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.

Zeta Global
  • Good for very basic management of a search program.
  • Not good for much else since it is buggy and lacks many features that competitors offer.
  • Also may be good for someone who is looking for a low-cost DMS.

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.

  • Buggy!
  • Lacks many features competitors offer (like labeling).
  • No clear roadmap for the future with their SEM product.

Poorly. For example, Kenshoo's offering is fast, customizable, works with all publisher platforms, and more. IgnitionOne just doesn't stack up well against the competition and isn't investing in the product like it used to.
