It enables me to create and manage an auto-responder series along with list growth management tools.
The goal is to continue to engage with my list. Keeping in touch with new and potential customers helps stay "on top of mind" when needing services.  Just like the name states, it has allowed me to stay in "constant contact" with my subscribers. The most valuable features are creating and…

Event tracking has transformed how we understand user journeys and improve product decisions
RudderStack provides a platform to ensure product quality and understand user behavior, allowing us to improvise and optimize our product. The tracking plan feature provides an optimized version of the events in a semantic way, which is very helpful. The default attributes such as page attributes, page properties, operating system properties, context traits, and user traits are also major aspects we use across events. Overall, RudderStack is a good tool. Additionally, I believe that organizations not using the high-price version of RudderStack should have access to the event audit API, which I consider one of the most fantastic features that every organization should have to track their events. A basic versioning of the event audit API or allowing stakeholders to upload event schemas via CSV to the tracking plan would be very helpful, but the tracking plan feature itself is fantastic. The best feature RudderStack offers is the analytics over the past two days, past seven days, past 30 days, or however much event volume has occurred in those windows. Other major features include the tracking plan feature, the code-generation feature, and the event audit API feature, all of which are very helpful across RudderStack. The best feature I rely on the most in my daily work is the volume of events in a specific time window, which I check every two hours during working hours. This feature gives me an idea of how my website is performing, the traffic flow during working hours, and alerts me if something breaks based on the event volume. RudderStack has positively impacted our organization by opening the door to tracking user journeys across the platform, understanding user performance and behavior, and assessing how well our product is doing. It helps us measure the impact of different features on our product. RudderStack has helped us reduce errors by revealing where users get stuck in their journeys, allowing us to improve our product and reduce manual efforts. If we understand user performance, we can optimize our product to reduce friction at key success points.

Pros

"Every time that we send one out, we will get some kind of response."
"Customer Service: Outstanding, with email, chat and call capabilities even on weekends."
"Every email I send, gets people to click on something or contact me, and it works."
"The fact that we have been a customer for so long indicates how vital this solution is for our organisation."
"Email marketing is the most valuable aspect."
"Just like the name states, it has allowed me to stay in "constant contact" with my subscribers."
"It is fun to design your newsletter based on the content you would like to deliver."

Cons

"When I started using Constant Contact creating email was very flaky, in terms of crashes and usability (perhaps compared to Weebly etc.). It has improved, however, still needs improvement and email creation still seems clunky and limited compared to other online solutions or website building tools."
"All Constant Contact wants to do is keep you on a monthly subscription, so if you only want to send out emails on a quarterly basis you must either pay every month you do not use the product, or you must cancel your subscription and then re-open an account every quarter."
"Sometimes, you will be typing in a text box and hit the backspace, but the website will think you meant to go back a page. Basically, you end up losing work when this happens and it is hard to predict."
"There are certain hiccups in the program that can be improved to make it more user friendly."
"Could use better search and certain editing traits."
"Sometimes, you will be typing in a text box and hit the backspace, but the website will think you meant to go back a page. Basically, you end up losing work when this happens and it is hard to predict."
"RudderStack should work on its sync time; currently, the minimum sync time for injecting data into warehouses is about 30 minutes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is fair, and you end up making enough in sales to pay for it."
