Iterable is great for any marketing team looking to ramp up the capabilities on lifecycle marketing specifically if you're a company with a lot of data and/or SKU's the product makes handling a lot of complexities much simpler and enables my team to move much faster even as a small team

When the business is expected to scale and expand, tools such as this proves very handy where it helps to target the correct segments or correct audiences with the right offerings, thereby increasing the chances of transaction or desired action from the user while saving pennies which could have been burnt if a blanket approach would have been used. Automation saves a lot of time and effort for the marketers and businesses boosted due to its operation.

Pros
  • 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 implementation of APIs.

Cons
  • 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

  • Relays
  • Onsite should have more options of templates.
  • Backend support for better reachability of the channels.
  • Cohort studies should be more customizable.

Usability
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

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
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.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
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.

WebEngage's dashboard is relatively more intuitive and easy to understand. Further in terms of cost as well it is value to money as it delivers excellent ROI. The after-sales support is also better in terms of responsiveness and helps in case of issues with the execution of campaigns. The account managers also ideate and help in the optimization and creation of new user journeys.

Scalability
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.
