Considered Multiple Products
Iterable
Chose Iterable
When we were benchmarking CRM platforms, we analyzed many of them. Mailchimp's transactional solution, Mandrill, was our previous provider, but we needed the Developer team's assistance in all our campaigns. Salesforce was a more complex platform, but it proved too complex for …
Chose Iterable
Iterable is superior to Braze when it comes to handling up to 10m users. More than that, Braze scales better, it guarantees on-time deliverability, where Iterable struggles to.
Chose Iterable
My understanding is that Mailchimp has evolved a lot since we moved to Iterable 4 years ago, so any comparison is legacy. Keeping that in mind, Iterable is far more sophisticated, especially the journey builder, personalised STO by user and segmentation.
Chose Iterable
Braze definitely feels it has more integrated capabilities, however that may be our internal set up. E.g. felt we could do more with segmentation. Easier to optimise campaigns for mobile. Easier to switch between front end & back end HTML building.

However I have always …
Chose Iterable
We chose Iterable due to flexibility and channel offerings, as well as the overall price of the tool at the time of signing. Iterable for us felt like the do it all tool for our marketing efforts.
Chose Iterable
Unsure. We've been using Iterable since I've worked here
Chose Iterable
Iterable is by far the platform that gives the best level of support from the csms to the tech calls to the support function in the product. All of these platforms do the same thing essentially but iteraly is the one scaling the fastest and provides the best support.
Chose Iterable
Currently we're seeing much more flexibility with our testing, segmentation and building process compared to previous platforms
Chose Iterable
I have previously used Dotdigital, and the way it compares to Iterable is through the reporting capabilities - Dotdigital reporting is, in my opinion, stronger; it provides real-time dashboards and the chance to generate reports for specific timeframes. I have previously used …
Chose Iterable
Iterable had the most robust personalisation features (handlebars, data catalog, snippets, robust segmentation) and multi-language support. Additionally, security features were higher than those of other alternatives. Close follow-up was Braze, and other platforms were compared …
Chose Iterable
We are still evaluating but the cost of switching has been the primary reason. In the past, other platforms have not had multi-channel messaging but that is no longer the case.
Chose Iterable
As mentioned previously, I was hired to do a migration from ActiveCampaign, and I stayed for 2 years as a power user of Itearble. Since leaving OneVision Resources, I have continued to volunteer my time in a regional user group, which I would not do if the platform, product, …
Chose Iterable
Customer.io, Adobe Marketo Engage, Keap, iContact, Constant Contact and HubSpot CRM
Chose Iterable
Not well. Not my choice. Would prefer Salesforce.
Chose Iterable
Iterable's geolocation paired with catalog items was something Braze and other platforms just couldn't do. Many tried to offer a workaround, but there just wasn't a legitimate solution anywhere else.
Chose Iterable
Iterable was more competitive in pricing, the segmentation technology was extremely advanced and fast in comparison with the competitors we analysed, and deliverability and reliability of the system have been fantastic.
Chose Iterable
Iterable has plug-in capabilities with Movable Ink, in which Movable allows for dynamic content to plug into HTML, text, messages, and utilizes data within Iterable to send dynamic personalized content to customers, great tool in addition to Iterable!

Previously we've used …
Chose Iterable
If you're still using SFMC do yourself a favor and explore some of the newer options available. Iterable is a strong competitor unless you need the B2B and account based marketing/support teams all in a single platform.
Klaviyo is great and best for small-medium size companies …
Chose Iterable
I admittedly don't remember much of Klaviyo, as I have become so familiar with Iterable. I definitely prefer Iterable, however. There are so many more features in Iterable and it just feels like a more dynamic and comprehensive experience with more granular data than Klaviyo …
Chose Iterable
Intercom is not created for marketing purposes and it is quite transparent when you get around to building a campaign with it. It's clunky and often quite frustrating to work with. While Iterable is not perfect, it's a tremendous upgrade. Iterable allows you to have more …
Chose Iterable
Iterable is way more user-friendly, eazy to learn and use, overall much better.
Chose Iterable
We have been on Iterable for about 2 years and in that 2 years have evaluated other platforms, considering doing another migration.

The key reason we have stayed with Iterable is the ease of running (largely automated) omni channel comms with a complex data structure. We have …
Chose Iterable
Iterable has more nuance and allows us to leverage more data.
Klaviyo
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the known industry standard. It easily integrates with Shopify and Google Analytics. This helps us to track conversions more easily and with greater accuracy. Although other products can integrate and offer pretty much the same service, we decided to move forward …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo integrates better with Shopify and it is more counterintuitive to our marketing needs.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo beat all the other competitors. The pricing structure is just too hard to beat, and the customization/personalization, and the usability is just amazing.
Chose Klaviyo
We moved from MailChimp to Klaviyo around ~2019, and Klaviyo already had an integration that gracefully synced all our data. At the time, we particularly preferred Klaviyo's A/B testing tools over MailChimp's, and the rest of their feature suite helped us stay. We still use …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo's ability to really tackle the entire marketing contact ecosystem on one platform is what really won us over. The price for everything was competitive, not necessarily the cheapest but competitive, and the ability to see that data flow from every interaction was what …
Chose Klaviyo
I use other products in other businesses and for clients. Klaviyo is preferred by our IT/developer, was better cost, and overall, is slightly simpler to manage.
Chose Klaviyo
Costs more but much more customizable in every aspect. The WYSIWYG editor is far more robust and allows us full customization. Also its ability to sync easily accross multiple apps and platforms make it a no brainer if you are adding multiple tech apps to your site.
Chose Klaviyo
SurveyMonkey, Handshake by Shopify (discontinued) and Shopify
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is better for eCommerce businesses. It integrates better with other apps, has more features, and is customisable, so we can reflect the branding in the emails we build.
Chose Klaviyo
I moved from Klaviyo's email platform to Seguno about 6 months ago and am preferring Seguno. It's right in the Shopify dashboard and very easy to use. The email creation process is more intuitive vs. Klaviyo and it's significantly less expensive, so a better option for small …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has a very intimate integration with Shopify bringing in purchasing behaviour, browsing behavior, total spend, order value, ordered products, etc. Klaviyo's automated email journeys are way more complex and support multiple IF conditions, which allows granular …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has been email capabilities
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is leaps and bounds above Mailchimp. We just switched from MailChimp because we outgrew it. That is actually my recommended path to take while starting out. MailChimp had a free plan up to 5000 emails. Once we hit that, we switched and got an email marketing team and …
Chose Klaviyo
We switched from MailChimp to Klaviyo as we felt Klaviyo was better suited to our needs as we were growing.
Chose Klaviyo
It is different from them, especially because of its use in e-commerce and data-driven marketing. While IT provides segmentation, behavior tracking, and automation flows, Mailchimp is good for running simple campaigns and smaller organizations. We have chosen IT because it …
Chose Klaviyo
It had the best flexibility for templating, and also for segmentation and dynamic content compared to others we used/demo'd when deciding to change provider. Overall, it gave us more control. Instead of working around the platform, we can shape it around what we’re trying to do.
Chose Klaviyo
Found Klaviyo easier to use and had more functions than mailchimp.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is easy to use if you can stomach the cost. Probably has too much that most brands don't need, yet you pay for anyways.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo delivers a better experience for designing, managing, and operating as a whole. Just about every feature is best; the only flaw is that Attentive has more robust signup flows, but it makes up for it with its great overall UX. When it comes to designing templates, design …
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo has always been the most efficient and most strategic email marketing tool I've used for e-commerce businesses. No matter what industry, it does a fantastic job.
Chose Klaviyo
Some other solutions are overly simplified, limiting control and flexibility, whereas others are so complex that execution becomes extremely burdensome and creates long lead times. We found Klaviyo to have the best balance.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the best email marketing and CRM platform when it comes to eCommerce brands and Shopify integration. We can plan and analyse the audience and segments in depth, where we see the power of well-integrated email automation capabilities and more.
Chose Klaviyo
Klaviyo simply has more features, better integrations and better a/b testing and reporting. Klaviyo is the dominant market player and it’s hard to run an e-commerce business if you don’t have a tool at Klaviyo’s level. The other tools also were a bit harder to navigate as well …
Chose Klaviyo
Shopify's built in options are just not enough. It can do the basic "Here's you order" or "Status update". But you can't control nearly enough emails at scale with just the usage of Shopify's built in options.

Iterable is great for delivering your email marketing activity. We've not yet added other channels (although may do soon), but others report that the cross-channel capability is strong. Iterable manages to find the sophistication to enable our ambitions, yet remain user friendly and manageable. We're on a journey from relying heavily on old-fashioned blast emails to automated CRM. Iterable has been a fantastic tool to help us along the way. I particularly enjoy the journey builder that we trigger in multiple ways, from custom events, to list schedules, and user actions.

For us, the ability to apply properties and segment users as we do has been the biggest boon to our marketing endeavors. We use hundreds of properties to ensure customers receive truly tailored content. Being able to build that out with the Klaviyo x WooCommerce integration and Klaviyo's APIs was a major differentiator for us as our business grew.

Cons
  • Locale management: being able to copy and past a template section/row/content from a locale to another. Also, be able to duplicate any locale to any locale. So far we can just duplicate the default locale into the rest of the locales
  • Outages - I feel in the last 1 and half, more outages are happening, impacting their clients
  • Image library

  • Needs more visible critical notifications as we once exceeded our monthly email limit right during the Black Friday campaign. The notification was not visible enough for us to catch it on time, as a result, some emails scheduled to be sent over the weekend were never sent
  • Better library of dynamic values available for use inside emails

Klaviyo is simply a great solution for e-com email marketing & customer relationship management:
  1. User journey visibility: We can see our clients' customers on their individual user journeys (open email, site visits) to better understand and accommodate your customers.
  2. Flow automation: Creating automated emails that follow up with new leads, those who abandoned carts, purchased.
  3. Email design: So easy to use, and more friendly than some other visual builders that we've used.
  4. Metrics visibility: We can see our clients' metrics very easily and adjust efforts accordingly.

Usability
Iterable is super easy to use. I have experience with competing platforms, but Iterable is by far the most intuitive platform to use. I also really appreciate the way the product team is willing to accept product requests
Read full review
It's a decent platform with a user friendly interface, however it massively misses trust due to unsecured systems and support from customer service; support is a massive problem if you run a company and have a problem with the service that you can't fix. On the other side of the line, in our experience, there is no support or understanding which we haven't encountered with any other company we have done business online in the last decade.

Reliability and Availability
Iterable is there like 99.9% of the time. However, when it goes down, it grinds us to a halt. Most of the time, outages are an hour or less, but if that's at a peak time, it can be a nightmare. That said, when the worst does happen, there are frequent updates and an easy situation tracker that give you an estimate of how much longer you'll have to wait for the issue to be resolved.

Performance
The API is super quick. The UI can be a little sluggish depending on what you're loading, but overall Iterable performs great. Iterable appears to do a good job of making processes async so that one action isn't blocking another.

I've never experienced any issues with Iterable. As I and my colleagues have learnt the system and it's features, response to questions and advice from our account manager is always quick. Kevin knows the product well, and with the few tricky questions has hasn't been able to answer he's been quick to get back to us.

Their support is always quick and we have recurring meetings with our advisor. they were great when we first started at walking us through the platform and helping us understand how to do the overall setup. They also have a wide variety of articles that cover must issues in a very clear manner that will get you out of a predicament really fast.

Scalability
We've definitely tested scalability, and it's no line - it works. The process is pretty easy. Most of the times it goes off without a hitch. Any time we do encounter issues, our support team is quick to get on the job and very communicative as they work us through a successful launch.

Return on Investment
  • Great ROI, for the cost we're getting amazing value out of the product. We couldn't do much of our marketing without it.
  • This is one of our best tools to drive customer retention. It's hard enough to get a customer to your product in the first place but Iterable helps us get those customer to keep coming back time and time again.
  • Testing functionality, we've ramped up our testing with our own ML tools to pair with Iterables AI tools to power up our customer engagement strategy.

  • Klaviyo brought our email channel to the top performing channel over Paid Ads several times (according to G Analytics), before Klaviyo Paid Ads were always top and the email channel struggled to even stay in 2nd place.
  • Klaviyo did cost quite a bit more than our old email platform but the ROI was much higher so it paid for itself.
  • Klaviyo implemented tools that allowed us to have a higher customer satisfaction with things like letting customers choose to receive less emails instead of unsubscribing.
