What do you like best about Litmus?

Litmus has made my role at work so much easier! It has been a breeze to check emails on all different platforms on one website. I used to have to send emails from the ESP to all different email addresses and check them from my phone, tablet, and desktop. With Litmus, I have saved so much time. I also love the fact that our clients can make corrections directly in the email, letting us know what to change or fix. It's also very easy to send emails directly from the ESP to Litmus to check for spam issues! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

We sometimes have issues where the code doesn't update the changes, but they are seen in the previews. This can be frustrating when there is a tight turnaround on a deadline, and we have to go back and forth between the two previews to see what hasn't been changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Litmus is solving the problem of checking the emails to make sure they look great across providers and platforms. Before Litmus, we had to do this manually and it just took forever. Litmus has saved me hours of time allowing me to test emails on different providers and platforms directly on Litmus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Becca Gage of Litmus

Hi Kelsey,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Litmus! I'm sorry to hear you've had some issues with the code not updating, we completely understand how that would be frustrating. If you are still experiencing this issue, please feel free to reach out to our support team at hello@litmus.com, they are always here to help.

Thanks!

What do you like best about Litmus?

The length view allows you to view all your email client tests at once and zoom your browser in with full resolution. This allows me to eyeball and complete visual design/layout QA within 2 minutes, instead of opening each individual email-client test result to verify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

There is no automatic email folder sorting. So it can just become a big running list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Litmus enables us to confidently send out all our marketing campaigns by allowing us to visually-check individual emails before we send them out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Litmus?

One of the main upsides of using Litmus is the dynamic preview that is updated as and when we code, also the previews from different devices which helps to understand the rendering in various email clients and devices.

Also the Litmus personalize pro which helps build reusable content blocks with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Some downsides I have faced is the platform is a little slow sometimes and it takes a longer time to load previews and sometimes throws "page not responding" error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Litmus is majorly solving the issue to test mail templates in various devices by instead offering all device previews in one place.

Also it helps in solving the problem of hosting assets we use in our email templates as litmus does that for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Litmus?

I've used Litmus for years. It beats Email on Acid hands down. The Builder feature is intuitive. Overall if you build emails, templates etc you're going to need a platform that shows you how your work looks on a bunch of platforms. Litmus is the best. The ability to quickly share preview sets to stakeholders is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

If it was more intuitive to narrrow down previews to just one or two problem browsers so that I'm not going through the previews quite as quickly would be great, Also the Salesforce plug-in is so limited as to be pointless. But overall, until someone does better, Litmus rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Consistency across browsers and the cause of hair loss de jour Dark Mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Becca Gage of Litmus

Hi Kirk,

Thank you for being a long-time user of Litmus! We're glad to hear that you find our platform to be the best for testing! Check out this help article about setting up testing profiles - I think it might be what you're looking for to narrow down your preview lists http://help.litmus.com/article/227-change-your-default-email-clients-list and then as far as the limitations you're finding with the Salesforce integration, our team would be happy to review the in-depth capabilities on a call with you if you're interested! Just reach out to hello@litmus.com if you want to set up a demo/training.

Thanks Kirk!

What do you like best about Litmus?

Litmus makes email creation easy! From coding highlights to snippets and templates, it's easy to integrate business specific and critical dynamic coding into the platform to use in our system. Haven't used customer support that much but it is helpful when needed. I use this tool daily, and don't know what I would do without it. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Can't think of anything that I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Litmus is our go-to solution for creating accurate and dynamic email content. Whether we're using snippets or editing templates, it's a super easy, fast-to-learn tool that makes coding a breeze.

What do you like best about Litmus?

Litmus helps us know as email marketers quickly and efficiently what our emails look like across a wide spectrum of platforms and devices. The renderings are delivered at remarkable speed, and the preview pane is designed for collaboration. I like being able to make notes on the individual renders so that my team can communicate clearly about where the issues might lie. We use Litmus for all of our templates, roughly 2-3 sends daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

The only downside is that it can take a lot of time to click through all of the proofs, and I wish that the preview pane tiles could expand with a hover rather than a full slide show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Litmus is helping solve a few problems:

1. How do we create content that renders at time of open

2. How do we test our emails across a wide variety of platforms and devices to make sure that our designs are optimized for all of our audience

3. When we come across a problem, how can we experiment with our HTML coding without inadvertently breaking the design already in our email marketing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Litmus?

I love that you can view email previews across all devices - and the program checks to see if your creative is ADA compliant and passes accessibility checks. The platform is easy to use and a great starter platform for both new and experienced email developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

There are some render issues in certain previews that litmus creates, the most recent one I can think of is using rounded edges in iPhone previews for CTA buttons will error, and show as blank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Litmus solves the issue and addresses the need to optimize one email for multiple email clients and devices. It benefits me because it keeps my creative organized, efficient, and gives my team a space for everyine to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Becca Gage of Litmus

Hi Paige,

We're glad to hear that you find Litmus to be your go-to email testing program! We appreciate your feedback about the email previews and ADA compliance checks. We apologize for any render issues you have experienced, and we are constantly working to improve our platform to provide a better user experience.

Thanks!

What do you like best about Litmus?

1. I am still learning the Litmus platform, but I am already in love with such features as Personalized Content and Email Guardian.

2. The interface is intuitive and user friendly.

3. Litmus content, like their newsletters, is an absolute delight—well-written and visually stunning. They remind me of a delicious cupcake that I want to sink my teeth into right away! :)

4. Last but not the least, customer support seems to be friendly and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

1. Not 100% sure yet (I am still learning). But I think I'd like to see more ready-to-go templates.

2. Also, it may be slow sometimes to render email previews and when I send out a test email to my inbox, that email is just all blank. However, it doesn't happen often.

3. Currently, I can only send test emails to the addresses we have set up in Litmus. I’d love the option to send to additional email addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Preview emails in various email clients

- Content personalization

- Email marketing education Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Litmus?

What I like about Litmus is its capability to address and support their customers in all aspects of their marketing requirements. May it be, email design, building, testing, review and approvals, spam testing, and analytics. Our email templates, modules and brand colors are stored in Litmus. We design and build emails in Litmus and sync them to our ESP. With our ESP being directly integrated to Litmus, we don't always have to go back and forth on email testing. Emails can be reviewed without leaving ESP instance.

Analytics are superb, it gives us data how our subscribers are engaging on our campaigns, what email clients and devices they use to read our emails. This whole set of data give us a full view on how to approach and improve our email marketing program.

It is really worth the investment. Litmus is always there to support their customers' success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Our company has a number of sub-accounts. Hopefully a feature on how to share templates, snippets and partials between sub-accounts would be a great ease of use. Right now, when there is a need to update on one template, I have to manually make changes on affected sub-accounts. Copying of snippets between sub-accounts will be great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Manual testing - Before Litmus, we do our testing by using two phones (Android, IOS), an Ipad, and a desktop. It was a manual way of testing our emails on limited devices and email clients. We were not considerate how email renderings have affected email engagement. Litmus served as our eye-opener. It was a 360-degree change in our email marketing program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Becca Gage of Litmus

Hi there,

It's great to hear that Litmus has helped address the manual testing challenges you were facing, and that it has significantly improved your email marketing program! We're dedicated to providing solutions that benefit our customers, and we're thrilled to hear about the positive impact Litmus has had for your team.

Thanks!
