"Create the best marketing campaigns for your company and optimize your emails."
What do you like best about Litmus?

Visual indicators of what to change and a green approval button; additional data tracking email sends; many different templates provided by Litmus; tools to strengthen campaigns and segment audiences. The product is constantly improved and updated in terms of branding layouts and colors. Post-processed HTML, preview functions, and an analytics checklist. Spam check function and ability to send emails directly to Litmus.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

With its non-intuitive interface to navigate, long loading times, messy checklists, and higher processing counts, the mobile application can present many errors in sending emails with very slow processing times. However, it is a corporate tool with great reach and performance.

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

It is an essential tool for collaboration. We were also able to learn more about the browsers our customers use, create emails, send samples to review, and make suggestions for chances. Applications to all aspects of the company's marketing, including social media search and paid campaigns. Creative routing, spam testing and rendering testing, email marketing, and CRM.

"Litmus is great for reviewing emails - reporting still need some work"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Reviewing emails across different clients. I love being able to look at all of the different clients in one dashboard. It makes review in simple and easy. It's great.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

The reporting is still kind of clunky and not easy to install or set up. However, I don't view witness as a platform for reporting so maybe that's the problem, reporting is not what you do so maybe stick with email editing?

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

Litmus solves the problem of sending out emails that have errors in them. By proofing every email that we send we can ensure that everything is air free when sent.

"Very easy to use"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Great product for identifying visual issues across all of the major platforms. Identifying issues and potential issues before they are duplicated and more importantly sent.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Cost can be a bit high with volume as it cost more the more platforms ou look at. If there is an issue with only one it is not easy to just check the one so you end up wasting a lot of credits.

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

Identifying issues and differences displayed across platforms.

"Litmus is the perfect tool for creating, checking and fixing our email templates"
What do you like best about Litmus?

I really love the previews feature of Litmus, a lot of different email clients to make sure we make the best email templates.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Integration with our tool Marketo Engage would have been a very strong asset.

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

In Marketo we only have a standard desktop preview and we can send to our own emailaddress. Litmus provides everything we need regarding email client previews.

"Litmus helps us with email testing for our customers."
What do you like best about Litmus?

Zip-Download of the previews. Retesting emails that failed our tests.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

- no API available (plan: litmus plus) - would love to download the zip automatically in our own system - can't choose between different email client lists (email on acid has this feature) - can't sync/share email client lists between team members - can't easily test email for just one client or two clients (mostly outlook win) --> need to change client list twice (email on acid has better options) - previews on the page are slow (detail page)

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

- testing emails for our clients for all kind of email clients

"Essential tool in email marketing and collaboration"
What do you like best about Litmus?

The easily shareable testing links are helpful in large-scale email marketing. Litmus has a huge variety of client previews, which helps cover all bases.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

The number of decisions on what client previews to include can be overwhelming for new team members. Having more pre-built set ups would help with this.

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

Litmus helps us quality control the emails we send out. It removes a huge amount of manual testing by providing all email clients in one place.

"My review towards litmus!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

I use it's tracking code to get an in depth analysis of our audience to see how they are consuming our content.

Also I like how it offers a very user friendly way to view emails across multiple platforms.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

It's a great tool for an email marketer overall so nothing that I can say I dislike!

"Accurate Render Representation"
What do you like best about Litmus?

The integration directly inside Salesforce is most helpful. One upside is that you can choose your email clients. Issues with accessibility, etc. are clearly flagged for review. There is a useful approval process for us to follow. We can even edit our email code in real time.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Sometimes the renders take a minute to load, and some may not load at all. Once inside Salesforce, I wish I didn't have to log in a second time to get into Litmus.

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

Litmus is solving our rendering problems. Without it, I would only be able to see how our emails render in my desktop and my mobile (only 2 of many possible email clients).

"Litmus has changed the way we are able to preview our emails prior to sending to our customers"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Allows us to view our communications on a wide range of devices and clients to see where we need to make updates. The email analyzer is very helpful as well.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

There are certain times where the SFMC connector will not work and we will be required to log out of SFMC and back in for it to properly connect to Litmus.

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

Quicker email communication QA time which allows us to get to market quicker with our communications.

"Effective tool for checking email across multiple devices and platforms"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Being able to quickly check what your email looks like across a wide range of devices and browsers, even in dark mode, and being able to create a shortlist of your favourites.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

It can sometimes be a little slow to update. And that isn't just the previews. I will often softly test my emails in Mailchimp first, because the browser view is slow to update in Litmus. The previews take quite a while of course, but I understand why.

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

Email clients display the same code so different. Litmus helps you to test them effectively and quickly compared to obviously looking at each one for real which would be totally impractical. You can then cater to as wide a range of devices as possible. The dark mode option has been especially helpful lately

What do you like best about Litmus?

Email preview tools are best in class. It's an essential part of our MarTech stack.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

We still miss the website preview tool. The use case is now so specific, we wish it could be utilized in other ways.

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

We send a ton of emails on behalf of our clients. This cuts our QA time way down.

"An Essential Tool for Email Marketing - Litmus"
What do you like best about Litmus?

It's worked well for us. We love how easy it is to use the campaign builder. This software has a very good dashboard that gives you a comprehensive overview of all your campaign statistics. They also offer great software integrations like Pardot.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

It's hard to find anything we dislike about limus, but if they could give us more templates to design our email, that would be great.

"Industry standard email tool"
What do you like best about Litmus?

User interface is clean and well-thought-out. Litmus has most of the email browsers you would ever want for testing, so it covers all of your bases there. I do like the folder sorting organization and it is easy to retrieve your past work or tests.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Often times the integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud doesn't work for us. Setting up the integration can be a little pain at first. Often the authentication fails with the integration with no good troubleshooting offered.

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

We love LItmus for very "designed" emails. Emails that really are a departure from our normal email templates. We find design and accessibility issues before our users find them!

"Litmus is an absolutely capable and effective email marketing tool."
What do you like best about Litmus?

I love that Litmus offers a full suite of tools that provide our team with the means to create, proof, and approve all of our multifaceted emails in one central location.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Litmus tends to be rather buggy, and when we reach out for support, we get prompt replies but no promise of a timeline to fix the issues and bugs we have found. They do not release change logs so the changes they make are always random surprises.

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

Litmus solved a big problem for us in our email proofing methods. We used to send every proof manually and then gather feedback in our project management tool. We are now able to do it faster and in one tool.

"Great tool for reviewing emails, but can improve the UI"
What do you like best about Litmus?

The variety of combinations you can test your emails on is great. Litmus also tells you about the latest trends and helps you keep up with them. It also has the solutions to the common problems you might be facing.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I think the UI change that Litmus did around a year and a half back was not the best. The old UI was much easier to use while the new one is unnecessarily complicated.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

To insert tracking code in our Marketo emails, the process is somewhat manual and has to be done on an email-by-email basis which is somewhat time-consuming and boring.

"Litmus is a great tool for QA campaigns before they go to market!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

The dashboard displays how a campaign renders in different versions of operating systems and makes it easy to identify areas of improvement before deploying it live.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I don't have much to say in terms of dislike because I haven't explored the design and build functions of this site. It seems like a lot of work to build on the site and export to the ESP.

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

I use Litmus to send tests and simulate how a campaign will render in mobile vs. desktop or in different OS. I think it's great to see a preview of how the code will display especially when there is the use of animation or tables.
