What do you like best about MessageGears Platform?

There were 3 primary reasons we chose to switch to MessageGears from our previous solution- 1) the 'hybrid' solution allows us incredible flexibility with our data, 2) responsive developers & support, and 3) aggressive approach to pricing that fits well with our unique sending patterns.

We've been very happy for about 3 years now with the service and the team. All 3 of our initial reasons have remained positives for the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MessageGears Platform?

I would only have 2 areas that we'd consider 'dislike.' The interface for end users doesn't have nearly the polish of a MailChimp, which I do hear about from end users. It is however simple enough that users get up and running with very little training on our side. The other is almost more of a back-handed compliment; because they are constantly improving and adding features to the end-user interface, stuff breaks more often than you'd see on more of a consumer-focussed or less actively updated tool.

We are using this MessageGears for most of our iMeet product daily meeting invites and other communications to our customers. Our users are receiving emails on time and did not see any major failures. MessageGears has very good API structure and easy to integrate with any application with no time. I always recommend MessageGears email system for any kind of applications which is depends on email system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MessageGears for ClickDimensions"
4/5
What do you like best about MessageGears Platform?

MessageGears has good consistent uptime and reliability. The portal has a lot of benefits including the rankings of the accounts, trends within the accounts, the email html and spam assassin scores. One of the features I use the most often is the bounce downloads for the daily sends for an account.

MessageGears support has been very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MessageGears Platform?

My number one dislike is, within the portal, not being able to search by date for all accounts. Also, having the bounces viewable by send instead of date would be helplful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Message Gears "
4.5/5
What do you like best about MessageGears Platform?

Message Gears serves as a viable email server for the software company that I work for. I like that the interface shows error messages in a clear, concise format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MessageGears Platform?

I would like to see the subject line included for individual email sends for testing purposes. We often deal with clients that send out many email sends in a single day and the subject line would greatly benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Significant improvement over other bulk email providers"
3.5/5
What do you like best about MessageGears Platform?

MessageGears gives us the ability to self-host our database, which significantly reduces our TCO. Also, MessageGears has powerful integration with our data warehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MessageGears Platform?

The upgrade process can be a bit cumbersome, and troubleshooting application errors (especially tracebacks generated from template rendering) can be obscure. User management is onerous; it would be preferable to use some sort of SSO instead of making our colleagues remember yet another password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful Platform - Terrible Interface"
3.5/5
What do you like best about MessageGears Platform?

The ability to look up a email based on id. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MessageGears Platform?

When loading the accounts page, I've noticed that all of our accounts (thousands) all load at once on the page and then are hidden in a multi-page searchable frame. This causes extremely long load times and can be frustrating. I also find it very difficult to search for specific emails based on subject line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
