• It is easy to onboard new users with building communications. The drag and drop editor is very intuitive to use.
• Allows for complex data structures on user profiles and in events. This is a key reason we onboarded to Iterable and have stayed with it.

• Easy to contact
• Responds very quickly
• Provides accurate information

• Locale management: being able to copy and past a template section/row/content from a locale to another. Also, be able to duplicate any locale to any locale. So far we can just duplicate the default locale into the rest of the locales
• Outages - I feel in the last 1 and half, more outages are happening, impacting their clients
• Image library

Incentivized

• Performance, as some of the tasks run in batch.
• Extensibility could take time for complex functionalities.
• At least the cloud version should be more powerful in terms of processing.

Extremely easy to use, deeply integrated into our infrastructure

Iterable is super easy to use. I have experience with competing platforms, but Iterable is by far the most intuitive platform to use. I also really appreciate the way the product team is willing to accept product requests

Iterable is there like 99.9% of the time. However, when it goes down, it grinds us to a halt. Most of the time, outages are an hour or less, but if that's at a peak time, it can be a nightmare. That said, when the worst does happen, there are frequent updates and an easy situation tracker that give you an estimate of how much longer you'll have to wait for the issue to be resolved.

The API is super quick. The UI can be a little sluggish depending on what you're loading, but overall Iterable performs great. Iterable appears to do a good job of making processes async so that one action isn't blocking another.

I've never experienced any issues with Iterable. As I and my colleagues have learnt the system and it's features, response to questions and advice from our account manager is always quick. Kevin knows the product well, and with the few tricky questions has hasn't been able to answer he's been quick to get back to us.

As mentioned previously, I was hired to do a migration from ActiveCampaign, and I stayed for 2 years as a power user of Itearble. Since leaving OneVision Resources, I have continued to volunteer my time in a regional user group, which I would not do if the platform, product, and company were not so strong and so marketer-forward.

Some of the functionalities from AEP are, in principle, more advanced than Pega (for example, the building of flows, and data privacy, among others). However, Pega has been long in the market and therefore it is a more mature tool. Also, Pega's interface is easier to learn. The decision between both would depend on the use case and the other tools surrounding this technology.

We've definitely tested scalability, and it's no line - it works. The process is pretty easy. Most of the times it goes off without a hitch. Any time we do encounter issues, our support team is quick to get on the job and very communicative as they work us through a successful launch.

• I do not have hard numbers, as I am not in the department that deals with those kinds of quantifications of impact. However, I do believe the use of Iterable has been a positive thing for us in providing more comprehensive data that is useful when dealing with customer tickets.

• Reduced the manual effort due to introducing automation
• Increased customer satisfaction
