Likelihood to Recommend Appropriate for large organizations who want customization in their emails. The tool - while intuitive if you have previous background - is hefty and large in scope of capabilities. It's great for organizations who have multiple users and shows the name of person who last made changes. The reporting is really good - but may be a bit overwhelming for organizations who don't need a lot of detailed information

Where it really excels is in the email marketing sector. We are able to send as many as several hundred thousand emails per hour, making sure all of our customers get time sensitive marketing material quickly.
Read full review Pros Fairly intuitive if you have previous experience with high-end email tools. The training opportunities are good - they offer both online and/or live training. The support we receive is very good. The reporting feature is good - a lot of detailed information. Read full review The detailed statistics page is really helpful. Excellent and flexible Builder. Customer Service responds within one hour. Stock photos included. Database separation & sub-accounts. Excellent multi-inbox previewer available. Responsive templates. Invaluable webinars and training. Read full review Cons The tool could be improved to "remember" where you last left off (specific user). Having to constantly retrace steps if you get logged out is annoying. Hitting the "back" arrow sends you back to a main section, when it should send you back to where you previously were. It would be nice to see performance reports available within the campaign itself, as well as within the reporting section. Ability to NOT be able to change anything in a campaign after it has launched. This has happened multiple times. We usually copy a previous campaign to start a new one but often, we end up changing content on the version we are copying from -- this is very annoying and dangerous.

That being said, our company as a whole is happy with what Pinpointe provides us with as is.

Read full review Support Rating They are quick to respond to requests, usually within an hour. If they don't have an immediate fix to a problem, they let me know what the status is and what they are doing about a request. In some cases, if the development team needs to be involved because a bug is found, they have fixed and patched the system same day. Rarely do I ever get that kind of customer support response with any other company. They don't have a premium support tier because they treat every request with the same level of professionalism and response time (again, to at least let you know it was received and an actual person is looking at it, even if they are busy with other requests).
Read full review Alternatives Considered While both Epsilon Agility Harmony and
Oracle Responsys are great for larger organizations that send a lot of emails, I think Epsilon Agility Harmony is more robust than Responsys and is easier to use. It is significantly more complex than
HubSpot and requires previous knowledge of using an email tool that has content blocks and or dynamic content.
Read full review Pinpointe is a great #2 for specialty campaigns. Our bounce rates were higher than with other providers. Pinpointe's detailed reports and interface are a step above the competition.
