Considered Both Products
Mautic
Chose Mautic
Salesforce and Dynamics may be fine if you can afford them, but don't offer much more than what you get from Mautic, for free and with total control and longer term active development.

SugarCRM ended development and maintenance of their Community Edition around 2018. The …
Chose Mautic
Infusionsoft, at the time I tested it, had a crazy editor--very unintuitive and not very clean. Mautic (open source) makes it much easier to build up campaigns. Besides that, it didn't provide what we needed to justify the lack of possibility to self-host it and the requirement …
Chose Mautic
We had originally tested Mailchimp and Sendy, but they are best used as bulk email marketing tools. Where Mautic really shines is as a full-service contact resource center, so you can do full contact list management, as-complicated-as-you want drip campaigns, all still while …
Chose Mautic
I have used Acton Marketing Automation and Mautic is very comparable to it. Acton is very pricey for a small business and Mautic offers many of the same features. Acton does, however, have support that will setup your system for you. Mautic does not have that if you are setting …
Chose Mautic
Well, it's like the same tool, but with different features. Overall, it is a friendly tool, easy to use, reliable, and it protects private information. We love it as I said before, we recommend it. It's a great asset. Mautic has all you need for your marketing needs.
Chose Mautic
Mautic is the new kid on the block, bred from an open source product, we chose to purchase the hosted/supported version. I felt like it stacked up very well against Act-On and even Pardot. I like their data API push and pull with Salesforce - very quick, and the queue was …
Chose Mautic
Mautic's competitive advantage is cost. Other solutions can be prohibitively expensive, and some other marketing automation solutions I had used required costly up-front investment for onboarding. I chose Mautic because I had grown weary of the aggressive sales tactics and …
Sitecore Send
Chose Sitecore Send
I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing …
Chose Sitecore Send
Simple yet powerful email marketing tool designed to automate every aspect of email marketing so that email marketers can perform tasks faster and engage with visitors in an accurate and timely manner.
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend is known as more of an industry standard than BuzzStream (which is a more budget tool), and it shows. BuzzStream has clearly cut corners in areas of usability and general UI, where Moosend, on the other hand, seems to have done it right from the beginning. Moosend is so …
Chose Sitecore Send
Moosend was the most affordable and the easiest to use. Moosend seemed to have the best reviews as far as we read. We wanted to try something new and so far have had nothing but success; however, those other programs may be just as good. We went with Moosend based on reviews …
Chose Sitecore Send
The simple interface and lower cost. Simple automation in a couple of clicks easy to set up.
Chose Sitecore Send
We use both MailChimp and Moosend, and I prefer to use MailChimp for most campaigns. As compared to MailChimp, I think it is more difficult to manage lists on Moosend. It's also harder to preview past campaigns, review campaign performance, or manage saved templates for …
Chose Sitecore Send
Sitecore Send's CMS allows our businesse to create, manage, and deliver content across multiple channels, ensuring a consistent brand experience. Its digital marketing tools enable businesses to automate email marketing, personalize website content based on user behavior, and …

Likelihood to Recommend
Mautic is well suited for users who do not require a lot of maintenance on the technical areas and have only the general requirements of the email marketing sector. In case the users have more precise requirements and are more focussed on the quality and a proper quantitative analysis, Mautic would not be an ideal choice. In other words for small companies Mautic would be an idea choice where the budget is a constraint and the extent of use is low but in cases where budget is not really a constraint against the performance and quality, Mautic would not be an ideal choice.

Moosend has industry-leading features and budget friendly plans suitable for budget-minded businesses. It enables businesses to execute marketing campaigns successfully and has robust workflow automation. I recommend their Pro plan to any marketing professional out there because of how it helps to strategically handle all marketing needs by boosting the level of automation.

Pros
  • Mautic is very good at the tagging system.
  • Mautic is very good at tracking website visitors. Visitors are first marked as unknown, however, once you get a signup Mautic automatically updates their profile.

Cons
  • Reporting can be very misleading sometimes, but you just need to get the hang of it
  • When emailing, you need to know the exact time zone the server is set on, because it may not send the task when you think it would.
  • We think it may have more room to add more templates, the one the platform has turned boring over time— I think it would be an interesting update.

  • If you have more than 1000 subscribers you will be required to upgrade to the Pro plan.
  • Free plan users have limited customer support.

Pretty straight forward but it takes sometime to get used to. Not exactly like WordPress or other open source cms but it gets the job done

I have used Maropost for quite some time but I found Moosend a powerful application for marketing projects. We just make the project and invite our team; the remaining work is handled by this application. It never let us down in making strong plans for promotions and providing the communication among the customers and company. Nothing can beat this application in making work flow, and we admit its strategies to make the company marketing strong and in the pipeline are also in consideration to put forward for implementation.

  • Influencing purchase decisions along the customer journey

  • Moosend is quite affordable (500,000 emails for $500), so it's easy to see an ROI. It only takes a few recipients converting to make a campaign worth the spend.
