If there was a proper journey simulation mode where you could walk a test customer through a journey and see exactly what they would experience and when, that would dramatically reduce the time we spend on quality assurance before launch and the mistakes that slip through.

Segmentation rules could be significantly better, as from my experience with ten or more marketing automation tools, Iterable has limited options to create segments, which should be addressed immediately.

Sales and Marketing Specialist at Unilever
Advanced customer journeys have boosted segmentation and now deliver more relevant campaigns
The best features Blueshift offers in my experience are customer data management and segmentation, intuitive and easy-to-use UI, quick and efficient customer support, and an intuitive user-friendly interface that allows me to manage complex data easily. Blueshift also offers robust features such as integration with Segment and other apps, retargeting with dynamic content pulled from data feeds and catalogs. Out of those features, I find myself relying on the customer segments and recommendation tool in Blueshift the most day-to-day because it has helped with automating and personalizing our tags. I would also add that the predictive score is very useful. Blueshift has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to launch triggered marketing campaigns targeted to specific segments based on users' behaviors on-site and deliver relevant personalized content using the AI-based recommendations tool.

Marketing team has automated personalized lifecycle emails and now creates more engaging campaigns
The best features Iterable offers are automation and simplicity in use. Iterable is dynamic and allows us to engage customers at all stages of the customer journey. Iterable has allowed our customer communication to be automated. With thousands of customers, the ability to automate email communication has saved our team incredible amounts of time. While Iterable is used largely by our marketing team, we do have individuals who are less tech-savvy with limited coding experience, yet confident in navigating the platform. Iterable is very user-friendly and has maintained its simplicity. Iterable has saved our team an incredible amount of time and manual labor through automation of emailing. With the creative and engaging content created in Iterable, customers are more likely to engage than previously, hence increasing customer engagement. We have saved between sixty to seventy percent of our time through automation. Iterable has allowed us to automate email campaigns to customers by planning a series of emails six months prior to their delivery.
