Likelihood to Recommend
I had problems sending and communicating to one hundred and fifty (150) clients. I was supposed to send them information about the ongoing migration and training for new suppliers for our new program. Since the emails and client information is a lot, I had to seek for help. That's where Mailmeteor came in, I was advised by a colleague and I have been using it ever since.

Mailshake is great for cold prospecting and drip email campaigns. I do not think Mailshake is well-suited for hyper-personalized one-to-one emailing.

Cons
  • The website is too simple.
  • You need to accurately arrange email placement, won't accept separation as simple as "coma".
  • Though it may provide real time assessment on the status of the communication sent, most of the time especially when encountering errors, it doesn't provide exact info on what the errors were.

  • Mailshake works only with Gmail/G Suite accounts.
  • The only option for customizing emails is in the CSV file. It would be great if there were a feature in the tool for this.
  • Missing starts about the total number of opens of an email (it is only tracked once).

Usability
As mentioned, on a daily basis, communication serves a vital role though my job. That's why having a partner that could provide assistance with the task that makes most of my overall workload, keeps my mind at ease and will always provide a breeze in progress. In every milestone that we hit, truly Mailmeteor is part of it.

I found it pretty good - we were able to put email templates and campaigns together almost immediately. The reason I gave it an 8 is because if you want to edit those templates, the saving and making sure they were part of the campaigns was a little tricky and not intuitive.

Quick support. They offer very extensive and detailed tutorials on how to use the tool, as well as how to succeed in sending emails the right way. It probably reduces the number of support tickets and general support needs. The videos make it very easy to use their solutions. Great way to educate new clients.

You can use Mailchimp or SendGrid for similar use, with Mailchimp the email automation is limited, and SendGrid holds up quite well. However, Mailshake is strictly designed and well equipped for email outreach and unusually cold emails, and its usability is second to none.

  • I'd say it was a net negative for us because the initiative did not lead to sales for us. It was probably HOW we were using it, and not the fault of the product itself. If you have luck with cold emails, and just need a new platform, Mailshake could be a great, and inexpensive option. Our loss was mostly employee time, and learning what doesn't work for us is a positive in the end.
