Likelihood to Recommend As far as I know, Delivra is the only email marketing software that allows for every instance of a personalized email to be bcc'ed to an internal email address. This is a niche feature, but can be very useful for companies that need detailed records of all client communication for posterity.
Read full review It is nice to be able to double-check the HTML code easily. However, that being said, once we have the template structure and modules coded and rendered, we often do not feel that Litmus is as helpful because we have already verified that the HTML is functioning as intended.
Read full review Pros User-friendly - once I understood the platform better, it took only a few minutes for me to prepare the reminder based on the survey invitation. Trustworthy - I could trust that my emails were sent successfully. Had the necessary tools - I only used a few of the features, but the ones I did use were easy to implement for the emails. Read full review Emulation of 100s of email clients by pasting HTML email code into their builder The UI for navigating the build tools, analytics, and other functions are intuitive and easy to learn. They have amazing weekly newsletters that go deep into email trends, benchmarks, and very practical tips. They are well-written. Read full review Cons The contact database is not easy to navigate and we are limited by the number of contact categories we can create, and the ones we can delete. When personalizing emails it is hard to see past all the unneeded database properties to find the ones I want to include. Every time I log in from https://www.delivra.com/ it opens a second window with the app and leaves the first window. It should go directly to the app in the same window. Within the app, you can't open links in new tabs for easy comparison between different files/versions. It would be nice to have one email open and be able to easily open a different draft "in a new tab" without having to open a new window, log in again, and navigate to the needed file. Read full review It would be great if there was an integration where we could make necessary changes in Litmus and update Klaviyo. A better understanding of ways to optimize - things may be good as is, but what are ways that we can improve it for a better-sending reputation? Sometimes the app in Chrome is clunky. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It's offering me more than any other email proof software I've heard of! I also really appreciate how Litmus gives back to the email development community via their content creation. I want better marketing and marketing email in the world, and Litmus is working towards that goal. So, yeah, they're good folks with a good product!
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Reliability and Availability 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
Read full review Performance 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
Read full review In-Person Training It was very informative one on one session for me. I was able to use Litmus without any issues.
Read full review Online Training It has all the required information.
Read full review Implementation Rating It was quick and easy to get up and running. We were able to use the platform not long after getting it up and running.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I had the ability to manually suppress who I wanted to send the email to, as well as individually send a link to members/customers without depending on
Qualtrics ability to "send to non-survey respondents."
Read full review For more in-depth QA and personalization needs, Litmus is the way to go. I believe that Litmus should be used in conjunction with a product like
Mailchimp or
Constant Contact to support your email development efforts. I would not use any one of these by itself if you really want to create an end product that can provide the greatest ROI and use for your end consumer.
Read full review Scalability 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
Read full review Return on Investment Delivra has been well suited to the needs of a particular client, and allowed for campaigns to be executed in line with their needs. Delivra is another tool in our company's email marketing/marketing automation toolbox that can be used when needed or at a different price point from other platforms. Overall, we haven't widely deployed Delivra.
