    ExpressPigeon
    ExpressPigeon is well suited for a small team that needs to utilize marketing for their business. I can tell you now that my entire team knows how to use ExpressPigeon. It may not be well suited for someone that is looking to really automate their marketing efforts, but definitely suited for teams that really have their hands from beginning to the end of a campaign.

    I had problems sending and communicating to one hundred and fifty (150) clients. I was supposed to send them information about the ongoing migration and training for new suppliers for our new program. Since the emails and client information is a lot, I had to seek for help. That's where Mailmeteor came in, I was advised by a colleague and I have been using it ever since.

    Mailmeteor
    • The website is too simple.
    • You need to accurately arrange email placement, won't accept separation as simple as "coma".
    • Though it may provide real time assessment on the status of the communication sent, most of the time especially when encountering errors, it doesn't provide exact info on what the errors were.

    As mentioned, on a daily basis, communication serves a vital role though my job. That's why having a partner that could provide assistance with the task that makes most of my overall workload, keeps my mind at ease and will always provide a breeze in progress. In every milestone that we hit, truly Mailmeteor is part of it.

    While ExpressPigeon is not as "advanced" in some senses, when compared to those other tools, it provides us with the core functions that we need to run the business. They are also constantly upgrading and adding functionality, such as automation, which helps when needed. Overall, stacks up fairly well for the costs associated to it.
