If you need the reporting and analytics on the data associated to your email sends then StrongMail is the way to go. All the data is available in the message studio interface down to how specific ISPs are responding in real-time. Additionally the log files are robust to where if you need to mine the files to further parse the information it is both possible and easy based on the structure and classification of the data, i.e. success logs are separate from failure logs, deferrals that either end up succeeding or failing are separate from each other and also separate from straight successes.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Selligent has more flexibility than other ESPs, and complex features, such as segmentation and content blocking, are much more intuitive with Selligent than WhatCounts, Yesmail, MailChimp, Constant Contact, or Teradata.
