### "Easy, but has limited functionality"

February 1, 2019

4.0

It works for what I need, which is to add text and images to an email and send it to a list of subscribers at a certain time.

Pros

It's really easy to create a simple email template, add texts, links and images, and preview how it will look on mobile and desktop. Additionally, it's only about three or four clicks to schedule a campaign to go out to a subscriber list.

Cons

Beyond text, images and links, there isn't much you can do with this software if you can't code. You can't add plug-ins or widgets to the email. That's why I'm considering another email services.

### "Blown away"

June 28, 2016

5.0

I had a very particular issue, not with the product itself, but getting it to work on my page. Again, the problem was not what they made, but where I was making it live...a hazardous environment, and it was still working well despite not having good reasons to. I am a contractor for a client, and nobody gave me any grief about not being a direct employee. They were so willing and eager to help right out of the gate, and they took time out to walk me through every possibility, as well as how to address those possibilities. This is a day and age where everyone's so impulsive that they literally can't function unless you chop everything into notes and bullets, and here they are (concisely, not wastefully) giving a total breakdown. And it's not curt, and it's not condescending. They just care that the issue gets resolved, instead of 95% of other online support, which is pointing fingers and passing the buck.

Pros

Genuinely care Really quick turnaround time Product fluency Thoroughness Confidence Objectiveness

Cons

I'd have to invent something. I wish every time I picked up the phone to talk to someone in this situation it could go his smoothly.

### "Good newsletter tool"

August 17, 2018

4.0

Good tool to use for newsletters. Fine free version and good basic model in the paid version as well. But seems like some of the things like sending out e-mails at a certain time in different geographies should be a part of the paid plan in the basic version.

Pros

We have used Campaign Monitor for some time now, and it works well. There is a good overview of the different campaigns you have sent, while there's also possibility for split testing. Does the job on a regular basis.

Cons

Sometimes the interface is not that intuitive. Especially when it comes to understanding the difference between transactional and automatic e-mails.

### "So Fun Watching Count of Email Opens Go Up"

November 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

Real time data when you send out email blasts. It's great to see how your efforts pay off after you hit that send button. Like how it integrates with TapClicks.

Cons

Small learning curve which can be frustrating at times.

### "Solid email client that competes with best."

February 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to use, straightforward interface. Allows easy import/export of email contacts, with good pricing and total reliability. Love the map view mode after a send out and data reporting is flawless.

Cons

No inline editor puts it behind mailchimp in the regard, and templates are a little messy. Would also be good to preview for different devices - not possible currently.

June 28, 2016

I've been using Campaign Monitor for the past 4 years, and it is so easy to use! I love to send emails and campaigns through this tool as it is also super clever. I'm sending several campaigns per month and I'm always discovering new features. It's increadibly easy and fast to connect with my clients thanks to it!

### "Excellent email manager"

September 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Lots of templates to choose from and the ability to import custom HTML as well. Very easy interface to use.

Cons

It would be nice to easily customize an unsubscribe page or allow for subscribers to "snooze".

### "Campaign Monitor"

July 25, 2018

3.0

If you are a few mailings a month to a few lists or segments of contacts, then this should work fine for you. If you have thousands of contacts that you need to reach in marketing campaigns several times a week with contact options to opt out of one or more segments while still being a part of the master list, look elsewhere.

Pros

Some pros for this app are the price point, campaign statistics reporting and integration with Salesforce.

Cons

This app appears to be geared towards smaller organizations that do not have a technical staff on board to manage the marketing. It has been so watered down to be user friendly that it not very robust or customizable. It does have a Salesforce connector to track some campaign data in Salesforce. The volume of data that often gets tracked, while important to companies, eats up Salesforce data storage very quickly. If you are not careful with how you manage lists and segments, costs can quickly creep up and become overwhelming.

### "Very intuitive & gets the job done"

October 29, 2019

4.0

It's a great and complete tool for starting out your email marketing ecosystem, as it's quite easy to manage users, reports and all that jazz. I fully recommend it, no coding skills necessary.

Pros

This was the first email marketing platform I've ever used and I gotta say it was a breeze to work with. I only had some basic HTML knowledge and that helped a lot, but other than that I relied on Campaign Monitor to teach me how to use it.

Cons

I'd love for the design to be more customizable, but I guess that would make for a more complicated product.

### "Campaign Monitor makes email marketing easy with it's easy to use interface and a ton of features."

February 12, 2018

4.0

The biggest benefit was that I was able to get up to speed and learn the software quickly. It wasn't overwhelming and I felt like I could build great looking emails right away.

Pros

I like that it enables you to create great looking email without any prior experience or knowledge coding or building emails. They have a drag and drop email builder that allows you to quickly create beautiful, responsive, mobile-friendly emails in an easy to use interface. Their marketing automation features are also much easier to learn than some of their competitors.

Cons

For advanced email marketers with coding and development knowledge, Campaign Monitor is a little too simple. It really is geared to marketers who don't have a lot of development knowledge and lacks some of the features of Salesforce's Marketing Cloud.

October 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

Campaign Monitor has many great features, including: - segmentation (allowing us to properly split our customers up and target them with appropriate emails) - Templates: easy to setup, customize and ensure they look professional - analytics: powerful and easy to understand which has evolved out marketing team to be able to properly target and understand our marketing strategy - Campaign Monitor has great integrations that allow us to use it throughout our platforms and connected to other software we are using

Cons

\- Not flexible for completely customizable email bodies. We are unable to allow our designers to completely design the emails themselves as it lacks some functionality.

### "Selling e-Mail Marketing"

April 2, 2020

4.0

Support has been great when needed. Our emails are going out without being blocked and we are getting great information back on tracking for each email campaign we setup.

Pros

Not only is this platform very easy to use to create and build email newsletters and support emails it gives you the ability to white label and brand the software to sell as a service to your current clients. Adding revenue to support your sales and marketing clients through email marketing.

Cons

The template designer which is very easy to use and has quality templates is lacking in the customization aspect the designs are. How ever you can code and upload your own email designs.

### "The BEST email marketing and automation software"

February 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

I absolutely love Campaign Monitor. While I've used a variety of other tools, it is by far the most streamlined tool I've experienced while offering the best looking emails. I was really impressed with how intuitive the user experience is and how good the templates looked across all browsers and devices.

Cons

So far I haven't found anything I dislike. Perhaps an easier way to move and sort contacts between lists would be helpful, but it's pretty straightforward already.

### "Robust newsletter software that can get pricey"

January 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like the beautiful designs you can create with the software. In a day and age with so many newsletters, Campaign Monitor gives you a way to stand out above the crowd. Having access to email marketing tools is also very useful for being more strategic in communication efforts.

Cons

If you don't mind paying a little or a lot, depending on your uses, then Campaign Monitor could be a great newsletter software option. I am limited by my budget so that makes it trickier to capitalize on what it has to offer.

### "Campaign Monitor is by far the most simple, yet powerful, subscriber and campaign manager."

October 13, 2017

5.0

The ability to spin up new accounts for clients makes it a no-brainer.

Pros

Their designer is easy to use, but yet provides great power features like dynamic parameters, draggable sections, and more. The ability to create and manage different templates for different uses is very handy. Their support is top-notch and always responsive within a couple of hours.

Cons

Their pricing is higher than other services, so it can sometimes be a hard sell to clients, especially as they add more subscribers. It can get expensive to do one-off campaigns to lots of subscribers.

### "Making the most out of Campaign Monitor Subscription"

March 3, 2023

5.0

Overall, I am making the most out of my subscription. It is nice that it is reliable when sending multiple campaigns. I am sure that my promotion will not be put into spam and will be read by my subscribers. I hope that someday the one -time campaign plan will be less pricey.

Pros

What I like the most about the software is that it can send campaigns to thousands of subscribers in just a few clicks and in just a few minutes. It also offers a wide variety of themes and templates that you can use for your promotions and campaigns.

Cons

The software has a single time campaign plan but is very pricey. Not okay if your intent is to send just a one time campaign.

### "A fantastic email builder."

January 12, 2019

4.0

Professional position with campaign monitor. Having campaigns ready to be launched seasonally is the comfort that gives us. We are happy with the results obtained.

Pros

It offers a great variety when it comes to creating fantastic campaigns that users quickly accept. Thanks to Campaign Monitor, we can create and manage large campaigns whose ROI is acceptable. We can personalize the messages, have emails answering the questions, all automatically, in addition to checking all the mail that arrives in the tray. The campaigns were never as personalized as the ones we can create in Campaign Monitor.

Cons

The design is difficult to achieve so far, because they are templates that have very little and can be redesigned or changed completely. The design must be broader or the range of images for posters and specific campaigns.

### "Another solid email marketing solution"

February 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

The worldview it's fun right? Now, for things that matter more: it has nice templates and relatively easy to implement. Customization could be improved. In the end if you get the job done, coming in than all it's left for you to do is watch those people opening your emails on worldview while siping your favorite drink, eh? ;)

Cons

There is room to improve the template customization and email segmentation. The way contacts are calculated for billing purposes is not ideal.

Easy to customize for your needs. Price is very affordable for most mid-sized companies. Fields are easily customized, I especially like the world view.

### "Great for non-designers/non-coders "

June 17, 2019

5.0

Overall I'd recommend it for sure. Helped me create great looking emails without needed dev or design help.

Pros

Great for helping non-designers/non-coders create good looking emails.

Cons

It's pretty easy to use but sometimes to get the right spacing, etc. you have to play with it - it's a little finiky

### "A decent tool for the price, but challenging to train others on."

May 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that this product is easily customizable and user-friendly for customizing your own designs. I felt that it was easy for me to make this product work for me the way I needed it to.

Cons

It was very challenging to train my sales team on using this product, even with a comprehensive step-by-step guide. This product might be best suited to controlled access and not having "too many hands in the pot".

### "An expansive email marketing tool."

June 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

Campaign Monitor is a full-featured, high-quality email marketing tool. My business has found success using this tool for both internal and external audiences. I find the greatest value in the analytics features of the tool. This helps my marketing team use data to plan directed communications to employees and customers.

Cons

The customer service is non-transparent. Campaign Monitor makes many attempts to defer your help requests through pages of FAQs and making it difficult to find their email contact form. It looks like they have a call-in line for premium pay customers, however I did not have any issues I needed to contact them for while I had the premium account.

### "Powerful email marketing software "

July 16, 2021

5.0

Campaign monitor is powerful email marketing software and easy to develop against the API with the help of its wrappers such as .NET library. The price is competitive. Our company is very careful with money and we chose campaign monitor.

Pros

We use .NET and there is a .NET libray you can make use of so that you can call campaign monitor API easily. You can create/update/delete subscribers with properties and you can put these properties in the email content if you'd like. There are so much more you can do with campaign monitor and it is powerful email marketing software.

Cons

I cannot think of what I don't like about campaign monitor. I really appreciate that it has wrapper libraries.
