    Cordial
    Cordial has multiple options to create a message: single campaign, automation, orchestration and sculpt templates, which are drag-and-drop type functionalities but each of these blocks are based on HTML content so a user needs to be technically savvy. I would avoid using HTML includes as it is not possible to see which include a customer received. The team is fabulous, they know the tool and are dedicated to the success of the business. They are quick to respond and provide feedback. Reporting and analytics are very manual if you are combining multiple days in a test.

    Retainly
    Retainly allowed me to take customer engagement to the next level. I felt an advantage of its low-code functionality, user-friendliness, intuitive automation, and pre-built integrations with a range of other marketing tools. I saw a noticeable difference in my marketing performance and customer retention results after almost 2 months of usage. As a marketer, I managed to automate heavy manual effort to run marketing my campaigns.

    Cons
    Cordial
    • Some of the tasks on the platform are still technical in nature and often requires the help of a developer or technical marketer. But I've witnessed great strides towards accessibility and ease of use for non-technical marketers over the past three years.
    • A lot of the templating must be built from scratch.
    • Deliverability insights (out of the box) could be expanded further.
