Likelihood to Recommend It is definitely a contender if you run an e-commerce website. It connects with a host of different e-comm platforms (we use
Magento ) which makes product recommendations, purchase history/amounts, website behavior, etc. a lot easier to segment on and set trigger campaigns or targeted sends. If you're a B2B company, you probably won't want to use Listrak. The tools they have don't accommodate that segment as well as B2C, as many features would go unused since they simply don't make sense. I'm sure there are instances where Listrak would work just fine, but coming from that area previously, it is definitely a B2C tool.
Read full review Well suited to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.
Read full review Pros Segmentation is one of my favorite features. We love being able to pull specific audiences and tailor our marketing to the individual customer. Importing and exporting lists is very self explanatory and easy to manage. The main dash has a great overview of your most recent messages and metrics. Read full review Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one. Creating the firing conditions for a tag. Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions. If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action. Read full review Cons It is rare that I have issues or feel like Listrak has an area to improve in. The company is constantly ahead of the market and making additions/improvements on a monthly basis. That being said ... I have one area to suggest improvements: COMPOSER Composer - Drag & Drop editor: Although their design software with the new 'Composer' is better than your average WYSIWYG editor, their drag & drop editor lacks some basic design tools that stunt your ability to design out-of-the-box email campaigns. I typically write all my email code, so this doesn’t necessarily affect me in a negative manner. But ... if coding emails isn't your strong point, then the lack of design features and limited template selection could be bothersome. (*disclaimer - I do not believe Listrak's drag & drop editor is garbage, but it does fall short when compared to some of its competition.) Read full review Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once. Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business
Read full review Usability Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.
Read full review Support Rating Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that
Read full review Alternatives Considered The
Bronto platform is so similar to Listrak in that it made no sense for us to move unless there were significant cost savings (there weren't). We are so intertwined with Listrak that it would be painful to move for the sake of moving.
Klaviyo is very DIY which can be great. We find that we do our best work with hand-holding and account support.
Read full review Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does
Read full review Return on Investment Increasing our awareness of effective marketing email campaigns Reducing the effectiveness of our campaigns due to the complexity of software and inability to cancel our contract despite being LOYAL customers for 2 years.
