Cons

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.

I use both SimplyCast and Act-On. Act-On ties in with our database, I use SimplyCast in order to send e-mails that don't look exactly like our other e-mails

We do get responses from our e-mails
Do not get a lot of information like we do from Act-On
