User Testimonials
CleverTapemfluence Marketing Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
[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.

The reporting feature is not as detailed as we require for our documentation, so we have to organize the results into charts and graphs. For every other component of our social media and digital marketing, emfluence checks all of the boxes.

Pros
  • 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.

  • The deliverabililty and placement reporting really provide insight as to where/when your message has landed with the end user. The preflight also allows you to make sure you have less chance of hitting the dreaded spam box.
  • We have used the platform many times for RSVPing to events. It is very useful in messaging respondents and sending separate follow ups to those that haven't responded. It also allows us to be able to easily collect check in lists for staff to have at the time the event starts.
  • We use the platform in part of our communication strategy to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The video link component has added an extra layer of fun to students and staff.

Cons
  • 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.

  • The email builder is hit and miss. Sometimes it brings in outside code, even when I paste text that matches the format, which loses us time and money.
  • More control of email templates, it feel as if it is over simplified.
  • Reporting lacks some depth in information and tracking specific users.

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.

It definitely does a better job for what we are doing for client than ClickDimensions, but Salesfusion is a platform that we ideally would like to use for all of our clients due to it's customization.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • We always have a very high rate of open percentage, which usually lead to more registration. We can track that we can have a large uptick in registrations after certain emails have been sent.
  • The more results we can gather like social media clicks, shares and likes and the email opens we can share with sponsors, the more they will come back as a sponsor and also possibly be more investing in our organization.
