Targeted lifecycle journeys have boosted engagement and have improved retention continuously
There is definitely room for improvement in MoEngage. A few challenges and pain points I have experienced include the learning curve for advanced features. Although the basic interface is user-friendly, some advanced capabilities such as complex segmentations, journey logic, and event configuration can present a steeper learning curve. Our new users require training to fully utilize the platform, and debugging complex journeys is not always intuitive. Improvement in guided workflows or more interactive onboarding would help us make better use of MoEngage. While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports. We have noted that exporting and combining data for deeper analysis sometimes requires external tools, so enhancing analytics capabilities or offering more customizable dashboards would significantly add value to the platform. Additionally, we have observed minor delays in real-time data syncing when managing large user volumes, and event-based triggers may occasionally face delays. While these are not major issues, improving real-time responsiveness would strengthen time-sensitive campaigns on our platform. One improvement would be UI/UX enhancements in campaign management because, while the UI is generally clean, managing multiple campaigns and journeys at scale can feel slightly cluttered. Navigating between campaigns and flows can be optimized, and better visualization for complex journeys would help us significantly. A more streamlined interface for large-scale operations would enhance usability. I believe one area for further development could be more advanced AI-driven automation. For example, smarter recommendations for campaign timing, audience selection, or next best actions would be beneficial. While the current predictive features are useful, further maturity would make the platform even more proactive and reduce manual optimization efforts.

Highly customizable but should have more out-of-the-box features
The product is highly customizable, but the marketing and business teams want a lot of things to be built out of the box. A lot of features that could be out of the box aren't there. The main concern is to keep the system in such a way that it provides you with some out-of-the-box features and some customizable features as well. An example would be stratification or stratified sampling of customers. It's something that is not part of the product. It's something I have built using this product. If something like this is available out of the box as part of the product, you don't have to particularly manage that. For the outbound campaigns, there should be dynamic offer or treatment assignments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After using MoEngage, we experience significant improvements in metrics, as setting up campaigns that previously took three hours on Customer 360 now only takes forty to forty-five minutes, leading to higher engagement measurable by an increase in open rates from twenty-five to thirty percent to above fifty-two percent."
"MoEngage has been a good platform so far, and I think it is very useful for keeping our users engaged on the application, which ultimately turns into a revenue channel."
"MoEngage's scope as an analytics engine is significant, and I am confident that it will provide insights to product managers to improve their products, and I encourage everyone to try it."
"Specific outcomes that show how MoEngage has impacted my organization include real-time triggers that it offers, enabling real-time campaigns that have increased the engagement rate."
"MoEngage positively impacts my organization as it is one of the core business activities; my marketing team relies heavily on MoEngage to run campaigns and ongoing flows independently."
"I think we used the user analytics area of MoEngage, which was very good, and there were also some other features such as push notifications, email, SMS, and WhatsApp services, but we did not use those."
"MoEngage has been a primary tool for sending communications across all of these factors, and I think it is helping us very positively right now, and we hope to continue with it in the future."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization because the delivery rate from MoEngage is really high, and I receive a very low amount of bounce-back rates and undeliverable email IDs because it has an automatic feature of segregating nullable and invalid email IDs."
"SAP Marketing Automation is user-friendly. The interface is nice and clear. You can see the different diagrams and define various filters and targets. You can also export the customer information you collect to make the campaign. It's easy to understand how this information is entered. There are also a lot of platforms that show the results of campaigns. You can customize your data and define different reports, but SAS also provides a standard report."
"You can enable it for business users or marketing users to use it in a self-service way. So, the technical team is needed to build the features or processes, and then those processes can be used in a self-service way by your non-technical users."
 

Cons

"Regarding MoEngage's AI capabilities, I think there is something to improve."
"MoEngage can improve by making the process of tracking events easier. Currently, it is difficult for me to view the events of a particular user."
"I would like to add a feature on which we can track the events globally as we have in Mixpanel."
"MoEngage can be improved because although the platform is really user-friendly, it sometimes becomes slow when I click and enter."
"If I had to suggest a few improvements, they would be to simplify advanced journey configurations."
"Monthly pricing was approximately two point five lakhs, which I considered a bit high for the amount of data being handled at that time."
"MoEngage can be improved in the sense that while it is aligned to a mobile-first business strategy, bigger organizations with multiple business entities have complex requirements."
"MoEngage is a bit on the expensive side considering the features available, especially since similar features are available in the market."
"You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers. For example, if I want to see the data through Power BI, I need a connector to see the data directly. Otherwise, you need to do everything manually. You have to download information from SAS and then save a text file, and then I can import it into Power BI. I would like Marketing Automation to have this native functionality without the need to pay more for connectors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not aware of the full cost. The financials are not with me. In terms of additional costs, there are always OpEx and CapEx. That's one way to look at it. You also need separate hardware to deploy the product."
