    Hull is definitely the leading CDP for the small to mid-sized business in which the marketing team wants or needs to have a fair amount of autonomy from engineering, or when it's unrealistic or cost-prohibitive to use internal engineering resources to maintain the marketing database. It's also a great choice for companies who are trying to bring newer and smaller best-of-breed elements into place in their marketing--enabling you to sync customer data records to CTAs/ Chat scenarios/ Email Service Providers, or any type of 3rd party campaign tools. It's probably not the best fit for companies trying to stay in a larger Marketing Cloud Ecosystem, e.g. Adobe/ Oracle.

    Message Studio/Selligent is great for reliably sending high volumes of both manual and automated email. The intuitive user interface promotes fast turnaround times. Aside from some data integration issues, it's the best email service provider I've used for sending large volumes of email.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Slack integration - we revolve around slack as our central comm hub and having our customer information surfaceable is just gold.
    • Making back-end data easy to read and digest - there is a lot of data that gets generated by our customers and it's impossible to sift through without Hull consolidating that information for us.
    • Customer support - we have only had a couple issues in the many months using Hull and it's always been a quick resolution. They use Slack to support BTW which I love.

    • StrongMail does open and click tracking very well. The detailed level of data they provide is exceptional.
    • StrongMail does failure data and bounce codes extremely well. The granularity of the information is invaluable to our business and used by us every day.
    • StrongMail's Message Studio EAS is a widely user friendly platform for technical and non-technical users alike.

    We had initially identified Segment as a solution due to the number of integrations they supported. The problem is that with Segment we would have still had to build and maintain a database along with query tools. Overall Hull emerged as a better starting point for us

    We did not evaluate other products exactly. We upgraded from an inferior production to StrongMail based on demos and other people's reviews.
