User Testimonials
	TargetX, from Liaison	Upswing Integrated Student Services
Likelihood to Recommend	Liaison Most of the reason I'd recommend the solution is for their email capabilities. The email builder is par excellence, almost if not more competitive than capabilities provided by some actual Email Marketing solutions. Additionally, it runs on Salesforce, and thus allows for automated emails and campaigns with information integrated into them from SF records. It is truly remarkable and a very well-developed capability. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Upswing International Inc No answers on this topic

Cons	Liaison When sending large volumes of email the campaigns can be slow to send The events functions are not as robust as some of the competition Their telemarketing component has not been updated in a while and leaves a bit for current call centers.

Alternatives Considered	Liaison Given that it's an older solution and addresses a lot more use cases, there's a lot more bulk and technical debt in the solution. This may make it overwhelming for first-time users and administrators. The email builder though is truly par excellence.
