Likelihood to Recommend Brevo is an excellent email subscriber service provider for startups, small businesses, and budget-conscious users. BUT it's real strength is that as your business scales, so too does Brevo's services. As mentioned in my review, when compared to over-hyped, and super-expensive
AWeber , Brevo wins out in every singly department. Not every 1000, 10000, etc. sub list generates thousands in revenue. So why do other companies charge as if it's a large profitable corporation based on the sub number thresholds? Brevo is reasonably priced without sacrificing solid service. HIGHLY recommended.
Read full review JangoMail is only good for sending mass email and nothing more. While its interface is simple to use, it doesn't have a good amount of features attached to it. That probably explains why it's quite cheap compared to other mailing services. It's lacking features and additional functionalities. It's a cheap alternative mainly for sending mass email though, which is nice for a company that sells product to consumers like us.
Read full review Pros Sendinblue allows you to send emails that do not arrive in spam Sendinblue, through its security measures and filters, helps keep contact databases well organized and up to date Sendinblue offers an easy-to-use newsletter creation tool and, in case of lack of inspiration, many templates Read full review The platform is inexpensive. Their support people are very nice. Read full review Cons not easy to move/duplicate sections. much easier to just drag and drop. still working this out. don't like the logo or text included with the newsletter sign up form. have now upgraded, but think this should not be included for lower pricing plans not getting issues completely answered by support team. currently have an issue with email sign up not working on mobile. have been told it is not working, but not given any suggestions on how to fix this. have had unusual issue come up with a link. On 2 separate occasions, with 2 separate newsletters that went out, and 2 different images/articles/links, the link was wrong. Even though we checked it, previewed it and sent test email before we sent out these newsletters and these links were correct. It is the section at the bottom of our current newsletter. On both these occasions, when the customer has forwarded the email they received to us, the link was was to an old link - and it was the same old link on both occasions. We have asked for this to be looked into and are waiting on reply. We are going to try to delete this section this week and re-create. It is not a good look for us. We have another issue with how our newsletter is previewing in Outlook. The images and the text are not lining up - not on every section, but on 2 sections out of the 5 sections. Also, the Read Full Article text in the button is not showing properly. Again, not a professional look for us which we are not happy with. Read full review So far I haven't had any troubles, or problems with JangoMail. I'd love to just paste a WORD doc into the HTML window, but I am not going to risk having the links broken. So I preformat my copy with the long links and then insert them in the HTML window and make them look pretty. JangoMail's "add additional fields" in the into the body of the email is not very transparent, but when you add additional features and that depth of functionally then there is going to be a higher learning curve. I have not explored all of their tutorials.....and they have a great blog to explore also. This is not a big thing but maybe a clock could be installed to show that the email is being sent and that there is x amount of time until the "report" is ready to view. There is a no man's land time that as a user you are not sure if the mail got delivered or is being delivered.

Read full review It satisfied the basic purpose for which my company bought the license. No complaints there.
Read full review Usability I am a web designer and systems admin. I have not found anything with this system that was hard to use. Other systems make it hard to do simple tasks and is very limiting. SendinBlue doesn't limit you.
Read full review Reliability and Availability I have never had any planned outages in the time I have been using the software and have had no issues with accessing it.
Read full review Performance Everything loads very quickly, it saves as you go along so you're unlikely to loose work if your computer fails. Reports are there immediately too so you're able to act quickly on customer engagement.
Read full review Support Rating These people helped me identify errors when setting up DKIM and were more than helpful in trying to diagnose low open rates with a few campaigns identifying where improvement can be made and how to more effectively manage contact lists. The support is excellent.
Read full review Implementation Rating If you follow all the steps of the setup process they give you, any one can set this up in about 1 - 2 hours.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I selected Sendinblue because my users and customers don't speak and read English, so the french version of an email solution was the best way to answer them. Since 2017, I always recommended Sendinblue to my customers and partners, even if they use another solution, I convert them and never go back again.
Read full review I selected JangoMail because I wanted to try something new. Usually I find myself using YAMM which is Yet Another Mail Merge but using a new interface was refreshing and it was also very easy to learn and use. I would definitely use it again in the future and recommend to others
Read full review Scalability They have multiple options for upgrading bigger senders or if you need more emails sent in a month.
Read full review Return on Investment The ROI has been very positive - We have been able to bring the entire process in-house to the marketing department We are saving time and money by not involving outside contractors We save resources by not involving I.T. The amount of time we save by being able to create the email from concept to completion, all by one person, is astronomical. We save some cost by using the Sendinblue stock image options Read full review Sending mass mails so consumers can get an update on our newly released products Quite inexpensive so we don't have to break bank for this Lack of functionalities and features is a downside which caused more manual works Read full review ScreenShots
