"A Game-Changer for Internal Comms with Powerful Analytics and Messaging"
5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

It has completely changed the way we approach internal comms. The analytics, the directory, and the different ways you can display messages have all made a real difference. For a company like ours, with both employees and field professionals, it’s been a game changer—helping us use our data and pivot when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

Truly the only thing I disliked was that you could not add in video links other than Vimeo or YouTube, but it looks like an update was made that changed that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integration with Outlook Distribution Lists"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

ContactMonkey integrates with my internal distribution lists that are created on the fly via our HR data so it's up-to-the-minute accurate. I was spending so much time adding new hires, removing termed employees and correcting departments and titles when there were promotions. With ContactMonkey I'm able to use the Outlook lists and I get metrics that break down by individuals' response to the emails. I was skeptical that it could work but it has and I'm ecstatic. The account team has been amazing. Our account rep was so helpful in getting the tool added to our system (talking with IT, continuing to check in on readiness, etc.) and was amazing in getting us trained on the product. He set up regular, short check ins at the time we'd need the information vs. dumping a whole training on us out of the gate. He's been awesome and a critical component to our success.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

We've had a few issues (emails sending more than once, preheaders falling off, issues with font substitution). I think some could be related to upgrades in MS Outlook but still have had a few incidents that have been tough to pinpoint why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect tool to design beautiful emails."
4/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

I really like how easy ContactMonkey makes it to design and edit emails, especially when using templates. The interface is intuitive, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time figuring things out. Customer support has also been very responsive and helpful whenever I’ve had questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

One thing that could be better is the sending process. Right now, designing emails on the website and then importing them into Outlook to send feels a bit clunky. It would be much more convenient if there were an option to edit emails directly from Outlook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith Thompson of ContactMonkey

Hey Sajal, thanks for taking the time to write a review.

We totally understand the frustration here. It might be helpful to know that the reason editing happens in the web app rather than directly in Outlook comes down to the limitations of Microsoft's add-in framework. It's optimized for sending and managing emails, but doesn't support the level of control our builder provides for designing templated HTML emails.

That said, feedback like yours genuinely helps shape where we take the product next. If you'd ever like to submit a feature request, you can do so through Canny or directly with your CSM.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts

"Super Helpful Support Helped Me Master ContactMonkey"
4/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

The tech support provided by ContactMonkey were super helpful. I had issues initially sending out my campaigns and the support was great. We had a one to one call and talked through the solutions. I feel like this helped me get to know the product better and use it to its fullest potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

There's little that I dislike on ContactMonkey. I would like to be able to add dividers vertically as well as horizontal when creating emails as we use it for a newsletter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistently exceeds our expectations!"
5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

Our experience with Contact Monkey has been exceptional from the start! From the user-friendly design platform to robust analytics and powerful integrations, we've gotten so much value from this partnership. We have a fantastic customer success manager in Shane, who is so helpful and responsive, and so appreciate the outstanding Tech Support team for their speedy replies when we do experience a issue... Not to mention, our ability to test out enhancements and provide feedback with the goal of making them better for everyone! End to end, an outstanding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

Bullet point formatting when we import messages into Outlook 😊. In all seriousness, the code translation isn't always perfect, but we understand and usually have the end result we set out to achieve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and easy to use"
4/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

Overall the platform is really easy to use for creating templates that bring your brand to life, they are always bringing out new features to make creation easier. Small features like AI suggested headings and summaries are a time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

Still big limitations if you are a Google customer. Everything seems to be designed for Microsoft first. Even if new features are Google compatible, it is a while before they are available to you and you feel like a poor relative in comparison to Microsoft customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith Thompson of ContactMonkey

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the template builder and AI features, really glad those are saving you time.

The feedback on the Google experience is noted and appreciated. If you're open to it, please reach out to your dedicated CSM, we'd love to hear specifically what's been most frustrating so we can factor it into our roadmap.

"ContactMonkey makes it easy to track and report on internal communication emails."
5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

ContactMonkey continuously keeps up with trends ensuring that we have the best set of tools to help do our job effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

I still dislike not being able to attach a document to an important email we have to send companywide. I also wish we could edit emails after they go out - even it was like only available within 30 minutes of a send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith Thompson of ContactMonkey

Thanks for sharing this. Both points are things we hear often from communicators sending high-stakes content who want more control over what goes out.

On post-send editing: it's worth knowing this is actually a limitation of email as a medium, not something specific to ContactMonkey. Once an email is delivered to someone's inbox, no email service provider can modify it. That said, we do offer a few ways to catch and correct issues as close to send as possible:

- Edit links after sending, which covers the most common scenario where something needs a quick fix: https://help.contactmonkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/36123274891277

- Enable Deferred Sending to create a window between triggering a send and the email actually going out, giving you time to catch anything that needs correcting: https://help.contactmonkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/40679658129165

It's also worth exploring ConfidenceCheck if you haven't already. It scans your email before sending and flags broken links, accessibility issues, typos, and other common errors, so you can fix problems in the editor rather than after the fact. For companywide sends especially, it's a really useful layer of protection.

On document attachments: good news here. We're actively working on native attachment support for Email at Scale users, and we'll share more details with customers shortly.

If you'd like help setting up Deferred Sending or getting started with ConfidenceCheck, our customer support team is happy to walk you through it. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!

"User friendly and can track reading metrics"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

I can upload a complete list of participants to distribute the report, and the system will track real-time engagement metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

- Inserting images: When uploading images, they must be saved with unique filenames; otherwise, they may not be replaced correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Contact Monkey Enhances Internal Comms Experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ContactMonkey?

I like the scheduling option and seeing the calendar view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ContactMonkey?

I would like the option to search for a keyword, and CM pulls up results of emails that contain the keyword(s), so I can better find past announcements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith Thompson of ContactMonkey

Thanks for taking the time to update your review Abby. Happy to hear that the scheduling and calendar view are working well for you, and that ContactMonkey is helping you deliver a better communication experience for your employees.

Love the call-out on keyword search for past emails too, I'll pass that along to our product team. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!
