Although, Cordial was already our ESP when I was hired on. I believe the factors that led to us selecting Cordial were features and pricing. Cordial was more affordable and had comparable (if not better) features.
Chose Cordial
Cordial by far has the best UI for simple navigation.

I use MailChimp since it offers a free service with maximum features to get started. When we started to get a lot of clients we started to use Cordial Messaging and we are extremely satisfied with what we get back. Cordial is the best choice when we compare it to MailChimp and …

Likelihood to Recommend
If you need enterprise-level flexibility to organize, design, orchestrate, and execute email communications, then Adobe Journey Optimizer is potentially a very well-suited tool. Sending a high volume of emails is easily accomplished, and targeting either a broad or very targeted audience is also relatively easy. Regardless of your specific circumstances, this "best-in-class" option is worth a look.

HELPFUL: - Adding browse events to our website and subsequent automated trigger emails. - A/B testing on subject lines for automated templates. - Scheduling emails in the user's time zone. NOT HELPFUL: - A/B testing on subject lines for batch (manual) messages. - Sending to users based on their optimal email open patterns. - Stage vs Production interaction.

Usability
Like I said before some things are very friendly user, But the majority of capabilities are very difficult to access and really understand. That´s why there is a need of big groups in order to work with Adobe Journey Optimizer because a few people not would be able to own and know all the Items.

Each of these products represents a legacy solution that has been replaced by AJO. AJO allows for all of these marketing functions to live within a single platfrom. While AJO has a learning curve that is steeper than working with individual vendors, it does allow for a consolidation of knowledge and the underlying data stack, so eventual efficiencies may be realized over time
