Lytics vs. Maropost Marketing Cloud

Not a unified audience database but for segmenting for programmatic advertising [Lytics is] excellent[.] It is an identity / email driven database[.] Does not combine users into one master record[.] Excellent built-in scoring mechanisms which I use regularly to isolate most engaged users[.]

Maropost is a little more expensive than its competitors. I'd say Maropost is well suited for medium and larger businesses, not small businesses unless they're really good at utilizing e-mail and monetizing it.

Incentivized

• Analytics: it's easy to obtain and understand.
• Usability: the database is intuitive and easy to learn.
• Targeting: you can easily reach your target audience.

• Maropost is particularly strong in the customization aspect. As a sales person, I love using MSC because I can customize everything from A-Z.
• The features are endless, a personal fav is the Journey's feature with Marketing Cloud.
• Client support is quick to respond.

• Uptime.
• Monitoring
• Relational-table-like functionality

Incentivized

• The Sales Department shouldn't promise the customer what support can't deliver on.
• They should also brush up on some ethics courses. It's appalling to me how they conduct business. Buyer beware.

Though relatively responsive, the responses were always utterly unhelpful and sometime not even relevant to the questions we asked. It quickly became apparent that it was outsourced copy/paste support.

We evaluated 5-8 CDP's and picked Lytics[.]

Maropost had everything we needed and more. We loved that fact that one price covered everything. As we move forward we don't have to go back and purchase modules that we are now ready for. No one wants to go back to management and ask for more money

Incentivized

• Positive: Customers are retained through another outlet.
• Positive ROI: we've made a lot of money using the program.
• Positive: We're using Lytics targeting with email integrations to reach specific subscribers in ways we never thought possible.

Incentivized

• Lack of data and information about our users that we can use to get smarter in our segmentation hurts us in that we lose branded deals or partnerships.
• Takes too much time to export reports and gain attrition reporting information, manually preparing reports is not a good use of time for anyone on our team.
