I love that we can create newsletters well in advance and automate them to go out. I also love the automation flows and the wonderful robust reporting.
So my primary method of advertising was cut off at Christmas, rendering this software useless to me at the time I needed it most.
I love the ease of tracking what is happening with my newsletters and automations. The results are setup clearly and I like the layout of the whole program.
I hate that I can't integrate multiple shops in one platform.
The features that I love the best on Omnisend is that I am able to go through analytics and other critical information about my visitors that help me turn them into customers.
Standard for a template based email marketing system. But as a designer I find it frustrating.
The product itself is user-friendly and easy to use. The automation and segmentation options are advanced and provide great solutions for effective marketing.
The moving target with monthly fees is a bit frustrating.
What I like best is that Alexa is easy to use. She listens carefully and the majority of the time she has accurate information and answers to whatever you ask her.
But sometimes this is not possible due to this problem.
The features offered by Alexa are really amazing and can help you significantly improve your Google ranking. Even the free version provides you indicative insights on your website traffic.
Able to not bring up so much information. Sometimes it brings up the wrong prices as compared to online.
I like the global rankings as an indicator of site performance. I also like that it shows you competing sites and this helps in measuring your performance and improving.
Limited in what actual analytics you can get out of Alexa.
I really like in-depth site audits for tracking progress and it's great for understanding the strength and weaknesses of your competitors.
No new features that aren't already offered on other platforms.
Trevor A.: Hi, my name's Trevor. I'm the owner of Agency and I give Omnisend five out of five stars. So we've used all kinds of email marketing software, anything from MailChimp back in the day to ActiveCampaign, Emma, Klaviyo, you name it. I mean, pretty much any email program out there, we've used and yeah, it was always an issue, whether it was budgeting with clients and budgets not fitting in with what these offerings were on these different platforms. A lot of them just had lack of something, whether it was custom emails, just ways to customize and ways to engage with our audience. So the biggest reason why we went with Omnisend, one, it kind of checked all the boxes that we needed. It integrated with Shopify. It kind of did everything that we needed it to do. Automated emails, sending special emails with different flow capabilities was extremely important. But I think the biggest thing was the price. We were able to save hundreds of dollars for our clients just by switching them over to Omnisend. The onboarding process with Omnisend was extremely simple. It's just a few simple clicks. If you do need help, they have a support team there to help guide you and walk you through it or if you needed even further help, they have someone who could literally set it up for you. So the setup process was extremely painless. I personally feel that you can't go wrong with Omnisend. Like I said, it checks off all the boxes. It does everything that any competing product that you see out there does. Omnisend does it just as well. I think they have amazing customer service. So if you have any questions while you're in their platform, they have live help with a live person who will help guide you and if they don't know the answer, they will find the answer for you. I think that's a huge thing. Coming from a competitor, for a couple of our clients, there was zero support. They just direct you to the help center and when you have a really technical question, it's hard. The help center doesn't help you in that way. So I think, one, the pricing, you can't go wrong with it. It's the best pricing that we've found out there in terms of what it's capable of doing and then, two, that live support and just knowing that I have someone that I can speak to, a real human is very important.
Andrew B: Hi, my name is Andrew. I am an SEO manager. I would give Alexa a three out five. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Alexa, we were using Comscore and Comscore is a great tool, but Alexa is better for our organization in terms of pricing, and additionally offered several features for us that Comscore did not. The primary reason we chose to go to Alexa was because of price. However, it also offered several features that we really liked. For example, being able to look at a competitor set and being able to look at share market. Getting started with Alexa was incredibly easy. It runs pretty much completely in the cloud. So, after signing up, it was pretty seamless to get up and running. For any organization looking at using Alexa, I would recommend that they look at alternative options and decide what is best for them. Several alternatives had different feature sets and it really just depends on what fits best with the organization.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
