Considered Both Products
SAP Emarsys
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys offered a way more flexible and modern user interface. Furthermore, the management of email campaigns seemed smoother, and simpler - which is essential concerning our rather small team size. Integration of automation programs using our product catalog was also crucial, …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys stacks up well against other email marketing platforms I've used. It doesn't particularly excel in any area, so it isn't heads and shoulders above other options, but it's solid in all areas. If you're looking for a safe option without too much dynamic content or …
Chose SAP Emarsys
These two products, Mailchimp and Constant Contact, were our very first experiences. However, we were highly unhappy with how they worked. With Emarsys, we can send messages to the audience at a mass level. Email advertising is one of our most favoruite features in Emarsys and …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys is the email specialist service giver for our whole association. We use it to send custom and mass messages to our clients across three distinct business divisions. Email advertising is one of our greatest income driving channels due to focusing on limitations from …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys is a much more robust platform than Constant Contact and Mailchimp. The CRM functionality, storage space for contact data, customization, etc. are all features that are limited in other email software programs.

HubSpot is not only marketed as an ESP. They are a more …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys under performs on every possible level. In my first 6 weeks using the system I had 4 ongoing support tickets with system malfunctions. Learning this platform for take a lot of time that is not required by other platforms.

They need to seriously improve the email …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys is more intuitive and easier to use than Adestra. Its customer personalisations and segmentation capabilities are stronger.
Chose SAP Emarsys
We have two branches, one in New York and one in Turkey. At first we were searching for a company which can provide service in both countries but there was no company had branches in both locations. Emarsys pointed their USA references working with European accounts and they …
Chose SAP Emarsys
Emarsys competes very well with its competitors
Mautic
Chose Mautic
Salesforce and Dynamics may be fine if you can afford them, but don't offer much more than what you get from Mautic, for free and with total control and longer term active development.

SugarCRM ended development and maintenance of their Community Edition around 2018. The …
Chose Mautic
Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement …
Chose Mautic
We had originally tested Mailchimp and Sendy, but they are best used as bulk email marketing tools. Where Mautic really shines is as a full-service contact resource center, so you can do full contact list management, as-complicated-as-you want drip campaigns, all still while …
Chose Mautic
I have used Acton Marketing Automation and Mautic is very comparable to it. Acton is very pricey for a small business and Mautic offers many of the same features. Acton does, however, have support that will setup your system for you. Mautic does not have that if you are setting …
Chose Mautic
Well, it's like the same tool, but with different features. Overall, it is a friendly tool, easy to use, reliable, and it protects private information. We love it as I said before, we recommend it. It's a great asset. Mautic has all you need for your marketing needs.
Chose Mautic
Mautic is the new kid on the block, bred from an open source product, we chose to purchase the hosted/supported version. I felt like it stacked up very well against Act-On and even Pardot. I like their data API push and pull with Salesforce - very quick, and the queue was …
Chose Mautic
Mautic's competitive advantage is cost. Other solutions can be prohibitively expensive, and some other marketing automation solutions I had used required costly up-front investment for onboarding. I chose Mautic because I had grown weary of the aggressive sales tactics and …

Mautic is well suited for users who do not require a lot of maintenance on the technical areas and have only the general requirements of the email marketing sector. In case the users have more precise requirements and are more focussed on the quality and a proper quantitative analysis, Mautic would not be an ideal choice. In other words for small companies Mautic would be an idea choice where the budget is a constraint and the extent of use is low but in cases where budget is not really a constraint against the performance and quality, Mautic would not be an ideal choice.

  • Mautic is very good at the tagging system.
  • Mautic is very good at tracking website visitors. Visitors are first marked as unknown, however, once you get a signup Mautic automatically updates their profile.

Cons
  • The email and content builder is significantly worse than other email marketing platforms I've used
  • Emails campaigns cannot be used in more than one automation flow
  • Amount of emails collected and being sent for smart insight are inaccurate
  • I've rarely completed a task without some type of user interface error
  • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
  • You have to pay extra for training
  • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
  • Lengthy contract with a high price tag
Read full review
  • Reporting can be very misleading sometimes, but you just need to get the hang of it
  • When emailing, you need to know the exact time zone the server is set on, because it may not send the task when you think it would.
  • We think it may have more room to add more templates, the one the platform has turned boring over time— I think it would be an interesting update.
