It has a well-optimized user panel with robust segmentation tools to create personalized emails for each type of profile. The automation tools are very helpful since I only have to configure the texts and the sequence order.

“System Robustness and Integration Challenges Affect Workflow and Reporting Efficiency”

3.0
Jun 18, 2025
The robustness of the system in reality does not match the robustness portrayed in the evaluation and selection phase. Pieces that should integrate easily (like Oktopost) do not. As issues with AI and the impact they've had on metrics like open rates pop up, acknowledgement and resolution of issues is slow. Doesn't seem like equipped from product development standpoint to keep pace.

The ability to bring everything into one dashboard for high-level reporting for my Director of Integrated Marketing to provide me and for me to provide to the C-Suite and Advisory Board (different types of reporting) is cumbersome and requires too much manual work to get the right information at the right time quickly.
