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…

Automated class reminders have boosted attendance and revenue but notification inbox still needs work
I would suggest a notification inbox feature as a separate channel with WebEngage Customer Data Platform. Let's assume that a user is getting a push notification through an app and you want that particular notification that was triggered a while ago, yesterday, a week back, two days back, or whenever, to be stored in your app's notifications. I think that should be a separate channel rather than a particular feature inside another channel. Notification inbox is not actually a separate feature, though it has been mentioned in the documentation guide as a separate channel. However, it has been treated as an in-house feature of push and web push. If this feature were available as a separate channel with WebEngage, I would have stuck with WebEngage entirely rather than going to any other solution. Regarding metrics, I am able to reach my targets with WebEngage Customer Data Platform. Obviously, it depends on user activity, as some users would be active during certain months and there would be some idle or dull months. During dull months, WebEngage makes sure that I meet my targets at least 85 to 90 percent of the time, which means I have the best service providers and channels coming in. Regarding attendance, there was a lesson drop where the benchmark for lesson one was around 60 percent and for lesson two was around 50 to 55 percent. For lesson three, it was around 50 percent. When we understood the metrics with WebEngage, we discovered that lesson three was falling short by 5 to 10 percent, which was concerning. Since WebEngage was able to share these metrics with me, I was able to create campaigns to ensure people came back and took their lessons for lesson three, getting my attendance back to 50 to 55 percent. From an operations perspective regarding WebEngage Customer Data Platform, I do not find many issues. However, if you do not make up your payments, they keep on pointing out popups that annoy you on every click. If you have not made a payment for WebEngage services and it is overdue, payment reminders will keep popping up, which is annoying. I am not sure if WebEngage can come up with some alternative options to ensure this is not impacting users or organizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to email clients using templates setup in the system."
"The fact that we have been a customer for so long indicates how vital this solution is for our organisation."
"Customer Service: Outstanding, with email, chat and call capabilities even on weekends."
"Every time that we send one out, we will get some kind of response."
"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."
"Customer Service: Very good but I would have liked to have 24 hours accessibility."
"Email marketing is the most valuable aspect."
"WebEngage Customer Data Platform has positively impacted our organization by improving our drop-off users and retention users significantly."
"Whatever we pay for WebEngage, I would say we are getting the most out of it."
"With the amount of data and the analytics that WebEngage Customer Data Platform provides, we are able to create highly targeted campaigns by keeping our customer at the forefront, which has helped us get better ROI and better engagements on our platform, and the customer is able to trust us more now with the amount of personalized data that we are able to provide."
"Companies would choose WebEngage Customer Data Platform because it offers a strong balance of omnichannel engagement, retention, automation, ease of execution, and cost efficiency."
 

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."
"There are certain hiccups in the program that can be improved to make it more user friendly."
"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."
"Could use better search and certain editing traits."
"However, if you do not make up your payments, they keep on pointing out popups that annoy you on every click."
"One major issue that I face is while handling large data segments for creating these workflows."
"WebEngage Customer Data Platform can improve in areas like advanced reporting customization, dashboard simplicity, and enterprise-scale analytics visibility."
"I believe there is still room for improvement on their AI features because sometimes the AI segmentation and timing do not perform as well in A/B testing, as the manual segmentation and timing still deliver better results in terms of click rates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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