    Maropost
    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.

    Chat is nothing new but the ease of use and functionality is key, that being said Pure Chat nails it across the board. We use the chat across our website and ad pages. Don't see a situation where this effective tool would be less appropriate, consumers want instant information and instant connection, chat provides both without being tied up on the phone

    Pros
    Maropost
    • 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.

    Cons
    Maropost
    • 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.

    • Transcripts that could generate in a PDF or Word doc rather than .txt file, option would be nice
    • Chat is straight forward so not much room for improvement, we're happy with the service, functionality, and ease of use.

    Support Rating
    Maropost
    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.

    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

    Didn't see much pros and cons comparing Pure Chat and Olark. They all do the job. However, Pure Chat is free to use on basic functions.

    Return on Investment
    Maropost
    • 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.
