What I appreciate most is definitely the unified view of the customer, having all the information and interactions in one place makes work much smoother and helps ensure nothing gets lost along the way. Another positive aspect is comprehensiveness for sales, marketing, and customer service. Not having to constantly switch between different systems really makes a difference in day-to-day management. Finally, I find platform's flexibility very useful. Once it's properly configured, it adapts to the company's specific needs and allows you to automate various processes and saving time.
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
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.
What I'm least convinved by is the interface because it's not always intuitive, and at first it takes a while to get your bearings and figure out where everything is. Another issue is the overall complexity of the system. It's very comprehensive, but precisely because of that, some operations aren't as quick as you'd expect, especially for those who don't use it every day. Finally, implementation and configuration can take quite a long time. Without the right support, getting started and really making the most of it requires time and resources.
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
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.
