What do you like best about Bluecore?

Being able to target different segments of audiences, being able to automate multiple triggers such as abandoned product, search, cart, next best purchase, etc. It's great to be able to showcase different dynamic blocks of products as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

There are way too many glitches, and the price kills it for us smaller to medium-level companies. I like the idea of being priced on per click, but there needs to be a way to segment out emails that go out for impression and clicks, and not clicks for conversions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to target multiple audiences that are looking for different product focuses. We're able to track everything correctly from conversion rate and revenue, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bluecore?

Email Visual Editor for building emails is really easy to use and has so much functionality, you can send fully personalised emails without needing to code them yourself. Having templates and widgets configurable is so useful for running seasonal campaigns which will include a mix of the same content. Love how easy it is to configure audiences and customer journeys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

The wording while setting up conditions for emails, site campaigns, and audiences, can be quite counter-intuative and require more discussion around what behavious it is targeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Specific targeting of customers exhibiting certain behaviours allows us to increase our revenue by displaying only relevant content to our customers, and helps keep our subscribers engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm still finding huge halts within our emails and I don't completely understand the way the data is pulled from our site but Mark is always trying to explain it as best as he can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bluecore?

Bluecore is one of the best ESP's I have ever used. The tool is great to use. Simple & efficient. But the AI is really what makes it standout over others. Being able to bring in predictive elements into audiences and campaigns is next level. I love using this tool each and every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

What I dislike about Bluecore's tool is also what I like about it and speaks to the team behind the scenese. Anytime we find a way to use the tool that wasn't intended or break the tool, we work with the team to create what we need. We have had a lot of enhancements over the years because we are power users that I don't think anyone foresaw but we worked through those issues and came out better on the other side and helped the tool grow. I couldn't do what I do today without the help of our Bluecore team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bluecore is helping us solve lifecycle stage issues with our consumers. They help us target engaged consumers and retarget unengaged consumers. We've expanded our trigger database past what anyone was probably expecting us to do and I'm not done yet! Bluecore is benefiting us by providing a tool and a team to work with that keeps up with any idea or problem we find in ecommerce! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backend system is a bit more outdated than other platforms, and I would love to see a more user-friendly refresh that provides industry recommendations regarding commonly triggered campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

The biggest downside of Bluecore is the reporting that is provided. The reporting is not very actionable as there is not year over year comps or any comparisons for that matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bluecore is helping to solve personalization and relevancy at scale. We are able to send much more volume that is targeted towards individuals who have engaged with the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any 3rd party vendor, some customization is critical for maximum client impact. However, we were up and running our first five personalized and dynamic email campaigns in less than two months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One-to-one personalization utilizing audience models and segmentation. They help bridge the gaps between who to target and what content to surface at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bluecore?

We use them for triggered email campaigns and batch. They make personalization easy. Their email builder tool is incredible and makes it easy to build 1-1 personalized emails. They even have pre-built email templates you can use and modify if you don't want to build one from scratch. In addition to basic email segment, their audience builder allows you to create targeted audiences using their AI tools to target based on purchase behaviors. Lastly, they have the best account support I've had with any ESP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

Limited reporting on product-level data within the emails like how many times a specific item was shown in an email, etc. The platform also uses a WYSIWG email builder so there are limitations if you have specific needs - however, the team has always been willing to help us find a workaround in those circumstances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were able to send triggered emails in real-time without having to set up any feeds. And more recently their team helped us bring personalization into our batch campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bluecore?

The support and customer service teams are wonderful. I've been working with them for about a year now, and have zero complaints. They respond in a timely fashion, and make our team feel like a valued customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluecore?

In areas of the platform where there are complex choices to be made, there's an opportunity for more explanation within the product. For instance, when adjusting audience parameters, it'd be helpful to have more explanatory bubbles guiding you toward different changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping us narrowly target users on our website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
