Good tool for marketers, needs improvements

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Clevertap for behavioral analytics and customer engagement. We create targeted campaigns for specific segments, analyze campaign performance and take marketing decisions based on the engagement data. We intend to use it extensively but there are constraints with respect to many features not up to the mark OR due to broken features. However, the combination of SMS, Email, Push and In-App notifications make it a good tool to have.

Pros

  • Multi-platform engagement
  • Funnel Data
  • Marketing automation options

Cons

  • Customer service isn't that great [from my experience], most of the time the team is puzzled or will leave the client puzzled.
  • Price is very high with respect to the features available. MAU based pricing with a flawed sense of MAU calculation.
  • The way they calculate MAU is morally wrong. If a customer opens my email that I am sending via AWS, and they don't even come on my app, how can you consider them as active user?

Most Important Features

  • Notifications
  • Funnel Analysis
  • SMS & Email Integrations
  • Boards

Return on Investment

  • Positive: Saves manual work with automation.
  • Positive: Helps in realtime marketing.
  • Negative: Messes up with your data, can't rely completely.

Insights on Customer Engagement Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used CleverTap to keep track records of users and create automated campaigns regarding email and SMS as per the user events and even we used it for showcasing POP UP, but as we were facing some issues we shifted to moengage. It helped us in improving our business. Even though it helped us to know the user's behavior, what device he used, their location, and much more. Such data helps us with marketing, testing, and much more. Even the analytics help us to know how many events were triggered, did users engaged with campaigns or not. Even it had the functionality to deliver messages immediately or at a specific time which was very helpful.

Pros

  • It helps in enhancing the user experience and helps to increase the engagement, and even helps by keeping the tracks of events for example - which user clicked which event and what actions were taking place etc.
  • It even notices that which service has been not since a long and reminds about it , analytics is good and the communication made by CleverTap through mails and sms was good.

Cons

  • That it even creates multiple account for one email which should be improved , and search functionality should be improved too.
  • It should make its interface much more simple for new users and provide a module for better understanding.
  • Tracking particular user for particular functionality should be more helpful thats it

Return on Investment

  • It has helped in increasing our customer engagement on tax2win.
  • Has helped us to deliever the right information at right time to users and has even helped us with the promotional mails
