Good for digital marketing purposes, such as creating and managing email campaigns
Mailchimp could be more user-friendly for setting up WordPress websites. Some of the complex settings can be time-consuming to configure. So, setting up Mailchimp for WordPress websites can be time-consuming for an average user but not necessarily difficult. It's time-consuming, especially when adding custom code to email campaigns. It requires some experience and knowledge to do it effectively.

​The editor itself needs improvements, but we can communicate in a more engaging way.
Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved. So I can say their customer service is top level.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With RSS campaigns, nobody has to login every morning to send the daily news email to 19K readers."
"I can have a really good looking newsletter with minimum effort."
"The ease of use and price point enables us to scale our email initiatives efficiently as we grow."
"MailChimp has allowed us to easily integrate it with our CRM which has reduced the amount of effort needed to setup up and track any marketing newsletter."
"We have been happily using MailChimp for all our email marketing needs."
"MailChimp's most important functionality is its automation feature."
"This is the cheapest, simplest and easiest white-listed provider to use."
"MailChimp enables us to manage how the content crosses over and monitors each series or campaign while providing in-depth analytics for each vertical market."
"We were able to send, to our potential clients, a mail proposal and follow who is clicking and reading what in order to prepare additional customized and adjusted offers according to their interest."
"Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved."
 

Cons

"Customer service: Not timely, but somewhat effective when on paid plans."
"MailChimp should have a better offering for ready made modern templates but this is usually supplied by the community."
"Automated workflows do not have control for dynamic behavioral targeting in any way."
"The video embedding doesn’t render until you send a campaign, which makes it hard to see the layout."
"Pretty much everything, and the RSS campaign is the only reason we stick with MailChimp."
"Sadly now Mailchimp has started charging for the use of the auto-responder (automation) emails, so it's lost it's edge for the free services."
"Customer Service: I really haven’t had to use customer service much but it is only by email which is unfortunate."
"List management could be more scalable."
"We tried using IT as a survey tool, but at that time the feature was new and did not offer as much functionality as for example Google spreadsheets."
"The editor itself, as it is sometimes a bit complicated to find the features you need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MailChimp is affordable."
"I primarily use the free version, but sometimes, for specific client needs, we may have to purchase different versions or packages."
