SmarterMail is the perfect Exchange alternative for any business looking for an enterprise email server at a small business price. Includes desktop/mobile support and complete Outlook integration.
All-in-one platform that helps businesses of all sizes manage customer relationships via email, SMS, chat and more.
We have been through many versions and are still very pleased with the product as are our clients. We can host with, make money with it, and have have happy customers.
It's Cumbersome, for some reason it takes forever for emails to appear in the inbox (even inter-company emails), terrible spam detection, difficult to sort emails, NOT that smart.
The cost is great, it's very easy to use and very easy to set up. We also have very few issues with it, very solid product.
SmarterMail is low functioning in terms of design and features. You are unable to merge calendars and it is very difficult to access via mobile.
It is affordable (much more than affordable than Exchange) for the small to medium business and makes for a great solution. The support has been good and we have had VERY few issues over the years.
Blacklisting and whitelisting isn't as locked down as it should be. Some blacklisted or spam identified emails get through after tagging.
It was one and it is still a good experience, we keep it in production. Great for those who want to implement a product quickly.
You can go into each individually but mass reports are missing.
Ease to use, Easy to Set Up, Great Analysis System, Great Format for the campaigns and good help service.
I had some problems sending out targeted emails the first few times and had some trouble making all the initial settings.
Overall, I've had a great experience with SendInBlue for what I use it for - it just works seamlessly on the backend of all my websites, delivering the mail flawlessly.
It's quite a mess and very unpleasant experience. Also the transition between drag&drop and raw HTML is not so direct as I would expect.
I love that I can start with the free account while getting my business off the ground and then expand when ready and more stable.
The CRM functions are confusing and a bit limited. The email templates are very limited.
My list has just reached over a 1000 subscribers and so now I need to find a more affordable way to build and grow from here. Sendinblue is perfect for that.
Initially it was hard to configure the dedicated IP but it was due to our lack of knowledge in IT and misunderstanding with our web host provider.
Cristina C.: Hi, I'm Cristina. I'm an owner manager. I give Sendinblue a three out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Sendinblue, I was using Klaviyo. However, Klaviyo seemed to me to be too large of a CRM, too robust, too complex. I needed to simplify, so I chose Sendinblue, which was an easier, smaller to manage CRM. The other reason was the costs involved with Klaviyo. As a solopreneur, I was looking for something that was more affordable. I chose Sendinblue because I needed something that was a little bit more simple and less complex to use for a solopreneur. I also wanted something that was more affordable as a solopreneur, so I chose Sendinblue. Getting started with Sendinblue was quite a large learning curve. Even though it seemed like the simplest CRM, the learning curve in getting it attached to my website was quite steep. The customer service also was a little bit lacking in getting it set up. If you're thinking about switching over to Sendinblue as your CRM, be prepared for a learning curve. I would advise to jump on the website, have a look through the Sendinblue Academy, and then get in touch with your host and just see what exactly you need to do to set it up and integrate it with your website and your [inaudible 00:01:34] commerce, or whichever commerce you are using.
