Considered Both Products	Campaign Monitor by Marigold ME Momen Eldyrani SF Admin Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor is a lot easier to pick up in comparison to Marketing cloud where I believe you need a Marketing Cloud specialist to dedicate themselves to the platform. I am a Salesforce Admin, and majority of the time, the Marketing team would need my assistance to help … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold To be honest I haven't tried the competition because they seemed to be very good. I am sure the product is excellent - it's the support I am unhappy with. If support was better I would be more comfortable with them - but I cannot recommend a product where you can't 100% trust … Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor is better than the competition because the design editor works better than any other program I've used in the past such as Mailchimp and Constant Contact.

John Silva, MBA Marketing Automation Strategist Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor is much easier to use to create marvelous emails based on their templates. Their collection of templates is impressive. It's all drag and drop. Super easy! Also it offers a much more robust platform than Mailchimp for automation features, like building segments … Incentivized Helpful? Taylor Johnston Digital Marketing Lead Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor isn't as fun to use as Mailchimp and doesn't have as many features, but the email builder is better if that's what's important to you. HubSpot's email builder is less reliable but more flexible, and it comes with way more automation/workflow options, better … Incentivized Helpful? BB Beau Baumbach Marketing Strategist Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor, in my opinion, is much better than Mailchimp and Constant Contact because of their ability to protect end-users from spammy emails. Constant Contact and Mailchimp essentially let you send whatever you'd like with no regard to the end-user. Campaign Monitor … Incentivized Helpful? DS David Sedillo Communications and Marketing Specialist Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Not as comprehensive as other email marketing platforms, and not as competitive when it comes to pricing for entry-level users. It does have advantages in the easy to use drag-and-drop editor, but not enough to truly stand out from the competition. Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Mitchell Paid Search (PPC) Analyst \| Email Marketing Specialist Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Again, this platform is best used when combined with other platforms. Businesses and/or agencies that have a separate template builder or dedicated designer will likely have a better experience with this platform. Incentivized Helpful? Quentin Aisbett Digital Strategist Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Ease of use is a priority for us because when we recommend a solution, we want it to be intuitive for our clients. For this reason, Campaign Monitor was preferred over providers such as AWeber and Constant Contact. MailChimp is the other that we find comparable to Campaign … Incentivized Helpful? Nick Wynkoop Founder Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold MailChimp and ConstantContact try to do too much and do it very poorly. They are slow, clunky, and ugly. They cater to simple users instead of giving pros the tools they need. Convert kit is only good for bloggers or people selling ebooks, but I have used Campaign Monitor for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Campaign Monitor is at the bottom of the list. Our department had selected the service prior to my employment. Incentivized Helpful? Becca Sangwin Marketing Director Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold We moved from MailChimp to Campaign Monitor because we thought it was a step up. The automation, targeting, and testing with Campaign Monitor is more advanced than what MailChimp had to offer.

David Nero Chief Information Officer Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Much more flexible and easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold I have tried both MailChimp and Constant Contact. Constant Contact required a lot of custom work just to get it to do what I needed. MailChimp was a bit too aggressive with their lists, and I would get frequent bounces from addresses that I knew were valid. It was very … Incentivized Helpful? Marios Prapopoulos Founder Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold We preferred the Campaign Monitor interface. MailerLite was slow in list management and so was MailChimp.

Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas De Salvo Founder, Creative Director Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold We use a variety of products in this space for all kinds of purposes.

Every product they offer is … Incentivized Helpful? Chris Williams Director of Marketing Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold I have used all of the competitors of Campaign Monitor, and I would say it stacks up well with any of them. They all have their own various features that set them apart from their competitors. I personally like the visual workflow builder of AutoPliot, but I like the email … Incentivized Helpful? Billie-Ann Woo Marketing Lead Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold I haven't used Constant Contact in ages. Couldn't tell you right now how it compares as email marketing tools get updated so frequently. That's a great thing about this platform and stream of technology - it changes so much. If you are thinking of evaluating tools, it's best to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold Once templates are set up, Campaign Monitor seems to be easier to use for novices than either MailChimp or Vertical Response.

Tara Robertson VP of Marketing Chose Campaign Monitor by Marigold I think campaign monitor is easier to use on the agency level as well as from a dashboard.

	Campaign Monitor by Marigold
Likelihood to Recommend	Marigold Campaign Monitor is undoubtedly one of the best software for managing email marketing campaigns; it is a robust platform and can be adapted to any company. If you are not a developer and don't know any code, it has many pre-made templates to use. I highly recommend Campaign Monitor; it is perfect, does what needs to be done, and is very easy to use. Incentivized Korey Migdal Director of People Ops Read full review
Pros	Marigold Campaign Monitor’s support is great. They have a great help page built out to help answer all your questions, and if you do have a question or issue that needs extra support, their support team responds within a couple hours to help resolve the issue. The email builder is very clean and easy to use. It makes A/B testing, personalization, and dynamic content easy to implement. I appreciate the insights reporting that Campaign Monitor provides. We use that regularly for our quarterly reporting to track list growth, as well as campaign performance from a high level. The automation is very straight forward and has truly transformed our marketing. The learning curve is pretty low, so my entire team knows how to use it to create and edit automated email journeys. Incentivized Becca Sangwin Marketing Director Read full review
Cons	Marigold Managing different subscriptions requires some thinking and setup with custom fields/lists/segments. It's not really 'out of the box' to set up. The WYSIWYG editor is pretty locked down, which makes it idiot-proof, but would be great to have a little more control over padding, line height, kerning, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Marigold The templates, while useful, are very locked down, This makes it very usable from a novice's standpoint, but also very inflexible from a designer's standpoint. Creating several version of the email campaign and using A/B testing was a powerful and easy-to-use feature, and the system also provides the option of automating the sending of emails once an A/B testing criteria is reached Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Marigold The ability to track the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns in real-time is what makes Campaign Monitor interesting to use. All the vital features that we need to run professionally designed email campaigns that look wonderful on any device so that we boost our business are included in this platform.

Return on Investment	Marigold Because it's easy to use, we can design and send out newsletters easily and quickly, spending little time. It's a great tool for aggregating all of the things our organization is up to and making sure people are aware of them. Sometimes I wonder how many emails are sent to the Spam folder, but there are great tools to see how many opens you get. Incentivized Sarah Bandy Executive Director Read full review
