The UI could benefit from a face-lift and would be nice to have an implementation team based in London instead of San Fransisco (helps us European companies) but Blueshift has been really open-minded for early meetings for them.

Our campaigns target over 20 markets in 12 different languages.

I need to highlight though that they have worked very closely with us to address this and other challenges in a fast and efficient way.

"A powerhouse of NASA Grade technology"
What do you like best about Blueshift?
Honestly? Triggered campaigns are pretty damn cool, they're essentially set and forget - but obviously don't actually forget about them - you should probably check them from time to time :P
Also the bee template builder shared assets feature, from a dev point of view means a lot of good code re-use. That plus the power of bee templates has really empowered our marketing team when it comes to their velocity and quality.
Blueshift's connectivity with a bazillion different platforms is a definite win also, although it can be overwhelming at first!
The recommendations system is very powerful, but can be tricky to onboard with at first. You can pretty much do anything you want in there though once you get going.
What do you dislike about Blueshift?
The UI can be a bit tricky to navigate, not everything is super clear at first. But I've found that you can usually get any questions you have cleared up on a call with your account manager. It would be good to see all the documentation updated comprehensively though!
The staff user limit is a bit weird, I've often wondered why it has to cost us more to get a few extra staff member accounts added.
Recommendations to others considering Blueshift:
Consider if you are ready for the feature-set that blueshift has to offer. If you just need simple EDM software for some basic campaigns, Blueshift probably isn't for you. If you're a larger corporation who want's a very personal 1:1 connection with your customers, I'd hands-down recommend Blueshift.
What problems is Blueshift solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've needed a single platform to manage our outgoing campaigns for a while. Blueshift solves that problem easily, but then also delivers a bazillion other features which honestly - is a bit overwhelming at first - but also exciting. We've barely scratched the surface in terms of what it can offer, and it's become a massive priority for us as a business to start utilizing the platform and it's many capabilities more!
