The filters could be more efficient but the reports are clear and precise.
The filters could be more efficient. For example, when I send a campaign, I usually send it again seven days later. Sometimes, I update the database of emails in-between these mailings, and therefore, I have to re-enter all the filters of the first mailing, and it can take a very long time depending of the campaign.

Good for digital marketing purposes, such as creating and managing email campaigns
Mailchimp could be more user-friendly for setting up WordPress websites. Some of the complex settings can be time-consuming to configure. So, setting up Mailchimp for WordPress websites can be time-consuming for an average user but not necessarily difficult. It's time-consuming, especially when adding custom code to email campaigns. It requires some experience and knowledge to do it effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the time, the reports show that SendinBlue is really efficient."
"Seeing the click rates, i.e., what people are clicking on to gauge what the subscribers to our emails are interested in is the most valuable feature."
"We used to use VerticalResponse but made the switch because we found MailChimp to be easier and faster to work with."
"For those starting out, this free version gives you a very professional look."
"This is the cheapest, simplest and easiest white-listed provider to use."
"There was no email marketing at our company before MailChimp, so this product allowed us to begin email marketing which is less costly and less resource intensive."
"I use Mailchimp for digital marketing purposes, such as creating and managing email campaigns, collecting data, and integrating with WordPress websites."
"Running email campaigns is easy and straightforward."
"MailChimp enables us to manage how the content crosses over and monitors each series or campaign while providing in-depth analytics for each vertical market."
 

Cons

"The filters could be more efficient."
"Its admin interface, particularly for setting up a new campaign, is not the most intuitive."
"Sadly now Mailchimp has started charging for the use of the auto-responder (automation) emails, so it's lost it's edge for the free services."
"MailChimp should have a better offering for ready made modern templates but this is usually supplied by the community."
"MailChimp’s reports on audience engagement are not the most robust."
"I don't have any issues with the service."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"It needs more formatting flexibility, such as the ability to wrap text around photos."
"Customer Service: I really haven’t had to use customer service much but it is only by email which is unfortunate."
