"A Cumbersome Marketing Automation Solution"

What do you like best about Bento?

Bento is not very user friendly for developers like me. Once you get the hang of it its difficult to work with and navigate. The interface seems overwhelming for newcomers. Personally, I am unable to overcome that learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

The worst part is that I have encountered many issues with Bento far. Its a platform that does not help me to achieve my goals. There are some bugs and the visual editor isnt my favorite, the Bento team has not promptly solved problems and their customer support is poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent, reliable service"

What do you like best about Bento?

I'm supremely confident Bento can handle any email marketing requirements I might dream up, thanks to its powerful automation tools (flows).

Crucially, it's also possible to debug that automation, to see precisely what events/actions have occurred for each subscriber, via Bento's detailed logs. This puts it above other tools which hide that information, or only paint a partial picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

As a developer I find it easy to work with. Saying that, I get the impression that, for less technical folk it could be a little overwhelming, with a relatively steep initial learning curve (personally I got over that hump within the first few days!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Packed with features and a joy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Bento?

Bento offers features that are hard to find in other email marketing solutions, such as tracking visitors on the site before they even sign up and a chat system. In addition, being event-based allows for incredibly powerful and flexible automations. Bento also has some goodies such as the ability to send emails in batches, the ability to group tags into groups, and the ability to set tags to expire. In addition, although a lot of external services do not integrate directly with Bento, it is really very easy to integrate with this email marketing automation solution.

I personally use it mostly on WordPress sites and implementing it with this CMS is really easy.

Since I started using Bento I have also seen an increase in the delivarability of my messages.

I was also positively impressed by the support through Discord. It is very easy to talk and get quick answers directly from the founder of Bento. A whole different thing from the long wait times that happen with other services. In some cases, with Bento, new features are added in no time at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

So far I have not had any problems with Bento.

However, it would not be bad if there was more documentation on the site. At the moment most of the information is accessible mainly by participating in discussions on Discord and searching the archives of past conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product with even better service"
5/5
What do you like best about Bento?

The support and community within Bento is hands down the best I've ever seen from any company, ever.

Any question I have is always answered quickly and effectively - and I have many questions as someone without a lot of experience in the email marketing field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

It's a little tricky to use and navigate when you've not logged in for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent email marketing software for SaaS, great ROI!"
5/5
What do you like best about Bento?

I love how easy it is to use to design SaaS emailing sequences. You can also see rapidly which campaigns are the money makers. But what I love the most is undoubtedly the deliverability that you have once you've set up custom domain tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

I'm not a big fan of its visual editor but it's fine, I just don't use as a result and reach my goals in another way. There is some minor bugs also but they're always fixed very rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesomely flexible automation and communication for SaaS marketers"
5/5
What do you like best about Bento?

Bento's automation capabilities are almost infinite through its Workflows feature where you can use ANY user generated-event (either standard or custom events captured through code) as a trigger for a workflow. These workflows can start/stop email sequences, chat conversations; or they can update your CRM and other systems via webhooks or Zapier integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bento?

Some of the reports are not as clear/useful as they could be considering the wealth of underlying data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
