Works great for my marketing team!

This is the end all be all of email campaign management for my medium sized company. We use Dot Digital every single day to track our new leads and put them through our nurture cycle. I can whole heartedly say that without this platform my marketing team would be lost. If you are looking for a way to manage your address books and email campaigns this is where you should stop your search.

PROS

The ability to track your email campaigns Super easy to use overall Ranking leads by email engagement has been critical to our business The ability to export the lists to Excell make marketing meetings a breeze Really great for managing address books and targeting segments

CONS

When you export the data to excel it exports the file to a .csv by default and in this scenario it is possible that you will lose data more often than if the file were exported as .xls file. However, this seems like a very simple fix and may simply be dependent upon user preference and the software your company works with outside of Dot Digital.

Excellent Software for Email Marketing

Overall experience was good. Best software for data testing and sending in email marketing.

PROS

I'm using this software from last 2 years and i found its features very interesting and helpful. It's a brilliant software for customer engagement in digital marketing and email marketing. It's has best feature like messages, data testing, sending to customer, auto replies extra.

CONS

I find the price issue in that software, overall there are some features which should be updated. Hopefully, new version has some new features.

Reason for choosing Dotdigital

I found this more efficient, diligent and helpful over my previous software.

Reasons for switching to Dotdigital

I can't find the software more efficient over dot digital according to my work.

A great platform, if this was 2009 and not 2017

A lesson in vetting platforms that claim to be solutions more thoroughly before proceeding. Other than that, I cannot think of another benefit.

PROS

The analytics on each email campaign. It is nice to get a visual report following the performance of the email campaign.

CONS

Other than the campaign reports, I have a problem with just about everything else with this platform, particularly the customer service but I suppose that that is not the question here. The platform itself is wildly outdated, seemingly by intention because they will offer you custom templates but with an extremely high cost and they will request that you fill out so much information that you've already done half of the work for them. The drag-and-drop feature is not unique in 2017, which I see is the most frequent positive thing others have to say about it, but the fact that there is no auto-save is absolutely absurd. The platform is also buggy when trying to adjust background colors and with editing photos post-upload. Raising issues to customer service only led to them pointing fingers at me for supposedly not knowing how to use the product and not even once led to a solution.

Streamlining Marketing Automation with Dotdigital

Despite the learning curve and pricing drawbacks, I found Dotdigital to be a powerful marketing automation solution that offers everything a business needs to create and execute successful campaigns.

PROS

Dotdigital is an all-in-one marketing automation platform that offers a comprehensive range of features, including email marketing, SMS marketing, automation workflows, and social media marketing.

CONS

One drawback I experienced with Dotdigital is that the learning curve can be steep, and it can take some time to get used to the platform's features and interface.
