Braze vs. UniSender

Its really well suited to brands with a mobile app. And from what I can glean from the features my org isn't able to take advantage of, its best suited for: - B2C brands that use social media - ecommerce (i.e. CPG) Otherwise, I am not convinced it is the tool I would recommend for users that do not have a mobile app. You're not getting most of the value from it.

I use it for sending promos and to present new products to existing and new customers. I'd say it's best for fields such as marketing, cosmetics, online courses, forums, meetings, and other types of businesses. Actually, any type of business can use such software to keep in touch with its' audience.

• Well looked after - Braze itself are always on hand to answer any questions and help us make our work better.
• Great tool - We use a fair bit of Braze but there
• are so many exciting features we're slowly incorporating, Braze is always building on what they have and this keeps us top of our game.
• Fantastic learning - I have advanced quickly in my work in Braze due to their support and learning programs. This has been key for me.

• Enabling GIF/videos to be directly uploaded on to Braze's platform
• Easier way of creating canvases; right now it is too complex for someone new who is starting off in the company to understand what things do and where things are
• Ability to track duplicate user profiles within the entire audience segment
• Automated deduplicating email addresses/phone numbers in each targeting segment; right now it's done manually after extracting csv files

It is an easy-to-understand platform, thanks to its design and accessibility. You can, for example, easily find any users and their data, check exact volumes of segments, follow the history of messages sent, and create reports. We can connect Braze with other platforms for analysis or email design (Snowflake, Hightouch, Stripo...).

Very responsive and helpful on simple questions, but not great other than that. They do not have a way for the customer/user to escalate a ticket. You have to contact your rep and in some cases, they don't respond within 24 hours so you have no idea if they have escalated it. There is no phone number for an urgent issue - you have to rely on email

Braze has its own strengths and weaknesses compared to Bloomreach and Hubspot. Personally I prefer Bloomreach for lifecycle journey and orchestration however I've felt integration and scaling to be more straightforward with Braze. Other platforms have been reviewed but for value for money at scale and quality of platform, Braze came out as the chosen one.

Unisender is cheaper than other softwares like this. It starts at $12 per month for everything. It has more features. The UX is less complex, responsive. It's cloud based, I can access Unisender from any device, anywhere. Overally I like it more than Mailchimp. Unisender's tech support is rapid - they help you right away.
