    Surprised by the ease-of-use and intelligence!

    I'm a marketing analyst in a medium-size company.. We were looking for a marketing software that can handle our e-mail marketing requirements as well as create intelligent customer reports.. While researching, I stumbled upon a discussion on 'FirstHive' on reddit.. I took a free trial of the product and executed couple of campaigns.. i was surprised to see how easy it was to design a cool looking email from the existing templates... trigger it and see results in real-time.. I know it has nothing to do with 'open rates' but it's true that our email open rates are better now.. Beside email-marketing, it has SMS marketing and Social Media Marketing too.. all in the same license fee.. We stopped using Hootsuite and migrated all our social media activities on FirstHive.. Now, we have customer insights from all the channels curated into one dashboard.. It made a lot of sense for us to keep using FirstHive, since similar other product was costing us four times more.. and I'll recommend to all marketers.. for $50 a month, it's worth a shot!

    Pros:
    the features are great, some great not relevant to me yet, but got me thinking on those lines, which helped my business goals. the campaign creations are seamless and easy to track, the single view dashboard is a great feat in this software. they provide analytics based on unique customer behavior and pattern on different campaigns and different medium which is very insightful. has added advantage of targeting members in India and outside India. Creating duplication of campaigns is also a nice feature helps my team save a lot of time on repeated campaigns.
    Cons:
    UI can be more interactive email templates options are not much, can add GIF format as well. irrelevant dashboard should not show up if we dont have data to populate the same.

    Pros:
    The ease at which you check the analytics. The ease at which you are allowed to revisit the HTML mailer, do multiple edits before you do the actual broadcast. It also has an amazing feature of giving me indepth userwise website usage analytics.
    Cons:
    It doesn't allow me to download the bounced email id list. That becomes a bit inconvenient. They should give a download option.

    Been using this software for the last couple of months for my company's marketing. Liked the fact that I can use the email marketing features along with managing my facebook page from the same application. Was using multiple applications for this till now. Also liked the customer service. Had a issue with my billing, one chat with the support rep resolved my issue. 5 stars

    FirstHive was recommended to me by a friend. I signed-up for trial version and after couple of days bought an annual license. It works like three software in one. We use for direct emails and newsletters, sms campaigns and also social media management. What is amazing is their customer reports and insights. Helps a lot in designing campaign. People are nice too.
