Pros

“Customer.io gives us complete control over messaging, email, SMS, push, in‑app, with smart workflows and segmentation based on real behavior.”
KS

Katie S.

Operations Manager

“We use it mainly to send newsletters, and for the automation system, sending targeted emails to our prospects.”
FM

François M.

Marketing Manager

“We have different dedicated areas on customer.io to manage the different languages.”
FM

François M.

Marketing Manager

Pros

“It enables us to optimize customer journeys, run reliable A/B tests, and closely track engagement and revenue impact. While there are occasional challenges with usability and the overhead of maintaining clean templates, the platform’s flexibility and performance outweigh these downsides.”
KL

Katelyn L.

CRM Lead

“The combination of real‑time / event‑driven capabilities + strong segmentation + cross‑channel messaging — when set up well, you can treat customers very contextually: responding to actions, in the right channel, with relevant content.”
CN

Courtney N.

Customer Service Representative

“I like Braze´s great potential to integrate multiple data sources to leverage the power of our data streams and data models, which allows to convert them into meaninful smart marketing campaigns, to deliver the right message/nbo/nba at the right time or event, and with a meaninful feedback cycle to craft better customers journeys across all our business units.”
CS

Carlo S.

Head of Digital Transformation

Cons

“The pricing model didn't make sense for our growing company, as you pay for all the contacts in your account, regardless of if they're active or not.”
NM

Noga M.

VP, Marketing

“It can be difficult to search for specific emails as the UI is not the most intuitive, especially for new users.”
PP

Paul P.

Head of Engineering

“We basically manage all our customer data in C.io and not being able to having KPIs and analytics related with customer actions and events is a little bit frustrating.”
AI

Ali I.

Co-founder, head of product

Cons

“The current integration with our own digital ID is still subpar, this makes it difficult to track which customer profile braze is using on our campaigns, as one customer can have multiple profiles, the support from braze engineers on this regard could be better.”
CS

Carlo S.

Head of Digital Transformation

“Large data ingestion of our flat audience files can be slow at times and create a bottleneck and wait times.”
AT

Alex T.

Senior Analyst, Email and Mobile Marketing

“For example, after launching a canvas, it is hard to update a few things: conversion events, action paths, experiment paths, etc.”
