User Testimonials
	Ably	SmartFocus, now part of Actito
Likelihood to Recommend	Ably No answers on this topic	Actito Before we used SmartFocus we had a simple bespoke drag and drop builder, where we could add as many "templates" as we wanted. In SmartFocus, the drag and drop builder is smoother and better, but you can't add your own templates. If you are happy with the provided templates, then building newsletters will be really good experience. Incentivized Verified User Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Ably No answers on this topic	Actito We need a service where we can have support when necessary and a system that will handle a high amount of campaigns, with the functionality where even a junior member of the team can create a campaign from assets provided by the graphic team. SmartFocus has that. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
