Cost effective communication solution that has added value to our projects by facilitating automated and ad hoc customer communication
Reporting for this solution could be improved. For example, when you run A/B tests or MVT tests with multiple variants, then it is difficult to get a consolidated report. There are limitations on how to use the automation. The sending of messages could be more transactional as it is only possible to synchronize one per day.

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

"We use this solution for user onboarding via email automation and to send out product update newsletters, and we also use it to send out maintenance messages or ad hoc communication focused on a specific topic."
"We have been happily using MailChimp for all our email marketing needs."
"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."
"For those starting out, this free version gives you a very professional look."
"I use Mailchimp for digital marketing purposes, such as creating and managing email campaigns, collecting data, and integrating with WordPress websites."
"We managed to easily build and send modern, nice looking, relevant newsletters to hundreds of followers, analyze our projects and think of new and better ways to do it, because of the diversity that comes with it."
"We used to use VerticalResponse but made the switch because we found MailChimp to be easier and faster to work with."
"Running email campaigns is easy and straightforward."
"I like the ease of configuration and the templated emails."
 

Cons

"Reporting for this solution could be improved. For example, when you run A/B tests or MVT tests with multiple variants, then it is difficult to get a consolidated report."
"A standalone system for private servers would be ideal."
"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."
"I don't have any issues with the service."
"They have poor inbox visibility, and many of the emails went to the spam folder."
"Its admin interface, particularly for setting up a new campaign, is not the most intuitive."
"It gives me errors every time I try to send a newsletter to more than 400 people at a time."
"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."
"Customer Service: I really haven’t had to use customer service much but it is only by email which is unfortunate."
