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.

"While it has many capabilities it could be more user-friendly."
"They have poor inbox visibility, and many of the emails went to the spam folder."
"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."
"A standalone system for private servers would be ideal."
"Automation workflows have limited trigger options."
"MailChimp should have a better offering for ready made modern templates but this is usually supplied by the community."
"The WYSIWYG editor doesn't work in the email client that IBM uses, so I've had to completely code out the email."
