Overall Satisfaction with Braze

I use Braze at my organization to engage and communicate with users on our mobile app. With some of the tools that Braze offers, I can encourage users to become active, remind them to complete onboarding, and share important updates such as product changes, news, or revised terms and conditions. Braze helps solve our challenge of staying connected with users through email and push notifications, especially since our app doesn’t have a built in-app notification center.

Pros

  • Email targeting and timely notifications
  • In-app content cards
  • Tracking events tied to each communication channel
  • Audience segmentations and attributions

Cons

  • Enabling GIF/videos to be directly uploaded on to Braze's platform
  • Easier way of creating canvases; right now it is too complex for someone new who is starting off in the company to understand what things do and where things are
  • Ability to track duplicate user profiles within the entire audience segment
  • Automated deduplicating email addresses/phone numbers in each targeting segment; right now it's done manually after extracting csv files
  • Increased user engagement on the app
  • Higher conversion rates for in-app engagement
  • Reduced churn for users
  • User winback from churned users
I've recently learned how to use Braze through working at my current company, and it was tricky to navigate, especially with canvases. I would say that creating campaigns and content cards have been easy to use and understand, which was fantastic. But I'm still learning about how to properly set up canvases and make modifications without messing up what is already set up. If there was an AI tooling to help me understand the purpose of the canvas and what it's potentially doing based on the parameters set up, that would help someone who has never used Braze before to learn even quicker.
Using Braze has had a measurable impact on how we engage and retain our users. The platform’s cross-channel functionality allows us to reach users through email, push, and in-app messaging, making sure that we stay connected even without an in-app notification center. Segmentation has enabled us to tailor communications to different user groups, which increases relevance and drives higher engagement during onboarding and beyond. With journey orchestration, we can guide users through personalized paths, such as reminders to complete onboarding or nudges to become more active, which resulted in stronger adoption and reduced churn. Also, real-time data integration and streaming helped us react quickly to user behavior, making our messaging more timely and impactful.
Braze offers stronger tutorials and more flexible personalization and targeting options compared to other platforms I’ve used. While other tools included some of the same features, they were harder to learn because of limited tutorials or confusing UX/UI. Many of them also used company-specific terminology, which made onboarding difficult. In contrast, Braze uses straightforward, user-friendly language, making it much easier to understand and adopt.

Braze is well suited for providing any updates to users or retargeting them based on their past behaviors. This is one of the more robust platform that I have used and something that is incredibly automated. Prior to using Braze, I've had to extract audience segments manually and analyze them prior to strategizing which behaviors to prioritize. But Braze does this really well and it's a lot easier to use. It's less appropriate to use if you want to use a more comprehensive emailing platform if you have animations or videos that you want to use. For example, I had to launch a new product for my company and I've created animation GIFs to help users understand where the product lives in the app visually. But, given that Braze has very limited functionality when it comes to uploading GIF or videos, I had to swap out these animations for more static images.
