We are extremely happy with our partnership with Sailthru and I am a big fan. My only reservation in recommending unconditionally would be for the resources available at your company. Although non-technical users can use the platform with ease, to maximize utilization (and justify the cost), strong tech resources are preferable. Ease of use for integrations, APIs, and data management are spoken of highly by our tech teams, but organizations without those resources should plan for their need.

Sailthu is perfectly suited, no matter what level of technical skill you have or support from an Engineering team. That said, it includes many advanced features which can only be fully utilized when integrated with custom webhooks and after receiving customer data sent via their APIs. There may be easier solutions out there for less technical users or for people wanting a simpler setup to begin with.

While Sailthru has the core competencies and platform to do email marketing, it's overly complicated and has a very poor user interface that most new to intermediate marketers may find challenging to use. Compared to a Klaviyo that is extremely user friendly, easy to use, and very straight forward. Sailthru reps are also not very helpful and debatably have more knowledge than a user would.

Sailthru is great to manage all of your email campaigns. They have an easy-to-use visual editor for all of your automated designs. They focus only on emails and do a good job at it. I would not use Sailthru if you are looking for an all-in-one marketing solution such as Marketo, HubSpot, etc. Sailthru is not ideal for small businesses as it is very expensive software.

Sailthru is well suited for any company that is working with a large email subscriber list and needs to send campaigns on a daily basis. It is probably less appropriate for anyone with a small list, or an e-commerce brand. I think there are better ESPs out there for e-commerce brands.

Not good as a fully implemented web content management system. Good as a supplementary system to further build an audience. Not good as a fully implemented web content management system. Good as a supplementary system to further build an audience.

Sailthru is well suited for anyone who needs to provide detailed and accurate reporting to clients or team members. It is less appropriate when you are looking specifically for impressions and clicks, because we usually have to use OpenX to generate that information.

Sailthru does allow you to customize your preferences through coding to have the layout you desire. But there are many glitches that come with Sailthru in testing our newsletters. Things are delayed or do not transfer over well -- leading to the operations team having to test things multiple times when it should only take one try.

SailThru is great for a straight forward implementation of a email provider for merchant based operations. I believe it would do very well for users who are looking to salvage abandoned carts or market to others according to previous behavior. It falls short for publishers who long to for a deeper understanding of their userbase that don't have to make sale conversions. We're looking for specifics on behavior and trends over time and never truly discovered that information.

Sailthru is a perfect platform for any media and publishing company out there. If you are looking to provide your newsletter subscribers with a personalized experience based on their behavioral attributes, this is the platform that will enable you to get it done. Their Horizon functionality coupled with their Zephyr programming language allows for full flexibility when coding/developing creatively.

Great platform for e-commerce as it connects easily with external sales data and automatic triggered emails sent to users in all parts of the sales funnel are a simple setup.
Not the best platform if you're looking to send to large lists repeatedly, you could accomplish this with a less robust tool.

It's well suited to marketers who are capable of building or bringing along their own templates, rather than relying on a WYSIWYG editor or template library provided by the vendor.
There seem to be fewer safe guards and less hand-holding in terms of best practices, which many can appreciate, but it could be a problem if the platform is to be used by a large number of people across disparate departments.

Sailthru is great for any company that is looking to move up from an entry level email service provider like MailChimp. It does require quite a bit more engineering work than MailChimp, but the payoff is well worth it. Their support team is also top notch and quick to respond to all queries.

If Sailthru could fix their reliability issues and provide more customer-focused support, their tool would be awesome. But since those issues are critical for every kind of usage or companies, I could not recommend this tool.

Overall, I have few if any real complaints with Sailthru. I believe it is exceptionally well suited from an Ad Operations perspective as it allows for users to easily access open and delivered information.

Key questions would be:

1. What do you intend to use Sailthru for?
2. Do you plan on regularly gathering statistics from Sailthru?
3. What are the ideal metrics you could collect from Sailthru?

Sailthru is well suited to B-to-C email marketing, similar to how Marketo is well suited for B-to-B marketing.

During the selection process, I would ask specific questions on how one's existing CRM database would work with Sailthru, as well as how one's website would integrate with the dynamic content feeds available in Sailthru.

I would think the person using SailThru needs at least a year of experience in email marketing to utilize SailThru. This mostly has to do with the UI as well as the high level of functionality that beginners would not use (Vars, A/B testing, If statements within coding). The person has to do more than just general email blasts.
