"A Dotdigital customer for many years"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dotdigital?

Really easy platform to use and train people to use. Customer support has always been fantastic and really helpful. Any way you decide to contact them you'll always get a response within a couple of hours, sometimes within the hour. Always really friendly and never had any issues arise. No problems with implementation, straightforward. My whole working day is based around Dotdigital so I am constantly on the platform. Intergration is also never an issue with us. Currently working on a project and it's been managed and intergrated well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dotdigital?

Reporting side of things is good but feel we as a company are missing one tracked element, revenue. Would be really useful for us to have revenue as a filter when looking at campaign reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gemma Irish of Dotdigital

Hey there!

Thanks so much for your fantastic review!

it's great to hear the platform is working well for you.

In relation to filtering reporting by revenue, I would recommend reaching out to us at support@dotdigital.com so we may discuss your requirements and see what options we have available for you. 😊

"Truly helpful AI help agent; image organization UX needs improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dotdigital?

The AI help agent is truly useful. In the support pop-up, there are the typical resources: search the knowledge base or chat with a rep. But the AI tool (bulldog mascot) is shockingly good. Most of the times these product-based LLMs are useless, offering generic advice or even entirely made-up suggestions. The DD bulldog is spot-on with its comprehension of my questions as well as the step-by-step advice for troubleshooting or setting something up. You can have a real back and forth dialogue with the tool. If you're working on something complex, remember not to answer yes to "Did this answer your question?" because it closes the chat and you have to start over. It's not just asking for feedback, it's looking to close the ticket, essentially. I look forward to the ability to train it on brand identity so it could be asked more strategic questions as well as tactical ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dotdigital?

The UX for image organization could be more intuitive. Contacts cannot be searched by name. There's no automatic saving in the email editor. 🫨 (What is this, 1998?) The email preview area has to be coded through HTML. There's no way to view all saved building blocks outside of the email editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Hughes of Dotdigital

Hey Jimmie,

Thanks for the review! We appreciate it.

I would like to touch on a couple of points regarding automatic saving and the previews.

By default, all of our campaigns auto-save. This happens one minute after any change you make. We've got more information on this here: https://support.dotdigital.com/en/articles/8198903-review-tools-for-email-campaigns-the-utilities-menu#h_91bdf12463

The Previews allow you to preview them in Plain Text as well as HTML. If you're having trouble with the preview feature, feel free to reach out to us at support@dotdigital.com

"Effortless Email Marketing with Stellar Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Dotdigital?

I mostly use Dotdigital for email marketing and internal company newsletters, and it's fantastic at making communication with our online customer segment really easy. Any issues that come up are quickly resolved through our dedicated rep, the chat feature, or their AI bot. It's really easy to use, offering the best user experience I've had with an email marketing platform. I also want to mention my rep Emily Keye, who has been great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dotdigital?

It's partly due to our system configuration, but we haven't been able to connect our CRM system or catalog into Dotdigital. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Personalization but Needs Tweak"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Dotdigital?

I appreciate how easy Dotdigital is to use and how it allows for a lot of customization in email communications. Personalization is a key benefit, and the tool makes it simple to tailor emails to specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dotdigital?

It's complicated to manage emails for users with different operating systems, like dark or light OS. You are able to personalize but once you forward an email, the recipient receives both versions of the email, which is something I cannot depend on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Hughes of Dotdigital

Hey Faizan,

Thanks for the review! We appreciate it.

Regarding the forwarding, unfortunately, this is something out of our control and is dependent on how the mail provider renders the email once it's been forwarded.

"Versatile Email Marketing with Glitchy Moments"
4/5
What do you like best about Dotdigital?

I like Dotdigital's functionality compared to other email platforms and how much it can do. The creation of emails with their drag and drop function is really easy. We can create email preferences that link into our website and segment our contacts for more targeted emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dotdigital?

It can be a bit glitchy sometimes, which might be because we're using the same email campaigns as a template instead of starting from fresh. I think the anchors have a mind of their own - sometimes they work and sometimes I have to go in and redo certain ones for reasons I can't work out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Hughes of Dotdigital

Hey Emily,

Thanks for the review! We appreciate it.

If you're noticing issues with glitching, or the anchor links, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@dotdigital.com and we'll be happy to take a closer look.

The customer service is excellent. Emily Keye has been a really great partner as our CSM too, providing a lot of useful suggestions and insights to optimize out campaigns.
