Overall Satisfaction with Emarsys

Emarsys is being used for email marketing in the marketing department.
  • Haven't found anything it does particularly well
  • The email and content builder is significantly worse than other email marketing platforms I've used
  • Emails campaigns cannot be used in more than one automation flow
  • Amount of emails collected and being sent for smart insight are inaccurate
  • I've rarely completed a task without some type of user interface error
  • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
  • You have to pay extra for training
  • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
  • Lengthy contract with a high price tag
  • It's extremely expensive and rigid. Our customer database is growing so it's netting an overall positive ROI.
Emarsys under performs on every possible level. In my first 6 weeks using the system I had 4 ongoing support tickets with system malfunctions. Learning this platform for take a lot of time that is not required by other platforms.

They need to seriously improve the email automation flows and content building screens.
I did not handle the integration. Emarsys was integrated into our Magento system before I started working at my position.
A scenario where Emarsys would do well is at a company where they make simple emails for smaller audiences. Anything outside of routine and simple email marketing including email automation would not be advisable.
