Dotdigital vs Wiser

"Good platform but some niggles around pricing and set-up" What do you like best about Dotdigital? The platform itself is solid and well featured, with good deliverability, personalisation and scheduling options, management of contacts, segmentation, reporting, A/B testing and automation, SMS and web chat integration. Emails based on the paid-for template format well across all devices and clients with excellent consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Dotdigital? Pricing is a niggle, as the number of live contacts at a basic paid account level is not as generous as most competitors. Testing on a range of clients and devices is chargeable for each send and the monthly fees are also steep compared to the competition. Additional functionality such as Web Insights is available in most plans, but you have to set it up yourself, it is not included as part of the on-boarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Dotdigital solving and how is that benefiting you? Overall the dotdigital platform is a reliable tool for email and SMS marketing. I have used it on e-commerce and lead generation sites and it performs well on both.

"Stand out Support Team" What do you like best about Dotdigital? I was completely blown away with the level of customer service through the chat function on the website. Great that it is actually a real person that you speak to! I came to DotDigtial from another platform so I had to hit the ground running with my learning - they were helpful every step of the way often going above and beyond to help. Hannah, our Customer Success Manager has been awesome too - coming over to our location to fully understand the business and give her input on what she thought were the best steps going forward. Hannah has been such a support and honestly (as cheesy as it sounds) I don't think I would have got so far, so quickly without her! I love all the Webinsight info that we have been able to link to our account so that we can fully understand and target our customer base. The analytics side of things is great and tells me everything I need. I like that DD is an all-round platform and allows me to add and take away additional services, for instance, chat and text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Dotdigital? There is nothing I dislike - but there are areas I feel could be improved. I would love the sharing on social to be a bit more updated and more user-friendly. I feel it is out of date and doesn't perform as well as it could. A/B testing could be slightly improved too to give more options when choosing the finer details of a send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Dotdigital solving and how is that benefiting you? The support team have helped me some much in putting together a unique preference centre for our customers. I feel they went above and beyond in supporting me throughout the creation of this.

"DotDigitial enables businesses to redefine their customer management" What do you like best about Dotdigital? The integration with DotDigital and Dynamics allows us to create brilliant data-led campaigns and manage our communities better than ever before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Dotdigital? The data and analysis is severely lacking. For example, we use DD throughout the entire email campaign and registration process for our events through forms. Despite this, there is no source information, completion funnels or additional analysis offered. No customer journey analysis. The data is there! Why can't teams access it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Dotdigital solving and how is that benefiting you? Allowing our CRM to power our marketing. Through the integrations we have, our CRM is no longer a database the team have to log into, it is now where the team live. Without DotDigital, we wouldn't be able to have this mindset.

We used to have five people working full-time gathering and inputting data, at a rate of about 200 SKUs a day, but with Wiser, we’ve been able to gather content on roughly 20,000 SKUs in three weeks while cutting our staff down to one person.

It’s really a remarkable process and Wiser did a great job of showing us how to write the recipes (descriptions of the content desired) so we would collect exactly the information we needed. They scaled the project into manageable milestones, and we were fully using the product after training and guidance.

- Kirsten Dehaai Director of eCommerce Marketing HP Products

A lot of software packages are good at collecting data but not at consolidating it. The pain point for us was that we needed expertise in both the technology as well as how to make the most of the data. The Wiser team and the Wiser technology addressed both.
