    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.

    Suitable for ticketing that might also require routing to 'queues' and capturing communication timelines. Not as suitable for heavily credentials-management-type organizations or organizations that are not on the Microsoft stack. Also, not as suitable for organizations that have very high needs for knowledge base management or organizations that do not have resources or a partner to help extend the capabilities.

    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.

    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

    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's not as simple as some of the other offerings, but it is fairly intuitive. The design philosophy is a little more bloated, but it can be streamlined by customizing views and forms (pages) to be organized for end users. Once it is set up, though, assuming your UI choices and design are intuitive, it is simple for end users to use.

    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

    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.

    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 have worked with Oracle CRM On Demand earlier, mainly for case management and basic customer support workflows. Oracle CRM was stable and worked fine for standard use cases, but customization was limited and changes usually required more effort and time. Integrations with other systems were also not very flexible.
    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is much stronger in terms of flexibility and scalability. The biggest advantage is tight integration with the Microsoft ecosystem like Outlook, Teams, Power Automate, and Power Apps, which makes automation and productivity much better. Case management, SLAs, queues, and omnichannel features are more advanced and easier to configure.
