User Testimonials
Dynamic YieldSAP Emarsys
Likelihood to Recommend
It's ideal for testing continuous improvements in user experience - we're achieving good results from A/B testing and multivariate testing, and tracking the impact is very slick and compelling. We currently don't have any Dynamic Yield integrations set up for our app due to the complexities involved. We are also unable to track user behavior on platforms nested outside our domain (such as CTAs on our site that link to external booking engines).

Emarsys is highly recommended to every new or old organization for planned and well-managed marketing. If you want to reach the maximum market chains or to keep your data under highly confidential supervision or if you want many clients for your product or services, then Emarsys is the best option of all.

Cons
  • The impact (either positive or negative) of potentially overlapping campaigns, especially the UX personalization or custom code campaigns, may not be easily identifiable.
  • It would make more sense for the new deep-learning and machine learning (ML) driven strategies be made part of the standard offering, as opposed to positioning them as add-on subscription, given that many other completing services are baking in ML as part of their platform evolution.
  • The documentation on the API and custom code implementation can be fleshed out further.

  • The email and content builder is significantly worse than other email marketing platforms I've used
  • Emails campaigns cannot be used in more than one automation flow
  • Amount of emails collected and being sent for smart insight are inaccurate
  • I've rarely completed a task without some type of user interface error
  • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
  • You have to pay extra for training
  • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
  • Lengthy contract with a high price tag

Usability
Overall, the interface is not difficult to understand. Although to create campaigns or define strategies for recommendations, some study is required.
Also, some reports are hidden, you really need to know where to look in order to see them (e.g. strategies performance or email campaigns performance).
Also, there is a lack of context help that would improve a lot the usability, especially when you face a feature or a report for the first time.

Emarsys stacks up well against other email marketing platforms I've used. It doesn't particularly excel in any area, so it isn't heads and shoulders above other options, but it's solid in all areas. If you're looking for a safe option without too much dynamic content or advanced customizations, Emarsys will meet your needs.
