Pros

“It can be super granular, you can connect it to Facebook for creating custom audiences, it tracks everything from customer purchase frequency to when they are active on site, etc.”

Cody A.

President

“As a Klaviyo certified professional, I don't just see it as an email tool, but as a sophisticated engine for driving ROI. Whether it was setting up advanced influence-driven campaigns or optimizing high-volume e-commerce retail flows, the platform’s ability to handle intricate segmentation and real-time triggers has allowed me to deliver measurable growth for diverse international clients”

Marc G.

Digital and Marketing senior specialist

“The customization choices are amazing that enable us to design graphically appealing emails that present our hotel facilities beautifully without hiring a coder.”

Patricia G.

Customer Service Lead

Pros

“The ability to have all customer records including messages and call records quickly accessible allows for better insight into the entire job lifecycle.”

Larry K.

IT Manager

“Total Comfort is overall very pleased with Podium and the abilty to have our customers text us directly through our website.”

Erika B.

Sales Administrative Assistant

“Including if capturing the phone number of who is calling so if there is a disconnection we can call back.”

Jessica L.

Dispatcher, Project manager, Purchasing manager

Cons

“The biggest con is that advanced features can be complex to navigate. But also the cost, as pricing plans can be expensive, especially for small businesses or anyone with limited email marketing budgets. And an important one for certian users is that while Klaviyo offers SMS marketing, its much more limited compared to dedicated SMS platforms.”

Ricki O.

Owner

“It was an expensive product and we did not end up having enough sales to continue to use Klaviyo (more on us than the product for performing)”

Shane O.

Operations

“The main downside is the pricing model based on total profiles, even if you’re not actively emailing those contacts.”

Kevin K.

Marketing Manager

Cons

“Email responses took weeks, and phone calls went unanswered entirely. When we requested to cancel our account, that request was ignored, and Podium continued charging us for six additional months after we tried to cancel.”

Jim O.

CEO

“We ran into significant system downtime on multiple occasions, and each time, we couldn't get anyone from support to help us troubleshoot or resolve the issue in a reasonable timeframe.”

Jim O.

CEO

“They refused to cancel our plan citing 4 year old contract for auto renewal signed by an employee no longer with the company and absolutely refused to do the right thing and terminate the contract.”

Justin T.

COO
