Companies trust Ongage to drive higher revenue with email

Campaign Monitor might work for basic email campaigns but…

If you want to grow your email list and nurture relationships with email, it can feel limiting to:
  • Create rules-based flows that send the right email to the right customer, at the right time.
  • Build dynamic templates to send personalized messages in response to a subscriber's behavior.
  • Move past vanity metrics and get data on user behavior, like clicks and conversions.

Users say Campaign Monitor is missing key features

“If you are looking for a simple email marketing solution, this is your jam. If you are looking for a robust marketing automation tool, look elsewhere.”

Verified review on G2

“You can’t build a dynamic template that includes conditional statements. For any big company that leverages a lot of automated emails, having the ability to include conditional statements is a very important tool.”

Verified review on G2

“Contact management is too simple, moreover on managing people who received or clicked past campaigns that forces you to create lists by hand.”

Verified review on G2

“It can be a bit too simple and difficult to customize to the way you want it.”

Verified review on G2

“The way that campaign stats are presented is not quite there as well. Would like some deeper dive ability to zoom in and out on a campaign.”

“Campaign Monitor is missing a lot of features other ESPs offer. Know what you need.”
