Likelihood to Recommend
The platform is very similar to many of its competitors, and the only reason why some people chose this over others is its natural integration with Magento. For its limits, it is worth investing in an integration with another platform to save money in the long run.

Most of the time, if any issues are faced, IFS representatives address those issue immediately as previous users have also faced them. But when we face a certain issue which is new to the IFS representative, and there is little help available on IFS community, it takes time to resolve.

  • Screens containing several information fields are hard to visualize because the fields do not have any surrounding borders.
  • Some of the reporting functionality could be maybe more modern, but one sees development within IFS Customer Engagement so it probably is a matter of time before any desired changes are made, or worked around.
  • IFS Customer Engagement reports are transferable to Excel as data only or with the format selected for pdf reports. Sometimes it becomes too slow.

Usability
DotDigital is not difficult to use, however, the user interface could use some optimization. There are certain elements that can be challenging to find, and the menus are not always intuitive. However, the tool makes up for that with easy to use features, like creating segments, and allowing many rules to specify these particular groups.
