Campaign Monitor Software

Pros

The data that CM is able to extract is pretty elaborate. Helps seeing the performance of campaigns and how to plan them better.

Cons

Wasn’t very crazy about the UI/UX. For the price we paid I would have expected something better and friendlier to use.

Pros

I had been experimenting with different solutions to help me keep in touch with my customers. Campaign Monitor was the most professional looking. I like how easy it is to import contact lists and how I'm able to add email addresses to the do not contact list if necessary. I would definitely recommend Campaign Monitor for those without much experience launching online/email campaigns, it is user friendly.

Cons

It would be great if you could build visual workflows for the marketing campaigns and set up triggers for those workflows. But the journeys they have in place are not bad.

Pros

I used Campaign Monitor at my last job. I liked that it was built for web savvy marketers. My current employer uses MailChimp which is "accessible", but not nearly as powerful as Campaign Monitor.

Cons

Campaign Monitor was a harder sell to my bosses. They were more familiar with MailChimp, but familiarity shouldn't trump the right decision; but it did.

Pros

So easy to use, it’s not even possiable to access the HTML or SQL. Anyone can pick this tool up easy.

Cons

Usually you compromize ease of use for robust, advanced features. But, there’s not too many issues with this. Sometimes I have to be creative, but I have always made it work. I hope to see more on the automated program features - like being able to exclude if they’re on another list.

Pros

Easily send mass emails to customers and prospective customers, all quickly and professionally. Particularly I like the interface design.

Cons

It is difficult to find cons in Campaign Monitor. In general, all is well but I think it's a little expensive.

Pros

The overall quality of the software is good. It is easy to use and implement. The best features of this software is the collections of the email template that is very effective and help us to get more responses. We can easily personalize the emails.

Cons

It is a good tools for those who are having good knowledge in coding but can be difficult for the users who are not expert in coding. It lacks some of the features than other similar softwares like Sales force's Marketing Cloud.

Pros

I've been using Campaign Monitor for two years already. It's efficient, great for tracking and it's not fully integrated in our email marketing strategy.
It's simple and straight-forward and compared to other similar platforms, it's great value for money.

Cons

Some other platforms are more competitive on pricing, but i always found that Campaign Monitor was my preferred email marketing platform.

Pros

Started using Campaign Monitor after a thorough search of competitors, and chose it and one more. CM is robust, offering many campaign options and integrations. It was a bit of a learning curve for me but for those who are already familiar with this sort of thing they won't have any issues.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve to get up to speed on their ecosystem. Sometimes the interface can be a bit choppy, but effective overall.

Pros

I feel like I've tested nearly all of the email marketing software out there and Campaign Monitor is easily one of the best options out there. Great UI/UX, easy to use, and lots of integrations and templates. Highly recommended!

Cons

Getting used to the software was really the only small issue some of our team ran into. I was pretty used to Mailchimp and SendGrid so getting used to this wasn't too much of an issue. There is also lots of online tutorials and they have quality customer services as well.

Pros

We are just beginning to work with this tool but until now I really like its features, it is very intuitive and makes it easy to create email campaigns.

Cons

Although I have little time using it, I still do not see any flaws, maybe they could add more templates options, in general I think it's excellent

Pros

Using this Application / Software is a very great choice that I have made in my career. So much useful for my career.

Pros

I have found campaign monitor very easy to use and love the fact that you can add edge to edge photos.

Pros

This platform is great for agencies or freelancers who want to set clients up to send their own emails but you make a percentage which you determine with every send they executed. It is also easy to set up the templates with basic html code.

Cons

The customer service would be the one con as it took forever to get a response the one time I needed it.

It's a simple, friendly and very effective way to send mails.

Pros

This software has very nice templates and relatively easy to implement, the functions and features are so good that the beginner can shortly send out an eye popping email.

Cons

Building and maintaining email distribution lists isn't the best feature I've seen, I think that it could be better.

Was able to send out mass marketing emails and got terrific responses from my customers. Little did they know that my secret weapon was this here software.

Pros

Very nice interface, easy to learn and use, and you can easily customize lists based on your customer profiles.

Cons

Functionality is a tad limited and I would have liked more customization options or templates in the designs.

Pros

everytime i get a business card at a networking event i enter them into my campaign monitor database. i use this for low touch personalized outreach so people don't forget me

Cons

it's a little difficult to get campaign monitor working out of the box compared to other tools like mailchimp and constant contact

Cheap newsletters.

Pros

Sends very (VERY) basic eNewsletters. Pricing is based on number of enewsletter sent, so it's basically pay-as-you-go which may be good for customers with limited budgets.

Probably best for small companies or organizations, not sending many newsletters, needing little customization, and not doing much marketing tracking.

Cons

Very few template or customization options. Extremely clunky editing widgets. Terrible customer service when help was requested setting up a new template. I received a response that was basically "Well I can do it, so the problem is clearly yours."

The data reports from the newsletters were very limited. Process for sending was very manual. Had to upload new lists (via excel) of recipients each time, for every newsletter sent.

It makes it easy for us to send emails to our list of 200,000+ subscribers. While the features are basic, and we want to see more advanced controls and segmentation features added, it's a stable system.

Pros

Extremely solid and reliable ESP. Doesn't go down often, and there are minimal issues with deliverability. The features are basic, but solid and there aren't many bugs.

Cons

There's a strong lack of features. For example, there are no simple ways to send emails to an unopened segment. There's also no way to easily clean/prune inactive email subscribers. And third, there are limitations on automation triggers.

Pros

The worldview it's fun right? Now, for things that matter more: it has nice templates and relatively easy to implement. Customization could be improved. In the end if you get the job done, coming in than all it's left for you to do is watch those people opening your emails on worldview while siping your favorite drink, eh? ;)

Cons

There is room to improve the template customization and email segmentation. The way contacts are calculated for billing purposes is not ideal.

I am able to create beautiful email campaigns in a very little amount of time.

Pros

This software has brought my mail campaigns to life. All of the emails I have made stand out beautifully. I try not to get too crazy with my decorations but overall they look much more professional.

Cons

There was definitely a learning process when I first started. I had expected this tool to be much easier. Granted I am not the most computer savvy.
