Director with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

CRM Team Leader at a tech company with 201-500 employees
A very reliable and stable tool that can be used to manage campaigns
When we contact support, sometimes it takes two to three days or even more to get a satisfying answer. It is time-consuming. I'm not sure if it's because of the high demand that the team has to support. At some point, it seemed to me that they were not prepared. I've been using support for three years. I noticed some changes. Support used to be more personal. Suddenly, it is like we have no direct contact with the team. We could not reach them through chats. We can reach them only through emails. I could see that they were trying to be automated in the way they provide customer service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The superior customer service we can now offer our clients is a differentiator when it comes to client retention and winning new business."
"Being able to track open and click rates, so we can adjust email content appropriately."
"Putting the campaigns together on Zoho is reasonably straightforward. They have a little campaign builder tool that works very well as long as you don't want the campaign to be too sophisticated."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution is very inexpensive and very reasonably priced."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
"We can merge Zoho Campaigns with Zoho CRM and other applications. I think automation is the best feature of the product because it reduces manual inputs. It will work automatically and generate reports."
"It’s a very easy product to use, you do not need to be tech savvy or a whizz at email marketing."
 

Cons

"It was on the slow side."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"When we use Zoho Campaigns, our emails often get routed to the spam folder instead of the inbox. For example, people who use Gmail to receive our newsletter will often miss it because it was sent to their spam folder. Many of our clients aren't seeing our work. We compared it to another solution, and the open rate was much higher because the emails went directly to the inbox."
"The support team takes a while to respond to our request."
"It takes a lot of work to get it set up the way you want. It's not an intuitive product. It takes coding work to get the sales process to work. That setup process could be simplified significantly."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"The reports are not so clear."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"We have an enterprise license for this because we use Zoho for lots of things. We have HR and a bunch of other things. We probably don't pay individually for marketing or sales, and it's all in the overall license that we have."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
