Stripo vs. Yesmail360i

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

For all outbound messaging, YesMail is perfect. For Social Media management, or for customer service management, where customers or subscribers need a place to "talk back" to your organization, YesMail might not be the best platform.

• Large Enterprise email campaigns for Fortune 500 clients.
• Account managers are very easy to work with and contact. I usually can get a response within a few hours to solve an issue.
• Software is very easy to use and ramp up time was short.

• Improvements for dark mode emails.

Incentivized

• The ramp up time for new users is pretty poor. Since it is not an intuitive interface non tech savvy users have a hard time getting the most out of it
• A lot of common functionality has to be built in... Which costs extra
• Support isn't the best, they do respond but not at the speed I would like.

I do not have the buying decision to renew/change providers, but do have the ability to provide my feedback to those who do. Yesmail has a lot of kinks that need to be worked out. But, for those that just need to deploy emails, and house subscriptions, this is a decent platform to do so. Companies with more advanced campaign targeting/analysis needs should explore other service providers.

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.

Overall it is easy to use but there's several different portals you must log into instead of having everything at your disposal in one place (reporting, emails, extracting data, etc).

Very easy to get a hold of an actual person and quick responses.

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.

We currently use MailChimp for automation campaigns. While there are limitations with MailChimp segmentation, it was much faster to get set up. We still use Yesmail for the bulk of our sending, and could probably do all the same things we do with MailChimp but it would just take a bit longer to get it set up

• We spend quite a bit of time troubleshooting, so it has had a negative impact on employee efficiency. When there is an issue we have to give them step by step examples of what went wrong so they can re-create it. 8 times out of 10, they can't recreate the issue.
