If you need enterprise-level flexibility to organize, design, orchestrate, and execute email communications, then Adobe Journey Optimizer is potentially a very well-suited tool. Sending a high volume of emails is easily accomplished, and targeting either a broad or very targeted audience is also relatively easy. Regardless of your specific circumstances, this "best-in-class" option is worth a look.

SimpleTexting has been wonderful for the purposes for which we signed up. We wanted an easy-to-use platform that allowed 2-way texting, assigned a phone number, had the ability to collect phone numbers/contact easily (whether through an import or a user sign-up, spoiler SimpleTexting has both), etc. It has provided all of that and more easily, without a contract. And the platform is so easy to use for our team. One of the only issues we're having is wanting to expand our use of SimpleTexting, and using multiple options for texting (i.e., shortcode, toll-free, landline/business enabling) has been difficult on one account.

  • SimpleTexting is easy to use. Multiple users can access the dashboard and send texts and manage contacts
  • We have had great success running multiple promotions at once by using different keywords to trigger various offers. For example, one keyword will trigger a free service, and another keyword will trigger a discount off product or service.
  • Simpletexting lets us segment our list which is extremely helpful in sending out market specific offers

Cons
  • It doesn´t keep the last search you sis in the journeys and you have to enter the search parameter every time
  • there is a window of time during the day that the audiences give out errors and you can´t see the estimates
  • I should be able to select STO in campaigns, not only in journeys
  • I should be able to select the email parameters when using campaigns

  • A lot of glitches and bugs, with promised fixes that keep dragging on for some time.
  • Mobile notifications are very buggy. You have to keep force-closing the app and re-opening it multiple times to get the notifications to refresh.
  • Constant toggling of 'Unread' and 'All' on mobile or desktop to get the notifications to clear and show up as opened, otherwise it will imply it's not read.
  • Also, sometimes new notifications don't show up.

Usability
Like I said before some things are very friendly user, But the majority of capabilities are very difficult to access and really understand. That´s why there is a need of big groups in order to work with Adobe Journey Optimizer because a few people not would be able to own and know all the Items.

With SimpleTexting updating little things here and there almost daily. We reach out to their support team constantly. They have one of the best response rates I have ever experienced! Normally it takes less than a minute to speak to a real person, but even if they are busy they have an answer bot send you articles to see if you can solve the issue yourself first! One of the best support teams ever

Each of these products represents a legacy solution that has been replaced by AJO. AJO allows for all of these marketing functions to live within a single platfrom. While AJO has a learning curve that is steeper than working with individual vendors, it does allow for a consolidation of knowledge and the underlying data stack, so eventual efficiencies may be realized over time

We chose SimpleTexting based on their starting messaging options as well as the no limitations on the number of keywords we can use. EZ Texting required a much more costly monthly commitment with fewer features that applied to our organization. We felt that SimpleTexting would allow us to utilize a better communication strategy by having multiple keywords for no extra charge

Return on Investment
  • Multichannel onboarding journey improving the engagement of freshmen in the business, resulting in a decrease in the dropout rate.
  • Separate business of anticipation of receivables from suppliers that used to be manual and now I have connected this entire operation via the S3 connector, less manual work and significant gains in conversions and payments

  • Because we are able to reach more people through subscribing, our number of donations has increased and the number of volunteers has increased. We have gone from an average of 5 volunteers an even to 25-30. Our donations increased by 25%.
