    Great for setting up MEL measurements for web based media. Great for use in media environments especially where there is no dedicated data analytics staff. Not sure how useful it would be for those sites that are not content focused.

    Cons
    rasa.io
    • Cannot be edited easily from a tablet or mobile device. Desktop is needed
    • You have to be very precise when toggling articles or you'll hyperlink to another page
    • Would like to see more robust integration with Keap - specifically the ability to work with contact tags to add or remove recipients from the distribution list

    • It has a lot of information and data all over the place. It took us some time to get used to it and get people properly onboarded. We have seen some improvement, but UX has more space to improve.

    rasa.io
    • We get comments weekly about how much recipients like the newsletter
    • There's no solid way to accurately calculate ROI but we've noticed an uptick in the number of long-term nurture prospects that have become clients. All receive the rasa newsletter.
