    For employee engagement, where you want to learn their complaints or business demands, Altova SurveyMaker will help you. Further, for a comprehensive market research, where clients are many and in different locations, Altova SurveyMaker will act as a suitable data collection tool. The analytical part is also well developed, as there are APIs, working in hand with the tool for reliable reporting.

    If you require an easy to use email marketing tool that your team can quickly get up and running with then Intuit Mailchimp is a great option. I haven't had any team member struggle with their drag and drop email builder and the steps you have to take to add an email, create and send a campaign are all straightforward.

    • Mailchimp allows you to manage your mailing list really well. You can subscribe people, unsubscribe people manage the mailing list directly into segments, and what not.
    • Mailchimp has features where you can create campaigns based on your mailing lists and send out newsletters to your subscribers based on a multitude of parameters that you can setup. Such as send email daily, weekly, monthly and they also have event based mails that you can send out.
    • Mailchimp also has a feature where you can design your emails. The look and aesthetics are very important when sending emails to your subscribers and all those needs are addressed here.

    Cons
    Altova
    • The pricing plan is not favorable to the business starters; expensive.
    • The lack of a super speedy backup plan discourages us from using Altova SurveyMaker.
    • The response team, like customer help, is not speedy enough.

    • The interface remains a cluttered, non-intuitive mess. That's true from the haphazard way features are organized to the actual email layout.
    • Analytics have never been a priority, and I don't see that changing with Intuit's new ownership. I'm very frustrated over the limited choices for reporting, even when using third-party solutions. If I needed that function, I would not use MailChimp.
    • I would love to develop a workflow screen that lets me focus on the things that I use all the time. Customizing the interface where the content actually goes into the software would help.
    • I never understood why we couldn't import a document into a MC template. At best, we're spending time copying-and-pasting from one app into MC.

    We've had Mailchimp for about ten years, I want to say. I started with the company about four years ago, and I don't see us ever diverting to another source. It's easy for us to use, and we have all our clients already built into the database. I imagine we'll use them for as long as we have the company.

    Usability

    Altova SurveyMaker is an active application, giving reliable survey results, and the coordination the program has with different apps makes it stable and reliable. The templates with the application make usage possible, as they have a guide and classes are also online. Altova SurveyMaker has advanced analytical options for statistical inferences and reporting.

    The interface is a bit complicated, and I need to spend some time to learn new functions and understanding how it works. I don't like working with email templates because of the limited customization options. However, functions like AI for generating emails, segmentation, and analytics still work well and are very useful.

    I have, in the 4+ years that I've used Mailchimp, never seen an issue that restricted the use of their software/tools. I don't know of a single time when they're system crashed or went down. I could be wrong, but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with outages, errors or unplanned downtime

    I haven't noticed any slow speeds from Mailchimp or their tools. I think the landing pages load quickly and look nice. The email reports and editing operates smoothly and doesn't take time to load. Additionally, when I use Mailchimp in conjunction with Zapier + Hubspot I don't notice any drag between any of these tools

    Support Rating
    Altova
    Altova SurveyMaker support is not the best, but sometimes the customer help is ready to help. I would suggest that the developer establish better means of communication between the software users and the customer help or the technical department, so that when a challenge comes, an immediate solution is found.

    Website tools were easy to use and understand so a novice can easily meet or exceed their client's expectations! Loved that we were able to totally customize so that the e-mail we created conveyed our client's overall messaging consistent with their branding! Client love that we can provide turnkey services to support their sales and marketing teams!

    It's pretty easy to get up and running! There's a slight learning curve on a few things, but once you find where everything is located, you can import your list and send your first email. It really makes our clients feel great to see how quickly they can get that first email out.

    Altova
    Altova SurveyMaker has an incredible way of designing questionnaires, giving us the chance of collecting the exact information we want. Altova SurveyMaker has almost 200 templates, and, luckily enough, there are editable, allowing us to learn as we do business. The convenience of Altova SurveyMaker is amazing, as it supports even live surveys.

    I don't think they are comparable; we use Google Ads to put our website at the top of the list when someone googles certain words. We use meta business to manage our social media. Google aims to gain customers, while Mailchimp is used to interact with both existing and new customers.

    Mailchimp over the years I've used it has grown in leaps and bounds. They have added so many additional features than were previously available. They are truly an all-in-one marketing platform now. If you're a small operation and just want to add email to your marketing efforts, they're there for you. If you're a larger operation and want to start sending postcard advertisements, they can do that. If you'd good with that and want to kick up your marketing by going social, you can do that on their platform. They are truly able to be as small as you need, but also get quite large in whatever it is you'd like to do through their system.

    • One of my retail web store clients was sending out email specials and notices about once a month. After clicking the send button, we would watch Google Analytics and the current site users would light up immediately. Often, the current site visitors would pop up to 20, 30 or more after the email was sent. On a normal day, seeing 1 or 2 online users would be OK.
    • Pretty much in all cases, we could see an uptick in positive activity after sending out a Intuit Mailchimp email to a list.
