    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.

    Very well suited for monthly newsletters in a consistent template or format. Also beneficial for promo emails for events with the countdown feature - I really like that. Less useful for 1-1 outreach since what makes it a helpful tool is the highly polished marketing look and feel, so it's not useful for our BDR outreach which is meant to feel personal from an Outlook

    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    Our situation is unique so I believe we are working on a semi-outdated UI which needs a tune up / version upgrade.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

    It is very easy to use as long as you have basic knowledge on designing terms such as padding, structures, and more. Even if you don't have the basic knowledge, it is very easy to learn after designing a couple of emails. It would be better if designs could get more complex in Stripo like in Canva but I usually just export designs from there and add them.

    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.

    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.

    I like Stripo the most because it feels marketing-first. Almost like the Canva for marketing teams that are not email experts, but need to own and deliver the email marketing part of their campaign themselves. It is a great tool for teams that need to deliver a large volume of emails across the team in a consistent brand look and feel.
