Cordial: the good, the bad, but no ugly

Pros and Cons

  • Simple nav and layout of the tool: Messages, Automation, Content, Contacts, Data, Analytics.
  • Real-time updates of events and customer preferences.
  • Cordial team is excellent at building relationships and is quick to respond.
  • It's easy to research problems, use the tool, build using includes and excludes.
  • Difficult to aggregate data both in reporting and combining multiple lists or events.
  • No specification on errors.
  • A/B multivariate testing isn't simple. A user needs to be technically savvy since the campaign and blocks are created using HTML.
  • Ability to randomize an audience but not prioritize, split an audience based on percentage or total, or cap an audience.
  • A contact must be a Cordial user to receive a test or see content/creative.
  • No way to archive messages.

Cordial Messaging Platform Review

Pros and Cons

  • Provides helpful desktop and mobile previews.
  • Sends emails reliably.
  • Allows for pretty robust audience rules.
  • Unreliable toggle between production and stage environment. Says it is in "Stage" when you are really in "production" and vice versa.
  • Non-intuitive process/interface to search for "contact data".
  • Poor process for getting Stage drafts into Production drafts. You essentially have to rebuild them which can introduce errors, rather than just an "export" feature that would move a draft automatically.
  • Message reports will add/remove days when you select a time range and export a report. For example, if your custom date range is "March 1 - March 31" you will get something like "March 2- March 30" in your exported report. You have to overcompensate by using a range like "February 28 - April 1".

Cordial service and bold performance that keeps getting better

Pros and Cons

  • Robust analytics and real-time reporting.
  • Event-based trigger messages and an exceptional drip campaign building tool.
  • Championing content through A/B and MVT testing with machine learning.
  • Great service from your dedicated CSM.
  • Dynamic Content.
  • Some of the tasks on the platform are still technical in nature and often requires the help of a developer or technical marketer. But I've witnessed great strides towards accessibility and ease of use for non-technical marketers over the past three years.
  • A lot of the templating must be built from scratch.
  • Deliverability insights (out of the box) could be expanded further.

You're "Cordially" invited to try one of the most easiest to use email sending platform.

Pros and Cons

  • The UI is very clean and simple. Allow for easy navigation.
  • The sculpt tool in Cordial allows for easy email creation.
  • Micro-interactions on the platform can be improved. (i.e. search functionality is delayed and causes the screen to refresh with each key stroke).
  • The Sculpt tool doesn't provide standard templates/blocks. They all need to be made from scratch.
