I have used CommuniGator to implement a monthly newsletter that sends our latest updates to our opt-in base every month. As well as this, if anyone opts-in after this newsletter has been initiated/broadcasted the new opt-ins will also receive the latest newsletter too to ensure we are communicating with warm leads.

Litmus is well-suited for testing emails. It is a common challenge to know if your email will render correctly in all available email clients, and Litmus has a great library of renderings that you can check before sending your email back. I cannot think of a scenario where it would be less appropriate.

  • The comment and tagging ability - we're able to easily tag the correct person with the exact changes that are needed.
  • Makes the QA and approval process for email SO easy. The entire process is streamlined and efficient.
  • From a campaign manager perspective and the one QA'ing emails - there's truly zero learning curve. It's so easy to jump in and figure out how to manage and work, which is not always the case for software!

  • When creating a tracking code, I would like to see a button that says "Create New" without having to return to the main page.
  • When creating a tracking code, I would like to have no expiration option.
  • There is a little bit more personalization for the personalization content (being able to access the code HTML and not only the snippet).

It's one the best tools that we've found for this type of tool but we would like some additional features like spell check so if there's a platform that features that with everything else Litmus has, then we'd potentially look to move over to that platform instead. However, we are overall pretty help with the platform

Litmus has integrations that make the software an integrated part of my work every day. Being able to test right within my email builder is just brilliant. Daily I also use the web interface to review analytics and spam testing. Overall it is one of the pieces of software I use daily without any complaints or issues.

We have never had a problem with Litmus being unavailable so I would say their availability is fantastic. There might have been one time years ago that the site was down briefly but it also might have been a server issue on my end. Either way, Litmus was back up and running in a very short time

As with all technology, there are inevitably use-cases where you are unable to get to your original goal without some good old-fashioned experimenting. Some situations will (and are) more urgent which complicates an effective integration of a new process or a new team using an existing process but the "issues" are regularly resolved by re-starting the process specific to when Litmus is introduced to a project. If it doesn't come out the way you're anticipating, run it again and verify there is an issue before declaring all is lost

I didn’t really personally participate much in the implementation of Litmus, but from what I observed during the process, it was a smooth process with minimal disruptions. The team was able to get up and running quickly, and the platform’s user-friendly interface made onboarding fairly easy for everyone involved from the start.

I really like CommuniGator for the drag & drop interface in email building. I also really like the level of customer service with having a dedicated account manager but also the ability to live chat at any point and if this doesn't help, they are always happy to jump on to a video call so I feel very well supported. I also like how there are many products within one platform, lead nurturing, pop-ups, workflows, email, forms, social media management, etc...

This is not applicable to my role as I have used Litmus to test emails since I have started. Because of the ease of use, timeliness, consistent quality, and affordability that Litmus offers, I haven't found the need to look at similar products or organizations. If all of these features continue to stay strong, I don't plan on changing providers

With our enterprise account, scalability is not an issue. I have not yet seen or heard of significant issues with user access, API connections for integrations etc. This includes down time for "Scheduled Maintenance" as some providers call them, Litmus has the technology backing to support a global team with a 24-hour workday across regions

  • Because of Litmus, we were able to save ~5-7 hours per week per person on time coding and editing emails.
  • We actually use Everest for deliverability monitoring, but from poking around Litmus, it looks like there are some beneficial deliverability features that would help improve email pre-send.
