Super clean interface, tons of ready-to-use templates, and the automation flows are a lifesaver...looks professional when it lands in the inbox.

Poor UI, very very slow at times, difficult to use, creating journeys is horrible, customer support is indifferent.

The analytics are great, allowing you to track open rates, clicks, even demographic data with ease...very easy to set up a test campaign.
