Considered Both Products	MessageGears Verified User Manager Chose MessageGears MessageGears is a completely different approach to email marketing than its competitors, and while it has a learning curve, it is superior after you've figured it out .

Verified User Professional Chose MessageGears 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. Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose MessageGears Bronto is a much better email service provider, though our choice to use MessageGears is based on our unique database situation, our partnership with them, and our deal structure.

User Testimonials
	MessageGears
Likelihood to Recommend	MessageGears 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.

Pros	MessageGears The MessageGears Support team is very helpful. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	MessageGears Multivariate testing WYSIWYG email builder SQL audience error report Native reporting Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	MessageGears Our situation is unique so I believe we are working on a semi-outdated UI which needs a tune up / version upgrade.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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	MessageGears 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.
