What do you like best about Beefree?

Bee does a great job at creating responsive email design; although a drag and drop system can be limited in it's options, Bee it is quite flexible; great job at listening to customers and being constantly evolving to provide more and better tools for email creation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

Some limitations on responsive design, it would be nice to have a tablet view; missing an image library; place images in row with the text is not possible, often I have to add images after exporting the HTML because some technical texts require symbols that are not convencional characters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workflow speed increased greatly since there is no need for a programmer to get involve in email template creations; learning curve is very short, because it is very easy to use, so any designer can just jump in and start to use it really quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Massimo Arrigoni of Beefree

Great to hear that you've been able to speed up your email design workflow, Patricia, and that the learning curve has been pretty quick. Thanks for all the detailed product feedback: we're passing it on to the Product team!

What do you like best about Beefree?

We have several email marketers on our team that are not advanced in html coding but need the ability to create templates for our sites and emails without bogging down the Digital and Design teams with daily projects. BEE has been a fantastic solution to allow them to work in a sophisticated template creator and subsequently import the coding into our ESP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

I wish you could grab the html coding directly from the site vs having to download the html file to get it, but it's a matter of 10 seconds to go that extra step so it isn't a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Beefree:

If you need a product that will help a wide range of content creators and their levels of experience with html and design, BEE is hands-down a winner. We use BEEPro and it has proven a cost-efficient solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Email creation for a wide range of html coding expertise. Our less experienced marketers can create their own templates and emails. Additionally we can view shared projects so if more than one person is working on something we can easily access and make edits to the templates as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Beefree?

It provides the perfect balance between a WYSIWYG responsive HTML editor, and the ability to manually tweak code when needed. Its Saved Rows and Templates features enable me to ensure that our brand standards are consistently applied across all projects, and the Synched Rows feature enables me to quickly update assets when needed, even when they’re already in use in multiple active projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

1. Saved rows and synched rows in emails default to a width of 500 pixels, which produces undesirable results when placed into an email that is 650 pixels wide. This feature needs to either provide a mechanism to adjust the default width of a Saved Row, or automatically adjust when placed in an email with a different width.

2. There is no easy way to add custom HTML SPAN attributes to text (i.e. <span style="white-space: nowrap;"></span>). This can only be done manually after I’ve exported the code, which makes the process more cumbersome than it should be.

3. Templates don’t save UTM parameters. This makes no sense to me, because UTM parameters almost always have a standard syntax, so we should be able to save defaults with our templates.

4. I wish the settings tab offered me a way to add custom CSS to my templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

They’re constantly adding new features, which I appreciate. It was already great when my company started using it in December, and it’s even better now. I’ve communicated my wishlist of features to them many times, and I hope many of those will be implemented as time allows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Massimo Arrigoni of Beefree

Thanks for sharing your good experience with our email design suite, and for providing detailed feedback on product improvements. We really appreciate it. You mentioned that you have already shared those points with our team, so I'm sure they are being taken into serious consideration for future releases. Thanks again for taking the time to provide detailed feedback.

What do you like best about Beefree?

Beefree is so easy to use and they continuously are adding more and more templates and content block options. It is super easy to organize email types into folders and export the HTML or into many other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

Nothing - it's great. I do wish i could export to this email provider i use called intercom. Intercom is great for emailing my members but the WYSIWYG editor is super limited and to adjust my templates i need to access and change the CSS and while that's not bad, it's just not nearly as easy and nible as bee is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is easy to design really nice looking emails and work with other team members because saving content blocks to reuse and also being able to organize the emails into folders is really great. It just makes designing emails super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stephanie Benoit of Beefree

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that Beefree is helping you design great-looking emails and collaborate with your team more effectively. We'll definitely pass your request to the product team for integration with intercom

This is the perfect tool for creating email templates and then exporting them in html. This way I can have html versions to send to service providers or import them directly into my brevo email tool! What's more, you can split all your templates into different folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing so far, I haven't had any problems using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Beefree?

Beefree is a extremely simple to use. I'm in it almost every day and I can honestly say I have been able to get so much more accomplished with this tool. In our use case, we need to be able to export html directly into our TCM platform and beefree is an affordable and simple program that fits our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

Though there are many templates included in a BeeFree membership, I find most of them are too specific to be of any use to me. Others may disagree, but I've really spent the vast majority of time working from a blank template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Beefree allows me to quickly create usable html to drop into our through channel marketing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stephanie Benoit of Beefree

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Beefree. We understand the importance of easy HTML export for your TCM platform and are pleased to hear that Beefree has met your needs.

Creating templates from scratch is a great way to use Beefree. Have you checked out the Really Good Emails catalog? It could be a great opportunity to get inspired and see what has worked for other companies in your industry.

Thanks again for the review,

Stephanie

What do you like best about Beefree?

The ability to rapidly create highly compliant html and great looking emails very quickly, with templating/library that can be shared across the team. Also independence from email service provider lock-in and shortcomings (far too many over the years), plus great support for rare problems and help, along with the culture of continuous but not overstretch improvement, and sensible/reasonable pricing. Not perfect (but then email code is very tricky for something ostensibly so simple) but by far the best option I know. We use multiple times a week. Setup is a cinch. Not using the integration much, but that is out of choice (also really like the multiple options for downloading code so can edit, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

Surprisingly few dislikes, partly because things have been steadily improved and enhanced over four years as a client. I would really like more responsiveness/adaptability for mobile, plus enhancement to the library and saved components (to better support rollback and archiving), and a bit more selective control over application of UTM to URLs, but these latter points are very much in the nice-to-have list. Overall, a v happy user/customer, with Beefree massively better than previous solutions. Across hundreds if not thousands of email, the platform has only glitched a handful of times (and only once or twice seriously) and that may have been my connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productive and solid, templated email building and code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Beefree?

Love the UX, so easy to build using the drag and drop functionality. Saves me so much time! Implementation was like a 2 click job.

Using this tool every day of the week.

If I have had any issues customer support has been amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

Integrations are limited, so it would be great if you could include all merger fields applicable to the major platform I export to like Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me Beefree is solving email building, drag and drop takes me minutes, where as it used to take hours our of my hectic work week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stephanie Benoit of Beefree

Hi Charles!

We're delighted to hear that Beefree has been a valuable time-saving tool for your email-building needs.

What do you like best about Beefree?

I've been a loyal user of BEE for the past four years and I have migrated our entire company to use the tool. Previously either very few people could build emails or the email builders in EMS tools were too complicated. BEE makes it very easy for an entire team to build emails, use templates and catalog our content. This is a daily feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

I would be a bigger fan of Bee if their HTML expanded to in-app messages or if they integrated with Braze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time suck of building emails and getting previews out for approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stephanie Benoit of Beefree

Hi!

Thank you for being such a loyal user of Beefree and for sharing your experience! It’s amazing to hear how Beefree has helped your team streamline email creation and catalog content—exactly the kind of collaboration we aim to empower.

We noticed your comment about Braze, and we’re excited to let you know that we do have a Braze connector! I've linked the Beefree + Braze Integration page below, and we have a video tutorial that walks you through the simple setup process.

If there’s a specific functionality you were hoping for or any expectations about the integration, we’d love to hear more. Your feedback helps us continue to improve and better meet your needs.

Thanks again for your trust in Beefree. We’re here to support you and your team!

What do you like best about Beefree?

We needed to switch from another email creation software and during our search, Beefree checked off everything on our list. I don't even need support for implementation or integrations. Their system is very easy to use and has a ton of features. I LOVE the fact that you can personalize and build your emails to function properly on both desktop and mobile, plus their tool makes the mobile version actually look good. Our emails look incredible now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beefree?

It takes a long time for support to respond to submitted tickets. I think they may be overseas so when they do email back and you replay, you usually have to wait 24 hours to get a response. But I haven't had any emergencies where I needed support ASAP. Any problems I had were solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Beefree solving and how is that benefiting you?

Beefree helps us quickly and efficiently build beautiful emails, optimized for both mobile and desktop. The emails function as they should as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
