    Likelihood to Recommend
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    Well-Suited for: 1. Mobile App Notifications: Ideal for targeted push notifications in apps. 2. Customer Segmentation: Effective for personalized marketing campaigns based on user data. 3. Event-Triggered Automation: Great for automated messaging based on user actions. 4. A/B Testing: Useful for optimizing campaign messages and strategies. Less Appropriate for: 1. Non-Mobile Channels: Less effective if the primary focus is on non-mobile communications like email or direct mail. 2. Basic Email Marketing: Other platforms might be better suited for simple, broad email campaigns without complex segmentation or personalization needs.

    Lyris LM is suited well with an organization or group that have several lists, as virtual list hosting is not represented by any other hosting company as far as I can tell.

    Pros
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The marketing push notifications are very effective, and it gives us free hand to define different business criteria to target user groups
    • The user experience or the message content could differ from Android and iOS, and this is a huge benefit for us
    • As an Architect, troubleshooting an issue is very detailed and the time it takes to troubleshoot an issue is considerably less from our previous product

    • Reports: extensive reporting on mailings and membership. Pre-built reports/charts include Mailings, Members, Server Performance, Web site, Purchases, Interest and Surveys. If Aurea ListManager doesn't have the built-in chart needed, you can easily create your own.
    • Easy to analyze mailings: Completed mailing can be analyzed quickly. Options include viewing any errors that may have resulted, and checking list performance, evaluating recipient actions, ( opens, click-troughs). Details can be seen on a per-recipient basis, allowing you to see exactly what happened with each message sent.
    • Discussion Lists. There are numerous list setting to customize each list.

    Cons
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The automated A/B testing winner selection and application should be added
    • The flexibility of message shape, specifically incorporating transparency so messages do not need to be a rectangular shape
    • Faster and more reliable servers around the globe
    • Making more detailed use cases and tutorials to be followed can simplify things for users

    We will most likely not use Lyris LM for much longer. We have recently been offered to utilize a different software that better meets our needs, is current, user friendly, and has fantastic reporting capabilities.

    Usability
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    The interface takes a bit getting used to in order to know how to take advantage of everything. Some of the analytics that are available are particularly hard to find, so it's important to pay attention when customer support reviews everything, but everything I'd want and need in terms of Push and In-App messaging is all there.

    I have not had to interact much with customer support as I have been able to find the vast majority of the answers I'm looking for within their documentation, which I very much appreciate because it saves me a lot of time. Customer support has been responsive and helpful for the most part during the couple of interactions I've had.

    We've tested a bunch of different CRM tools over the years and Airship has been a winner for its functionality, features, cost, and ability to integrate with other softwares that we use. It has been great for SMS and mobile in particular. It could certainly be a one stop shop for CRM.

    We selected Lyris LM based on cost, the fact that we can create custom reports and the way that they handle bounced emails just to name a few, It is easy to use and we have control of who can and cannot use. With a virtual list I can create a list or take a list down at any given time without filling out a form or contact with my provider and my list looks as if it is coming from my own server @museum.com.

    Return on Investment
    Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
    • The ROI has increased more than approx. 50% (exact details to be confirmed) based on cross-channel orchestration
    • Using push notifications alone, we have seen a huge increase in app engagement which was a challenge before to nudge users to get back to the App after initial download

    • Aurea as a company is mediocre with support. The former LM staff was better informed about the product.
    • LM can do almost anything you need. it's complete.
    • ROI has suffered as Aurea has not updated the product, charges a considerable amount for renewals, promises with no results.
