Pros

“We wished to have more integration with our other platforms (social media channels, Canva, etc) and found it lacking compared to other platforms.”

Mary B.

Development Director

“We used VerticalResponse at our non profit for almost 10 years before deciding to switch to Constant Contact. ”

Mary B.

Development Director

“It was so easy to use and gave us great insight into who was engaging in our emails through the metrics.”

Mary B.

Development Director

Pros

“It makes managing my communication much simpler by keeping my emails organised, offering a strong search function, and integration easily with other google tools. ”

Kim M.

Financial Manager

“The integration with other Google services helps streamline our daily workflow, and the powerful search feature makes managing emails much easier. While there are a few organizational limitations, Gmail remains one of the best email platforms we've used for both business and personal communication.”

Jeffrey W.

Owner

“I manage both a personal and a professional inbox, and the tab system, Primary, Social, Promotions, genuinely helps me avoid drowning in messages. ”

Michael V.

Software Engineer

Cons

“Terrible send rates, hard to fo back and compare emails side by side; the html template often was imported”

Lindsey P.

Marketing Analytics

“I built a list using their tools, sign up form, landing page and email verification yet they continue to reject my campaigns because they keep asking me where the list came from. ”

Brian H.

Owner

“The software is fine but the company's policies keep shutting down my campaigns for no good reason and their customer support is almost non existent.”

Brian H.

Owner

Cons

“The Desktop Layout Can Feel Cluttered: The web interface packs a lot into one screen—chat sidebars, labels, categories, and calendar integrations. If you prefer a clean, minimalist workspace, it can feel overwhelming and noisy unless you spend time hiding all the extra panels.”

Christopher V.

Human Relations

“There are also limitations in terms of advanced email organization and customization compared to more specialized email platforms, and some users may find the interface a bit busy due to the number of integrated features.”
