It's very straightforward to set up, but you have to be technical to do it.
The HTML templating functionality was the most important feature/reason for us to move to their service. A must in today’s customer contact environment, but the out of the box analytics have also been very valuable. In a customer service environment, it is imperative to know that the customer is receiving the message, and in a timely manner.
