    Chose Zaius (discontinued)
    Mailchimp was going downhill and losing shopify support when i switched. Optimizely was more affordable than it's competitors.

    Listrak
    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.

    Optimizely Data Platform is a great tool for teams who look to use open-source tools over tools with white glove service. You do get a dedicated customer success manager and access to their (almost) 24/7 support team via chat, but the real benefits of the platform stand to be unlocked by teams who enjoy getting their hands dirty.

    Pros
    Listrak
    • 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.

    Cons
    Listrak
    • 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.)

    • Automation of data from other platforms such as our ERP.
    • The approval process needs work. I should be able to flag fields that have issues and give users feedback if a product is rejected.

    There's so much that needs to be improved and it seems like not much has happened since Optimizely first took over. When Optimizely did take over, they reduced the UX of campaign reporting.

    Usability

    • Creating reports can be difficult and they aren't very visual.
    • There is not much control you can have with your imported product catalog. Product filters can be difficult to use.
    • Manually importing customers is a more difficult process from when I was using Mailchimp 10 years ago.
    • Figuring out how to inject a module onto a page is difficult.
    • Figuring out how to get off an email blacklist is near impossible even with ip warming. Very little help here.

    Positive - Onboarding was quick and easy. Positive - Access to a Zaius data analyst has been wonderful. Negative - I don't know who our CSM is if we even have one.

    We have a home built CRM. From start to finish our implementation was a nightmare loaded with problems that destroyed my initial trust with the platform.

    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.

    Oh my goodness, there were many, including:
    • Klaviyo
    • Salesforce Email Marketing Cloud
    • Bronto
    • Marapost (the worst experience we ever had. We used them for the longest year on earth).
    • Silverpop (IBM)
    • I forgot their name but they are based in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania.
    • Exact Target
    • Active Campaign
    • Get Response
    • Drip
    • SendInBlue
    • And more I cannot remember. We spent over six months looking at everything.

    Return on Investment
    Listrak
    • 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.

    • We hit record numbers this year in regards to sales which is attributed to the launch of our new e-commerce website.
