	Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill)
Considered Both Products	Intuit Verified User Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) We were already using Mailchimp email marketing product and then while exploring different solutions, we went ahead with Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) only considering our requirements which has mix of reliability and pricing. Few things that stand out with Mailchimp … Incentivized Helpful? Bharat Kumar Digital Marketing Executive in Marketing at PiLog (Information Technology & Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) Here the Mailchimp is user understandable whereas in the Zift it gets complicated to use so that is the drawback of this tool. Incentivized Helpful? Jared DeLong Onboarding and Services Manager in Customer Service at Kindful (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) I haven't personally used Sendgrid or Klaviyo before because we had been using Mandrill already. When I joined the company, however, I believe it's overall functionality paired with their price point was more competitive than other solutions out there at the time. With how … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) I used MailKitchen for some time but I was not satisfied with its results. The unsubscribe rate was very high in that tool, though I don't know the reason for that. So I changed it. I found Mandrill good for my business because its unsubscribe rate is almost negligible and the … Incentivized Helpful? Kewyn Medina Supervisor IT Operations in Information Technology at Laureate International Universities (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) Best technical market reviews and more options available. Mandrill is a cheaper option and easy to manage. It is an excellent option for small and medium business. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) What I like better about Mandrill than Mailgun is that Mandrill has integrated Template management. You can issue an email to be sent with a template and submit merge variables along with the email data. Doing this with Mailgun means you have to roll your own template … Incentivized Helpful? Kyle Reichelt Senior Project Manager in Information Technology at OnMetric (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) They're both fairly comparable, though MailChimp made you jump through a few more hoops to use the service, though these were put in place to maintain server integrity in order to reduce bounce rates. I haven't seen a difference, so this was really more of a pain point than … Incentivized Helpful? Josh Holloway Marketing Director in Marketing at Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) Amazon SES was a service we evaluated before eventually landing on Mandrill. SES is very affordable, but some of our less technically-inclined employees found it difficult to use. We also found the API to be lacking in meeting our needs. And as an existing paid MailChimp … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) So we actually work with clients across all of the platforms listed above, but Mandrill has a huge ease of use bonus in its favor, especially when working with clients who are setting up a Cart Recovery style marketing campaign for the first time or are looking for a bit of a … Incentivized Helpful? Jim Rubenstein Chief Technology Officer in Engineering at LoudDoor, LLC (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) Sendgrid offers a lot of the same features as Mandrill, but goes a lot further in helping you achieve maximum deliverability for your e-mails. They have a respectable free tier for sending as well as receiving emails, and their paid tiers are very reasonably priced. I don't have … Incentivized Helpful? Darren Douglas Lee Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Ubersmith (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Mailchimp Transactional Email (Mandrill) Being first a MailChimp customer, moving to using Mandrill as a transactional API based solution was an easy and obvious solution. At the time of evaluation Mandrill's API was far superior to SendGrid's API. Incentivized Helpful?
