Lytics vs. MessageGears

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[.]

MessageGears can be a solid, inexpensive email solution and you can be able to send millions of emails per year. In 2020, we delivered over 235 million emails at a fraction of what that would cost with any other email service provider. We worked with MessageGears on a custom solution with our database.

Our situation is unique so I believe we are working on a semi-outdated UI which needs a tune up / version upgrade. Similarly, our custom connection means that we do not have access to the full feature set so I've never experienced MessageGears' best functionality

MessageGears support is always quick to respond when we have an issue, which is rare. Gail has been our main rep and she has been great. We don't have many issues so luckily, we don't need to lean on their customer support team much. That said, it would be beneficial to hear from upper management more.

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

MessageGears doesn't come close to Salesforce Marketing Cloud. We chose MessageGears based on how data was accessed. We never really got a good preview of how the system works or what was available, so we didn't know everything that it was lacking until we started using it.

• 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.
