Great campaign & channel management tool for marketers

Difficult to use, but a good complete marketing tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cheetah DMS is being used by the online department as a central hub for online marketing and communication. The main advantage is the multiplicity of services it provides as well as the A/B testing methodology and in-depth reporting the platform provides. It helps us identify users that we impacted via different channels on a single hub.

Pros

  • It offers social media tracking, which is a big competitive advantage against its rivals.
  • Email targeting options are better than MailChimp.
  • Good price.

Cons

  • The support team is not good.
  • It is not easy to use at first, there is a learning curve.
  • User-interface can be improved, as it is a bit confusing.

Return on Investment

  • It has raised costs due to its price, reducing ROI.
  • However, we have gotten good results and great CPAs with them, improving margins.
  • It has allowed us to be faster on testing, improving ROI in the long term.

Good delivery system, average analytics features

Pros

  • Internal management - This is a great web-based tool that allows our users to see what emails go to whom.
  • Organization - Many layers of organization for templates since there are many types of remarketing emails that we send out.
  • Historical Records - CheetahMail sends us the raw text files of all email actions so we can upload them to our database.

Cons

  • Missing column values in the historical records sent are sometimes missing and have to be fixed by Cheetah and resent to us.
  • There are many email ids that are not correctly passed in our own web data and there is some struggle finding the correct email that lead to web data.

Return on Investment

  • Web-based customers have gone up.
  • Though the customers have gone up, we don't see a significant increase in our policies sold.
  • Communicating with CheetahMail is also fair when having to debug problems, which is good but there are a bunch of problems with some emails that lead to communication in the first place.
