    Pros
    We really enjoyed the ease of setting up campaigns after we learned how to. It's been a very useful tool in expanding our reach.
    I like the recommended templates that come in Dotmailer. We are excited to implement triggered campaigns.
    The support team is great and responsive. A good product for a smaller org just getting started with building out their marketing technology stack.
    Cons
    The platform does not do a good job notifying you if your emails are failing or if data is failing to be collected from orders or customers. Can go months without knowing if something is not working.
    Problem re-subscribing customers who unsubscribed in the past due to strict spam control.
    Seems difficult to set up and manage audiences and segments. How they are linked to automated programs is confusing.

    A MUST BUY SOFTWARE!

    Reviewed 7 years ago

    The landing page builder makes it really easy to build nicely designed landing pages that helps our lead generation campaigns. We are utilizing DotMailer to market to the emails we gather at events which we were unable to reach before.

    Pros

    The interface design is clean and organized making it easy to find what you're looking for. Dotmailer s extremely flexible, it allows creating complex layouts on emails without sacrificing client cross-compatibility too much. The best feature offered by Dotmailer is Email Automation Programs. My organization was able to set up a Welcome email series for different people. The easy editor makes creating emails fun. Great customer service from support. the cost is extremely fair and the account managers are really great.

    Cons

    Would like to be able to choose a group to send to while at the same time choosing another group to not send to so that any overlapping emails would not get the email. Other than this, NONE. A MUST BUY!

    Good email marketing platform for a reasonable price

    Reviewed 6 years ago

    Dotmailer helped us send much more effective marketing campaign emails. Audience segmentation is easier than before. We're now sending personalized triggered campaigns to customers. Our transactional emails are now templated and much easier to update. Emails view better on mobile devices. Company was overall pleasant to work with through onboarding process.

    Pros

    Full-featured email platform at a cost lower than most competitors. UI is straightforward and functional, relatively fast. I don't have much trouble finding what I'm looking for. Onboarding, knowledge base, and technical support meant I learned the platform pretty quickly. Technical support has always replied quickly and is usually helpful. Program builder for triggered emails is easy to use, and powerful. Segmentation tool works well. Able to template and send all our transactional emails at no additional cost.

    Cons

    Reporting could be improved. We can't figure out how to link to our Google Analytics account. Easyeditor for emails is OK. Would prefer something more robust with more even more features. Sometimes pages load slow through the UI.

    Dotmailer Review 2018

    Reviewed 6 years ago
    Pros

    -Ease of use -Mostly works well with related platforms -Clearly displays information

    Cons

    -Email builder is template-focused and not efficient or as user friendly if your creatives are designed externally -Certain default options (automatically applying padding to every image block inserted into an email, for example) make setting up emails tedious and more time consuming and can't be turned off. -Asset gallery in the email builder has poor UX -- there are visual glitches and creating and organizing folders / organizing assets is not intuitively designed. You are also unable to see the full name of each asset.--Project managers have been generally unhelpful in rectifying issues regarding the email builder.

    Plays well with Magento 2 and is relatively inexpensive but lacks bells & whistles other ESPs have

    Reviewed 6 years ago

    for basic blast campaigns it works fine and integrates pretty easily with Magento.

    Pros

    Integrates well with Magento 2, relatively straightforward workflow tool and WYSIWIG email editing. Creating custom segments is fairly straightforward too.

    Cons

    Needs better personalization options. Lacks machine learning for customer segments & LTV tools which other ESPs like Listrak and Emarsys have. Very poor implementation of time-of-day optimization feature -- you still can't schedule an optimized send in advance which makes the feature essentially useless in practice.

    Good software spoilt by arrogant company attitude

    Reviewed 6 years ago

    Dotmailer used to be great software, leading the way with WYSIWYG editors and simple automation and segmentation tools. Over the past 2-3 years, others have caught up and overtaken Dotmailer. Their response is to focus on large companies with big budgets, as a result of which they have priced themselves out of the market for smaller businesses. When dealing with anyone except tech support, the attitude is often extremely arrogant and unhelpful. There's other software available that does the same thing, with better support.

    Pros

    Easy to use, intuitive interface Great features - although many of these are very expensive add-ons Automation Superb technical support

    Cons

    Unhelpful and incompetent client managers Very expensive compared to similar products Lack of interest in SMEs Unwillingness to write connectors to other software packages
