Email – deliverability

Spam score and filter. Higher sender scores and dedicated IP addresses for larger senders.

Email – analytics 

Primarily tables and graphs, which provide all information needed but are not very detailed or interactive.  

Very visual with graphs, tables and charts plus a heat map showing clicks. Drills intro great detail and simple to glance at.  

Campaign Builder

Very intuitive, drag and drop automation, visual results via creating your own charts and a brilliant planning calendar.

No campaigns (just within CRM).  

Automation

Fantastic campaign/marketing automation, simple to use and easy to run. Lacks automation for nurture marketing.   

The nurture campaign automation is brilliant, however in reverse to MDM, it lacks campaign automation.

Marketing Management  

Brilliant campaign calendar for time management and visibility, plus records for managing marketing departments.  Built for larger businesses

Less a management tool and more an activity tool – allows activities to be created and analysed, but less about planning and managing them.  

General UX

Improved yet can be difficult to know what to click.  

Simple and easy to use UX.

Integration  

Connectivity options however you do not get maximum visibility into marketing activity in CRM.

Integrated within CRM with a full overview of marketing activity within each record.  

Form building

Not currently available  

Simple to use and forms can be put onto websites as custom links or embedded as links, frames and widgets.  

Support

Written how – to guides all online, video collection and online resources.   

Large online support community, dedicated training videos and how to guides.
