What differentiates Mailchimp from other similar products?

If having a newsletter service that integrates with other tools is important to you, then Mailchimp is potentially a good option. It offers hundreds of integrations to both popular and niche applications like Zapier and WordPress.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love that Mailchimp continues to innovate and add new features to its offering. Recently they added an appointment schedular which has been extremely helpful for us when offering customers consultancy slots with available account managers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although the free plan is very good for a startup or small business; the prices get pretty steep pretty quickly as you start to increase your subscriber count and number of emails sent.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

MailChimp is decent tool, with its ease of use and range of features, as well as their free and pay-as-you-go plans. It is important to bear in mind though, that their subscription plans are relatively expensive compared to other available newsletter tools.

Pros

Generous Negotitation
Continually Improving Product
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Commodity Features
Charges for Enhancements

Not a lot. From what I read and see, there are many products on the market that offer better functionality, design customisation and usability. However I do not have personal experience using them.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of data management and segmentation. It is very easy to manage segmentation through the use of tags and groups.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It just feels clunky and outdated compared to other products. It seems limiting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Allow for more customisation and more variety in the preset templates.
