Considered Both Products
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 …
ReachMail
Chose ReachMail
In my opinion, ReachMail is a good competitor to MailChimp, probably has more features though and analytics to help organize information. There are also a lot more third party integrations that have helped us compared to other apps that we've tried before, but ReachMail has …
Chose ReachMail
In the past I researched Constant Contact and not only were they more expensive but gave little support for setting up your email.
Chose ReachMail
In the past I've used both Salesforce and QuotaFactory (now defunct) to send mass emails and both are far superior in presentation, if not functionality. Reachmail is probably fine when you have graphical content but for text emails it just doesn't stack up. I'll look into …
Chose ReachMail
Constant Contact: Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but …
Chose ReachMail
We use both reachmail and exact target for email deployment. Reachmail is easier to use for uploading lists and sending emails but exact target is better for reporting.
Chose ReachMail
Exact Target is preferable for batch jobs, including custom reporting, as well as list organization and folder trees, but I enjoy the ReachMail experience better overall. ReachMail generally has a faster interface; it's easier to implement personalization, and ReachMail can use …
Chose ReachMail
I didn't select Reachmail, it was already in place when I was hired. However, in all honesty, I think Reachmail is comparable to MailChimp.
Chose ReachMail
A lot of the content syndication vendors can produce the same leads and tactics, so not much to say on how they are different. I do keep going back to ReachMail though because I have built a relationship with my CSM, so that helps establish trust and partnership.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

I think it is well suited for running a series of campaigns that have variations in subject lines and content. The interface is easy to utilize when making copies and variations of previously built email blasts, as well as organizing them into proper folders and determining metrics of each campaign. The reporting tool delivers very useful metrics, but the lack of options for pulling reports hurts the overall experience. It would be great if ReachMail were to give the user more options in determining reporting, such as a range of dates, a range of campaigns, all campaigns sent that contain "X and Y" assets, and so forth, all while giving the user the ability to download reports individually, or by group

  • I have a $10 account, but customer support treat me like a princess. They even added a feature to one page to remedy a problem I was having with that page. They care about their customers.
  • ReachMail Features (or at least, these are the ones I know they have): WYSIWYG Email Editor, Template Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Dynamic Content, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Mailing List Management, Drip Campaigns, Auto-Responders, Image Library, A/B Testing, Customer Surveys, CAN SPAM Compliance, Reporting/Analytics.
  • These folks know what they’re doing. I can’t speak highly enough about ReachMail.

Cons
  • 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.

  • I like the tutorials they have helped figure most of my issues out
  • The formatting text gave me lots of issues before I saw the tutorial it was a little complicated
  • Not to many bad things to say really, even customer service is fast, maybe it could be faster?

Constant Contact:
Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but Reachmail has larger contact base, bigger graphic and doc storage capacity than did the paid Constant Contact account.
MailChimp:
MailChimp's drag and drop template designer is easier to use than Reachmail's formatting tools. Reachmail was not selected by this client in lieu of MailChimp.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Increased Facebook audience as a result of Reachmail campaigns, a definite positive.
  • No negative impacts on business objectives.
