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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the time, the reports show that SendinBlue is really efficient."
"It’s very easy, and you can start using it without being an expert in e-marketing."
"This is the cheapest, simplest and easiest white-listed provider to use."
"MailChimp's most important functionality is its automation feature."
"This is a great way for DigiEnable to keep in touch with its clients, users, subscribers, and charities and groups it supports, and it's a vital tool in the online communications strategy for any business, meaning you can build better relationships with your clients, keep in touch more, and you'll build better projects for years to come."
"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."
"The email scheduling has been quite useful."
"We do more outbound marketing as this method makes it so much easier to do."
"If it's for a small business sending out a monthly newsletter, it's a great solution."
 

Cons

"The filters could be more efficient."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The WYSIWYG editor doesn't work in the email client that IBM uses, so I've had to completely code out the email."
"I don't have any issues with the service."
"They have poor inbox visibility, and many of the emails went to the spam folder."
"The solution should improve its reporting feature. There should be more transparency around API development. At the moment, the clients are pushing custom API into the mail, so we don't have too much visibility regarding what endpoints they're pushing the data into."
"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."
"The video embedding doesn’t render until you send a campaign, which makes it hard to see the layout."
"Customer service: Not timely, but somewhat effective when on paid plans."
