    We are mostly using Joomag in the content creation for Ads and public presentations. The development time is less when we go for the templates reference. The user interface is what we like most. The Easy steps of developing the content is very goog. To Joomag, they should start improving and put more feature in the content creation options, other market competitors are more focused on feedbacks and improving their solution

    Cons
    Joomag, Inc.
    • The Annual AMC cost is what is directly affects the revenues. They should come up with some content based subscription.
    • They should provide the word suggestion AI
    • It would be a cherry on the Top if have the spell check AI

    • Ion University, while stacked with a wealth of information, is difficult to navigate from a troubleshooting perspective. The tutorial videos are all very helpful, but they are also very long. Sometimes I would want to search for how to address a particular issue I was struggling with and it would be a two-minute segment buried in a 45-minute video.
    • Again, getting back the self-guidance side of things. I think a lot of the tutorials are set up in a way that makes sense to Ion, but not as much to the end user.
    • I think the controls admins use when creating new users could be a bit more straightforward.

    We use it for every landing page and we plan on only doing more dynamic content creation. We dont see that option coming in-house any time ever in the future. ION has a very robust platform for us to work with that really allows us to do more for our customers in regards to having the one-to-one conversation.

    Usability is straightforward, with extensive documentation and tutorials provided to ensure landing pages are built to specifications and can be optimized for performance. Built-in platform funnels give insight into customer dropoff, success/failures, and conversions (at a glance). Setting up a landing page can be done quickly and easily, with numerous integrations (CRMs like SalesForce, for instance) supported

    Outstanding support! The chat feature works great, I always get a fast response and they are relentless! Add to that the Joomag Academy, Blog, Case Studies, and White Papers, there is always an answer to a question and we've had some complicated ones over the years. You are never left wondering; they have a great customer communication system in place.

    The ION support team is amazing. There has not been a single issue they they could not solve for me. If there is a feature or request that they do not have, they have even, on occasion, created custom scripts for our team. *Update 6/5/17 - ION has continued to delight on multiple occasions. I appreciate their attention to detail and ability to solve whatever issue I have. After 3+ years of use and support, ION still has my full endorsement.

    Alternatives Considered
    Joomag, Inc.
    In the market you have so many free options, and you can refer them. But the Quality in content making is not on the side of being free. Joomag interface doesn't promote ads for their reveneues. The free softwares are filled with ads and unnecessary contents and interfaces. Joomag provides the exact amount of guide requires and have a good support hierarchy.

    I was not the decision maker to choose this over Uberflip, but the UI is much more appealing to me. It's incredibly easy to use, clean, and from a backend standpoint, it requires little to no tech savvy'ness. Our team has really enjoyed using it and has required no training what-so-ever.

    Scalability

    Separate client portfolios enable scalability, however, some elements are still grouped for all accounts so it's difficult to scale for an ad agency with multiple clients. Would prefer totally separate sections of the platform for all clients with each element housed separately.

    • Though we have not had the service long enough to see any measurable outcomes, we've been able to create interactive web content faster than ever before
    • The speed with which we can build interactive pages and re-use assets has been critical as projects we've done with Ion have made their way around and more and more internal clients have said "me too" for their own projects
    • It is very pricey at $28K for the base annual subscription (dropping to $24k after the first year), so depending on your budgetary situation, that may make no sense for your team--but we had contract money set aside for a company to build us a microsite for around the amount, so we just used it for Ion instead and will now be building the microsite ourselves using it
