    Chose Bananatag (discontinued)
    The decision to use Bananatag was not mine but I have grown more used to the platform and have gradually learned to like it, once people have designed the template. The chrome extension is excellent, the ability to download a PDF or html version of the content to be shared is a …

    Bananatag is very well suited to creating messages that are going to be used on a regular basis but don't require much in the way of changing or amending. It is also a very handy platform to track sending emails and the watermarking technology is very handy. As far as range of designs compared to something like Mailchimp it doesn't compare well.

    Pros
    Staffbase GmbH
    • Easy to use and install, particularly with Gmail for business.
    • It has a simple feedback system, if a client reads an email, you get an emailed read receipt telling you the time of them doing so.
    • It runs in the background, is virtually undetectable and will not hinder any communication in the slightest.

    Support Rating
    Staffbase GmbH
    Have not really had many opportunities to use the support function but my experience was limited and a little bit clunky. It was not particularly responsive or helpful in terms of trying to resolve the query I was working on. I think the problem was solved by another member of the team that worked on designing their own template.

    Bananatag is a free-standing application that plugs into your email service provider. As such, you do not need to be logged into another application to see the results or the real-time tracking of emails like you would with other email trackers. The free application is great if you just need to track a few outbound emails, but the paid plans offer a much more robust tracking service that would allow you to get any and all information you could desire from an email being tracked

    Return on Investment
    Staffbase GmbH
    • It has sped up communication with the client because you have insight into how they are receiving and looking at material you have sent them.
    • It has not had any negative impact on the business or our operations.
