    Sometimes creativity is lacking in me and that is where Cakemail comes in and saves the day. I am glad that I can receive creative help from this awesome brand. The pricing is very affordable, in my opinion. It makes this platform a no-brainer!

    Message Studio/Selligent is great for reliably sending high volumes of both manual and automated email. The intuitive user interface promotes fast turnaround times. Aside from some data integration issues, it's the best email service provider I've used for sending large volumes of email.

    • StrongMail does open and click tracking very well. The detailed level of data they provide is exceptional.

    Cons
    Cakemail
    • An external package – like PHP support – Cake's component doesn't have that.
    • I'd like to be able to view my user click rate and click frequency at the same time, to be able to compare it – they don't offer that.
    • There's always room for improvement – but what Cakemail does well, it does very, very well.

    I have used other email platforms before, but I think Cakemail is easier to use AND provides you with templates. For the other products I have tested out, you had to create your own templates from scratch. I like the ability to create from scratch, but on days where you lack the time or creativity, there are templates ready to go for you

    We did not evaluate other products exactly. We upgraded from an inferior production to StrongMail based on demos and other people's reviews.
