A great Email/Omnichannel Marketing platform, 360-degree view with a highly supportive team
What do you like best about the product?
Exponea is super easy to learn and set up.
UI - The login process is easy and setting up user profiles is very simple on the UI.
Email marketing features- Awesome A/B features, dynamic content features, prediction module, retrieving past edited history, creating complex scenarios. I also like the click map under evaluation which helps in understanding where the customer clicked the most, and how he/she has hovered the email.
Bulk emails - Support large volume emails.
Data Integration - Support all types of file imports and API connections.
Nurture Campaigns- You can lead score or segment your audience easily and tie them to a nurture campaign to give them exactly what they want to run through + can use predictions too for such cases.
Live support team - Very experienced and knowledgeable support team and always ready for help. They dig deeper inside a query, offer great tips and advice for further optimisation, and you can get any question answered really fast + guide you in a step by step process to accomplish any specific task.
Account Manager - Happy to assist help with our account. During implementation, their team worked closely with us to ensure that we were following best practices and we get the best out of the product
Life Cycle Mngt - For creating life cycle marketing features based on customer transactions, behaviour, user activity etc. Explicit RFM Dashboard.
Exponea Academy - Amazing and dedicated team of professionals who will ensure no student leaves without learning.
Collection data points- One can through a preference centre or other sources can create various customer attributes, that offers an enriching insight into who our audiences are.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) There could be more email templates for ready use. Good to include a countdown banner for emails too. Customizing certain elements with JavaScript or CSS can be confusing at times when one is not a pro.
2) Exponea is not good for surveys. You don't get automatic dashboards as in the case of Typeform or Survey Monkey.
3) Working with aggregates and running aggregates can be complex.
4) Web layers is complex. Designing is quite an easy part but deployment on the website requires knowledge of JS and technical expertise.
5) Since Exponea business consultants are highly involved with other clients too, their availability can take up some time, which can be time lost for an organisation. On the contrary, the live support is always available and quick in their response.
6) Advance course should also include knowledge of how to use predictions in real-life cases.
7) Recommendation should offer more meaningful reports and insights.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating email nurture and sending bulk emails, Data Hygiene, Funnel management, Collecting unique data points and having Exonea as a source of truth. We are now working to start sending out transactional emails from Exponea. We are still in the phase of exploiting Exponea to its maximum capacity. So far, the benefits I realized are that Exponea can have the Marketing Approach, Analytical Insights and its Strategic ways. Also, the Marketing Campaigns and Initiatives are very helpful in organizing these activities as well as to see a clear definite marketing effort in the end. Exponea is one centralised system for all marketing campaigns.
Flexible, easy to use platform
What do you like best about the product?
The learning curve is very well judged; basic features are easy to access but more technical options exist for more complexed campaign. It's generally reliable with the online support able to sort small issues rapidly. Over the year since we've been with Exponea they've rapidly expanded their consultancy capability, which is great to see.
Drag and drop editor is one of the best i've used, allowing you to run multiple conditions into a single campaign.
It's incredibly quick and able to process huge amounts of data very rapidly. It's also very flexible in terms of the data it can ingest, allowing us to integrate several different systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
A few options require assistance from support to complete (like adding new email domains or Customer IDs). Whilst they are generally pretty quick to respond, it would be better if it could be done in platform.
Cost reporting is not built into the platform quite as well as some competitors; particularly for SMS. That's not unusual for other platforms i've used, but it would be good if we had near realtime visibility on transmission costs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Biggest benefit from Exponea is pulling data from different sources within the business together. It's able to take data from different systems, with different data formats, and put it all together in a useable form.
A great user experience and lots of added value
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Exponea is definitely the user experience. The user interface is so simple and so easy to understand for all users. It's actually fun to set up campaigns and get marketing results.
When compared to tools we used in the past, Exponea is next-level stuff, especially in terms of new possibilities and its ease of use.
I was responsible for the integration of Exponea from the business side, so I worked with the Exponea team then and also later on when we were setting up campaigns (especially in the beginning). Their support team is very friendly and they're ready to help immediately, and most of the time we can resolve any issues on the same day they happen.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate a few more safeguards with respect to sending the wrong message to the wrong customer. Exponea always prompts you before launching a campaign, but some little things in our conditions can be overlooked due to the complexity of our campaigns.
I gave this feedback to the Exponea team, and they helped me set up a test project with a test group of recipients, where I can run my scenarios and see if they work correctly, which did help.
In general, Exponea is quite amazing, and they're doing a great job with the constant release of new features. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with everything that's new, but there's an extensive knowledge base that we often use and we find it to be helpful (and the search bar works, which is nice too).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've recently been working on the post-registration onboarding process, which includes a series of emails and push notifications. I also manage Exponea for our Retention team, and we've been focusing on customer reactivation campaigns and boosting engagement through marketing competitions.
Exponea lets us create complex automated campaigns with multiple touchpoints through various channels by segmenting the audience all in one scenario. In other words, we can create an entire communication story line in one project, and this adds a lot of value for us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check on how complex your integration might be. We'd definitely recommend having a dedicated project owner on your side for this. Check to see if the CDP has all the communication channels you use, so you don't need an additional tool to manage other channels. And pick a product which is constantly evolving and being developed, so that your feedback is actually taken into account. These reasons are why we picked Exponea.
A big improvement over previous tools...it just makes our work better
What do you like best about the product?
Exponea's Scenarios module is excellent. It's possibilities seem almost endless – there are only a few things we can't do, and usually the only limit is our imagination when building the scenario. And there are so many options for personalization.
And I have to mention their support team. They're very experienced, incredibly fast, and always willing to help. I've never had such a good experience with tech support.
Overall the platform is great. A really nice user experience, everything is intuitive, and it's all easy to use. We switched our communication from another tool, and afterwards everything became so much better for us.

What do you dislike about the product?
A few improvements to web analytics would be great, and I've already shared my feedback with our Customer Success Manager. I'm missing some filters and some cleaning of the data in the input.
Also, our mobile app is very important for our brand, so weblayers in the mobile app would be very helpful – I believe they're working on some kind of solution for that already.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exponea helps us with abandoned registration scenarios, increasing GMV, transactional emails...basically for acquisition and retention of customers. We're a financial app with a long registration process, so we were losing lots of customers during that process. With our previous tool we had a basic abandoned registration process, but that wasn't very helpful. With Exponea, we increased our conversion rate by 50%, which is really an amazing result for us.
Also, in the past we had to set up scenarios 24 hours in advance, whereas now with Exponea we can trigger all our communication in real-time, which makes a huge difference for us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend having a dedicated project manager during the integration process and a dedicated marketing person for working with Exponea's scenarios. The initial implementation had some challenges, but in the end we've seen lots of benefits from Exponea. If you're looking for a tool like this, we can confirm that based on our results, investing in Exponea is the right choice.
We can do things we couldn't do before with this scalable, user-friendly platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like Exponea's scalability, and the fact that a marketing person can use it without any additional IT knowledge. It's a drag-and-drop tool, which makes it super easy for the team to set up campaigns and build emails without needing IT help. But there's also the opportunity to get more technical with things like Jinja personalization, which is also really cool. The advanced customization is my favorite part of Exponea. The platform can do a lot, but it's also user-friendly, so you don't need to do a lot -- if that makes sense :) We really like that the platform lets us get stuff done mostly by ourselves – that's a big benefit for us. We try to do things rapidly, and we don't need to ask for help to make things work, which sure is positive. But when we do need help, appreciate the support -- we get very prompt responses from our dedicated Customer Success Manager. Just last week I noticed that the new predictive models weren't set up correctly and actually failed, but the Exponea Support team got it fixed before we even noticed it had failed, which is pretty good! They saw the problem even before we did.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting on spend is the thing we'd like to be improved. There's a low real-time show of how much we've spent on SMS. We do get a rough estimation of
what we're spending, but we'd like to have a genuine real-time idea so we could optimize campaigns accordingly. But a report update shows they're heading in the right direction, so we expect this feature to be available soon. It would also be useful to see
more integrations, specifically Facebook Messenger, which would be very helpful for us.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exponea lets us tie together a customer journey across the multiple different products that we have, and we can build analyses that show us how customers move between products in real-time. We also use predictive models that help us significantly reduce our send volumes while maintaining the same revenue, which is amazing for us. This means we can keep customers longer, because we're not over-sending to them like we did before. The customers who actually want more messages or info or communications get more, and the others don't. Exponea is also allowing a few more members of the team to actually get directly involved with sending campaigns, thanks to a user-friendly and straight-forward interface, and that saves us some time. A particular use case that became possible with Exponea is accurately cross-selling products. So if a customer comes in for one product, we can match their attributes and use predictive models to identify that they would also go for another product, and this lets us cross sell our products really nicely. We weren't able to do that before Exponea, and the single customer view enabled by their customer data platform makes it possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering a tool like this, be sure to check out Exponea. It's a lot more user-friendly than the other platforms out there. If you want a scalable platform, meaning not only that lots of people will be able to use it, but also that it has a lot of power and capabilities, then check out this CDP. It's worth the investment.
A stellar team with an equally great product
What do you like best about the product?
The Exponea team has exceeded our expectations at every turn – and they set them quite high during the sales process! They've been incredibly helpful at every step of our journey, and that's really set them apart as a vendor. They don't feel like just another software company that doesn't care about us...they feel like a partner dedicated to seeing us succeed. Support is always quick and helpful, and the product team seems genuinely interested in our input. Which leads us to the product...it's great! We needed a way to get a full picture of our customers, and to execute omni-channel marketing campaigns personalised for each customer, and we got just that. It doesn't hurt that the interface is great to use, and constantly surpises with its capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's honestly hard to come up with too many critiques, as Exponea is always more than willing to handle our concerns...but perhaps a few more pre-built integrations would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Exponea to deliver personalised experiences to all our customers at scale. Our customers get consistent messaging, on the channels they prefer to use, and that leads to much better customer experiences. Exponea has given us one unified platform to manage these communications and better understand our customers.
An Excellent Platform for Connecting Online and Offline
What do you like best about the product?
Exponea makes working with email campaigns rather easy, and they've made it possible for us to connect offline and online experiences. There aren't that many platforms that can do that, and we are happy with our choice.
Exponea's support team is easy to work with. They always respond quickly and with helpful answers. Exponea's support documentation is pretty extensive, and their team knows how to navigate you through it when needed. Any time I need help, I reach out to them, and they're always ready and willing to help.
The Exponea team is always rolling out new features, and it's always great to see a new release. Our dedicated Customer Success Manager is a big help, and knows how new features can make the best impact for our business.

What do you dislike about the product?
Exponea is very flexible, which is great, but I'd appreciate some more out-of-the-box use cases that I could copy into my campaigns.
Since we have multiple regional teams, we would appreciate some more granular access controls for our teams, as now we have to manage that by using tagging and filters.
For email campaigns, it would be nice to be able to save sending settings in a template -- as of now, I can just save visual layouts. It would also be nice to save templates in folders to keep them organized.
Exponea is always responsive to my feedback, and I'm sure I'll see these updates soon.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We connect offline and online experiences by collecting customer contact information in brick and mortar stores, then connecting that with their Google ID. This lets us analyze customer journeys across different touchpoints, which is very valuable for us. We use this information to create more tailored email campaigns, and we've been seeing better results with this approach.
Exponea's customer database is excellent, and we use it to store, cross reference, and export all necessary information and create visual reports for ourselves and our partners, which help us make better, more informed business decisions.
We also use Exponea's web-layers and push notifications to optimize the web experience.

Fantastic Product, Even Better Support
What do you like best about the product?
It's a one-stop-shop offering without the usual significant weak areas. Consolidating vendors has been a major benefit. Where others we RFP'ed may have been able to offer similar solutions, the GUI for those who need to work with it on a day-to-day basis also stood out. It's intuitive for non-techies, whilst technologists implementing this and setting it up aren't hampered by typical WYSIWYG over-simplified interfaces. Best of both worlds. The system's fluidity in data types, schem'as etc. make it a joy to use. No forced fields/types. Custom events, custom attributes, your own import sources; no problem. Refreshing.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's (naturally) a bit of a learning curve; expressions, running agrregates, (lack of) data schema's etc. Though extensive training is provided. But following the training does take some time out of your day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've consolidated third parties to one all encompassing marketing suite, simplifying the MarTech stack. Communicating the right message, at the right time, to the correctly segmented users has become far easier and more accurate, with tech maintenance dropping. Campaigns are launched faster, new data imported without hassle. In a time of pixel/script bloat, it's great to consolidate to a flexible system like Exponea. Email deliverability is on the up, reporting/analytics is real-time, the interface is fast. You do get more done with less effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build out in stages. The sky is the limit but of course it takes times. So start with the basics, like getting your mailing list up and running. Then implement enhanced e-commerce event tracking and so on.
Exponea is a powerhouse of Marketing, Analytic and Customization Tools!
What do you like best about the product?
Exponea is an all-in-one suite of tools to customize sales channels and marketing analytics. They have an easy to use GUI with top notch customer support. Onboarding was the best we have every experienced with constant support and training. Exponea is excellent at taking in our feedback and implementing feature improvements. This is one of the best platforms we have every used and no other platform can do all the things that Exponea offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much to dislike. There are always things to improve on but with Exponea's Roadmap and constant release updates it gets better and better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved many problems, mainly not having to use 3 different platforms to do what Exponea does. Exponea has solved our Email Marketing Shortcomings, Analytic Hurdles and given us advanced features like Recommendation Engines and Web-layers. This allows us to offer a much better user experience for our customers and cater to their shopping needs in a better way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Exponea has some of the best support and classes I have ever experienced. Being able to use a single platform for all it's offerings has been a game changer. We highly recommend Exponea to others seeking a full suite of a Customer Data & Experience Platform.
Improve search results with Bloomreach
What do you like best about the product?
Fast and accurate search results. Get quick content pushed to customers as soon as the customer begins typing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost can be substantial. My company has many brands and the implementing for all our brands can be cost prohibitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems we’re solving is giving customers accurate search results compared to our older platform.
