Considered Both Products
Braze
Chose Braze
Easier than the big ones and more robust and than the small ones. Braze seems to be a great fit for teams that need to move fast, cannot spend a lot of time in certifications and training and are able to adapt to innovation. As for pricing, Braze has different pricing depending …
Chose Braze
I think Braze is the strongest currently. I found Emarsys to be very difficult to navigate and clunky. Ometria I found to be a good platform, however, more difficult to scale. My role using Ometria was more integration focused so had more exposure to the challenges with …
Chose Braze
Braze is easy to use and offers excellent modern functionalities, making it ideal for contemporary marketing. The training support and implementation support provided by Braze are also good. In terms of mobile-friendly email creation and personalisation, Braze has stood out. …
Chose Braze
Userback does not have mobile SDKs and Instabug cannot do property level filtering for events. So both of these are limited in getting the right message to our users at the right time. In addition to this, Braze allows us to filter by audience properties, so we can reach out to …
Chose Braze
Braze was built with mobile at its core, offering strong support for push, in-app messaging, and mobile SDKs ideal for app-driven businesses. Iterable, while solid in email and web, is generally less mobile-native by comparison
Chose Braze
Unlike MailChimp, Braze goes beyond just email and SMS as communication channels. With communication channels like push notification, in-app message, and content card, Braze is clearly a superior platform for customer engagement. Also, Braze offers more options for dynamic …
Chose Braze
I think Braze is best for app-first companies. We selected Braze for its ease of use and robust feature suite.
Chose Braze
Mailchimp is fine for bulk email and some light automation, but it still centers on email; push or in-app support feels tacked on, and new segments update only after hours. Braze gives us email, push, SMS, in-app, and web all native, with data streaming in real time, so …
Chose Braze
pricing structure is better for a growing company - features are similar (to cio at least)
Chose Braze
I don't remember the names, but we used at least two others before we switched to Braze, and they were all inferior.
Chose Braze
Braze is superior top Iterable, full stop. Their partner integrations gives us more freedom to choose the vendor that fits our company the best, not forcing us to choose the one vendor that's compatible or resigning to having siloed data. Also, the Braze team goes the extra …
Chose Braze
Active Campaign is not in the list, but in general, it is significantly less powerful and requires a subscription and add-on pricing structure, which is not good for a start-up in a scale-up phase. Braze is well-suited for long-term growth and scaling from a small to a large …
Chose Braze
I wasn't part of the decision-making process for selecting Braze, since I joined the company after Braze was already "integrated" with our company. I'd still say that Braze would me my 1st choice compared to other tools that I used in the past.
Chose Braze
Braze is by far the most user friendly tool. The frequency and usability of the super regular product releases they roll out really sets them apart in a stale marketplace historically dominated by Salesforce, Adobe and other big players. They think App first - critical in the …
Chose Braze
It was more complicated on Salesforce to create personalized and customized campaigns. Braze is a platform that has it all.
Chose Braze
Feels less clunky, easier to navigate, equally stacked on features that matter. May have some ways of working that are different from peer solutions, but trades speed and reliance over inefficiently designed or risky solutions.
Chose Braze
Acoustic was becoming too expensive and we had email and SMS with separate providers so we were looking for a way to cut costs and merge into one provider.
Both Acoustic and Attentive were becoming very expensive as well and Braze provided all the functionalities that we were …
Chose Braze
Braze has many features that these tools don't, like a heatmap, a catalogue, the ability to create tons of attributes, and easy-to-use template features.
Chose Braze
salesforce is better suited for the sales funnnel or for B2B rather than B2C so in this case Braze already stacks up great as a wonderful B2C all-rounder product. Mailchimp, firebase and others ive used are gragmented as they all offer different features and are not a ONE …
Chose Braze
I don't have a lot of other experience using software other than Braze. However the product has not given me much need to look elsewhere for another vendor and I am generally very happy with it for my use.
Chose Braze
Braze is much more real-time, has an updated interface, and offers in-app communication, unlike SFMC. The only downside is that Liquid isn't quite as powerful as AMPscript.
Chose Braze
Braze feature for ecommerce retail brands is better and the readyto use usecases are a big support
Chose Braze
Braze seems to work better at scale. And is more reliable. Has some more functionality. But as always, is not perfect.
Sitecore Send
Chose Sitecore Send
I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing …
Chose Sitecore Send
Simple yet powerful email marketing tool designed to automate every aspect of email marketing so that email marketers can perform tasks faster and engage with visitors in an accurate and timely manner.
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend is known as more of an industry standard than BuzzStream (which is a more budget tool), and it shows. BuzzStream has clearly cut corners in areas of usability and general UI, where Moosend, on the other hand, seems to have done it right from the beginning. Moosend is so …
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend was the most affordable and the easiest to use. Moosend seemed to have the best reviews as far as we read. We wanted to try something new and so far have had nothing but success; however, those other programs may be just as good. We went with Moosend based on reviews …
Chose Sitecore Send
The simple interface and lower cost. Simple automation in a couple of clicks easy to set up.
Chose Sitecore Send
We use both MailChimp and Moosend, and I prefer to use MailChimp for most campaigns. As compared to MailChimp, I think it is more difficult to manage lists on Moosend. It's also harder to preview past campaigns, review campaign performance, or manage saved templates for …
Chose Sitecore Send
Sitecore Send's CMS allows our businesse to create, manage, and deliver content across multiple channels, ensuring a consistent brand experience. Its digital marketing tools enable businesses to automate email marketing, personalize website content based on user behavior, and …

Likelihood to Recommend
Its really well suited to brands with a mobile app. And from what I can glean from the features my org isn't able to take advantage of, its best suited for: - B2C brands that use social media - ecommerce (i.e. CPG) Otherwise, I am not convinced it is the tool I would recommend for users that do not have a mobile app. You're not getting most of the value from it.

Moosend has industry-leading features and budget friendly plans suitable for budget-minded businesses. It enables businesses to execute marketing campaigns successfully and has robust workflow automation. I recommend their Pro plan to any marketing professional out there because of how it helps to strategically handle all marketing needs by boosting the level of automation.

Pros
  • Well looked after - Braze itself are always on hand to answer any questions and help us make our work better.
  • Great tool - We use a fair bit of Braze but there
  • are so many exciting features we're slowly incorporating, Braze is always building on what they have and this keeps us top of our game.
  • Fantastic learning - I have advanced quickly in my work in Braze due to their support and learning programs. This has been key for me.

Cons
  • Enabling GIF/videos to be directly uploaded on to Braze's platform
  • Easier way of creating canvases; right now it is too complex for someone new who is starting off in the company to understand what things do and where things are
  • Ability to track duplicate user profiles within the entire audience segment
  • Automated deduplicating email addresses/phone numbers in each targeting segment; right now it's done manually after extracting csv files

  • If you have more than 1000 subscribers you will be required to upgrade to the Pro plan.
  • Free plan users have limited customer support.

Usability
It is an easy-to-understand platform, thanks to its design and accessibility. You can, for example, easily find any users and their data, check exact volumes of segments, follow the history of messages sent, and create reports. We can connect Braze with other platforms for analysis or email design (Snowflake, Hightouch, Stripo...).

Pretty straight forward but it takes sometime to get used to. Not exactly like WordPress or other open source cms but it gets the job done

Support Rating
Very responsive and helpful on simple questions, but not great other than that. They do not have a way for the customer/user to escalate a ticket. You have to contact your rep and in some cases, they don't respond within 24 hours so you have no idea if they have escalated it. There is no phone number for an urgent issue - you have to rely on email

Braze has its own strengths and weaknesses compared to Bloomreach and Hubspot. Personally I prefer Bloomreach for lifecycle journey and orchestration however I've felt integration and scaling to be more straightforward with Braze. Other platforms have been reviewed but for value for money at scale and quality of platform, Braze came out as the chosen one.

I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing the communication among the customers and company. Nothing can beat this application in making work flow, and we admit its strategies to make the company marketing strong and in the pipeline are also in consideration to put forward for implementation.

Return on Investment
  • We saved a couple of million by switching from Salesforce to Braze.
  • We increased our engagement for a limited-time promo by 33% by simply running a 4-variant subject line test.
  • We managed to reduce our unsubscribe volume by 18% by excluding dormant users.

  • Moosend is quite affordable (500,000 emails for $500), so it's easy to see an ROI. It only takes a few recipients converting to make a campaign worth the spend.
