I love the service it is simple for people to subscribe. On the back in the analytics are amazing and so easy to understand.

Mailchimp is super easy to use and was a breeze to set up. Everything was very straight forward and the user interface is very nice.

I liked that I had never used any type of service like this before and it made it very simple for my husband and I to reach out to folks who were interested in our business.

I like MailChimp and appreciate its ease of use and slick looking templates, also strong reporting and tracking capabilities.

Mailchimp works great for what it is and is price competitive. This is a great option for the budget conservative mind.

Some legit emails get marked as spam. If too many are marked as spam you run the risk of getting your account suspended or at times deleted.

Their ability to evolve in useful ways — mobile app, education program, email to postcards, etc — is what we like most, for sure, and why we stay with and recommend Mailchimp to others.

I love that I can create great looking emails with such ease. It has made a huge difference in my ability to communicate with my clients and two do connected drip marketing.

Mailchimp, is an excellent cost effective solution for sending out mass emails to customers. It has great capability for both the tech savvy and non-tech savvy users.

The customization feature allows you to create colorful and creative emails that are appealing to the eye. The scheduling feature is super helpful to plan out communications.

And allows for an all in one solution. The reporting is as good as it gets, most of their tools are free and the interface is super easy to use for editing purposes.

Customer support was terrible and when i misunderstood how to use the platform they terminated the relationship because of spam.

Mailchimp was very good and allowed my own business to grow and become stable. With a good website and domain making it stand out.

I love the ease of use ability to integrate with various platforms and ability to check daily on our growth.

Mailchimp has been great with keeping in contact with members of the community, providing important updates when needed.

The software is easy to use, it has great pricing and free services to get started. It allows you to see who is engaging in your emails and who is not, great design tools.

We use Mailchimp for all our drip and sales promo campaigns. We are a small company just getting our footing so having such an awesome tool to help us spread the word is a great benefit for us.

The concept is nice for large outreach and marketing emails. I was hoping to use this also as a customer service piece when reminding existing clients of upcoming maintenance.

Mailchimp is the perfect, entry-level system, for people that are just starting out. It is easy to use, great price (including a free version).

It came with free trial which helps to convince my company to use it. It has a great feature  and user interface that helps even any one new to email marketing to start with.

Easy to develop on using API, amazing possibility to up sell products via integrated marketing tools and integrations with e-commerce, brilliant list management features and click tracking.

I was quite frustrated with the fact that I had no assistance at all and it created a bad experience for me as a new user.

This price is outrageous. Also, they do not give you an option to not pay for the features you do not use.

The customization and integration of this software is great. Also, the easy of sending weekly and monthly newsletters is awesome.

We feel we get excellent value for money with this product.

In addition, it is possible to retrieve the correct data from TOPdesk. Furthermore, the TOPdesk developers are continuously working on improving the product.

TOPdesk is a quality solution, supported by quality people and at a very affordable price.

Very specific pointed towards the IT world, such as for a printer defect. But not the ideal solution for a more general type of ITSM application.

No drag and drop for adding files to incidents.

We currently use Incident, Problem, Change and Operations Management successfully and are very excited about continuing to improve our processes with such a knowledgeable partner at our side.

TOPdesk is a good placeholder for tracking and maintaining customer updates & items in process.

Form designer is a bit limited and the advanced custom form development tool is difficult to use. A couple of elements of the product still need to be administered via an external tool.

TOPdesk is very easy to use. The software is full of useful functionalities.

Everything you need voor your incident, change and problem processes.

This prompted our work to be postponed for a couple of weeks. Months after, we sometimes have stimuli that just don't work well.

Changes are therefore made in no time. You also have the option to generate reports.

Wise to ask for a demo to help you decide, which is the best for your requirements.

Finally, I love the fact that the search feature is very dynamic and very fast which enables analysts to search very quick for a ticket.

The restriction to just 2 levels of an item. E.g. Main and Sub Category, Branch and Sub Branch.

TOPdesk has been a great asset enabling us to improve our customer service.

The customer support is excellent. The API enables you to build incorporations into other tools without dependence on marketplace applications.

The creation of tickets and the overal feel of topdesk isn't too difficult. Also the automatic importing of mails is a nice feature.

It helps businesses offer the best services to their consumers.

The worst part about topdesk, is learning how to use it.

Very good work done by TOPdesk leaves me in no doubt that it is one of the best companies currently in the field of help desks.

The User Interface with both self-service terminals and the manager portals is new, and we also like how recommended information articles appear instantly when an event happens.

One weakness, developing workflow-based email prompts is very complicated and time taking. Our implementation representative also had a rough time setting it up the trigger points to deal with.

This was a very big jump from our previous Service Desk management tool. It is very fast, has many features, is easy to use and has many different escalation routes.

The API provides an easy way for bulk updates to items in TopDesk to be applied.

It provides spectacular functions that allow you easily customizable construction. The interface is very intuitive.

It is probably best suited for smaller companies without a need to advanced routing. TOPdesk looks to be continuing to develop more modules.

This has been a great innovation and development. Great customer support, which is really important.

From 1st visit to build to launch everything was so professional. Everyone I spoke to was an excellent ambassador for the company.

Easy to use and gets you a clear overview over support cases.

No 24hr clock when regional setting is set to GMT.

The deadline function is also super helpful as it allows you to see when something needs to be seen to urgently.

The support team encourage you to adapt the system to complete new activities they have not as of yet thought of. The API and flows support built in by default make this a very powerful system.

The ability to have a self service portal and knowledge bases are great features we are building on a lot. The imeplementation was very good, straightforward, simple and no post implementation issues.

TopDesk is easy to use and easy to get other teams up and running using it. We also find it easy to admin.
