The CLM tool of Ab Initio is so good that you can manage the whole customer segmentation and marketing communication from this tool easily. It is the best product for the telecom sector in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ab Initio?

The process of scheduling SMS on the clm tool is a bit lengthy. And getting data for the SMS sent to the customer is also a long process. It can be shortened by adding the feature of a duplicate campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
