Targeted journeys have boosted engagement and support teams track user behavior daily
CleverTap helps in enhancing the user experience, increasing engagement, and keeping track of events, for example, which user clicked which event and what actions took place. It even notices which services have not been used for a long time and reminds about it. The analytics is good, and the communication made by CleverTap through emails and SMS is effective. Additionally, push notifications are great, and the segmentation of customers is excellent, including Omnichannel journeys. CleverTap has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement, increasing activation and reactivation. I have seen a plus 30% open rate for push notifications, a plus 3% conversion rate, and a 20% return on investment for growth.

Improves our marketing efficiency in a consolidated platform, with features such as behavior-based email triggers
Interface and design consistency are my two significant cons for this platform. Like most, once you know the platform and its interface, you can be very successful. There is no difference here except that the design process between creating emails, pages, and forms all have their unique process. I believe it would improve user efficiency if the page and email creator, for instance, had a standard procedure and the same layout of tools. The platform has a lot of features with more coming, so you have to know where all the pieces are between the settings, marketing, and sales menu layout.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization because we were able to increase activation metrics like match start and match completion rates by 18 and 29%, respectively, and we saw an increase in our Play Store ratings, but beyond that, we could not continue our initiatives due to the Unity integration issue."
"Before using CleverTap, our sales last month were 57 lakhs, and when we started using CleverTap, the sales automatically increased to 97 lakhs, which is a huge number."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as we use it to send communications and generate better revenue from targeting users through various channels."
"CleverTap has been really useful for me, and I think I don't need to add anything more."
"With the help of CleverTap's decision-making AI, CleverAI, we are able to easily improve our overall customer retention by 25 percent."
"Since I started using CleverTap, I have seen some improvements, especially because it has been very efficient and perfect for my organization."
"From my experience, CleverTap is doing exceptional work."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as it helped me to increase my leads volume."

"We can trigger emails and actions based on their behaviors, which is very beneficial."
"With this product, we are able to do so much more with our marketing."
 

Cons

"CleverTap can be improved as their pricing needs to be lower because I think that CleverTap is one of the pricey platforms in the CRM field."
"I intend to use CleverTap extensively for a campaign, but there are constraints with many features not up to mark or due to broken features."
"I would recommend improving the website loading time because whenever I open the CleverTap website to see my dashboard data, it takes a bit of time."
"One area where I feel there could be improvement is the ease of use for non-technical teams."
"CleverTap can be improved by adding some basic functionality to journeys that would allow me to target dynamically previous users who have visited the homepage but have not made a purchase in the last 15 days, as there is currently no way to communicate with them dynamically, only a static base is available."
"One area of improvement I would suggest for CleverTap can be on the user interface; it is not very user-friendly."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"Customer service is good, but the Netcore Smartech team should strive for improving it further. EMM customer service was far better than Smartech customer service as Smartech needs better coordination between Netcore back end teams, which needs to be improved."
"Interface and design consistency are my two significant cons for this platform."
