"User-Friendly Tool with Seamless Integration and Robust Features"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I appreciate SAP Emarsys for its drag and drop, segmentation, and the ease it provides in setting up journeys and reporting. It makes the process of creating campaigns much more enjoyable and user-friendly, especially in comparison to Hybris Marketing. I find the multiple language options for emails, suggested workflows, and enhanced reporting capabilities particularly useful. The integration of AI in SAP Emarsys expands the options available, allowing me to run better campaigns based on user behavior. The ease of use and the simplicity of integrating SAP Emarsys with other tools are also significant advantages that contribute to its appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Automation, Needs Offline Integration"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I like most the automation part and the freedom it provides to the clients, allowing us to use it the way the company intends for the customer. The analytics part is pretty simple and easy to use and visualize. The automation combines trigger, segmentation, recurring, and real-time features with a lot of channels available for us, letting us easily use more than 20 types of automations in our CRM. The implementation and initial use of the tool were smooth, thanks to the help of NTT Data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

The main problem that doesn't work as well is that SAP Engagement Cloud is so online-focused. There are a lot of cool features that are only intended to work with online info, which limits a company that works both with online and physical sales. Features like price drop, predict recommendation, and product interest just work for online interactions, limiting the number of customers we could impact or the info we could use.

"Empodera Insights do Cliente, Necessita de Pesquisa Avançada"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

Gosto da confiança nos segmentos e dados de clientes fornecidos pelo SAP Engagement Cloud (anteriormente SAP Emarsys). Os segmentos funcionam muito bem para mim e o histórico de alterações é particularmente útil ao verificar dados de clientes ou alterações de consentimento. Também aprecio as possibilidades de incluir campos personalizados. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

Eu não gosto do aspecto de 'buscar por', porque a lupa só permite buscar por e-mails. Eu gostaria de buscar meus clientes usando campos personalizados, como CPF. A configuração inicial não foi fácil porque usamos CPF como nossa chave principal, enquanto o SAP Engagement Cloud procurava por e-mails, então precisávamos personalizar muitas coisas.

"Versatile Tool with Room for Improvement in Design Features"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I like that SAP Engagement Cloud offers a structured platform with a lot of possibilities, including multiple communication channels. It provides big opportunities for data analysis and is a very intuitive platform. The great support is another aspect I appreciate, and it allows us to only need one tool that offers it all, thus avoiding a long onboarding time since everyone can easily use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

The process of creating email designs is a bit more complex and could be improved by making it easier to build blocks, perhaps with more templates from the community. The same goes for the forms, the webchannel, and the data dashboard. They are outdated and it is not possible to design them individually without a big effort.

"Real-Time Data Automation with SAP Engagement Cloud"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I use SAP Engagement Cloud to handle customer engagement using real-time operational data, which lets my customer messages update automatically based on backend events like delivery issues. I appreciate not having to write cron jobs, webhooks, or ETL flows just to keep campaigns up to date. The real-time connection to ERP data automates complex problems like reduced ML infrastructure needs, less custom algorithm tuning, and no need to maintain recommendation engines. The system reacts instantly to operational events like inventory changes or delays because it's connected directly to SAP's core systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

There's no deep, code-level debugging like we have with custom microservices, CloudWatch metrics, message tracing. This makes it harder to identify the root cause of failures, slowing development cycles. The initial setup wasn't hard but definitely not plug and play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Communication with Compliance and Automation"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I appreciate how SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys) unifies client data and automates compliant, event-driven communications tailored to the capital markets industry. It centralizes investor profiles, transaction history, and engagement touchpoints, which helps eliminate data silos and reduces manual coordination across our team. The built-in compliance framework aligns perfectly with GDPR, BaFin, and MiFID II requirements, allowing us to execute institutional outreach, IPO updates, and fixed-income announcements confidently without heavy legal review. Its reliable workflow automation scales personalized client engagement efficiently, maintaining strong relationships with institutional investors, asset managers, and family offices without sacrificing quality or consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

The reporting and analytics feel somewhat limited for capital markets-specific use cases. Custom dashboards for tracking institutional client engagement alongside deal performance require extra manual configuration. The native integration with our trading and portfolio systems works, but it often needs additional IT support to fully sync client and transaction data in real time.

"Versatile Marketing Automation, Needs Enhanced Reporting"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I love the drag and drop email builder, the powerful segmentation tool, and the good reporting insights in SAP Engagement Cloud. It allows us to send high-impact campaigns with built-in segmentation and reporting tools. I appreciate having the flexibility to design new templates and connect third-party integrations to build multichannel campaigns that reach the right audience. I like being able to build campaigns for different channels from the same platform. These tools make my job simpler and give me a single customer view. The platform itself is much more reliable and lets us manage automations in-house, build campaigns for other channels in one platform, and access more powerful tools like omnichannel vouchers and better reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I would like to be able to segment based on channel affinity, and to see more in-depth reporting for other channels like webchannel, mobile engage, and SMS. There's in-depth insight for emails, but very surface level for push and SMS when it comes to observing trends. Heatmaps for test emails would also be great. The setup was challenging due to some outdated systems on our side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Campaign Personalization with Robust Automation"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I love how SAP Engagement Cloud personalizes campaigns at scale and automates customer journeys using real-time data and AI insights. The segmentation, AI recommendations, and event-triggered workflows make the campaigns personalized and effective. I also switched to SAP Engagement Cloud from Adobe Campaign to benefit from its simpler automation, better AI personalization, and easier omnichannel campaign management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

It could improve its ease of use for beginners and make advanced reporting more intuitive. It could be easier with a simpler setup and navigation, and reporting could improve with customizable dashboards and drag-drop reports. The initial setup of SAP Engagement Cloud was a bit challenging at first but became easy once we got familiar with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Marketing automation without hassle, but complex setup"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I like that SAP Engagement Cloud is constantly being improved in line with the latest trends, making it user-friendly. It is not just a product for developers, but also for marketers and anyone without technical knowledge. The ability to add personalization and integrate with third-party databases for subsequent use of this data within the platform is also impressive. This ultimately allows the client to transform emails into profit, which I find the most interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

It was quite difficult for me to set up SAP Engagement Cloud. You need to understand the technical documentation and interact with the manager who needs to activate something. This takes a lot of time and requires coordination, especially if several teams are working. I wish this process were simpler. I noticed that it would be useful to add more AI integration and simplify the automation interface, as many people get confused with it. AI solutions for simplifying programming and technical aspects, for example, in the template editor, would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Segmentation and AI-Driven Insights"
What do you like best about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

I find SAP Engagement Cloud very easy, user-friendly, and fast. I like its user-friendly interface and how it allows things to get done faster than our previous system. The AI analytical tool is great for easy access to performance data, and I appreciate the engagement event segment builder which is excellent for creating specific segments without needing a template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Engagement Cloud (formerly SAP Emarsys)?

It's not as easy to see where the segments are used - campaign or digital ad. Only when you click delete, you can have an overview. You cannot delete segments within the segment either. You have to search it up from the overview to find it and delete it there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
