Overall Satisfaction with Campaign Monitor

Solving email marketing automation and updates back into SalesForce. Campaign Monitor (CM) allows us to send email without having to resort to using Outlook. Its always surprising to me how many businesses still use Outlook to send outbound marketing email.

While CM's email servers tend to not be as widely accepted by other businesses we market to, their support does do their best to help figure out what went wrong with hard bounces from blocked servers.

List/subscribers are easy to use and add/delete contacts from. Support is very good and responds quickly. Many plugins for other platforms.

I would also point out that the way that campaign stats are presented is not quite there as well. Would like some deeper dive ability to zoom in and out on a campaign.

  • CM is a great budget platform to use for outbound email.
  • Overall CM is a good company and easy to work with. They have great support but fall short in only a few areas. Would be a good starting out platform to use.
  • Email template editor is awful. Not as bad as say MS Dynamics CRM... But its more difficult than MailChimp. This is mainly my biggest pain point with CM.
  • I would say overall a positive impact. Positive that we have the service but there are also others that would be better.
Campaign Monitor is at the bottom of the list. Our department had selected the service prior to my employment.
If you have a large list you need to run through and validate, this is a good service. Pretty easy in import and export lists. Not too great for segmenting lists, there are better services that make it easier and more impactful.
