    Insider One
    Insider Growth Management Platform is great for anyone looking to improve their conversion rates, whether in lead generation or eCommerce. The web push notifications also provide a powerful tool for any organisation looking to reach their website visitors that they may not have in a database. A certain scale is required to realise a return on investment though, the platform is suited to medium to large businesses.

    MessageGears
    MessageGears can be a solid, inexpensive email solution and you can be able to send millions of emails per year. In 2020, we delivered over 235 million emails at a fraction of what that would cost with any other email service provider. We worked with MessageGears on a custom solution with our database.

    MessageGears
    Our situation is unique so I believe we are working on a semi-outdated UI which needs a tune up / version upgrade. Similarly, our custom connection means that we do not have access to the full feature set so I've never experienced MessageGears' best functionality

    MessageGears
    MessageGears support is always quick to respond when we have an issue, which is rare. Gail has been our main rep and she has been great. We don't have many issues so luckily, we don't need to lean on their customer support team much. That said, it would be beneficial to hear from upper management more.

    Insider is a great app growth platform, we’ve seen so many aspects of this product improve our marketing strategy and more importantly our business margins in such a short space of time!

    MessageGears
    MessageGears doesn't come close to Salesforce Marketing Cloud. We chose MessageGears based on how data was accessed. We never really got a good preview of how the system works or what was available, so we didn't know everything that it was lacking until we started using it.
