChimp over these competitors for the following reasons:
    1. Price
      We're small, so pricing is very important to us.
    Salesforce
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    I think that all of the marketing platforms I have evaluated and used in the past serve different markets and purposes. Salesforce Marketing Cloud was more palatable to our team because of our existing tech stack where we had Salesforce CRM already deployed and in use. Compared …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    Mailchimp is great for simple email use. It's straightforward and great for beginners in the email space. It does not offer nearly as much in the way of complexity as Salesforce Marketing Cloud does, so is limited with what it can do. Salesforce Marketing Cloud is much more …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    I prefer Salesforce Marketing Cloud over Mailchimp.

    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    My previous organization used Pardot and also Mailchimp. Salesforce Marketing Cloud is more powerful than both of those tools and integrates more deeply with Salesforce CRM.
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    Pardot offers equal or better performance when compared to other industry leaders. It's as user-friendly as Emma and Mailchimp and outpaces others like Blackbaud Luminate. The WYSIWYG (like all other email platforms) has some quirks to navigate around, but it's generally easy …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    I MUCH prefer Pardot to Mailchimp and Mailjet. It feels more like a professional product and behaves as such with a more advanced feature set and customizability. For instance, I have not found a good way in either of the competing products to do branded preference center …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    We use Mailchimp for email campaigns that are not sales-specific, i.e., press releases. While Mailchimp is good for tracking opens, click-throughs, embedding photos, embedding videos, etc., Pardot works best when integrated both with Google Analytics as well as Salesforce. It …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    Pardot out-ranks the competition in regards to the integration with Salesforce. It is hard to beat the ability to use your already-made customer profiles and contact information in your marketing campaigns. Where it is lacking is the usability. MailChimp is a much more user …
    Incentivized
    Chose Agentforce Marketing
    My previous company was using MailChimp because we did not have the data volume needed for deep integrations. I would say that MailChimp’s interface is considerably more user friendly. Templates are better (and often used by Pardot if you view the source html code) and are less …

    Pardot is far better, but used basic level with MailChimp. Prefer MailChimp's email design capabilities.

    Pardot is a player in that it is one of the older products on the forefront of email marketing. This is good and bad in that it has been established but bad in that it isn't as robust as some of the other products on the market. Adobe can be good but is new to the market and …

    As a user of Infusionsoft and SharpSpring, I wouldn't say that Pardot is the best. Infusionsoft is better overall. Pardot is used by one client of ours. Pardot's lack of good email builder is what puts it lower on the totem pole. It is a bit stronger with reporting and …

    If you're looking for a reliable, automated system to run customer feedback programme like the NPS, Braze offers possibly the best platform to operate such kind of a campaign. In addition, if you are looking to build email campaigns for existing clients with the goal of retention or relationship-building, Braze offers much better email delivery and engagement rates.

    Mailchimp is fairly easy to onboard, even for those who would consider themselves less technologically inclined. It can be as simple as plug-and-play for simpler campaigns or scale up as needed. It also makes it easy to build, send out for internal review and feedback, and track all the needed changes.

    I think the product, by definition, is meant for marketing — and we use it exactly for that, for running campaigns. That’s the best-suited use case for the product. I don’t think it’s really meant to be used for anything else — that’s just not how it’s designed.

    Pros
    Braze
    • Canvas feature has been really good for creating customer journey paths and long-term messaging campaigns.
    • They have been addressing feature requests to continue to improve the Canvas feature. One of the simplest but most-handy features is allowing Delay steps wait for a very specific date on a calendar -- so you can plan seasonal campaigns or when you have evergreen-style drip campaigns it allows for avoiding public holidays/etc.
    • The catalog feature provides a lot of use-cases and flexibility for personalizing comms or customizing comms for whitelabeled versions of our standard comms (for our B2B2C scenarios).
    • We use the catalog as a repository of our B2B2C brand info, messaging customization - it basically allows us to offer a whitelabeled configurable version of our optimized automated in-life comms in the branding of our b2b customers.

    • Mailchimp allows you to manage your mailing list really well. You can subscribe people, unsubscribe people manage the mailing list directly into segments, and what not.
    • Mailchimp has features where you can create campaigns based on your mailing lists and send out newsletters to your subscribers based on a multitude of parameters that you can setup. Such as send email daily, weekly, monthly and they also have event based mails that you can send out.
    • Mailchimp also has a feature where you can design your emails. The look and aesthetics are very important when sending emails to your subscribers and all those needs are addressed here.

    Cons
    Braze
    • Enabling GIF/videos to be directly uploaded on to Braze's platform
    • Easier way of creating canvases; right now it is too complex for someone new who is starting off in the company to understand what things do and where things are
    • Ability to track duplicate user profiles within the entire audience segment
    • Automated deduplicating email addresses/phone numbers in each targeting segment; right now it's done manually after extracting csv files

    • The pricing tiers do scale quickly so if you have a free newsletter it may get expensive
    • The pricing is based on total emails so if you have users who you only email rarely it might not make sense to use Intuit Mailchimp
    • Customer support can be a bit lacking at times and their docs aren't always the best

    • The email builder does not offer any way to catch/check bugs across different email service providers
    • Creating SQL is not as easy as drag-and-drop; a lot of technical knowledge is required
    • Salesforce Marketing Cloud is sold as a marketing tool, but to be honest, you need a LOT of technical IT support to run the tool
    • Einstein metrics are across the board; if you have multiple audiences in one instance of Salesforce Marketing Cloud you can't segment the data.

    We've had Mailchimp for about ten years, I want to say. I started with the company about four years ago, and I don't see us ever diverting to another source. It's easy for us to use, and we have all our clients already built into the database. I imagine we'll use them for as long as we have the company.

    As of right now we have not seen any other program that integrates as seamlessly into our Salesforce platform. We have barely scratched the surface of all the features and use cases. It would be irresponsible to make a move to another platform in the near future. We have not come up against any limitations that would prompt a need to switch

    Usability
    Braze
    From my experience thus far, Braze is able to deeply integrate into a variety of tools and I haven't found a use case where Braze cannot offer a solution to an integration requirement. Integrations have been very easy to setup and developers have been able to manage and upgrade these seamlessly.

    It is easy, but some things you need to learn from their resources. Mailchimp is one of the most popular email marketing platforms because it combines email marketing, automation, audience management, and analytics into a single tool that's easy to use and scale. Simple solutions and drag-and-drop edits make it easy.

    You won't find another solution that has as many features as Salesforce Marketing Cloud Interaction Studio. We all know Salesforce, we all know how big they are and it's not for nothing... Their tools do most of the things you want, need and even imagine. Using it is complicated, but the usability is infinite.

    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

    Upgrades and timing of the upgrades were communicated well and planned during off hours for our work. If we did have a campaign scheduled during that time, it would kick-off after the system was back active. There were a few unplanned system down times, but it was a rare occurrence and those times were also short in duration.

    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

    Though the make up of MA apps is not built this way today, it would be nice to see them become more real-time. The integration between Salesforce and Pardot is not a true real-time integration. If I modify something in Salesforce, those changes are not automatically reflected in Pardot immediately. There is a delay of about 15 minutes before the systems sync. This delay, although not long, is less than ideal We would love the systems to be integrated real time such that changes are propagated from one system to the other immediately.

    Braze
    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

    Website tools were easy to use and understand so a novice can easily meet or exceed their client's expectations! Loved that we were able to totally customize so that the e-mail we created conveyed our client's overall messaging consistent with their branding! Client love that we can provide turnkey services to support their sales and marketing teams!

    They are really responsive and more than not solve the problem or give you insight to how you can manage the solution yourself. I do find however sometimes a long delay on the more complex issues when they need to loop in other departments. but overall a good experience with support

    The trainers at the Pardot user conference (Elevate and Connections) were very knowledgeable and presented the material well. Again, the content was targeted to more of a new user audience, and was not really relevant for folks who had been using the product for 2+ years.

    It's really well explained, there are lots of documentation about all topics. When we want to perform in a specific area, there are always a dedicated path. For each new feature, there is always some videos explaining the purpose and the new functionalities. Also I used to do the certification which allows me to show my achievements in my business environment.

    Pardot's online training touches on all topics briefly and vaguely without much indepth exploration into how a final outcome could look, such as Nurturing Campaigns, Email templates, landing page templates, etc... The only true way to uncover Pardot's full capabilities is to have Front End design and coding experience. Without this key skill set, I would not recommend Pardot to another business.

    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.

    From an IT perspective, once you set up the Javascript beacon and start collecting data there is a waiting game. During this time you can start labeling your site actions which can be labor intensive for a single person, but you don't really have the final end-users on the platform yet. We did a lot of training so users were experienced, but it wasn't until they had their first tasks to accomplish that they started using the system and had questions. I'd recommend setting up some immediate goals for an end-user to start segmenting for the purpose of displaying message campaigns so you can jump start end-user action.

    Braze is a cross-channel and data-driven tool. It is much more intuitive and easier to use. It supports a high volume of sending. Braze team provides excellent follow-up and support, and we are part of a large community of clients who share knowledge and help.

    I used Intuit Mailchimp, and I would say other software I used is equally good and competes with Intuit Mailchimp. Well, Intuit Mailchimp's reporting is better, and ActiveCampaign has more affordable pricing, so in the end, it all comes to what you need. What we needed was available in cheaper price in other software as well. But I would definitely say Intuit Mailchimp has its own advantages too.

    We use Salesforce Marketing Cloud for lead management, generating reports, tracking customer and dealer information, inputting orders, and more. I prefer HubSpot for email marketing and automation because it is easier to use and the emails are designed much better. We currently use Salesforce and HubSpot, and we are very happy to have both, as they have different pros/cons.

    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.

    Prior to this, we had no solution and literally were doing things on paper in a world where technology is outpacing paper. Having this process optimized has made it easier for the sales and marketing people to change information. From the training perspective, it has allowed us to see holes in where we could create additional support training, so the ROI here has been a lot more than just the optimization of a process.

    • One of my retail web store clients was sending out email specials and notices about once a month. After clicking the send button, we would watch Google Analytics and the current site users would light up immediately. Often, the current site visitors would pop up to 20, 30 or more after the email was sent. On a normal day, seeing 1 or 2 online users would be OK.
    • Pretty much in all cases, we could see an uptick in positive activity after sending out a Intuit Mailchimp email to a list.
