### "Be prepared for negative numbers"

September 5, 2019

4.0

It's pretty good overall! I'm happy with the product but there are some kinda wonky aspects to it, though again, that could be a result of using it as not necessarily intended.

Pros

It's very easy to upload email lists and to customize my own email campaigns. Being able to drag a CSV file into the list is such a huge QOL, and I like that Campaign Monitor has it's own templates that I can use to create my own email campaign.

Cons

I'm not sure if my company uses this feature as intended, but I'm often uploading and deleting users from the list so that we don't hit the cap. As such, lists often run into negative numbers after I delete them. This becomes a problem when I need to use a list that's a bit smaller - Campaign Monitor understandably can't send to a user list it perceives as having negative users.

### "Great product, does the job well for what we need"

April 14, 2020

4.0

Overall, it's great. does what we need it to do and supports the marketing operations well.

Pros

Templates are easy to set up and duplicate with many options to format and change as needed. It's a simple way to manage different campaigns and communicate to your customers

Cons

The UI isn't great looking and lacks colour and excitement. I'd also like more information fields available in the lists section.

### "With Campaign Monitor testing and sending "

September 30, 2019

4.0

CampaignMonitor helped me especially when I needed to test my email templates across a variety of email clients.

Pros

\- It features a mail testing services which saved me more than once - It's feature plenty and developer friendly - It can be used for various purposes other than "just" sending emails

Cons

\- Some parts of the UI are cumbersome and feel stuck in another internet era - Some services can be very pricey if you don't have a subscription

### "Campaign Monitor - Automate Your Success"

January 14, 2023

5.0

We have used Campaign Monitor in many different ways, from sending out newsletters to launching multi-stage automated campaigns. Although we have faced challenges along the way, the support team at Campaign Monitor has always responded and resolved any issues that have arisen. With their help we have managed to keep our campaigns running smoothly and efficiently, allowing us to reach more people than ever before.

Pros

Drag-and-drop design editor, A/B testing capabilities, powerful segmentation tools, and analytics. Additionally, users can benefit from advanced automation features such as triggered messages and personalized emails. With its intuitive interface and efficient support system, Campaign Monitor helps its users maximize results while saving time and money.

Cons

Despite the company's reputation for providing an efficient and reliable service, I and some of my colleagues have argued that it is a bit pricey for what we actually needed. We can confidently say that every problem presented has been resolved thanks to Campaign Monitor's dedicated customer service team.

### "Super helpful, and easy to use when you are getting started"

February 16, 2018

5.0

The price is right. It has less functionality, but the ease of use and lower cost make this an important part of our email marketing strategy.

Pros

Very easy to get started with setting up your initial email lists for targeting. Can easily customize lists based on customer attributes

Cons

Somewhat limited functionality. We still use Campaign monitor, but we split our time between this product and one of their competitors since we like the reporting features of one of their competitors.

### "Easy to use product with excellent options"

August 11, 2017

5.0

Easy to use professional product.

Pros

It has excellent controls over our team's access. It is easy to make up templates and have our team modify them to use. I like the way it saves as you build the template. Great features.

Cons

The cost for small companies with low volumes is high. We have a large data base that is divided into 40 or more lists in different languages. We send out targeted marketing to selected real estate groups so the volume sent out per month is low. We only use lists appropriate for the property to avoid unsubscriptions but because our total number of subscribers is high, the monthly cost is higher than I believe is fair.

### "Not the best but not the worst"

March 26, 2019

3.0

Not bad, but for simple email campaigns. When I need to do something more complex, we decided to swith to another platform.

Pros

Campaign Monitor has great flexibility to build custom newsletter designs. It's one of the best compared to other similar platforms.

Cons

More complex features are not so pro as we would like. If you would like some automation features and connecting to other services, maybe you should look somewhere else.

### "Use is for simple campaigns"

July 10, 2018

3.0

Not much. Just gets simple tasks done.

Pros

That it at least has an API through which you could sync lists from your own database or external source

Cons

No way to edit html. Confusing UX for simple tasks. Using advanced segmentation is a pain. Due to recent changes, can't see how personalization tags work in test emails. No native support for simple survey emails.

Pros

Very nice interface, easy to learn and use, and you can easily customize lists based on your customer profiles.

### "More features than MailChimp"

April 7, 2019

5.0

I've used campaign monitor for a few years. It worked great for what I was doing, and they have spam prevention built into the setup process which I respect.

Pros

\- Template customization is really easy - Import email data from almost any source - Easily to build campaigns - Professional company that keeps spammers out - Journey designer

Cons

\- Image hosting can be messy. I usually host my images on a separate AWS server.

### "Campaign Monitor is the original mailing list innovator"

June 12, 2017

5.0

Want reliable and easy to use (but very powerful) email delivery service - then CampaignMonitor is a safe choice.

Pros

When a company pays attention to design and usability its a clear sign that they care about how well their software works. CampaignMonitor is that kinds of company. I've been using their services for nearly a decade and they never seize to amaze with the quality of their features. CampaignMonitor is very easy to use, both for creation of campaigns and for checking stats.

Cons

The price tag to check how the email design will look in different email clients. It would be nice to have this as a built in feature.

### "Solid ESP that's like the Toyota of email solid, dependable, but not feature-rich."

March 2, 2018

3.0

It makes it easy for us to send emails to our list of 200,000+ subscribers. While the features are basic, and we want to see more advanced controls and segmentation features added, it's a stable system.

Pros

Extremely solid and reliable ESP. Doesn't go down often, and there are minimal issues with deliverability. The features are basic, but solid and there aren't many bugs.

Cons

There's a strong lack of features. For example, there are no simple ways to send emails to an unopened segment. There's also no way to easily clean/prune inactive email subscribers. And third, there are limitations on automation triggers.

### "Campaign Monitor Gets the Job Done - But Not For Large Companies with Robust Needs."

May 21, 2020

4.0

If you're looking for an email-only program - i.e. only to create and send emails, and look at email stats - this is fine. But if you're in the market for a true email marketing platform that you use in conjunction with the rest of your marketing tools AND want to view how emails play a part in the customers' journey, then this isn't the platform for you. I'd recommend looking into Hubspot (or something similar), which acts as both a CRM, website, and email tool.

Pros

The ease of use is by far the best thing about Campaign Monitor. No background in coding or HTML? No problem! This platform lets you create visually-appealing emails with only a few clicks of a button. Looking at the email stats was very simple too. Overall it's a good, simple platform to meet your small business needs.

Cons

The fact that Campaign Monitor lives outside our system. We had been looking for a simple email marketing tool - which this was. But when we were ready to make the jump into a more robust platform (one that seamlessly integrated with our CRM), it wasn't possible. Plus, not being able to marry together the email insights into our customer actions/deals/leads was a big hindrance.

### "Great way to set clients up to send emails plus you make money"

March 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

This platform is great for agencies or freelancers who want to set clients up to send their own emails but you make a percentage which you determine with every send they executed. It is also easy to set up the templates with basic html code.

Cons

The customer service would be the one con as it took forever to get a response the one time I needed it.

May 7, 2015

5.0

I am the CEO of Trade Ideas and in 2014 we completely refocused on marketing aimed at our internal user base. Campaign Monitor was chosen after reviewing several other vendors. Since we started the launch using campaign monitor, our internal market based revenues have grown over 60%. This is exactly what a CEO hopes to achieve. I would highly recommend using Campaign Monitor for your marketing needs.

Pros

We love the visualizations and being able to drill into what is happening in our various campaigns.

February 7, 2018

Pros

I love the ease of importing contacts and how easy it is to create a beautiful email with a true WYSIWYG editing tool. Great set of templates to start with. Cool map to watch opens as they happen.

Cons

I don't have a lot of issues here. I wish that I could see every open but I know that's a limitation on some mobile devices and not CM themselves.

### "Fine - but there are better options"

December 14, 2023

3.0

Pros

To be fair, it's been a little while since I used it, but I don't remember it having any stand out features. It wasn't bad, but it didn't knock my socks off either. I liked the templates quite a bit. Very clean and modern.

Cons

It's a little bland. It does it's job just fine, but I prefer options like MailChimp or Klaviyo.

### "Does everything we need it to do and easy to use. "

August 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

\- I found it very easy to use and learn - We have relatively basic requirements (just send regular email campaigns) and it's perfect for that.

Cons

It would be great if we could save out brand colours somewhere so we could be sure that everyone follows the guidelines. I would like to have more flexibility in the email editor (e.g. switch between 1 and two columns in the same block). But I understand how that's really tricky to do with this builders so it might be asking for too much.

November 12, 2018

Pros

Anyone could be up and running within minutes, whether you're a pro or just getting started. Importing, then segmenting records, all the way to designing and sending emails is a cinch.

Cons

There's nothing to dislike about Campaign Monitor. It does everything we need it to and actually more than we expected. Also, the reporting is clear and easy to understand.
