Likelihood to Recommend Pinpointe is perfect for managing large numbers of contacts, including gathering new contacts and storing them throughout your databases, which can further be broken into lists and then individual tags for sorting and sending. Where it really excels is in the email marketing sector. We are able to send as many as several hundred thousand emails per hour, making sure all of our customers get time sensitive marketing material quickly.

Read full review Pros The detailed statistics page is really helpful. Excellent and flexible Builder. Customer Service responds within one hour. Stock photos included. Database separation & sub-accounts. Excellent multi-inbox previewer available. Responsive templates. Invaluable webinars and training. Read full review Streamsend reports allows us to see who is opening our email blasts and it even pinpoints how many viewers then go onto look at our social media sites and website. Streamsend allows you to go back and review past email blasts. This prevents me from creating marketing material similar to what I have done in the past. The site shows you who's email address was undeliverable. This helps me to weed out any old e-mails or individuals who requested to block the blasts. Read full review Cons Depending on the amount, when I am in the middle of uploading a list of contacts I get bumped out and have to submit a request to increase my dataset. That being said, our company as a whole is happy with what Pinpointe provides us with as is. Read full review Easier ability to delete old subscriber lists. Notification when emails for the month are running low.

Read full review The renewal process is easy and doesn't require much thought. Our accounting team already has Streamsend as an approved vendor. We are happy with Streamsend and how it works. Switching email systems would require training and a learning curve that will be difficult to schedule in a busy department. The quality and reliability of Streamsend is something our team and attorneys trust.
Read full review Support Rating They are quick to respond to requests, usually within an hour. If they don't have an immediate fix to a problem, they let me know what the status is and what they are doing about a request. In some cases, if the development team needs to be involved because a bug is found, they have fixed and patched the system same day. Rarely do I ever get that kind of customer support response with any other company. They don't have a premium support tier because they treat every request with the same level of professionalism and response time (again, to at least let you know it was received and an actual person is looking at it, even if they are busy with other requests).
Read full review Alternatives Considered Pinpointe is a great #2 for specialty campaigns. Our bounce rates were higher than with other providers. Pinpointe's detailed reports and interface are a step above the competition.
Read full review I do not like the Constant Contact interface at all, and find Streamsend to be a modern and suitable alternative to the popular MailChimp.
Read full review Return on Investment Our ROI has gone up significantly since using Pinpointe. We are able to use the coding to implement a join form on our website directly so we don't have to download from our website and upload to Pinpointe each time we want to add our contacts. Our emails show up white-labeled so it is our own branding on all emails. Read full review I saw an impact on our ROI when using Streamsend for our weekly newsletters, since we used them as a redirect back to our website for new business The only negative impact I can think of would be the loss of some our registrants through our email database. Some thought that we sent out Eblasts and newsletters to frequently. It did help with faster lead conversion as we saw higher traffic and visitors to our website through direct click-through from our email campaigns Read full review ScreenShots Pinpointe On-Demand Screenshots
