    Exclaimer is highly beneficial for larger companies that have a range of business units and requirements around the look and feel of signatures. Smaller organisations are unlikely to need the same degree of customisation, so the requirement is diminished. Particularly as there is something of a cost premium and another platform to manage.

    Mailchimp is fairly easy to onboard, even for those who would consider themselves less technologically inclined. It can be as simple as plug-and-play for simpler campaigns or scale up as needed. It also makes it easy to build, send out for internal review and feedback, and track all the needed changes.

    Pros
    Exclaimer
    • Allows for easily customizing the templates for the signatures.
    • Allows uploading custom logos or banners to be applied in the different signatures
    • Allows assigning specific signatures to groups of users
    • Connects easily with all Google Suite email accounts within the organization

    • Mailchimp allows you to manage your mailing list really well. You can subscribe people, unsubscribe people manage the mailing list directly into segments, and what not.
    • Mailchimp has features where you can create campaigns based on your mailing lists and send out newsletters to your subscribers based on a multitude of parameters that you can setup. Such as send email daily, weekly, monthly and they also have event based mails that you can send out.
    • Mailchimp also has a feature where you can design your emails. The look and aesthetics are very important when sending emails to your subscribers and all those needs are addressed here.

    Cons
    Exclaimer
    • A complete tutorial could be added to avoid common pitfalls (such as when to use 0 and when to use auto).
    • The email add-in seems quite clunky when getting going.
    • There is no way to self-serve user-specific changes (such as toggling on/off certain extras, such as direct dials, extensions, and job titles).

    • The pricing tiers do scale quickly so if you have a free newsletter it may get expensive
    • The pricing is based on total emails so if you have users who you only email rarely it might not make sense to use Intuit Mailchimp
    • Customer support can be a bit lacking at times and their docs aren't always the best

    We are very happy with exclaimer it runs 99.9% of the time without any issues. It also very easy to use and maintain and the design team are happy to use it as its so user friendly. When compared to how much time we used to spend updating banners exclaimer saves us hours. This more than justifies the cost and when it comes to renew we wont be thinking twice about doing so

    We've had Mailchimp for about ten years, I want to say. I started with the company about four years ago, and I don't see us ever diverting to another source. It's easy for us to use, and we have all our clients already built into the database. I imagine we'll use them for as long as we have the company.

    Usability
    Exclaimer
    In the order that I recall the setup process: Signature templates need to be set up (attribute mapping to AD) Office 365 connector needs to be set up (global admin needed and exclaimer engineer for guidance) Signature policies need to be set up (who gets which signatures) Office membership groups need to be setup (who in the org will use exclaimer) Members need to be added to those groups (user membership) Agents need to be deployed on the end-user hosts (local agent)

    It is easy, but some things you need to learn from their resources. Mailchimp is one of the most popular email marketing platforms because it combines email marketing, automation, audience management, and analytics into a single tool that's easy to use and scale. Simple solutions and drag-and-drop edits make it easy.

    I have, in the 4+ years that I've used Mailchimp, never seen an issue that restricted the use of their software/tools. I don't know of a single time when they're system crashed or went down. I could be wrong, but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with outages, errors or unplanned downtime

    I haven't noticed any slow speeds from Mailchimp or their tools. I think the landing pages load quickly and look nice. The email reports and editing operates smoothly and doesn't take time to load. Additionally, when I use Mailchimp in conjunction with Zapier + Hubspot I don't notice any drag between any of these tools

    Website tools were easy to use and understand so a novice can easily meet or exceed their client's expectations! Loved that we were able to totally customize so that the e-mail we created conveyed our client's overall messaging consistent with their branding! Client love that we can provide turnkey services to support their sales and marketing teams!

    Our implementation was relatively easy as we weren't cutting over from anything. We just got the software installed, set up the file share and got active directory set up. We got exsync on a scheduled task and it just worked. We built our templates and policies and it has always been relatively smooth.

    It's pretty easy to get up and running! There's a slight learning curve on a few things, but once you find where everything is located, you can import your list and send your first email. It really makes our clients feel great to see how quickly they can get that first email out.

    Exclaimer blows the doors off compared to Letsignit. Exclaimer is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. What you get is a much better user interface, real analytics instead of one crappy report you have to manually sort, and a much more robust campaign area. With Letsignit I was constantly getting messages that they were experiencing one problem or another, leading to service outages that impacted our users. Gotta love it when the CEO calls because he can't find his email signature. I've had no service interruptions with Exclaim and no email "excuses." That's the sort of thing that makes you lose confidence in a supplier quickly. Oh, and no communication/bills in French. I lived near the Canadian border, I get it, but you have customer databases, communicate appropriately.

    I used Intuit Mailchimp, and I would say other software I used is equally good and competes with Intuit Mailchimp. Well, Intuit Mailchimp's reporting is better, and ActiveCampaign has more affordable pricing, so in the end, it all comes to what you need. What we needed was available in cheaper price in other software as well. But I would definitely say Intuit Mailchimp has its own advantages too.

    Mailchimp over the years I've used it has grown in leaps and bounds. They have added so many additional features than were previously available. They are truly an all-in-one marketing platform now. If you're a small operation and just want to add email to your marketing efforts, they're there for you. If you're a larger operation and want to start sending postcard advertisements, they can do that. If you'd good with that and want to kick up your marketing by going social, you can do that on their platform. They are truly able to be as small as you need, but also get quite large in whatever it is you'd like to do through their system.

    • One of my retail web store clients was sending out email specials and notices about once a month. After clicking the send button, we would watch Google Analytics and the current site users would light up immediately. Often, the current site visitors would pop up to 20, 30 or more after the email was sent. On a normal day, seeing 1 or 2 online users would be OK.
    • Pretty much in all cases, we could see an uptick in positive activity after sending out a Intuit Mailchimp email to a list.
