Likelihood to Recommend
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.

[In my opinion] It's [CleverTap] not appropriate for starter businesses. It's appropriate for businesses with very strong in-house tech teams to maneuver challenges on their own because after deep integration one can't expect Clevertap Support to be much helpful [from my experience]. It is good in the sense that you need one tool for all-around communications and analytics. However, they have moved away from the events container system, but those still on the events container are neither automatically educated nor transitioned into their new tiers of pricing. I find this a lack of effort of the sales team. So, you are on your own after the implementation.

Pros
  • Setting up the target audience within Airship using attributes is one of my favorites.
  • Airship has a very user-friendly interface with detailed documentation for self-help. I also enjoy the training sessions, articles and reports Airship organized as those are very insightful and useful.

  • Helping us find out which users did a certain activity and in which order. The time gap between those activities is also an important metric. This works great with Clevertap because our backend pushes every relevant event with a time stamp to CleverTap so we do not have to maintain events or build the engine to analyze every small action the user took.
  • Helps us find out which actions our best users take right before they convert. Given the e-commerce like domain we are in, we end up giving a lot of information to our users. Knowing which of these convert what kind of users is very useful.
  • Helps us setup super focussed campaigns (pop-up, emails etc) to users who would be interested in a certain kind of activity. Our yield per message sent is significantly more when targeting is right.

Cons
  • 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

  • It does not have a built-in SMS provider.
  • I does not have a built-in email provider
  • It gets pricier as you keep piling up data to be stored.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

I have also worked with Vibes, Salesforce, Pendo, and Swrve for mobile app marketing efforts, and I always come back to airship as delivering the best Push and In-App messaging capabilities. If you want a full service platform for Push and In-App messaging rather than configuring these channels through something that is no cost such as Firebase, then i would recommend Airship.

Mo Engage is cost-effective, charges less price and delivery is awesome, also that is quite [a] user friendly compared to the current clever tap UI and UX.

Return on Investment
  • 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

  • Helped improve repeat customer purchase, as it improved bookings through re-marketing.
  • Helped decrease uninstalls through dormant user reminder campaigns and then uninstall surveys that made those users reinstall the app.
  • Helped improve the overall bookings through various recency-frequency segmentation targeting.
