Infor Omni-Channel Campaign Management vs. Marigold Engage by Sailthru

This tool is great in the retail industry with a huge customer and guest presence where a huge influx of data is always being analyzed and being reported via different sources. This tool makes it easy to organize that and it helps with side by side comparison of the information. Great for business with multiple locations where all of the information is being fed to some central system. I don't believe it is one for small businesses or individual owners.

Sailthu is perfectly suited, no matter what level of technical skill you have or support from an Engineering team. That said, it includes many advanced features which can only be fully utilized when integrated with custom webhooks and after receiving customer data sent via their APIs. There may be easier solutions out there for less technical users or for people wanting a simpler setup to begin with.

The biggest factor is that even after two months of trying to go through their credit processes and getting the right consideration for the real damages we had with the tool not being able to send campaigns for days, their sales staff is still not willing to work with us on it, making us do the switch away from them right now. We got extremely disappointed by trying to work with them through those issues.

Their account management / sales staff doesn't seem to be taking the problems you experience very seriously - it took us 3 months and nudge emails to them every 2 weeks to ask for status updates (plus 6 different conversations with different people) to get a (very small credit) for a major issue, which in two months prohibited us from sending campaign emails for 2-3 days at a time.

Infor Omni-Channel Campaign Management stands out because of its capabilities for effective and great reporting, always a challenge for a fast-paced working environment where we need to analyze data in a very timely manner coming from different sources. We used another tool previously and it was not working as expected so we decided to move to this Infor tool and we are glad we made that decision of switching.

Sailthru provided a powerful, easy-to-use platform that was able to adjust to the needs we had at Dotdash. It was able to support the simple campaigns where we would send static creative to all recipients and the complex dynamic campaigns where we were customizing content. The scale and flexibility really made it a great platform for us to use.

Incentivized
