User Testimonials

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.

I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
available to help close deals successfully.

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.
