Growing brands trust
Ongage to achieve  their email marketing goals

Is choosing an all-in-one tool the best you can do for your email campaigns?

Iterable is a cross-channel marketing automation platform.
For businesses that are only looking for an email marketing tool, it means:
  • Longer training times
  • Putting deliverability at risk
  • Implementing new campaigns takes longer

Marketers say it’s hard to use Iterable on their own

“You will need a dev/engineering/ data team to support you. Iterable is not an ESP a marketer can handle on their own.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“Initial setup is hard. Technology and engineering teams need to work to set up internal events and triggers.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“Iterable is not the most user friendly or data flexible. Having developers on your team is highly recommended.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“I don’t have a coding background, so it is a lot of trial and error to better understand how to get things to work correctly.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“A lot of dev support is required for proper implementation.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“I dislike how techy it can get. As a marketer without coding experience, it can get overwhelming at times.”

Verified Iterable review on G2

“Way too complicated. […] If you are light on resources and looking for simplicity, it’s not for you.”-

Verified Iterable review on G2

“It also requires a fairly strong technical team to fully utilize its features.”
