Acquia
Mautic is not Salesforce or Dynamics of course; it is hard to install, still buggy and you have to know what you're doing if you want to use it. But that is your admission fee to an always free system that does essentially all the same things as the pricey alternatives, does it effectively and gives you total control. Mautic was acquired by Acquia, the company behind Drupal, and has been making substantial upgrades since that seem to be accelerating. The system has an active user community, active development and will only get better, making it an excellent choice to grow with and build your own systems around and never be dependent on third parties

If you are looking for a WP plugin to manage your abandoned cart, Retainful is the best you can find. The UX is really nice, the platform is user-friendly and you don't need any skill to start using it from day one. You can create email automation in a few steps and offer coupon codes to grab the attention of your customers. Last but not least, Retainful has the best support team! They reply super fast, they assist you to set everything properly and they really help you to have the best service possible. Honestly, you can't ask more!

Alternatives Considered

Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement to pay for it.

We use Mailchimp for email marketing but as integration with WordPress we found Retainful easier to use (automation workflow) and you can start for free! Moreover, we can generate and send coupon codes directly from the plugin, and works great with Woocommerce! It is more than one year that we use Retainful and we are completely satisfied
