Considered Both 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.
Sitecore Send
Chose Sitecore Send
Sitecore Send's CMS allows our businesse to create, manage, and deliver content across multiple channels, ensuring a consistent brand experience. Its digital marketing tools enable businesses to automate email marketing, personalize website content based on user behavior, and …
Chose Sitecore Send
I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing …
Chose Sitecore Send
Simple yet powerful email marketing tool designed to automate every aspect of email marketing so that email marketers can perform tasks faster and engage with visitors in an accurate and timely manner.
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend is known as more of an industry standard than BuzzStream (which is a more budget tool), and it shows. BuzzStream has clearly cut corners in areas of usability and general UI, where Moosend, on the other hand, seems to have done it right from the beginning. Moosend is so …
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend was the most affordable and the easiest to use. Moosend seemed to have the best reviews as far as we read. We wanted to try something new and so far have had nothing but success; however, those other programs may be just as good. We went with Moosend based on reviews …
Chose Sitecore Send
The simple interface and lower cost. Simple automation in a couple of clicks easy to set up.
Chose Sitecore Send
We use both MailChimp and Moosend, and I prefer to use MailChimp for most campaigns. As compared to MailChimp, I think it is more difficult to manage lists on Moosend. It's also harder to preview past campaigns, review campaign performance, or manage saved templates for …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Moosend has industry-leading features and budget friendly plans suitable for budget-minded businesses. It enables businesses to execute marketing campaigns successfully and has robust workflow automation. I recommend their Pro plan to any marketing professional out there because of how it helps to strategically handle all marketing needs by boosting the level of automation.

Pros
  • It is easy to onboard new users with building communications. The drag and drop editor is very intuitive to use.
  • Allows for complex data structures on user profiles and in events. This is a key reason we onboarded to Iterable and have stayed with it.

  • It promotes business opportunities in the market with innovation and ideas

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

  • If you have more than 1000 subscribers you will be required to upgrade to the Pro plan.

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

Pretty straight forward but it takes sometime to get used to. Not exactly like WordPress or other open source cms but it gets the job done

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.

Support Rating
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.

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 our Marketing team, and the price was higher. ActiveCampaign didn't have the solutions in place to support 40 different locales with the autonomy that Iterable offers.

I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing the communication among the customers and company. Nothing can beat this application in making work flow, and we admit its strategies to make the company marketing strong and in the pipeline are also in consideration to put forward for implementation.

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.

  • Moosend is quite affordable (500,000 emails for $500), so it's easy to see an ROI. It only takes a few recipients converting to make a campaign worth the spend.
