CRITICAL

“Good to have automation options but takes time to revise based on own needs.”

3.0
Apr 2, 2024
It's flexible that we can edit the email templates by blocks. But it is not very user friendly to use so, as changing the block templates requires knowledge on HTML. For example, we are creating a flow on Personalization Automation, but found it difficult to build the templates, and the support team was barely able to support us in revising the HTML coding. Even they provided feedback on our queries but took time to receive the feedback.

SAP Engagement Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Easy to use, efficient, programs that run on its own, knowledge and know-how gathered from a huge amount of companies and countries, data driven marketing tools that reach out to the clients with the proper message at the right time, easy and quick support, great account manager who is dedicated and engaged in making sure the tools are being used in the best possible way, lots of interesting seminars/reports/educations (that I never take the time to listen into, but I will, someday...)

Like

Flexible design on email templates. Client success manager in Hong Kong is willing to support on biweekly meeting to follow up with us. Support with marketing automation. Support with A/B testing.

Like

Ability to create a Unified customer view. customer segmentation and personalisation.

Dislike

Previous account managers have had too little knowledge about the practical use of the tool, the business reviews we had were mostly about overall strategies and benefits of using specific programs. The current account manager we have is very much hands on and is very familiar with using the system and can practically help us set up new programs or review existing programs. The danger with Emarsys is that you get comfortable with your automation programs/tactics and that you dont work actively with them. You need someone (a person) to push you and to review your work from time to time. The price is high compared to competitive solutions on the market. The development of easy to use, good and data driven CRM systems is going so fast and there are very good options available today, for a lot less money. The amount of options you can use with Emarsys is huge, maybe sometimes too much? I feel like I have bought a Porsche car that I am using only in gear 3. Maybe it would be a good idea to split some of the functions and make it possible to buy less and to grow into more functions as you develop as a company? I believe that would make you competitive in the market, making it easier to enter as a client for a lower cost and then grow with Emarsys. For us as a client it would be amazing to be able to pick some functions as a starting package.

Dislike

Not timely support by the support team. Limited to HTML coding to revise the blocks. The recommendation result does not seem to be related to the customer's behavior.

Dislike

Mapping with external data sources can be challenging documentation can be better, but the product is intuitive. Out-of-box capabilities strong, slightly weak on enabling customisation.

    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.
