Standardized our Java estate and have reduced licensing costs while maintaining strong support
Azul Zulu's ability to allow us to standardize our Java estate on a single and well-supported platform stands out as one of its best features. This standardization simplifies our compliance audits and ensures all our applications receive timely security updates.Azul Zulu positively impacts our organization by providing a platform that allows us to standardize Java on a well-supported platform. Without the high cost associated with other proprietary vendors, Azul Zulu provides an excellent platform for running our applications.

Targeted lifecycle journeys have boosted engagement and have improved retention continuously
There is definitely room for improvement in MoEngage. A few challenges and pain points I have experienced include the learning curve for advanced features. Although the basic interface is user-friendly, some advanced capabilities such as complex segmentations, journey logic, and event configuration can present a steeper learning curve. Our new users require training to fully utilize the platform, and debugging complex journeys is not always intuitive. Improvement in guided workflows or more interactive onboarding would help us make better use of MoEngage. While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports. We have noted that exporting and combining data for deeper analysis sometimes requires external tools, so enhancing analytics capabilities or offering more customizable dashboards would significantly add value to the platform. Additionally, we have observed minor delays in real-time data syncing when managing large user volumes, and event-based triggers may occasionally face delays. While these are not major issues, improving real-time responsiveness would strengthen time-sensitive campaigns on our platform. One improvement would be UI/UX enhancements in campaign management because, while the UI is generally clean, managing multiple campaigns and journeys at scale can feel slightly cluttered. Navigating between campaigns and flows can be optimized, and better visualization for complex journeys would help us significantly. A more streamlined interface for large-scale operations would enhance usability. I believe one area for further development could be more advanced AI-driven automation. For example, smarter recommendations for campaign timing, audience selection, or next best actions would be beneficial. While the current predictive features are useful, further maturity would make the platform even more proactive and reduce manual optimization efforts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We achieved specific outcomes from using Azul Zulu by reducing our Java licensing and support costs by approximately 70% when compared to our previous Oracle contract."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"MoEngage's scope as an analytics engine is significant, and I am confident that it will provide insights to product managers to improve their products, and I encourage everyone to try it."
"MoEngage positively impacts my organization as it is one of the core business activities; my marketing team relies heavily on MoEngage to run campaigns and ongoing flows independently."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization by being very user-friendly and providing a dashboard feature that allows me to access data such as app installs without relying on the data teams, making it extremely useful for creating reports and segmenting users effectively."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization by helping me send notifications to active users so they return to the app and place orders again, which has increased my orders, and specifically, we have seen an increased retention rate for our customers and order volume has increased by 20%."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization because the delivery rate from MoEngage is really high, and I receive a very low amount of bounce-back rates and undeliverable email IDs because it has an automatic feature of segregating nullable and invalid email IDs."
"I think we used the user analytics area of MoEngage, which was very good, and there were also some other features such as push notifications, email, SMS, and WhatsApp services, but we did not use those."
"Since I use MoEngage for retargeting, I have achieved a reduction in ROI of approximately 40% on user acquisition costs and cost per lead."
"In my opinion, the best feature that MoEngage offers is a well-designed funnel report with a timeline."
 

Cons

"It needs a better update daemon. At this time the process is manual and could be an issue on multiple desktop deployments."
"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."
"Monthly pricing was approximately two point five lakhs, which I considered a bit high for the amount of data being handled at that time."
"One area where MoEngage could improve is by providing a feature that allows the app to maintain a persistent connection with internal organization servers."
"While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports."
"The one thing that needs to be improved is the customer service itself."
"MoEngage can be improved because although the platform is really user-friendly, it sometimes becomes slow when I click and enter."
"MoEngage can be improved primarily as the reporting is not good, so if I want to see detailed customer information, how many messages I have sent, and what the impact is, those things are not good in MoEngage."
"Regarding MoEngage's AI capabilities, I think there is something to improve."
"I would appreciate if the analytics of MoEngage could be improved in the next releases."
