Chose TargetX, from Liaison
Given that it's an older solution and addresses a lot more use cases, there's a lot more bulk and technical debt in the solution. This may make it overwhelming for first-time users and administrators. The email builder though is truly par excellence.
Chose TargetX, from Liaison
Both Slate and TargetX do a great job and have huge audiences in the higher ed world.
