EmailOctopus Reviews

EmailOctopus was SOOOOOO easy to use! I love it. I came over discouraged AF from trying MailChimp. Anyone whoever used MailChimp either has a degree in the software or hired someone. It is ridiculously difficult to use and it embeds itself into everything. EmailOctopus is so simple and effective. I got real-time results and I ended up making quite a bit of money emailing old customers. I will definitely be using EmailOctobus from here on out.

The only thing I didn't like is that I didn't find it sooner.

Email Octopus is so much easier to use that other email marketing products. The templates are simple and impactful, making sending new email campaigns an absolute breeze instead of a full-time job.

The only thing I would suggest is that email octopus develop an app for mobile users. That would make it even easier to use!

The software and the team behind it are fast, reliable, and responsive. I work in politics and things need to happen quickly to be impactful, which is why EmailOctopus is my go-to solution when I need to get a message out and get a report back on how well it was received.

I would add more data fields to list importing so I could segment better to one list.

Its easy to use and a lot of options are available for customization.

Just that the pricing is linked to the contacts that we store. We may not send emails to all our contacts on a regular basis, but still we end up paying for all contacts.

The number 1 key of this software is their unique ability to plug into your Amazon Email Platform account. This allows you to send out MANY MANY more emails on a daily basis than any other platform I have come across. Not to mention the ease of ability to upload the lists from wherever you have built them before.

The biggest difficulty is that there are not comprehensive statistics set up in the back office to individually see what emails are opening and reading your emails. Or the ones that are clicking. That is a step down from where I was before.

It's lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to work with.

I'd like a more robust developer API, so that I can take more control over how I'm utilizing the service in my apps.

EmailOctopus dispenses with all the tools for marketers that other services offer and focuses on a simple but crucial set of features: straightforward list management, fine-grained control over templating, clear workflow, sensible analytics that don't veer into creepy surveillance territory.

All that said, there are a couple features that would be nice to have: embedded subscription forms that don't need jQuery, and a CSS inlining tool for building custom templates (many others are available; it would just be nice to have it all in one place).

Simplicity of the User Interface, AWS Integration and Delivery quality.

The price farely high given to the fact that I still have to pay AWS.

The price is excellent, and I love that they're unrolling features constantly. Two of my favorite features are automation (a must-have), and drag-and-drop design.

It's not always intuitive to use, so I sometimes have to ask for support. However, they always get back to me quickly. Also, I'm desperate for list segmentation and have been asking for that feature for a while now.

It's not bloated - features they have are those that 98% of us need.

Being used to numerous bells & whistles from other providers I sometimes miss advanced tagging and similar stuff. But, realistically - it's not needed and this is NOT a problem in Octopus.

This software is incredibly easy to use and customize. All of the features are incredibly intuitive and the end result is absolutely incredible.

The one difficulty I had was importing my email list to the software, but I'm sure there was probably a mistake on my end as I am not the best at technology nor would I say I am well-versed at using it.

I had been using mailchimp but found it very expensive for what I was getting. So I tried out EmailOctopus... and promptly cancelled my mailchimp account. It is user friendly and has great features. I can do everything I need to do without extending my budget. The pricing for what you get is AMAZING!

Have yet to find anything. I am still new but so far, so good.

EmailOctopus is a cheap alternative to more famous email marketing Saas. While it isn't as powerful as Mailchimp, it is a lot easier to master and has everything most businesses will ever need.

The embeddable form are quite ugly, they look at least ten years old. While they work great, looks matter in web design.

The ability to use our own template so we can jump in and get done what we need to quickly.

having to go back multiple screens to fix something then go forward through them all again to complete.

Love how simple it is to use, clear interface, quick and just gets the job done.

Poor search facility for finding subscribers to manually unsubscribe (you have to check every list individually) and adding a tool to unsubscribe from just one list rather than everything would be great.

User friendly software ( I have no programming / coding experience)
Compatability with other digital products
Customer support par excellence

It is intuitive but can be even more so, great customer support compensates for what I 'don't get' intuitively

I think EmailOctopus is perfect for either the beginner or even the advanced user, since the key indicators included on the platform have already been good enough to help the users to understand the feedback and enact following action. Overall speaking, I will say it's with superb high "COST and PROFIT" value. Besides, customer service is kind to answer your questions with details. Much appreciated it. Also look forward to seeing more and more intuitive functions on the platform.

It will be great if there are more template to choose while making the campaign. The existing templates have already been good enough, though.

Ease of use and price. We create our own email code in-house, so we have no need for templates and other frills, excessive customer support, etc. The absence of up-selling on their behalf has been a plus.

We are concerned about the centralization of services through Amazon Web Services which EmailOctopus utilizes for their back-end email delivery service.

It is cheap, easy to use, has surprisingly good looking templates, and not so picky on lists.

No list segmentation or ability to target subscribers on activity.

Simple to send mass emails from different list
Simple interface
Easy to use email builder

Hard to screen out and remove non active subscribers

Easy to use and I'm not very good with computers.

No issues so far with the software and I been using over a year.

Great usability and easy to set-up website widgets.

Not that easy to set-up without a technical person (with Amazon servers etc.)

AWS ses is great and cost effective for this mailer

Collaboration module is missing which could have been better

Creating campaigns is a breeze and we had not issues on their website

Email wise dependent on amazon ses. The templates are very poor and extremely limited in counted

One of the best parts of this software is email delivery with Amazon. One one the best email platform for email marketing. will definitely recommend emailoctopus to other companies.

Amazon takes time to increase the email sending limit. but once you know their criteria, it will be easy to verify.
