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 solution should improve its reporting feature. There should be more transparency around API development. At the moment, the clients are pushing custom API into the mail, so we don't have too much visibility regarding what endpoints they're pushing the data into.
Push notifications and SMS capabilities can be included in the next release. Also, a modern and updated template library would be great. The website builder can also be improved with more customization and hot reloading features. A standalone system for private servers would be ideal. Mobile apps can be improved to harness current hardware standards. The user dashboard can be made much more elegant. Some kind of gamification, reward, and loyalty programs for users would be awesome to have. Also, integration with more third-party systems would be a plus.

The solution could be easier to use. I'm still looking around. While it has many capabilities it could be more user-friendly. The limitations of the solution should also be better defined. I reached my maximum limit for Gmail use and now cannot work with my email.
* Shorter how-to videos * More formatting flexibility, such as the ability to wrap text around photos. * More explanation at the point of decision-making. I would have appreciated more how-to videos when getting started. There are some areas that could be made easier such as moving subscribers between list.
Some competitors also provide further details of the open rates and enable a more specific way of tracking users processes through to the end call-to-action or purchase. 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. There are cheaper platforms elsewhere that will be auto-responders if that's important to you and your business. UPDATE: As of May 2017, Automation is now free for everyone!! This platform is now almost perfect!!

I don't have any issues with the service. I am not a complex user of MailChimp. All my needs are covered.
