I think SilverPop shows some good balance. Just like Harriet, I would like to have seen a cost comparison as well.
Based on the percentage of their clients on self service, paired with getting the maximum grade in management and employee base for strategy, it shows that they invest a good portion of their time in after sale support/training. Their product seems extremely solid.

Yes, these are entprise level top 15 but what about small business solutions. Anyone have an opinion using same scoring but with accomodation low cost at least for entry level as a major factor?

Hey Harriet. I saw your comment and felt obliged to chime in. Our platform (Zeta Interactive) did real well in this Forrester Wave Report and we have something that none of these other providers can offer; a dedicated infrastructure (so that your emails don’t get caught in the queue due to holdups with other client mail).

We have some advantages as well, so if you’re interested, feel free to send me an email at hguzman@zetainteractive.com.

And yes, Constant Contact is not in the same league as these platforms. It’s like comparing a ripe, delicious apple to a very simple and minimal orange ; )

I have been using Constant Contact and am not enamoured with their services. I have been looking for others and recently came across Exact Target so I was glad to see this report. Cost would have been a valuable criteria to include for those of us comparing services but I guess since this is a performance report, not a value report, it was omitted.

I do not think Constant Contact is in the same league as many of these ESPs. Most of the low-dollar solutions are not truly competitive to these larger services. There is a lot more to an ESP than just sending out email. It would simply not be apples to apples.

What I find interesting is that “cost” doesn’t seem to have any impact on the ratings/rankings.

@PJ Naughton
PJ, Actually, I have the same concern, may be Constant Contact forgot to pay ‘co-funding’ Marketing dollar to Forrester group for this report.
