“Exploring Emarsys: From Robust Automation to Steamy Limitations”

3.0
Jan 23, 2025
Emarsys performs as expected when it comes to delivering email campaigns, processing database contacts, and running automation programs. It has the added benefit of housing a relational database and connecting to our website and ecommerce platforms. However, its user interface is sometimes frustrating and the reporting capabilities are overall only fair.

SAP Engagement Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Emarsys' strength lies in its automation capabilities, customer journey building and robust segmentation driven by data. These features have allowed us to create efficient, always-on programs that reduce manual workload while maintaining consistent customer engagement.

Like

Automation Program - good interface Customer Success Manager - extremely helpful, invested, friendly, supportive Advanced Tactics - look incredible if we could get to the point where we could use them Relational Data - crucial to our business, allows for powerful personalization Support Team - although basic Support is limited, the Solution Architects we've worked with have been excellent

Like

The platform is very user friendly especially when it comes to automation. We are able to orchestrate campaigns across different channels such as email, sms, push app, whatsapp... Another strong point is the ability to upload and use relational data which enables us to create more precise and relevant targeting.

Dislike

There are very few major drawbacks, but one limitation is around the depth and flexibility of product purchase data. While the platform handles customer data and segmentation very well, there can be constraints when trying to understand email results. Product affinity is also an area where added insight could be more advanced ie when a contact buys x, they then go on to buy y, etc etc. Finally, a small dislike is based around the user experience and navigation. It would be great if, when going back to a previous screen, my search criteria was still visible rather than starting out again.

Dislike

Reporting - Weak across the board. No overall dashboard for campaign metrics. Impossible to aggregate some metrics, such as click tracking across an automated campaign. All data goes into Big Query but our BI team has found it extremely difficult to identify key metrics. Revenue attribution - No way to determine what products are purchased from which campaign Web Channel - Absolutely oversold to us; very basic; limited capabilities; almost impossible to track metrics User Interface - Impossible to organize lists/segments/programs Forms - extremely limited; unattractive out-of-the-box and impossible to re-format. Limited capability for progressive profiling. Segments - What is the purpose of the segments AND combined segments, it's ridiculous and cumbersome

Dislike

Well, we don't use much the reporting since to us it's a bit complicated to follow performances easily on our KPI. Also on IA, we are awaiting big changes/adaptability on Emarsys side to keep being a strong platform in the future.

    I’d say adopting Emarsys as our CRM platform has been a real game changer. It’s intelligent enough to handle segmentation and personalization seamlessly, with a whole suite of powerful features that help build an integrated customer view across all channels. This gives us a truly holistic understanding of our customers — and ultimately enables us to deliver even more value back to them.
