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.

I feel that this is a very good email marking system. You really can accomplish any task needed for your email marketing needs. I think that if a few key features were added, it would really take Lyris HQ over the top. We are very happy with this product and we tell our clients about it when they ask us.

Lyris HQ is a simple tool, but it is highly effective and , for smaller organizations, it can save a lot of time and money.

Implementation was one of the most painful parts for us as we had to find and create our own library to interface with Lyris's SOAP API interface which still to this day is one of the top libraries used in its language.

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...

  • More defined lists for third party blasts, which turns into more leads for the clients. Which is more money in our pocket.
  • Some segmentation pulls do take a long time, thus leading to multiple requests and a time suck for myself.
