    The solution is suitable for complex journeys with many touchpoints.
    The tool has the advantage of being easy to use.
    On the other hand, I have not found any data import solutions avoiding re-entering all the data from Excel for example. It could save a lot of time. Indeed, for me, the tool is a tool for formalizing discoveries but other solutions can be used before

    WebEngage can easily reduce turnaround time for product and marketing teams to execute marketing campaigns for specific user segments as well as remove any dependency on internal tech teams for the development and maintenance of automation journeys. Further, A/B tests can be executed to measure the performance of message variants in real-time directly from the panel. But WebEngage lacks a robust Analytics platform. While basic metrics such as open rate and click-through rate for messages being sent can be considered for reporting, attribution is still not the strongest suit in case the marketing team relies on multiple Ad networks for acquisition. Thus, as per experience, it's better to use the automation suite offered by WebEngage with a different data analytics platform.

    It’s [easier] to deal with user journey and persons thanks to Smaply. Templates and already created and there is a lot of functionalities to make a complete journey map. It’s very intuitive and we can send it easily to our team. Stakeholder map is a feature that [not many software] have and that is very useful so I’m happy to have it in Smaply

    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.
