JangoMailEverest (Return Path + 250ok)
Considered Both Products
JangoMail
Chose JangoMail
We used to use outlook to send out emails to our subscribers, which is not very efficient. With JangoMail, we were able to send emails more efficiently and quickly, which save us a lot of times. It is also more professional than sending through outlook. However, JangoMail is …
Chose JangoMail
I selected JangoMail because I wanted to try something new. Usually I find myself using YAMM which is Yet Another Mail Merge but using a new interface was refreshing and it was also very easy to learn and use. I would definitely use it again in the future and recommend to …
Chose JangoMail
I inherited JangoMail. I would never have chosen it as a marketing tool. It is so primitive when you compare it to any of the other marketing email platforms. You need to be able to easily create good looking emails and send to various lists created within the platform.
Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Return Path is the most user-friendly and feature rich platform based on the alternatives that we have evaluated or used in the past.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Litmus does a great job of checking for specific things related to design or spam filtering, but the overall comprehensive approach that Everest (Return Path + 250ok) has by implementing seed listing, list validation, and pixel engagement offers a much stronger solution for …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
I don't know of anything that has a patch on what ReturnPath—specifcially certification—offers elsewhere.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
As a long-term Return Path client, we haven't ever used any competitor products as we always felt that what we were using was best-available. So when 250ok and Return Path were combined, the best of both is visible within the new Everest umbrella product, Validity Everest …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
I looked into some other competitors before 250ok was brought out by Validity, but 250ok seemed like the best fit for the price and features included.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
We have used both and they're both excellent systems. 250ok has the edge with reporting and function but Return Path has a bit more data when it comes to Sender Score data. Either is a really good system and I'd recommend either for those looking for a toolset to help resolve …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
ReturnPath is best in the industry for managing email deliverability. There are other adequate competitive options, but ReturnPath can offer a custom solution for your brands.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Return Path came with our Salesforce Marketing Cloud implementation. We have not seriously looked at additional tools to complement or replace what we're getting through Return Path.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
We have no experience with competitors in the 4 1/2 years I've been with the organization.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Like I said before, Return Path is really the budget bundle. You get a lot of service for how much you pay. Since I am currently at an early stage startup, we could not afford Litmus, so having Return Path is crucial. The partnership with SalesForce also allowed us to get it at …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
It’s cheaper than its competitors and it has dmarc tracking.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
After using Litmus for a few years, we enjoyed their feature set but were not pleased with price and feature changes. Email on Acid was a good choice for testing your email templates but didn't have enough features for email deliverability monitoring.

Between Return Path and …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
250ok provides much greater insight into email deliverability, compared to email marketing platforms. Typically, email marketing platforms only provide you the following: open rate, clickthrough rate, spam complaints, and bounces. 250ok actually shows you where you're landing …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Return Path and 250ok are meant to do same things but in slightly different ways. Both use seed lists but RP uses panel data while 250ok uses engagement data. RP offers certification and is more expensive while 250ok is more affordable.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Return Path was the first solution that we looked into based on the native integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud. That was the biggest selling point for us. We didn't do a lot of research on other products but 250ok was one we did look at but ultimately liked Return Path …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
Goodmail is no longer available. eDataSource - competitive research of other competitors emails to analyze in one platform - comparable - more money.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
We use Exact Target every day as well - While we use these 2 for different functions - both are great to have and essential to our team.
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
When reviewing competitors to do the audit and to give us insight into our deliverability, Return Path seemed to have a more strategic sense of the issue and they were able to dive deep to get to the root cause, whereas some of the competitors where diagnosing on the phone …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
I used to host and manage email internally. I moved this into the cloud with an ExactTarget email marketing hub to manage all of the email being sent. The plus for Return Path is that the white listing features offered are not offered by other vendors or not to the same degree …
Chose Everest (Return Path + 250ok)
We looked at 250ok and Pivotal Veracity. Each has their own perks. Return Path has the best inbox monitoring by far but is the most expensive and that isn't even close. 250ok has the best blacklist monitoring capabilities and was the best priced but the inbox monitoring wasn't …

Likelihood to Recommend
JangoMail is only appropriate if you are looking for a cheap emailer. It should not be used as a marketing automation tool, as it is only an email platform. You should look for a marketing email platform that allows you to create better looking emails and manage your contacts. There are way better tools out there.

Every new or established brand should be using Everest. It doesn't matter what you're trying to say in your emails—if they're not reaching the inbox, no one is listening or reading. Everest gives you the insight you need to understand your inbox placement, reputation and so much more.

Pros
  • The platform is inexpensive.
  • Their support people are very nice.
Read full review
  • Inbox placement data using seed list: It tells you about your inbox placements, spam, missing, and complaints. Very useful data that tells you that you are on the road!
  • Sender score for all I.Ps: Tells you quickly about your I.P score, helps you work fast as you know everything is fine, saves a lot of time.
  • Online support: Support from specialist, have an expert to guide in tough times to suggest options or to support your action strategy.

Cons
  • So far I haven't had any troubles, or problems with JangoMail. I'd love to just paste a WORD doc into the HTML window, but I am not going to risk having the links broken. So I preformat my copy with the long links and then insert them in the HTML window and make them look pretty.
  • JangoMail's "add additional fields" in the into the body of the email is not very transparent, but when you add additional features and that depth of functionally then there is going to be a higher learning curve. I have not explored all of their tutorials.....and they have a great blog to explore also.
  • This is not a big thing but maybe a clock could be installed to show that the email is being sent and that there is x amount of time until the "report" is ready to view. There is a no man's land time that as a user you are not sure if the mail got delivered or is being delivered.

  • A good tutorial on how to leverage it would be helpful. Navigating is easy, but there's a lot of information and it takes a while to understand what everything means.
  • The reporting feature is intimidating, creating anew one isn't as user-friendly as the rest of the interface.
  • I understand what seeds are, but for new users, a very basic tutorial on what they are and why they are used would be helpful. Right now you have to have a baseline understanding of them before using it.

It satisfied the basic purpose for which my company bought the license. No complaints there.

Return Path helps us stay ahead of the curve and are a partner in helping us optimize our email program. They also keep us up-to-date on email laws and the changing ecosystem so that we are prepared and ready for changes, whether they're behavioral, legal or technology-driven. I definitely consider Return Path a necessary ingredient to sustaining a healthy email program.

I find it fairly easy to use, though the interface is a bit clunky and I may be missing some revolutionary use because it's lost in the clutter.

Absolutely fantastic support. It runs circles around the competition. They regularly reach out and chat, even if it's just to see if there's any issues we need to discuss. They clearly want the business and don't forget you once you sign the contract which is an issue with other similar services.

I joined my company after the implementation was nearly complete. We used the Return Path tool as we slowly increased our send volume in Marketing Cloud to monitor IP reputation and inbox placement.

We used to use outlook to send out emails to our subscribers, which is not very efficient. With JangoMail, we were able to send emails more efficiently and quickly, which save us a lot of times. It is also more professional than sending through outlook. However, JangoMail is lacking in its capabilities though, I would like to see more features added in the future.

Return on Investment
  • Sending mass mails so consumers can get an update on our newly released products
  • Quite inexpensive so we don't have to break bank for this
  • Lack of functionalities and features is a downside which caused more manual works
Read full review
  • Return Path has helped me enable better email delivery for our global partners e.g. some of our applications that send email to consumers in Australia or Europe.
  • Some of the functions that we utilized with Return Path were proving to be costly based on what the business needs were for us. That is why we cut back on some of the services we utilized.
