stensul Reviews

It’s intuitive and barely requires training. Anyone who’s used a computer or the internet can probably figure it out, it’s that easy to use!

Nothing.

If anything maybe that my company doesn’t use it for web building because it’s so easy to use.

I have to create weekly emails so stensul saves me time and makes me way more efficient.

Stensul is easy to use and creates emails that are visually appealing.

If there is an error on the formatting of your email, it is sometimes hard to identify which module is the problem.

Stensul makes it easy to create newsletters and event invites that would otherwise be tedious to create in other software.

I love how easy Stensul is to use. The UX is very intuitive and easy to navigate. They are always making improvements to the UX based on customer feedback. It integrates very easily with Marketo and SFDC. Uploading emails to your MAP is very simple. Their customer support is very quick to respond and help resolve any issues that come up.

The reporting and analytics could stand to be improved. It's difficult to determine the amount of time between creation and upload times and how it changes over time without speaking with your CSM. I also wish Stensul would allow emails to be upload into folders instead of just programs.

The plug and play aspect of the template builder has allowed us to reduce the time from email creation to send by quite a bit. It makes it very easy to upload content to use in emails. The modules also make it very easy to develop templates for future use as well.

I have to admit -- I was very skeptical at first. I've always had full control of my templates, my code. I was fast and could customize the template directly in the HTML. But Stensul proved me wrong. I can now be even faster. I realized I was wasting precious time being "hands on." And it's not like that's gone away--I can still edit the code however I want. But 99% of the time, that's not necessary, so why not simplify my life which in turns makes my stakeholders happy? Stensul lets me plug and play and build something within seconds. Literally. And it doesn't take me much longer to create something new or different, by playing around with the settings in each module, all of which we've designed in advance. Perhaps the best part is it's not only the perfect self-service solution for us, but because Stensul is SO easy, other teams can build the emails, given our team more time to focus on bigger, more time-consuming things like strategy and analytics. We also save time and effort without having to send tests for the sake of stakeholder review and approval. They can access the public previews on the fly! Furthermore, the Stensul support team has always been responsive and helpful, and they listen to our suggestions on how to improve the platform. I now regret that we didn't implement them sooner! We use it every day.

I would love to be able to "kick out" someone who has a Stensul email open, similar to how WordPress does it. More often than not, we have to remind our colleagues to close the email, as only one user at a time can edit. Stensul added a time-out that kicks a user out due to inactivity, but it can be frustrating to have to wait, especially considering how time-sensitive some of our campaigns are.

I already listed all the amazing things about Stensul under the "What do you like best about Stensul?" question. Ultimately, Stensul saves you time! And time is money! Not only that, but it ensures that you don't have any wacky code or errors in your code. In this day and age, it's no longer practical -- or commercially sensible -- to have to code by hand. Simplify your production with Stensul, but still have the flexibility to be creative in your email building.

.How intuitive the process of designing and publishing emails is

Sometimes the platform refreshes unexpectedly

The problem of creating custom emails

Very easy to train our teams. We have been on the platform for 3+ years and are very happy. Recieves the highest positive reviews from our internal team surveys.

The modules and libraries have changed how we interact with the marketing teams. It's the perfect solution to allow marketers to collobate on a pixel perfect system without providing direct access to the you main deployment tool. Then for a select audience you can grant permissions to let them push final emails into the ESP.

.The user friendly interface and how quick it is to upload to Salesforce and how often I can use it

Could use more creative features and more modules to help build my email

With Stensul you can speed up the email production process, and there is no need for hand coding. Stensul allows the teams to work easily and efficiently, and you can create great responsive emails and landing pages. Also their custumer support is amazing. There are not enough words to say how much time I save as an email developer when building /editing email using Stensul. The integration with Email On Acid is a really gem.

With Stensul sky is the limit!

Implementing complex design elements might be a little bit difficult.

Eliminating the hand coding, easy to do revisions and sending tests to Email on Acid. Preview on mobile devices.

I like that I am able to customize the appearance of our emails by choosing from a wide range of modules. The templates allow for a clean deisng template. It is also quite beginner friendly and intutive to navigate if you have used other email services in the past.

I wish there were even more module options for more email customization.

Cutomizing emails for various campaigns throughout the year.

I loved that Stensul presented the finished look and feel of our branded emails--what they would look like in a user's inbox--and allowed me to hover over a link, presenting the url that I could then follow to proof and ensure we had it correctly linked in our email. It was so easy. And, the ability to use comment bubbles throughout the email proof to note necessary edits made the whole process easy to collaborate with my team on what needed to be changed. The review and approval process was streamlined, and sure beats the old-school method of sending a test message, reviewing it in my inbox and then trying to describe in chat or another email to the email team what needed to be changed. In short, the efficiency afforded by Stensul was a huge benefit.

The only disadvantage is simply having to login each time to use Stensul--it slows me down.

Stensul streamlines our email approval process, saving staff time for key tasks and allows us to collaborate more efficiently, as the edits left in the comment bubbles of our branded email that we are proofing are automatically seen by our email team, so there's no question as to whether they received the edits or where the edits should be made.
