They both have their pros and cons, I feel it depends on the users that the products are targetting, SFMC is has more specialized customizations, Adobe does offer similar but require a higher technical knowledge which is not something that is provided bt the other product

The AJO UI is more intuitive. Oracle Cloud has a lot more functionality and robust capabilities. Marketing Cloud is mature. AJO does not offer a lot of OOTB capabilities.

MyCase previously didn't have texting (it does now). When we chose Zipwhip, there was nothing out there at the time that compared to it. We selected Zipwhip because it was a low-cost and easy-to-use add-on to our tech stack that allowed us to communicate quickly with people, …

We used DYL prior to getting Zipwhip but DYL is more expensive and is not integrated with our CRM.

While we still use Dialpad for calls since Zipwhip does not support calls, Dialpad gave us far less visibility into employee communications. We were always spending a lot of time discussing something that an employee said to another user without having the full context of the …

Zipwhip is just a little bit more user-friendly than AliveChat because it allows you to text people on more scale. AliveChat has a great website chat function, but its texting platform is a little more clunky than Zipwhip. Zipwhip is a little more expensive but definitely the …

We mainly use EZ Texting to bulk text when needed and we use Dialpad for our 1 on 1 communications via text now. Our voice is through Dialpad so it is a lot more efficient for agents to be in one place for all manners of communication. EZ Texting allows us to bulk text where …

None. I wasn't involved in the decision making, however, I like all the options Zipwhip has to offer.

Enabling the business number is a key feature for us. Also, their pricing is all inclusive which is super helpful and a lot easier when it is not per text pricing model for our kind of business and reselling.

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.

Zipwhip is well suited for brief communication at scale. Our Fan services reps after close to 1,000 accounts, and this allows them to get out quick messages at scale. It is less appropriate for longer messages where email or a phone call is the better route to reach out.

Cons
  • It doesn´t keep the last search you sis in the journeys and you have to enter the search parameter every time
  • there is a window of time during the day that the audiences give out errors and you can´t see the estimates
  • I should be able to select STO in campaigns, not only in journeys
  • I should be able to select the email parameters when using campaigns

  • I would like the quick-use app that pulls from the taskbar to be able to hold more characters- It can only do 250 while the main screen can do 600.
  • The ability to send video through this program would significantly enhance its functionality for us.

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.

It was very easy for users to use, straight forward, and user friendly. The desktop app is very basic but easy to reply to an incoming text, but the user had to know to allow Chrome notifications to see new incoming text via the web browser, which is how they mainly used it.

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

We hadn't really looked at other services before choosing Zipwhip as there were not a lot of test-to-landline companies when we began looking. The price was right and the customer service was amazing. It was easy to learn the software and to onboard our entire team. When we began letting our customers know about the new texting capability we had, they were curious about it and grew to love it. Because we're able to link it with their trip, they not only can receive status updates but also a link to our GPS, so they can see where their chauffeur and vehicle are in real-time, along with a photo of the chauffeur and the vehicle. This function is perhaps our corporate clients' most favorite feature as they don't have to call to see where the vehicle for their VIP is; they can watch it in real-time. For group work, Zipwhip lets us send the program manager customized updates for all of their booked trips. This is such a time saver in so many ways. Time is money and for a small business, there are many ways that this helps. Our employees spend less time on the phone and productivity is increased. Texting is great too as it serves as documentation should any issues arise.

  • They out of the blue raised the price 300% on us that negatively impacted the budget we had planned out for the year.
  • Initially it did help increase contact rates.
  • Time consuming and hard to manage.
