A complete solution for all marketing automation needs. Pros Holistic marketing automation. Is a great solution for brands that have both a website and an app and want smart flows that send push notifications, in-apps, and emails to the applicable people. Very easy to use. Cons Overall the initial package price is reasonable and you only pay for MAUs and not for all users in the account, but adding more emails is pricey.

CRM Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible CRM Platform that Scales with Growth" September 5, 2025 5.0 Overall, Braze has been a strong partner in helping us scale user communication globally. It enables us to optimize customer journeys, run reliable A/B tests, and closely track engagement and revenue impact. While there are occasional challenges with usability and the overhead of maintaining clean templates, the platform’s flexibility and performance outweigh these downsides. It has enabled our CRM team to shift its focus from manual execution to more strategic, value-driven work. Pros Braze provides excellent value for money given its depth of features. It centralizes multi-channel orchestration across email, push, in-app messaging, and more, making it easy to build sophisticated journeys. The learning curve is manageable thanks to clear documentation, and once workflows are set up, campaign specialists can execute quickly. Its security and data privacy compliance also give confidence when managing tens of millions of users. Cons The platform can be overwhelming at first, especially for newer team members who face a steep learning curve when navigating the product with various features. Email management and template handling are powerful but sometimes clunky, requiring extra QA to ensure translations or localized versions work correctly. Bugs are rare, but when they occur, they can slow down analysis and require support tickets. Alternatives considered [CleverTap](https://www.capterra.com/p/155737/CleverTap/)[Iterable](https://www.capterra.com/p/143902/Iterable/) Reason for choosing Braze We chose Braze because it offered the best balance between scalability, flexibility, and ease of integration. Compared to other solutions, Braze’s cross-channel orchestration and real-time segmentation allowed us to deliver personalized campaigns at scale without relying heavily on engineering support.

Lifecycle Marketing Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works for Complex Subscription Programs" September 15, 2025 3.0 Its overall fine, I think it suits the business needs well. However, the SMS product needs improving and strategic guidance from internal staff. Pros Canvas journeys are able to support our complex subscription flows, creating and augmenting the SMS campaigns is also simple. Cons I wish segmentation was more intuitive - I find competitor products much simpler to use and/or statements when creating audiences Switched from [Iterable](https://www.capterra.com/p/143902/Iterable/) Cost and service with the custom integration for our ecom platform was needed Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Product Delivery Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great messaging platform for maturing companies!" August 25, 2025 5.0 8/10 - It's such a big step up in messaging platforms and innovative in automated technology. It really does minimize the time needed for your run of the mill journey or drip campaigns and when you are ready to level up your messaging it also has everything you need. Pros I love how much automated functionality and personalization is available through out the different messaging capabilities. There is a significant time commitment when setting up new automation but in the long run it saves time. They also have very flexible in platform permission settings which avoids any accidental messaging from testers and dev. Cons Due to all the functionality there is a bit of a learning curve that can feel overwhelming if you have a lean team. The other double edge sword is the support process. You can enter a ticket like most systems but the level of detail they require from the team can feel like overkill when you are trying to solve an issue quickly. I call this a double edge sword because they are incredibly helpful it can just take a lot time to duplicate the issue to send all the info required.

Senior Marketing Automation Executive Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keep it up Braze! Excited to see what the future holds" June 20, 2025 5.0 I’ve used Braze daily across a wide range of campaign and lifecycle use cases, and having achieved 12 certifications, I’d say I know the platform inside out. Overall, it’s a powerful and flexible tool for cross-channel engagement, especially when it comes to real-time triggers, personalised messaging, and orchestrating complex user journeys.” “I really value how intuitive the UI is, particularly the Canvas builder and segmentation logic. It empowers non-technical teams to move quickly while still giving room for advanced use cases through Liquid, Connected Content, and Currents integrations. That said, I’ve also seen where Braze hits limitations—reporting depth, testing capabilities, and scaling complex logic across campaigns can be areas of friction. You often have to lean on external tooling to go beyond tactical execution and into strategic insight. Still, for teams with strong lifecycle and CRM maturity, and especially if your data setup is clean, Braze is one of the best platforms out there to drive meaningful, data-driven customer engagement. Pros I love how intuitive and user-friendly Braze is—it makes it easy to build and launch campaigns quickly without needing heavy dev input. Braze’s real-time event triggering is super valuable. Being able to act instantly on user behavior (like cart abandonment or a milestone hit) is key for performance Cons You often need to supplement Braze analytics with Looker, Tableau, or something else if you want real strategic insight. Switched from [Oracle Responsys](https://www.capterra.com/p/227045/Oracle-Responsys/) Contract ended so we decided to switch and join braze Review Source JL Johnna L. Marketing Automation Manager Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A robust platform with room for development" May 23, 2025 4.0 Braze is a fantastic platform with a user-friendly interface that doesn't lack the more complex features an advanced marketer needs in their toolbox. The team at Braze is responsive and knowledgeable. There is something left to be desired regarding the speed at which feature requests are reviewed and implemented, but overall I love using Braze. Pros The ability to personalize journeys and messaging using Liquid and other tools is a great benefit. The retargeting options range from the simple basics to very granular, which is great when you need to automate a highly-personalized experience. Cons Feature requests and "on-the-roadmap" items take a long time to be developed. Some of these items are just nice to have but some can become actual road blocks to drafting the intended user experience. Switched from [Adobe Campaign](https://www.capterra.com/p/135159/Adobe-Campaign/) I'm not sure why the decision makers made the switch, but I can speak from experience that Adobe Campaign felt outdated and limited compared to what Braze can do across all channels.

Digital Marketing And Loyalty Specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Braze - The CRM Booster You Need" May 30, 2025 5.0 Pros There are a few things that come to mind. Braze is extremely flexible, we can create very simple customer journeys or very complex ones. The number of partner integrations they have. This gives us the freedom to choose the right partner for our business instead of only having 1-2 choices if we want to keep our systems talking. Lastly, how committed Braze is to developing new tools for us to use. Some are small quality of life upgrades, but others are much more meaningful and enable us to really increase our marketing efforts. Cons There aren't any big cons with Braze in my experience. If I had to say something I would pick some small things such as not being able to include a seed list on pushes and not being able to call in nested properties for custom events when creating basic segments. Switched from [Iterable](https://www.capterra.com/p/143902/Iterable/) Lacked integrations with other tech partners. Review Source LČ Luka Č. Customer Support Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Braze review" July 23, 2025 4.0 Braze is a powerful tool for multi-channel marketing. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it delivers great value once you get the hang of it. Pros I like Braze’s ability to deliver personalized marketing communication across multiple channels, helping us engage customers at the right time with the right message. Cons The user interface isn’t the most intuitive, especially for new users. Certain features require a bit of a learning curve and could be more streamlined. Switched from [Intercom](https://www.capterra.com/p/134347/Intercom/) We did not get enough value from the previous product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Automation Specialist Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerful tool with few trade-offs" June 2, 2025 4.0 Pros the interface is user friendly. Setting up campaigns and analyzing performance after deployment is easy. The advance segmentation capabilities has significantly helped in our targeting efforts. The new-age capabilities offered by braze such as intelligent timing, AI assistant for liquid, AI Copywriting assistant are the gamechanger. The multichannel support and real time data which helps in better customer retention. Cons I wish Braze had a separate, dedicated section for email creation and management. Currently, the email needs to be created and managed in the campaign or canvas directly where sometimes it becomes difficult to manage incase of complex journeys where multiple peoples are working on the same canvas. There should have been SQL segmentation option, where the segmentation is complex and isn't possible through the drag and drop/ standard segmentation. Switched from [SAP Marketing Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/227339/SAP-Marketing-Cloud/) the product was going to sunset and didn't had modern functionalities Review Source MK Meg K.

The staff are great, product is amazing, and its great to be using a platform that is so innovative. Pros Its innovative, and future thinking. Braze really has the ability to level up our marketing and keep us ahead of the rest. Cons Some of the features require dev/engineer help when this is hard to get ahold of it can hold up some projects. Switched from [Adestra](https://www.capterra.com/p/223872/Adestra/) Adestra was not fit for purpose- it was very manual. Review Source HW Harshal W.

It is a good tool for email marketing and multichannel campaigns. Canvas is a nice tool within Braze. very latest and modern platform that can improve marketing performance. Pros Customer journey using canvas. unified customer view. Content Cards for in-app messaging and the ability to personalize these cards Cons still very much exploring so not sure about all features. However, one con is- it is a bit difficult to learn for someone who has not worked on any such platform before. also, the courses offered are a bit costly for India marketers. learning is difficult Switched from [SAP Marketing Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/227339/SAP-Marketing-Cloud/) Company did it since SMC was discontinuing and wanted a modern system for modern marketing and customer engagement Review Source LS Lauren S. Director, Engagement Strategy E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Transition to Braze" June 23, 2025 4.0 The Braze team was very hands on with getting our team up and running. We have saved so much time on email deployments since moving over from our old ESP. Pros We were able to set up our platform and Braze to share data easily, allowing for seamless automation. Cons I wish there was a way to look at campaign performance at a glance more easily with a simple report tab that displays all deployments and there email stats. Switched from [Campaigner](https://www.capterra.com/p/266291/Campaigner/) We were not able to make our platform and campaigner pass data making every send manual. Review Source NP Nachiket P. Senior Marketing Manager Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streamlining Customer Engagement with Braze" July 18, 2025 4.0 Overall, Braze has been a powerful tool for improving our customer engagement. Once we got the hang of it, it became a core part of our marketing strategy. Pros Braze makes it super easy to create personalized, multi-channel campaigns. The Canvas Flow feature is a standout, it’s visual, intuitive, and saves tons of time. Cons The learning curve was a bit steep at first, especially with advanced features. Some integrations also required more setup than expected. Switched from [SAP Marketing Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/227339/SAP-Marketing-Cloud/) We switched from SAP Marketing Cloud to Braze because we needed a more agile and user-friendly platform. Braze offered better real-time engagement capabilities, easier campaign setup, and more flexibility for our marketing team to experiment and iterate quickly without heavy reliance on IT. Review Source RC Robert C. Manager, Martech Engineering Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Blaze with Braze " October 21, 2023 4.0 Pros Campaign and template is the most important feature. It allow anyone with basic skill to create and maintain campaign. The data integration is another feature which allow seamless migration of data to Braze Cons The current email template management requires more improvement when it comes to switching between html and drag and drop mode. Since we work on this on a daily basis, this is the least like but at the same time most beneficial one as described previously. Reason for choosing Braze Not involve in that phase of the project Switched from [Cheetah Digital](https://www.capterra.com/p/248471/Cheetah-Messaging/) Contract expired. Needed more feature out of the box. Review Source SK Sara K. Marketing Operations Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Braze Review" May 19, 2025 5.0 Pros I love Braze's features and ability to be user friendly. As a Braze user of 3-4 years, I have successfully been able to complete all the trainings that have been helpful. Anytime I have a question, there's documentation that answers it. If not, there is always support available. I love the AI/intelligent features available. I haven't been able to dig into the AI tools completely, but have been using intelligent channel and timing religiously. Cons Although I use Braze for a lot of the features, there are still some things that I prefer would be reviewed/updated. For example, after launching a canvas, it is hard to update a few things: conversion events, action paths, experiment paths, etc. I also would like the opportunity to learn 1:1 about some of the new features that Braze launches, like the new report builder.

It is so user friendly and one of my favorite systems. Pros I love how clean and sleek braze is! The interface is great for anyone learning how to use these type of systems. Cons The only thing I would change about Braze is the delay in e-mail verification code! Sometimes I have ended up waiting hours. Review Source jL jon L. Lifecycle Marketing Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best lifecycle marketing tool so far" April 24, 2025 5.0 Braze has been an excellent tool for our team to deliver creative, sometimes complex campaigns quickly and easily. I have worked in other platforms in the past, but would not move away from Braze moving forward. Pros I like how I can set up multi-step, multi-channel lifecycle campaigns in one canvas quickly and easily.

June 6, 2025 5.0 It's been great to use Braze across our teams to build segments, target, and filter based on our desired outcomes. Pros I love how easy it is to manage users across various segments of the company. I can work with marketing, data, and various other teams to house information and build segments. Cons It takes a little bit of "learning" on how to navigate around and what each part of Braze does. Clicking around helps. Review Source LH Lauren H.

Braze's magic wand? Real-time data triggers and personalized messaging, that's been nothing short of a game-changer. In the era before Braze, delivering the top-notch experiences our users truly deserved was a Herculean task. But now, it's a breeze! With Braze, we're not just talking about communication; we're talking about forging connections that matter. It's like the missing puzzle piece that's transformed our customer engagement into a masterpiece.

With Braze, we're not just talking about communication; we're talking about forging connections that matter. It's like the missing puzzle piece that's transformed our customer engagement into a masterpiece. Cons One thing I don't like about Braze is that it doesn't have an auto-save feature. Our team creates more than 20 emails each week, and mistakes can happen. An auto-save feature would be really helpful because it would save our work in case something unexpected happens, like a browser issue. It could save us a lot of time if our work doesn't get lost.
