UI and usability are much better than all of them. While others offer tags which is my preferred method of list management, they're severely lacking in usability.

I appreciate that for a smaller but growing company, Campaign Monitor was more of a just right size for us compared to Marketo, but had more functionality to grow with us than MailChimp.

To be honest I haven't tried the competition because they seemed to be very good. I am sure the product is excellent - it's the support I am unhappy with. If support was better I would be more comfortable with them - but I cannot recommend a product where you can't 100% trust …

Campaign Monitor is better than the competition because the design editor works better than any other program I've used in the past such as Mailchimp and Constant Contact. The designs are more dynamic and you don't need to know how to tweak code to get it to lay out …

Not as comprehensive as other email marketing platforms, and not as competitive when it comes to pricing for entry-level users. It does have advantages in the easy to use drag-and-drop editor, but not enough to truly stand out from the competition.

Campaign Monitor by Marigold is great at both scaling up as you grow (i.e. for a startup or if you're starting fresh on building a subscriber list) and providing more than just basic templates and tooling. We vetted across a lot of different options to account for where we were starting and where we hope to grow into with our opt-in email marketing, and Campaign Monitor stood out.

Campaign Monitor’s support is great. They have a great help page built out to help answer all your questions, and if you do have a question or issue that needs extra support, their support team responds within a couple hours to help resolve the issue.
The email builder is very clean and easy to use. It makes A/B testing, personalization, and dynamic content easy to implement.
I appreciate the insights reporting that Campaign Monitor provides. We use that regularly for our quarterly reporting to track list growth, as well as campaign performance from a high level.
The automation is very straight forward and has truly transformed our marketing. The learning curve is pretty low, so my entire team knows how to use it to create and edit automated email journeys.

I'd prefer a central contact list with tags, rather than multiple lists. I can have one person on 5 lists and that counts as 5 subscribers.
While the email builder is very good, I'd prefer more customisation options.
Updates they make are good, but are perhaps a little slow.
I'd like better mobile compatibility. I get that might not be possible for the email builder (although aiming for that would be great) but for lists, reports etc there's no reason that shouldn't be mobile-compatible or have a mobile app.

It flexes with us both because of the tiered pricing, and due to the comprehensive tools available. We're able to go from one newsletter to many, and few automations to many very easily while not paying for a Cadillac when what we need is a sturdy crossover.

It's a very user friendly tool and a highly intuitive interface. It's really clearly thought out, so from a users perspective it feels very simple. By comparison, we've also used Mailchimp, and when comparing one to the other, the Mailchimp dashboard is far less logical and intuitive.
