What differentiates Constant Contact from other similar products?

Honestly, I don't know at this point - I've been using Constant Contact for 10 years, and have been happy enough with the features and interface to not shop this portion of our tech stack around.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I appreciate the way they continue to expand capabilities while generally maintaining an intuitive interface. Features are constantly being incorporated into the system.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some new features feel rushed, and as though they haven't been user-tested before rollout. UX can be a bit dodgy in parts of the program.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are a small or medium sized business, this seems like it would fulfill the vast majority of your email and social media management needs. I'm not sure how effective this tool would be at the enterprise level.
