We've been using Real Magnet for years. We're on the road to integrating it with our Abila AMS. We just need to get more of our staff up to speed and use Real Magnet to its full capability. (I also really really enjoy the staff who have been with Real Magnet for years - so helpful and knowledgable and friendly)

Pros

New interface /Zones/color templates are so helpful
Easy to create and review responsive design
Dynamic content makes changing up the messaging and segmenting so much easier
tracking results is helpful
ability to link to social media saves staff time

Cons

Uncertainty about the future of the product. Subscription set up (unsubscribes) take great planning.

Pros

The marketing automation tools are very helpful

Cons

There could be a bit better ease of use.

If you use iMIS, it is really great to integrate and have updated mailing lists. the flexibility with WYSIWYG creator for messages is also pretty great.

Pros

We use this software mainly because it is the only one we've found that integrates with iMIS. Our groups populate each day so our messages go to our updated membership. The amount of flexibility to message creation is the best!

Cons

its not that user friendly, the social media aspect is clunky and doesn't work properly for twitter. It is very difficult to get things written back correctly to your database.

Pros

The support team is top notch and they are always able to assist me in whatever challenges that I run into. The staff is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. I have used other email marketing platforms and Real Magnet's ease of use and analytics are a step above.

We've used Real Magnet for years to market our continuing education courses and legal publications. I can't imagine using anything else. It is easy to use and has strong reporting and tracking capabilities. When we've needed it, the customer service is instantaneous. Where can you get that these days? Can't recommend Real Magnet enough.

I can't say enough about my relationship with RealMagnet going on 6+ years.

With over 20 Million emails sent I am a fan of everything RealMagnet!

I strongly recommend them... Great user support as well! To me that is the differentiator between okay, and just phenomenal! They are phenomenal!

We have used Real Magnet for nearly 5 years, and it has been a great experience. I have found the interface to be intuitive and the platform to be unflinchingly reliable. Further, RM's template creation tools, database integrations, and array of reporting options have provided great value. Of equal importance, support staff and developers are highly responsive and adaptable to our changing needs.

We have used Real Magnet for seven or eight years and have found the platform to be reliable, flexible and responsive. When were facing deliverability challenges with a major provider, their team worked hard to help us improve that ... And at the same time, small details are always addressed quickly at support. The flexibility of templates for inexperienced users and the ability to import raw code for others suits our needs perfectly.

Our organization has used Real Magnet (RM) for more than a decade and I personally have 4 plus years experience with the software. Its CMS is intuitive and straightforward.

Their staff is also extremely helpful and patient. I can attest that they are always doing their best to find solutions to our organization's challenges.

As a DC association insider, I hear all the rumors about Real Magnet. Having been their (very happy) client for several years, I am uniquely positioned to set the record straight. So, here are the answers to your burning questions.

Q. Are there really zombie spam trapper bots who will devour your online reputation?
A. TRUE. There are. And Real Magnet (RM) will slay them for you.

Q. Is it true that RM employees never sleep?
A. Hard to say. They answer the phone whenever I call, so I'm inclined to believe this one.

Q. Will there be a tribute to RM at this year's Super Bowl?
A. False. That honor goes to David Bowie, but you may hear his music if you sign up for RMUG 2016!

Q. Are Canadians really different from the rest of us?
A. TRUE. And if you don't know how, you better ask RM before you send out any big mailings.

Q. Is RM idiot-proof?
A. True... I've tested this personally.

Q. Do you need to stay up nights worrying about deliverability issues?
A. FALSE. Let the non-sleeping RM employees do that for you!

Q. Is Catherine Curtin a direct descendant of Jesus Christ?
A. Cannot confirm or deny, but she has saved me more than once!

They also offer an enterprise-level solution that's ideal for a large company like ours, giving us the ability to create multiple accounts for various business lines and provide access (at varying levels) to numerous employees. Nonetheless, there are improvements that could be made, such as making responsive email templates and streamlining the back-end processes of creating, sending and tracking an email.

Great Marketing Automation, Interface. Unparalleled customer support. We are now in the process of setting up a site popover will drop visitors' emails directly into a Marketing Automation drip campaign. Next step is an ip tracking tool so we can marry a visitor's browsing history to their email once they register. Good stuff. Good people at a fraction of the cost of the enterprise solutions.
