Selligent MC

Avantages

It is a very powerful tool with countless features ( of course it requires thorough implementation to be able to use it to the full extent).

Implementation and configuration require some expertise, but once the system is set up properly, usability is quite good:

- Setting up email & omni channel journeys is fairly easy using the journey map: components can easily be added by drag and drop and modified afterwards.
- A/B tests can easily be set up.
- Setting up and targeting user segments is also quite straight forward.
- We set up & now use the SMS interface which also works without any issues.

- We're quite happy with our Account/partner management they are really up to speed, are very responsive and committed to their clients success.

Inconvénients

We feel that the reporting feature requires a lot of clicks and is not really clear & easy to read at one glance.

We also see some room for improvement in the field of customer support regarding speed/responsiveness and thoroughness.
