Considered Both Products
Mailigen
Chose Mailigen
Mailigen falls short to Listrak due to Listrak's far superior contact, conversion, and message analytics. Some features are unavailable or not easily integrated with the Mailigen platform compared to its competition, but features such as model acquisition & shopping cart …
Chose Mailigen
MailChimp, AWeber - which are all good products but we believe that MailiGen has better support and is more cost effective.
Chose Mailigen
  1. Although both Mailchimp and Mad Mimi are easy to use, they are both limited in the customization options for advanced users.
  2. Mailigen integrates with vast majority of CMS's used in my country
  3. I can directly in real-time get answer to my questions - haven't filed a support ticket …
Chose Mailigen
Clear product use conditions, fast reaction, active service support
Chose Mailigen
In comparison Mailigen has better customer support and more advanced features.
Chose Mailigen
Mailigen developed human relations, helped us develop our tactics, rather than just providing the technical solution
Mailjet
Chose Mailjet
Much cheaper than Marketo and Pardot. And better security ratings than Campaign Monitor. I can't evaluate the integration with Salesforce; we use list management in Mailjet directly. I have been working with Marketo, Pardot, and Mailjet in the past. Mailjet's key difference is …
Chose Mailjet
To date we haven't used MailGun for all that long so I cannot comment just yet
Chose Mailjet
At first I thought Mailjet is cheap in price. But finally, the lacking of support makes it worth not a penny.
Chose Mailjet
The only real incentive to use Mailjet over Mailchimp is the price. They offer a better priced solution. A large email list can be very expensive but with Mailjet it was affordable. Only not worth the customer service lack that comes along with it.
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet was much easier to set up, and much more affordable for us than other solutions we evaluated, such as SendGrid. SendGrid may be better suited for organizations with larger volumes or more technical staff, but for us, Mailjet was a superior solution at this time. We also …
Chose Mailjet
Mautic is a more sophisticated application than Mailjet, but it's also way harder to setup. It connects with existing contact forms, which Mailjet doesn't, but then again Mautic is way more expensive. Aweber stinks in my opinion. I found it difficult to use, expensive and …
Chose Mailjet
Mailjet is just pretty straightforward there is no more "rocket science" needed to create/design templates for general marketing campaigns or for automation campaigns. For general campaigns, it can be compared with Mailchimp or Active, and yes maybe in my particular opinion …
Chose Mailjet
The pricing is very competitive and the fact that the database filters are not very strict makes life easy for small and medium business owners to reach out to current clients as well as prospective clients for business purposes and lead following. Mailchimp had too many …
Chose Mailjet
I find Mailjet much more user-friendly than Mailchimp. It is simpler to enter new contacts that I have made into the system. Entering graphics and plugging in text with cut and paste from another application works much better and maintains a good format. Mailjet is just much …
Chose Mailjet
I have used Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and a few others. To be honest, I prefer the Mailchimp platform, BUT where Mailjet outdoes all of the competition is in the quantity of emails sent. They deliver where others don't, including with the ease of reviewing their "Reports". …
Chose Mailjet
Hubspot mail is very clunky. Definitely not focused on mail as a core competency. Just not as built up and not equipped to mail in these volumes. Mailchimp feels and works more like a tool for smaller brands. Maybe they have a different enterprise tour but it didn't feel bent …
Chose Mailjet
The free version offers more flexibility, and the interface is easier to navigate. Unlike competitors, Mailjet immediately offers an ability to add alternative text when adding an image to a campaign, which is required for our organization to meet ADA compliance. Great preview …
Chose Mailjet
Its email layout are very well designed for my products. They are very much relate-able. So I always prefer to use it for building customer relationship even after our sales process. My CRM team utilize this software effectively for proper communication with our clients. My …

I raised a ticket. It’s been four days and they won’t reply. So I raised another ticket asking why they are not replying. The issue was quite urgent. Then in a very short time, I saw the ticket was closed. So they have time to close my ticket, but they don’t have time or they don’t want to reply to a ticket. Very interesting.

Their attitude of doing nothing is the worst and the rudest I’ve ever seen in my years of working with several email service companies. And I see that they blame this on the pandemic. But many other good companies, they are not doing this. Your problem is your problem, don’t try to blame someone else.

So, please DO NOT buy it, consider others.

  • Mailjet is good at "links", it's really easy to link your content and photos to outside links.
  • Mailjet is good at getting emails out in a timely fashion.
  • Mailjet is really cost-effective compared to their competitors for what all you get.

Cons
  • One thing we would like is the ability to send test mails to any mail address during campaign development. Currently the system sends only to the designated mail addresses. So sending a sample to a customer to a marketing person is harder than necessary.

  • They don't have any mobile application of it. This is the major drawback of this software.
  • Their support facility takes longer time to resolve issues. They should have instant chat option also for quick solutions.
  • Post campaign reporting functionality could be more diversified. It seems basic only.

Usability
Although it is easy to use for basic users and people with no experience in e-mail marketing, but for more advanced users it still lacks functionality - really advanced filtering - on it's web interface. However everything is possible once you use API.

Alternatives Considered
Mailigen falls short to Listrak due to Listrak's far superior contact, conversion, and message analytics. Some features are unavailable or not easily integrated with the Mailigen platform compared to its competition, but features such as model acquisition & shopping cart abandonment are available. The ability to integrate such features into your website may be easier when using a competitors platform, but easy usability comes with a price. Extra perks such Coupon managers & etc. are useful features that allow you to generate Barcodes & QR codes, as well as track various data analytics when implementing this feature. Small items as such are what Mailigen lacks in comparison to its competitors, but their price point kicks the rest out of the water if you can live without some of the bells and whistles.

Return on Investment
  • Increased company's annual revenue for 2017
  • Mailigen has allowed our business to expand far and wide - demonstrating to customers that our pricing and services are far superior to any competitor in the industry.
Read full review
  • Changing from active campaign to Mailjet decreased our mail spend by more than 50% in savings.
  • Been able to send so many emails for different campaigns increases our retention with active users who became engaged users. In our case, it is important to be in constant communication with customers.
  • Mailjet needs to be complemented with other tools, such as Zapier, in order to create better implementations. It might cost you for additional software but it is still cheaper than solutions that charge you by the number of users.
